This is only the first step toward preparing law enforcement to conduct proper and safe responses to such incidents. In conjunction, managers should also collaborate with local public health authorities to develop coordinated plans for the broader response effort required to deal with this deadly disease.

Evidence Collection, Control, & Storage

Price (Shown in U.S. Dollars)
15.00

Overview

 This is an   OSS Academy® Evidence Collection, Control, & Storage online training course offered for Peace Officers, Jailers, and Telecommunicators.

Law enforcement officers, as part of their regular responsibilities, gain possession of types of evidence that vary widely by their very nature. Evidence may include a priceless work of art, the murder victim’s clothing, or even biohazardous materials. Such items of evidence must be held by law enforcement agencies under strict legal constraints and under the control and safekeeping of an evidence custodian from the beginning through the final disposition of the case. Collecting, storing, safekeeping, and managing evidence are serious responsibilities for all officers in any agency, not to mention, the evidence custodian. The failure of agencies to establish effective and efficient systems to gather, manage, and secure evidence has led to civil and criminal charges against officers. Additionally, not maintaining evidence correctly cripples the ability of the criminal justice system to successfully prosecute offenders.

Please note, the entire course final exam(s), and course evaluation(s) must be completed in order to receive one (1) hour of course credit.

Fusion Centers & Intelligence-Led Policing

OSS-FCILP-NW

Price (Shown in U.S. Dollars)

Overview

This is a Fusion Centers & Intelligence-Led Policing online training course offered for Peace Officers, Jailers, and Telecommunicators.

Intelligence is an essential police function. Without it, organized crime and its varied activities can go unnoticed for years until it becomes a major problem. However, it is also common for intelligence to be gathered and used in most aspects of society, business, and government. Police agencies that use intelligence-led policing (ILP) and participate in fusion center operations become more effective in fighting crime and become proactive in preventing future crime. In spite of this, we find few law enforcement agencies even have an intelligence officer or department.

Please note, the entire course, final exam(s), and course evaluation(s) must be completed in order to receive one (1) hour of course credit.

No region of the United States is untouched by gangs. Gangs affect society at all levels, causing heightened fears for safety, violence, and economic costs.

This is an OSS Academy® Homicide Investigations online training course offered for Peace Officers, Jailers, and Telecommunicators.

Each year in the U.S. there are approximately 16,000 homicides reported, and probably another ±4,000 that are not reported, or are mis-categorized. Most homicide investigations start with the arrival of the first officer at the scene. Yet, few officers are trained in the actual conduct of a homicide investigation.
