Comprehensive Alimony Investigation Services Hiring a reliable private investigator is your first step in proving the cohabitation that your ex-spouse may now be taking part in. Alimony is financially tricky and can cost a lot of money, stress, and mental exhaustion, which is why it is vital to hire an experienced private investigator that will help navigate the investigation and determine a peaceful coexistence between you and your ex-spouse.  Proving cohabitation with an ex-spouse, who is so obviously cohabitating with someone else in a romantic setting, is not as easy as one would think. Because it is highly unlikely that your former significant other will admit to any form of cohabitation with another individual, hiring a private investigator is the best route to go. Private investigators will gather all evidence and even obtain evidence that you yourself cannot.  Three of the largest ways we are able to determine whether or not a former spouse is having habitual relations with another individual is by documenting any comings and goings of the ex-spouse, recording the person who resides, or even appears to live with, your ex and interview any potential witnesses. It is utterly important to understand that these techniques should only be undertaken by a professional private investigator. Any other instances may lead to you being arrested for stalking and/or harassment. Call us today for a free consultation.

The Police Executive Research Forum (PERF) has a conflict of interest and should not be providing recommendations on use of force training for officers. PERF sells its own brand of police training called ICAT: https://lnkd.in/d_dCwafm and its report recommendations are designed to sell more ICAT training. The PERF marketing model is to bring together a group of their members and supporters for a discussion forum and then publish a report afterwards that recommends purchasing the services that PERF provides. PERF did the same thing in 2016 when it published its Guiding Principles on Use of Force: https://lnkd.in/dkfgz5_E Some of the agencies that adopted these "Guiding Principles" are now under DOJ investigation or federal consent decrees for having a pattern or practice of unconstitutional uses of force. For this new report, PERF did not do any of its own research. Instead, PERF relied on the Associated Press and other media organizations to do their research for them. As a result, PERF's recommendations are the product of a "garbage in - garbage out" data analysis. PERF simply took the research findings of media reporters and repackaged them to sell more of PERF's services. There is also nothing new in the PERF report and these same ideas and recommendations have been around for more than 20 years. The PERF report is careful not to mention any controversial issues like vascular neck restraints (VNR). Our peer-reviewed research has shown that VNR is an effective use of force technique that has a minimal risk of injury to officers and subjects when properly applied: https://lnkd.in/gksk9uqE However, after the death of George Floyd, which was not caused by VNR, many states and law enforcement agencies banned the use of the technique. Our data shows that prohibiting the use of VNR has resulted in an increase in the use of less lethal and lethal weapons with a corresponding increase in serious injuries. There is no evidence that banning VNR has saved a single life. If PERF is serious about improving policing practices using data-driven methodologies to create evidence-based best practices, then I would like to invite PERF to collaborate on some research projects using the comprehensive use of force database that we have created. #police #lawenforcement #policing #policereform #policeaccountability #policemisconduct #policeofficer #policedepartment #policeofficers #lawenforcementofficer #statistics #dataanalysis #research #analytics #datascience #data #dataanalytics #datadriven #evidencebased #bigdata #minneapolis #sheriff #perf #doj #departmentofjustice #training #policetraining #lawenforcementtraining https://lnkd.in/dd5rrx2b

If anyone is interested in handwriting analysis and statement analysis here is a podcast I just did on the subjects. https://lnkd.in/eS6tyqTZ

Whew, slippppppery slope on this one. Does the statement make sense? For sure. It is based on a large body of information that many of us in the profession already recognize (while still playing to the beat of response times to increase funding). This statement hits the nail on the head that measured patient outcomes SHOULD grossly outweigh dated metrics that were stolen (borrowed) from other first-response professions. BUT: How has your agency traditionally communicated the need for increased providers to the taxpayer/elected officials? Well (I can almost guarantee), you have probably used the "based on our call volume, the availability of our units is decreasing which could lead to EXTENDED RESPONSE TIMES." Based on that (usually overhyped) concern, our profession has been successful in adding units, personnel, and even offshoot business models (looking at you CP/MIH). Now we are suggesting that many of the top national agencies are making the point that response times generally don't mean as much as we thought they did? I would approach that idea with kid gloves and make sure it is being run through the most suave politically talented people you have in your organization because it is going to be met with challenges. As a side note, did you notice who appears to be missing from this fray of agencies? CPSE (unless listing the Center for Public Safety was just an editorial issue, as CPS and CPSE are two different organizations). An organization that many agencies have relied on to help push the envelope for financing efforts by using metrics like response times and accessibility. I can't stress enough that I agree with this statement (and would push it even further to say things like our use of lights and sirens is GROSSLY abused, basic/AEMT transport units with medic chasers are the most effective system, and strong CP/MIH programs can assist with education and misuse of EMS, but I digress). It is just important that agency leaders are careful about communicating that a change in metrics does not always equate to a change in need. Otherwise, you may find yourself back-peddling into decreased resources because "response times aren't particularly impactful." https://lnkd.in/eDQYwqyU

