Children face the most danger from abuse in their own homes. Child physical abuse can take many forms, from malnutrition to broken bones to burns and bites. Proving who is responsible and how those injuries occurred can be a monumental task when everything happens behind closed doors and at the hands of a caregiver. This training will help prosecutors, law enforcement, and other allied professionals understand how to build a case of physical abuse despite the challenges these cases can present.

We speak different languages but have the same goal: the truth. This training is all about communication, and provides an opportunity to understand what each discipline needs, what each can provide, and how best we can work together.

This program examines policing within the legal and political framework of Nazi Germany- a journey that eventually turned those who should protect life and liberty into those who intimidated, humiliated, deported, and eventually murdered millions of innocent people. Using historical images and stories from the Holocaust, this course engages law enforcement and prosecutors in a dialogue about the role of law enforcement in today’s communities and the importance of core values ensuring the integrity and vibrancy of democracy.

This two-day training will cover hot topics and issues that prosecutors and officers ask us about throughout the year. We will provide information about impaired driving and traffic safety issues that aren’t always in the mainstream as well as routine issues that can always be improved.
