Domestic and International Terrorism (2-day workshop)

We live in an era where global economies, cultural beliefs, and deeply-engrained ideologies have combined to create clear and present dangers to our country and to the way of life of the world's citizens. It is vitally important to understand the components and workings of terrorist organizations and their potential effect on our future and us.

This course will present a comprehensive and understandable picture of the historical antecedents of current terrorists, present day threats to our society, and actions necessary to mitigate and prevent serious effects of terrorist events.

Anti-Terrorist Tool Kit (2-day workshop)
This course addresses steps and actions necessary to insure maximum safety to personnel and minimal loss of property after a terrorist event occurs. Participants will learn standard operating procedures to assist emergency responders to prevent greater loss. Incident command structures, data and other required information, psychological effects on personnel, expectations from emergency services personnel, training and educational drills, minimizing loss prevention, and reducing litigious actions will be covered.

Human Trafficking
Human trafficking is modern-day slave trading. In fact, the slave trade today is more global and greater in sheer numbers than the African slave trade during the 1700s and 1800s. Traffickers use violence, coercion, and deception to take people away from their homes and families. Whether trafficked within or between countries, people are used as domestic workers, prostitutes, manual laborers, factory workers, soldiers, sex slaves, and for body parts and organs.

The purpose of this course is to provide the student with a comprehensive understanding of global human trafficking. We will examine causes and costs, as well as political and other means of reducing the problem. Students will learn ways to personally impact this world-wide disgrace and disregard for human dignity.

Transnational Drug Smuggling
The "War on Drugs" is still raging and has been since before the Civil War. We seem to win many battles but make questionable headway in the overall war. We will take a microscopic view of the legal-moral, social-behavioral, and medical-psychiatric elements of this pervasive problem and see the roles that prevention, treatment, and enforcement entities play.

The purpose of this course is threefold:

to understand the size and scope of the $400 billion transnational drug smuggling problem
to understand the production, supply, and demand of drugs smuggled
to learn about successes and failures of worldwide prevention and eradication policies and techniques.