Across the nation for years, we have seen headlines of lowered (or removed!) fitness standards. Many able and effective police recruits are disillusioned with the check box standards or academy exercise regimens. One can see why agency leaders across the nation have appealed and asked to reduce or remove standards, citing a lack of candidates.. but it doesn't mean it makes any sense whatsoever and surely is the ultimate can-kick. Many officers and trainers are seeing the detrimental effects. It's not just the physical abilities, but when you remove someone's necessity to overcome some basic physical training discomfort and hardship, you also remove their agency to endure other discomfort and hardship. We need to build BETTER cops, which means higher expectations, now lower. If we have lower applicant pools, we need to raise incentives and support... it's simple economics!! I digress.. Back to the main point, in discussion of this critical topics, I've brought on two industry heavy hitters: returning guest, physical-tactical-athletic trainer and expert, host of Iron Sights podcast and owner of Red Dot Fitness SCOTT HOWELL (see ep. 100!) and active SWAT Officer and training instructor, wellness coordinator, and owner of Tactical Human Performance CHRIS KURAS. Listen in and listen up, spread the word on the episode that more cops, applicants, administrators, politicians and public ALL need to hear!

Bias in your EMS CQI program can be a quality killer. Even agencies with the best of intentions have some degree of bias in it, that’s just human nature. There are ways however to minimize the effects of bias on your process that will enhance your efforts and minimize the complaints and dissatisfaction that come with a biased CQI program. In this episode, Paul and Kevin discuss how bias can negatively impact your patient care quality and what to do about it.

In 2024 more police officers and staff members have been dismissed through misconduct since 2006. The numbers have nearly doubled. Why? Has policing suddenly discovered they have a bunch of untrustworthy, disobedient, inappropriate, disrespectful, fickle and bullish Police officers or do they have a group of uneducated, inexperienced, unskilled and untrained workforce? In October 2014 the Government published a report regarding a review by Major-General Chip Chapman CB regarding proposals to reform police disciplinary systems and in that report, he wrote: “At the heart of the issue throughout this report is not discipline at all; it is the sum of governance, leadership, management, ethos, ethics, training, culture and behaviours”. Why then in 2024 some 10 years later is policing continuing with what is described by many as a blame culture, a culture that runs fear amongst the lower ranks? Policing is supposedly embracing a learning culture, which clearly isn’t working. We know from experience over many, many years that where there is a blame culture there is a culture of internal distrust, where there is negativity there is de-motivation, where a system is adversarial there is a lack of co-operation and where there is a feeling that “they are out to get you” there is little or no desire to improve. Sadly, this is where I believe policing sits and the only people that can change that culture are those instigating and promoting the current systems against police officers. In the last 4 years there has been 4 major reviews into Police officer conduct. The Casey Review, The Angiolini inquiry, Review into police vetting, misconduct and misogyny in England and Wales and finally in 2023 the Review by Government/Home Office of the Police disciplinary system. From my reading of such reviews in brief the ethos, intentions or drive is to enable police forces to dismiss more officers. 593 officers dismissed in 12 months and many more to follow, is this the attention-grabbing story that truly rebuilds public trust? Reading some of the headlines of some of those cases I suspect not. Or is it time for politicians to now invest in policing, is it now the time to recruit the best there is in society regardless of gender, race, religion and sexuality, is it time to provide the best training to better educate and develop the skills of our police officers, is it time to make policing a rewarding profession where pays reflects the risk and sacrifice officers make to their personal life and is it time that appointed police leaders focus on policing and supporting their workforce rather than playing petty politics in an attempt to climb the slippery pole of self-generated success? https://lnkd.in/ekwmbwGJ

Reported cases of fabricated latent print evidence far outnumber cases of known erroneous identifications. And yet we focus quality control policies on preventing erroneous identifications. Every latent print examiner needs to know the warning signs of fabricated evidence because a shocking percentage of career examiners will see it at some point in their career. In addition, criminal defense attorneys should be aware of the possibility that evidence against their client has been fabricated, especially when the client is adamant about innocence and the only physical evidence is a latent fingerprint. In that case, a private expert in latent print fabrication should be consulted. I will be leading an 8-hour webinar on forged and fabricated latent print evidence on Wednesday, June 12, 2024. I will discuss cases of fabricated evidence throughout the history of fingerprints, with special attention to the cases I have caught personally both in the crime lab and as a defense consultant. The webinar is being hosted by TriTech Forensic Training and is accepted by the IAI for 8 hours of training credit for both latent print and tenprint certifications.
