Since October 7, 2023, when Hamas horrifically attacked the State of Israel, antisemitic behavior across the United States and our state has sharply increased. Some of the more alarming actions include riots on college campuses, protests in the streets, and threats against Jewish people on social media. This continuing legal education and law enforcement training is designed to increase awareness of antisemitism and educate on how to combat such disturbing conduct. It will provide 1) insight on antisemitism in Indiana; 2) an explanation with case studies on antisemitic extremism and how it is becoming an “acceptable” extremist ideology in America; and 3) an overview of the First Amendment and its implications for antisemitic rhetoric.
Speakers: Todd Rokita - Attorney General, State of Indiana Allon Friedman, M.D. - President, Jewish American Affairs Committee of Indiana Dr. Lorenzo Vidino - Director of the Program on Extremism, George Washington University James Barta - Solicitor General, State of Indiana

Victim Advocacy within the Juvenile Justice System
Sept. 23-24, 2024
Round Room located in Fishers, Indiana
The Juvenile Justice System operates much differently than the adult Criminal Justice System. Great emphasis is placed on the rehabilitation of offenders, but how do victim rights coexist in the system?
The training will examine the role of victim advocacy within the Juvenile Justice System. The first day will provide an overview of the Juvenile Justice System and the points where victim rights intersect with the process. On day two, the training will look at advocacy through the lens of teen dating violence. The day will begin by examining teen dating violence and then proceed through the various system interactions that shape a victim’s experience. It will end with the provision of victim services to teenage victims.
Victim Advocacy within the Juvenile Justice System is provided at no cost to persons who provide direct services to victims of crime and are employed by a government or non-profit organization. Registration is required.
12 hours of continuing legal education credit (CLEs) and social work CEUs.

Interview and Interrogation for Drug Investigations
Sept. 30 - Oct. 4, 2024
Muncie Fraternal Order of Police #87
821 S. Butterfield Road, Muncie, IN 47303
Not cost to attend - funded by the Midwest Counterdrug Training Center
Course Description: Many organizations manufacturing and distributing illicit narcotics within the United States are specially trained to evade and deceive law enforcement officers when questioned. Gathering information from the lowest level dealer and then turning the information into action is the most effective means of infiltrating higher levels of drug networks and is successful in curbing the flow of drugs. Gathering accurate and predictive information through interviews and interrogations increases the success rates of identifying new targets and prosecution. This course is designed to enable federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement professionals to enhance their ability to gain information and determine the truth about illicit narcotics activity through the interview and interrogation process. It teaches specialized skills that enable detection of deception through non-verbal and verbal communication with both theory and practical application.
Interview and Interrogation is a 5-day (40 hour) course.
