Training System Manager/CJS
It is understood that one of the most basic forms of matter are the gases that make up our atmosphere.
Much is to be learned about the gases we breathe and the effects they have under certain circumstances.
It is also understood that the diver, recreational or commercial, understand these properties as well
as the behavior of these gases under hyperbaric conditions.
This workshop is a review of these principles and affords further understanding as to the necessity of safe diving practices.
Many of the gas laws reviewed, or as part of a curriculum in recreational diving, are not adequate enough to give
the diver the education and understanding necessary to dive as safe as possible. This has become quite prevalent
in studying mortality rates among recreational divers.
One of the focal points of this workshop is to review typical gas laws associated in recreational diving and extend
this knowledge base beyond that level. The Anatomy and Physiology and the Pathophysiological are included in
order to provide clarity of each gas law and the effects of each. The subject matter extends beyond the
gas laws to include the following:
Morning workshop: 4 hours given in 55 minute increments.
1.Overview of Responsibilities and Qualifications of those involved in Crime Scene and Death Investigations.
2.Documentation: including the: how, who, where, when and what.
3.Photographic evidence: including ultraviolet photography, as an intricate part of the Documentation Process.
4.Evidence: Preservation, chain of custody and evidence protection considerations. As fail safe as humanly possible?
5.Temperature control of the evidence that is collected: How to preserve and protect the evidence environment.
6.Most common requirements knowledge and skills for the CSI: Why are agency protocols different?
7.Primary gas laws.
8.Pathophysiological Aspects of Hyperbaric exposure.
9.Advanced Anatomy and Physiology: The six stages of decomposition and postmortem anatomical changes in the fluid medium
including the body cooling rate. What may affect the six stages of decomposition and the body decomposition and cooling rate?
10.Immersion Hypothermia: a review of each stage.
11.Exothermic Diving increases Diver Safety.
12.Pharmacological considerations.
13.Shallow Water Blackout, Dysbaric Diving Casualties, Avascular necrosis, Pulmonary Barotrauma.
14.Gas Exchange, Nitrogen absorption.
15.Histology of Alveolar Walls, Salt water aspiration syndrome.
16.Complication regarding pulmonary elasticity: Hooks Law.
17.Diving equipment configuration and safety devices: breathing underwater; an air delivery system or life support system?
Is it configured properly with the right safety systems incorporated?
18.External Canal Squeeze.
19.Barosinusitis, Cranial Nerve Barotrauma, Perilymph Fistula, Alternobaric Vertigo, BPPV.
20.Cranial Nerve Involvement.
21.AGE.
Afternoon workshop: 4 hours given in 55 minute increments.
1.Evaluation of the Scene: a methodical and systematic approach. Exceed the expectations of the court.
2.Primary tools used in Crime Scene and Death Investigations: How does the Jury interpret this information and why are specific
departmental protocols used?
3.Safety and health risks involved in crime scene investigations: What are you overlooking?
4.Precipitating events: The what, where, when, how. Minimizing "dive time and diver exposure". And why is it so
important to document what was ingested, injected, absorbed or inhaled?
5.Reasonable doubt regarding controversy in fingerprints: ballistics and trace evidence. New challenges and arguments.
6.Step by step documentation process of decedent. Why does the diagram have two arrows pointing "N" north?
7.Evaluation. The Decedent, why are precipitating events so important?
8.What are some of the similarities in the submerged victim and victims on land?
9.Decontamination Protocols ~ Diving Equipment - Contamination and decontamination of equipment.
10.Panic and the diver response. The number one cause of diver fatality?
11.Saltwater Aspiration Syndrome, what is it and how does it affect the diver physically.
12.Critical Incident Stress. What is debriefing supposed to accomplish?
13.What is Reactive and Situational Depression?
14.What are bipolar, unipolar and endogenous psychological disorders?
15.Review of popular underwater homicide case in the Carolina's; The CSIDT International Documentation.** Power point presentation**

7th Annual Conference on Crimes Against Women
400 N. Olive St
Dallas, TX
The Conference on Crimes Against Women seeks to bring together all those who may respond to crimes of
female victimization and arm them with the most effective, most relevant, and most up-to-date
training available to battle this worldwide epidemic.
Federal, state, and local law enforcement officers; federal, state and local prosecutors, and victim advocates
will gather this year in Dallas to participate in workshops, computer labs, and case studies that will address
all types of crimes in which women are targeted.
We hope that you join us for the 2012 Conference and help improve the way these cases are investigated,
improve the way they are prosecuted, and improve the way the victims of these crimes are treated
within the criminal justice system.

