SUMMARY:New Orleans Case Study
DESCRIPTION:This session outlines the FBI’s response to the January 1\, 2025 violent extremist attack in New Orleans. It highlights the rapid activation of the Crisis Response Plan\, coordination with local\, state\, and federal partners\, and the FBI’s assumption of lead investigative authority once the attack was determined to be ISIS‑inspired.Attendees will learn how more than two hundred personnel were deployed within 24 hours\, how advanced investigative techniques and international partnerships shaped the case\, and how an ISIS‑affiliated individual overseas was identified and arrested with support from Iraqi authorities.The session concludes with an overview of ongoing investigative efforts and the critical role of interagencycollaboration throughout the operation.

SUMMARY:Justice in the Age of Generative AI: The Impact of AI on 21st Century Investigations and Prosecutions
DESCRIPTION:The justice system depends on evidence. Generative AI now challenges the reliability of that evidence while simultaneously offering powerful new investigative capabilities. For violent crime investigators and prosecutors\, the stakes are immediate and profound. This keynote introduces a three-dimensional framework for understanding AI: capabilities\, tools\, and applications. It examines how synthetic media\, AI-generated communications\, automated analysis systems\, and algorithmic bias affect search decisions\, digital evidence collection\, forensic interpretation\, charging determinations\, and courtroom credibility. Attendees will gain practical strategies to identify AI-driven risks\, avoid automation bias\, maintain evidentiary integrity\, and ensure that emerging technology strengthens justice rather than undermining it.

SUMMARY:Lethality Assessment Protocol (LAP): Enhancing of Coordinated Community Response to Intimate Partner Violence
DESCRIPTION:Based on the “Maryland Model” and the research by Dr. Jacquelyn Campbell\, Virginia’s Lethality Assessment Program (LAP) is an innovative strategy to prevent Intimate Partner Violence homicides and serious injuries. Using an 11-question\, evidence-based Lethality Assessment field tool\, law enforcement can assess the risk of serious injury or homicide by an intimate partner and immediately connect the victim\, via a hotline call\, to the local domestic violence service program (DVSP) for emergency safety planning and enhanced service provision. This session will provide an overview of LAP and its implementation throughout the Commonwealth since 2015.

SUMMARY:No Buyers\, No Business: The Role of Demand in Sex Trafficking
DESCRIPTION:Sex trafficking occurs daily across Virginia\, with traffickers targeting individuals with vulnerabilities and exploiting them for profit. While much attention is rightly focused on traffickers and survivors\, far less is understood about the role of buyers in sustaining this system. Sex trafficking operates within a framework of supply and demand—without demand\, exploitation would not be profitable.\nThis presentation examines the critical role buyers play in perpetuating trafficking. It explores emerging insights into buyer behavior\, including patterns of coercion\, violence\, and abuse that directly contribute to victim harm. The session will also address strategies communities can implement to disrupt demand\, hold buyers accountable\, and reduce the conditions that allow trafficking to persist.

SUMMARY:Legacy Physical Security Is Outdated: The Evolution of Small Unmanned Aerial Systems
DESCRIPTION:This presentation examines how traditional physical security models—built around fixed perimeters\, access control\, and ground-based threats—are increasingly ineffective against the rapid evolution of small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS). It explores how commercially available drones have transformed the threat landscape by enabling low-cost\, highly adaptable aerial surveillance and strike capabilities that bypass conventional defenses. Drawing on recent operational examples and emerging trends\, the session highlights critical vulnerabilities across military installations\, critical infrastructure\, and domestic security environments.\nParticipants will gain insight into the operational characteristics of sUAS\, the gaps in current detection and response frameworks\, and the growing need for integrated counter-UAS (C-UAS) strategies. The presentation emphasizes layered defense approaches\, including sensor fusion\, electronic warfare considerations\, and interagency coordination\, to address these challenges.

SUMMARY:Proven Techniques to Increase Clearance Rates and Reduce Incidents of Violent Crime
DESCRIPTION:This block of instruction identifies common themes\, technical gaps\, and recommendations found across completed NFS and homicide reports across all National Public Safety Partnership (PSP) sites. The presentation will provide stakeholders with an understanding of the types of recommendations made to PSP sites through non-fatal shooting and homicide assessments. The presentation will identify common gaps in non-fatal shootings and homicide investigation capabilities and practices to strengthen investigative capacity.\nSome common findings and recommendations include:\n• Identifying the impact on investigations with delayed submission of evidence to the National Integrated Ballistic Information Network (NIBIN) for analysis.\n• Identifying proven requirements and establishing policies\, protocols\, and practices involving homicide and non-fatal shooting investigative practices.\n• Identifying the impact of designating investigators with specialized knowledge of and techniques involved with homicide and non-fatal shootings investigations.\n• Importance of partnering with federal law enforcement agencies to strengthen investigations.\n• Recognizing how investigator outreach to neighborhoods experiencing high rates of homicides and non-fatal shooting incidents can promote victim-witness safety and cooperation\, promote public safety\, and reduce fear and violence.

SUMMARY:Suicide Risk\, Violence Risk\, & Mental Health: A Complicated and Often Misunderstood Relationship
DESCRIPTION:Mental health problems are often linked to violence risk\, and mental health treatment to violence risk reduction. This formulation allows people with different perspectives to come together and pursue shared goals. However\, the rationale behind these linkages is based on both accurate and inaccurate appraisals of the nature of those associations. Productive policy and supportive responses to students in crisis or suspected of being at risk for violence will come from a solid understanding of the relationship between mental health problems and violence risk\; this presentation will provide information on the nature of that relationship. Audience members will then be challenged to consider the tensions and conflicts that may arise when navigating a landscape that involves real and perceived threats\, and shared obligations to individuals and the public safety.

SUMMARY:Engaging Leadership: Building Relationships and Resiliency to Overcome Adversity
DESCRIPTION:Engaging Leadership: Building Relationships and Resiliency to Overcome Adversity is a program that supports and inspires an organization’s members to go that extra step and connect with those people and places within their areas of influence\, and support resiliency within the organization and your personnel\, all while keeping an eye on the future and developing personnel to step up and take the reins when their time comes.\nPeople\, places\, the things they do\, and the times they do them. These simple benchmarks can help street officers know their beat and effectively police their areas of responsibility. They are also the same four points of focus that can help senior and executive level leaders guide their agencies in a manner that promotes professionalism\, attentiveness to the community\, and officer morale and resiliency.

SUMMARY:Neo-Nazis\, Swatting\, and Warning Behaviors: A Case Study in Teenage Radicalization
DESCRIPTION:In June of 2023\, a group proclaiming themselves as the Eurocell Swatting Group targeted Jewish\, LGBTQ\, and African American gathering centers via suicide hotlines and would threaten mass shootings and bombings. An extensive investigation involving the Federal Bureau of Investigation\, local law enforcement\, and the Anti-Defamation League revealed five subjects\, two of whom were juveniles living in California. During this process\, suspects exhibited multiple warning behaviors including identification\, fixation\, and pathway behaviors. We attempted to trace the path from what seems to be a “normal” existence\, down the rabbit hole of internet radicalization\, to committing hate crimes and showing all the threat signs of mass violence being their next step. Threat management language focusing on the pathway was utilized to obtain search warrants and other legal processes to begin enforcement before any kind of mass violence was perpetuated.\nThis presentation explores radicalization\, pathway behavior\, enforcement options\, and how to use threat management tools to prevent mass violence events.
