DOCUMENT FRAUD FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS
This course will assist law enforcement (Patrol Officers as well as Detectives)
with training that will enhance their ability to recognize and identify the universe
of identity-related documents issued by and relied upon by the MVC and the
factors that motivate fraudsters. With emerging technology it has become
increasingly difficult to identify fraudulent documents. Students will learn what
tools are available to assist them in identifying counterfeit documents by
providing “hands on” training and experience in the recognition of fraud as it
pertains to documents such as: driver licenses, green cards, passports, birth
certificates and social security cards. Participants will learn the newest trends in
counterfeiting of drivers licenses by “on-line” manufacturers, which has
becoming increasingly common due to the ease in obtaining access to
technologies. This course will also review counterfeit as well as genuine NJ
inspection stickers, temporary registrations and certificates of title.
In addition, this class will review facial recognition technology as it is used by the
Motor Vehicle Commission on all images captured as well as the process that is
used with the submission of a photo for a “manual upload”. This course will
inform students of a cutting edge investigative tool available at the New Jersey
Regional Operations Intelligence Center (ROIC). Known as the “Facial
Recognition Initiative”, this technology utilizes the Photo Imaging Mugshot
System maintained in the New York/New Jersey “HIDTA” program. The repository
consists of images from arrested individuals submitted by various law
enforcement agencies from New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. Currently,
MVC staff highly trained in the field of facial recognition has been assigned to
the ROIC to assist in this endeavor. Along with the instruction, the students will
receive reference material to assist in investigations.

SEMINAR ON ADVANCED CRIMINAL
INTERVIEW & INTERROGATION TECHNIQUES
The purpose of the WZ Seminar on Advanced Criminal Interview &
Interrogation Techniques is to offer participants, who have attended an
introductory interview and interrogation course, the opportunity to further
enhance their techniques.
Participants will obtain training in the latest and most powerful advanced
interview and interrogation techniques. This seminar utilizes practical
exercises, using underlying psychological principals to improve your ability
to obtain legally acceptable confessions.
This seminar allows participants to work through actual case studies
applying multiple interview and interrogation, including Positive
Confrontation, Behavior Analysis Interview, Cognitive Interviewing,
Enticement Questions, Factual Accusations and the WZ Non-

achieved without the suspect ever making a denial or protesting his
innocence.
The seminar participant will review and practice reading of verbal and
non-verbal behavior to become more effective at obtaining admissions in
homicide cases. The course includes a comprehensive overview of a
variety of non-confrontational interview and interrogation techniques to
overcome the resistance of a capital offense suspect.

Standardization Training
November 14-18, 2016
Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office Training Center
Background: Please allow this communiqué to refresh the training components
of this standardization undertaking. I have fielded several questions from agency
executives as well as their respective training coordinators. To adequately train
at the “train the trainer” level the student to instructor ratio must remain
manageable. This initial standardization is slotted for one (1) officer from each
member agency. This brings the class size to thirty (30), which is relatively large
for a Senior (Train the Trainer) level course that covers two separate and distinct
curriculums and an additional Oleoresin Capsicum (OC) Instructor Course.
I am aware of the need for many agencies to add more than the additional
one (1) Senior Instructor, this same of course of instruction will be offered multiple
times in 2017 to accommodate each agencies training needs. I ask for your
patience and understanding as this project takes foothold and we begin the
building blocks of training success. Rest assured that all member agencies will
have their training cadre’s filled with enough Senior Level Instructors. I have
planned to run this course as many times as necessary to fill each agency’s
needs.
Please select and schedule the best candidate for this extensive training week
as the final product will be the model for your officers/students.
Please remember that once your officer successfully completes this training
seminar; he/she will be able to certify as many instructors as your agency
requires in both the Monadnock Expandable Baton Course (MEB) and the
Monadnock Defensive Tactics Course (MDTS).
If there are any further questions please contact me direct at (732) 803-7923.

THROUGH NJ LEARN
BLOODBORNE PATHOGENS
The following Bloodborne Pathogens Training meets the Federal Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030, which was
adopted by the New Jersey State Public Employees Occupational Safety and
Health (PEOSH) Program. Training must be provided at the time of the
emergency responder’s initial employment and at least annually thereafter.
The standard requires that emergency responders have access to a qualified
trainer while taking on-line training to allow for interactive questions and
answers, if needed. This requirement can be met via telephone contact or
through email only if the trainer is available to answer emailed questions at the
time the questions arise (e.g., live chat). It is the responsibility of each
department’s/agency’s chief executive to provide their members with the
name, contact information and work hours of the qualified trainer designated to
assist with any questions.
The standard also requires that emergency responders are provided with an
explanation of the department’s/agency’s written exposure control plan, as well
as the means by which members can obtain a written copy. It is the
responsibility of each department’s/agency’s chief executive to provide this
information to its members. It is critical that each emergency responder knows
what to do in the event of an exposure and to be able to articulate their
department’s/agency’s exposure control plan.
If the emergency responder has questions relating to any training or
modifications made to existing procedures, they should consult with their
designated qualified trainer, supervisor, and/or appropriate legal advisor.