Special Problems in Traffic Crash Reconstruction
12000 Alumni Drive
Jacksonville, Florida
Each year, IPTM's Special Problems in Traffic Crash Reconstruction conference brings both the law
enforcement and crash reconstruction communities the most important, up-to-date issues in the field.
This year, at the 30th anniversary of this premier event, we will once again offer you the chance
to work side by side with experience professionals to learn the very latest techniques
in crash reconstruction.
Staged collision will highlight several issues relating to a moving tractor-trailer which has been struck from
behind by a moving passenger vehicle. Since previous testing has proven that the friction force of a stationary
tractor-trailer with the parking brakes set can produce a significant external impulse when struck in the rear
by a passenger vehicle, we will look at which analysis results are sensitive with regards to the measured data.
In addition, we will analyze the crash affects of a moving car which strikes a moving bicyclist.
Topics schedule for the 2012 conference include:
* Current Research in HVEDR (Heavy Vehicle Event Data Recorder) Technology
* Event Data Recorder Update
* Advancements in the Use of the iWitness Photogrammetric System in Traffic Crash Reconstruction
* Introduction to Crush Analysis
* Introduction to HVEDR (Heavy Vehicle Event Data Recorder) Technology
* GPS Forensic Investigations
* Collision Analysis - Kinematics, Vectors and Delta-V
* Trace Evidence: Locating, Collecting, Analysis - What Can I Expect?
* Night and Low-Light Digital Photography for Crash Reconstruction including iPhone/iPad Photo Apps
* Case Review: High Speed Pedestrian Fatality with EDR Data
* How Risky are Distracted Drivers? The Results from Naturalistic Driving Studies
* Reconstruction 101: Speed, Cause and Avoidability
* Boating Accident Investigations

Sacramento Police Department and the Race Across America
Oceanside, California to Annapolis, Maryland
Greetings,
I am trying to reach out and spread our message about a national event that our police department is doing for the
National Law Enforcement Memorial in Washington DC. I am on a mission to get 5,000 people to donate just $30 to our cause.
For their charitable donation, they will receive a challenge coin commemorating our event.
The only way I will get 5,000 donations is to get our message out to as many people as I can.
This is a very unique event for a great cause! Our 8 man team will push ourselves through 6 days of sleepless pain
for the heroism of our fallen family.
The Sacramento Police Department is embarking on a unique adventure that will bring national attention to the
nearly 19,000 law enforcement officers who have been killed while protecting the communities of this nation.
On June 18, 2011, the Sacramento Police Department Cycling Team was the first all law enforcement team to
compete in the Race Across America. The race is an epic 3,000-mile bicycle race from California to Maryland.
In June of 2012 Team Sac PD plans to take on that challenge again!
Sac PD's cycling team will again raise money and bring media attention to the National Law Enforcement Memorial
in Washington DC. Working with the hundreds of federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies along the route,
Team SPD will honor law enforcement officers killed by carrying their names, visiting local and state memorials,
and encouraging media coverage of our efforts.
On average, one law enforcement officer is killed in the line of duty somewhere in the United States every 53 hours.
As a racing member of Team Sac PD, I encourage you to help us at the Sacramento Police Department honor America's law
enforcement officers as we work to commemorate the sacrifice of our fallen comrades.
For more information and a fast, secure way to donate, please visit our website at
http://www.sacpd.org/teamsacpd/raam. You can choose how you would
like to participate in the event and honor officers who have given their lives so that our communities are safer.
Thank you for being a supporter of law enforcement and we look forward to your support in this unique endeavor.
