Recognition and Response to CST in Tribal Casinos

January 16, 2019 | Harris, MI
Enlightened us about the subject of CST/HRV as a silent epidemic of the community and the need for everyone to address this issue. The presenter’s skills in interviewing were demonstrated through videotaped interviews, stories, and role play. The relatability of the presenters and their years of shared experience with the topic was very effective. This modeled the importance of relationships in working with this population. Liked that the problem was addressed and a solution was provided. We get to see concrete ways we can address these problems in reason and different services got to be around each other in the training.

My sense of urgency in abducted children cases has increased dramatically... Thoughtful, thorough and quality speakers. Fantastic job of knowledge of local case law and the differences between state and federal issues... I will apply what I learned in training to be effective member of my CART team...

Very impactful, makes me want to go back to my agency to advocate for cold case/missing person unit... And to be more victim focused... I learned so much about resources I had no idea about looking forward to using them... New, relevant information presented... NCJTC always does a great job... The discussions of cases and the comparisons of cases from fellow law enforcement officers from around the country is intriguing to participate in.
