Establishing Rapport with a Suspect
Reprinted with permission from John E Reid
We all know someone whom we respect and admire. It may be a teacher, coach, pastor, scout master, friend or parent. Assume that we committed a crime of some sort and this admired individual sat down and said:
"We both know you made a mistake and we also both know that the right thing to do is to tell the truth. For everyone concerned let people know why this thing happened. Did you plan this out, or did it just happen on the spur of the moment? I don't' think that you would ever plan something like this out, it was just the spur of the moment, wasn't it?"
Because of the established trust and respect felt toward this individual, we would very likely listen to his statements, nod our head in agreement, and confess that what we did happened on the spur of the moment.

 Stretching Your Budget In a Recession
Almost every agency is feeling the pinch of hard times, but there are ways to reduce the pain.
By Wendy Dutenhoeffer
Reprinted from Police Magazine
If you've ever had insomnia or worked rotating shifts you've probably seen late night infomercials. The announcers on these things have mastered peddling everything from lighted slippers to miracle bras. One of my favorites features a guy tanned and toned with his six-pack abs glistening in the sun, standing next to a Ferrari and a perfect Barbie babe. He expounds the wisdom of his proprietary program where you can make millions by sitting home, eating bonbons, and maybe spending an hour per day on your computer. That's some people's idea of sound economic advice.

Mexico Drug Trade Leaders Have Colorful Names
BY MARK STEVENSON
Reprinted from Officer.com
MEXICO CITY (AP) - When "The Worm Eater" and his sidekick "The Rat" were captured, they were allegedly carrying five grenades and about $1 million in cash. "Garbage" was caught extorting money from Mexico City bus drivers, police say. "The Pig" was known for his brutal style of killing rivals. "The Bum" allegedly burned and buried his victims in clandestine pits.
As Mexico's drug violence gets bloodier, with cartels competing to leave ever-bigger piles of slaughtered victims, drug traffickers are being tagged with ever-grittier, low-brow nicknames to reflect their impersonal, almost industrial style of violence.

The Value of Attending Regional Law Enforcement Shows: Get "Rock Star" Speakers without the Costs
Due to budget restrictions, many law enforcement officers must choose what conferences and events they can attend. While the majority of conferences have merit and value, not very often do you hear one being described as having "rock star" speakers, especially not a smaller, regional conference. Well, those were the words used to describe the 3rd annual Mid-Atlantic INLETS seminar (INtelligence and Law Enforcement Training Seminar) that took place the last week in June in Annapolis, Maryland. The five-day collaborative training program is designed using components from the FBI Field Offices in Washington D.C. and Baltimore, from InfraGard, and from the Maryland Coordination and Analysis Center (MCAC).
