Presenter:
Dr. Brian Lovins -
Principal - Justice System Partners
Past President - APPA
Description:
Probation and parole departments across the country are faced with many tough decisions. One debatable and recurring topic of discussion is about whether officers should carry firearms while at work. In some jurisdictions, officers are expected to carry weapons. In others, officers have a choice whether to carry; and then there are agencies that do not allow officers to carry while at work. During this sit-down conversation, chiefs, probation and parole staff, and individuals on supervision will talk about the pros and cons of arming staff. Attendees will be encouraged to participate in the discussion.

Presenter:
Dr. Rafael Ventura, III, Deputy Probation Officer II - Los Angeles County Probation
Description:
Most everyone will say it takes a village to raise a child or strengthen a community, but what does that actually mean in practice and how do we embrace this thinking in our community corrections systems? In this pre-recorded, OnDemand webinar, participants will learn the evolving theology implemented in the Los Angeles County Probations Department - TRI Academy - Secure Youth Treatment Facilities program. This session will discuss collaboration, restorative justice practices, critical pedagogy, education, caring ethics, and cultural relevance. It will address as a theology a methodology for systems change and reform. This session can be either run as a one hour in person session, a 90 minute in person session, or a 4 hour intensive. Depending on the selection, it may or may not have partners included in the discussion that can validate the evolving theology.

Presenter:
Sheila Kembel, District School Safety Manager - Lake Washington School District
Description:
It is impossible to imagine sitting down to engage in conversation with the person responsible for the death of a loved one, let alone forgive them. During this pre-recorded, OnDemand webinar, attendees will witness a true story of the power of forgiveness, accepting responsibility and how lives can be changed through the process of Victim Offender Mediation. You will also hear about the real challenges that come as a result of the process, which may last a lifetime. It is never easy to confront tragedy face to face, but it is even harder to never have the opportunity to gain insight and clarity allowing the process of healing to begin.
This presentation will allow you to hear Sheila’s story and the path she took to engage with the person responsible for the death of her mother, to find a different vision of what could happen for both of them, and, to turn tragedy into hope and anger into forgiveness.
Purchase $30 ON-DEMAND
Presenter:
Katie Meyer, CAIS/JAIS Program Manager - Evident Change
Jeff Morino, Program Associate III - Evident Change
Simone Sawyer, Program Associate III - Evident Change
Description:
In this pre-recorded, On-Demand webinar, participants will be guided to identify motivating factors for criminal behavior and incorporate the individual’s strengths and needs into intervention strategies. Through interactive case studies, participants will explore different scenarios for individuals charged with similar offenses, sharing suggestions for interventions within their small group and with the larger group. The session will also offer guidance on collaborative case planning and a balance between focusing on reducing recidivism and fostering desistance. Overall, the workshop will equip participants with a holistic approach to supervision, challenging conventional notions and fostering critical thinking for more effective intervention strategies.
