The purpose of this seminar is to assist law enforcement supervisors, trainers and personnel in the identification of training issues for the purpose of preventing the deaths and/or serious injuries of law enforcement personnel. The course content is being presented by a FBI-LEOKA program instructor. Instructional methods will include lecture, discussion, and reading analysis, the reviewing of interviews, video clips and learner-centered activities. Handout materials will be provided at no cost by the FBI’s CJISD LEOKA program.

 

This program will provide information on the history and policy relating to the LEOKA (Law Enforcement Officers Killed & Assaulted) Program. The emphasis of the presentation will be focused on the final companion study which was concluded in 2006, and resulted in a publication titled Violent Encounters. This study examines 40 incidents where police officers survived life threatening attacks. Demographic and behavioral descriptors for the victim officers and the offenders were developed and will be presented. The findings and resulting training issues will be presented.

 

Also provided are analyses between research projects resulting in three publications over twenty-years: Killed in the Line of Duty, In the Line of Fire, and Violent Encounters. The objectives of these studies were to identify elements in certain situations which led to the ultimate felonious deaths and serious injuries of police officers. Demographic and behavioral descriptors for the victim officers and the offenders were developed and will be presented. Findings and safety training issues will be presented.

 

Certificates of attendance will be provided at the completion of this seminar.
