The Week's Topics

General Sessions:

Visual Intelligence with Amy Herman, Featured Presenter

Amy Herman, who has degrees in law and art history, returns to INLETS bringing her message of the Art of Perception: how to assess, analyze, and articulate what we observe. To practice these skills, she presents numerous works of art integrating with responding to real-life crime.  Featured at TED Talks, she regularly instructs for the FBI, CIA, NYPD, and other major companies, including Google.

Also known as the Long Island Serial Killer, the Manorville Butcher, or the Craigslist Ripper, the Gilgo Beach serial killings were a series of murders spanning from the early 1990s until 2011 in Suffolk County, New York.  The cold case investigation led to the June 2024 arrest of Rex Heuermann, a Manhattan architect and resident of Long Island, has been charged in the murders.

What are they, how are they getting made, and how do you track them down? A look at case studies, building cases, and prosecuting offenders.

The case study on what many refer to as the “GPS case.”  The complex investigation using a T-III and introducing GPS as an investigative tool, the case went all the way to the US Supreme Court.  This drug trafficking case study reveals key elements to ensuring your investigative tech tools meets legal rigor.

The Salisbury Poisonings, was a botched assassination attempt to poison a former Russian military officer and double agent for the British Intelligence in the city of Salisbury, England.  The target and his daughter were poisoned by means of a Novichok nerve agent. They lost their home and all their possessions because of contamination. Investigators said that the perfume bottle containing the nerve agent contained enough to potentially kill thousands of people. Health units built a seal around the property and a military team dismantled and removed the buildings.  This was repeated at 12 other locations throughout the small town.

The Case Study of the Islamist domestic terrorist attack.  The Tsarnaev brothers planted two homemade pressure cooker bombs that detonated near the finish line of the race 14 seconds and 210 yards apart. 

The case agent shares details of the multi-agency manhunt, impact of technology in investigations, and working multiple crimes scenes.

Workshops: Multi-day PM sessions, like a mini-series, totaling 4.5 hours of instruction

Stalking with Cari Robins, FBI BAU

Voyeurism. Grooming. Hunting.   Different words defining how Subjects identify then target their prey.  A look at the violation that is commonly used in acts of violent and heinous crimes but seldom charged.  Hear case studies and learn concepts to use this charge to protect victims and further cases.

ISIS, Al Queda, Hamas, Hezbollah are often thought to be separated from the US by thousands of miles of ocean and desert.  This workshop looks at the impact of International terrorism, how it gains foothold in US communities through the internet, and how the attacks are inspired abroad but fostered and planned to be carried out in the homeland. 

More Coming Soon!

FOCUSED BREAKOUTS - a la cart topics held in the PM sessions.

    The Tribute to Heroes Evening Program

    The opening day of the VC&TT course includes a reception and dinner program entitled The Tribute to Heroes Program.  The night includes a plated dinner, where we recognize worthy peers and reflect on our fall officers.
    The program is included in registration. Attendees may purchase tickets for their guests.  

    The Fallen Officers Tribute

    The Fallen Officers Tribute reflects on those we have lost over the past year.
    To some, they were husbands, wives, parents, children, siblings, friends, and fellow colleagues.  To all of us, they were “friend.” And in their last full measure, they served.
    “Greater love has no one than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”

    The Above & Beyond Awards

    “Its just part of the job.” Often said.  And true.  In no other profession is the surreal and sublime  a daily expectation by superiors and strangers. 
    No matter the crisis or the challenge, the expectation is that we act with immediacy, empathy, decisively, and wisely based often on limited information and even less time.
    We recognize these worthy peers for their efforts and contributions.

      Fusion centers contribute to the Information Sharing Environment (ISE) through their role in receiving threat information from the federal government; analyzing that information in the context of their local environment; disseminating that information to local agencies; and gathering tips, leads, and suspicious activity reporting (SAR) from local agencies and the public. Fusion centers receive information from a variety of sources, including SAR from stakeholders within their jurisdictions, as well as federal information and intelligence. They analyze the information and develop relevant products to disseminate to their customers. These products assist homeland security partners at all levels of government to identify and address immediate and emerging threats.

      Beyond serving as a focal point for information sharing, fusion centers add significant value to their customers by providing a state and local context to help enhance the national threat picture. Fusion centers provide the federal government with critical state and local information and subject matter expertise that it did not receive in the past – enabling the effective communication of locally generated threat related information to the federal government. Integrating and connecting these state and local resources creates a national capacity to gather, process, analyze, and share information in support of efforts to protect the country.

      Our nation faces an evolving threat environment, in which threats not only emanate from outside our borders, but also from within our communities. This new environment demonstrates the increasingly critical role fusion centers play to support the sharing of threat-related information between the federal government and SLTT partners.

      1. Corporate culture change takes place in two ways: It grows from the bottom up, as shifting social and economic realities weave their way into the fabric of an organization. And it flows from the top down, as leaders recognize the inevitable changes taking place in the world and shape them to serve the best interests of the organization and everybody who is part of it.

      Full Spectrum Leadership is Lockheed Martin’s model for promoting and accelerating the latter type of change – the type that allows the company to create its own destiny and ensure that it will continue to thrive in the face of new competitive challenges. Visit their website here.
