On behalf of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and FBI Honolulu Division, we want to
welcome you to Honolulu, Hawaii, and extend you best wishes and a warm “aloha!” We
appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedules to participate in the INtel and Law
Enforcement Training Seminar (INLETS). This seminar is hosted by the FBI, the Hawaii State
Fusion Center, and InfraGard, a non-proOit organization.
Our team members have put together a seminar we believe will be insightful, innovative
and topical, and we fully expect INLETS will provide a valuable learning and collaborative
experience for each of you. As Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Honolulu Division, I am
honored to be afOiliated with this seminar and to continue to promote this program. The INLETS
program’s success is directly related to the continuing participation, professionalism,
collaboration, and high standards of excellence set by its participants.
Thank you, as well, to the hardworking teams, individuals, and sponsors who have
dedicated their time in promoting this year’s training session.
Again, we hope you will enjoy the INLETS seminar and our beautiful city and state!

ALOHA!
On behalf of the INLETS Planning Team, welcome to the Hawaiian Islands INLETS:
Violent Crimes & Terrorism Trends. Your planning team comes from the FBI Field Offices
in Washington, DC and Baltimore, MD, the Maryland Coordination & Analysis Center
(MCAC, the state fusion center), and the local chapters of InfraGard: InfraGard Maryland
and Infragard National Capital Region - the host & fiduciary of this training platform.
This seminar is for you. You represent the local and state first responders, federal and
military entities, and stake-holder organizations who protect our communities.
In 2011, the FBI was scheduled to host the first-ever FBI profiler-led seminar in the
Washington, DC-area. Just weeks before it was to begin, the seminar was nearly cancelled
because the Federal government rescinded budgets. InfraGard Maryland and the MCAC
recognized the potential positive impact for local law enforcement and each provided the
financial support and resources to ensure the training would occur.
After reading the overwhelming surveys, emails, and notes from attendees, the INtel & Law
Enforcement Training Seminar (INLETS) was created in that original design. In 2014,
the InfraGard National Capital Region Members Alliance (InfraGardNCR) became our
fiduciary. InfraGardNCR’s vision helped make this training expand to other regions.
In the past six years, roughly 5,000 attendees representing 500 agencies, 250 companies,
16 different InfraGard chapters from over 30 states and across four-time zones, including
five foreign countries, have participated in either a five-day seminar, “A Day on the
INLETS” (a one-day theme-focused program), or a single topic, lunch-time lecture we call a
“Brown Bag Briefing.” These programs have now been provided in seven states.
The planning team wishes to acknowledge American Military University, a Sustaining
Partner, for their continued and strong support of the INLETS program.
The planning team also extends their gratitude to Ed Arias, FBI Special Agent assigned to
the Honolulu field office, for his depth of knowledge and appreciation of Hawaiian history;
Dolores (Dee)Cook, for her dedication to Hawaii’s fusion center and the first responder
community; Paul Epstein, for his leadership and commitment to the Hawaii State Fusion
Center, and Russell Seeney, President of InfraGard Hawaii, a leader in furthering the
relationship between the private sector and the law enforcement community. Without their
support, this program would not have been possible.
WE WELCOME YOU TO HONOLULU. AND TO THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS INLETS.

On The INLETS:
in·let noun (ˈin-let)
1. A stream or bay leading inland, as from the ocean; an
estuary.
2. A connection between a bay and the ocean; often called
an "entrance" or a recession in the shore of a sea, lake or
river.
3. An opening providing a means of entrance or intake.
On The INLETS (INtel & Law Enforcement Training Seminar) is a collaborative training program connecting
those charged with protecting our communities with the instruction to help them do so.
The singular focus is to further develop and support the analytical and investigative capability of law
enforcement and private sector stakeholders in the greater National Capital Region and beyond.
Designed by components from the FBI field offices in Washington, DC and Baltimore, InfraGard, and the
Maryland Coordination and Analysis Center (MCAC), the training topics are selected based on innovative
investigative techniques, current threats, emerging trends to the region, surveys, and specific requests. The
program, which offers In-service and continuing education units, is presented by subject matter experts from
all levels of government and the private sector.
Originally established with the InfraGard Maryland Members Alliance, INLETS is now led by the InfraGard
National Capital Region Members Alliance (InfraGardNCR). Because of their leadership in hosting the program,
it is not dependent on federal funding. INLETS is offered in three formats, available to all interested law
enforcement, defense and intelligence entities, and InfraGard members who are security/risk professionals.
A Day on the INLETS
An eight hour block of instruction composed of various presentations on pertinent, parallel topics. Hosted by
InfraGard chapters throughout the Mid-Atlantic region, this day of instruction is provided quarterly. Venues
have stretched from Quantico, VA, southern and western Maryland, to Wilmington, Delaware and southern New
Jersey. Bringing the instruction to various geographic regions minimizes the financial and travel impact on the
attendees and further strengthens liaison and attendance with our partners - both private and public sectors,
across state lines.
The Annual Seminar on Violent Crimes & Terrorism Trends
Held during the last week in June, in Annapolis, Maryland, the seminar offers a bevy of timely topics in three
formats of instruction: General sessions; focused presentation topics led by subject matter experts and offering
comprehensive overviews of current topics; and workshops, which provide an in-depth study of a single topic
over multiple days.
The INLETS Planning Team consists of FBI Washington, DC and Baltimore field office Special Agents (who serve
as Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) Coordinators and InfraGard Coordinators), InfraGard members from the
Maryland and National Capital Region chapters, and the MCAC’s External Relations Branch. InfraGardNCR also
serves as the fiduciary for INLETS.

A WORD ABOUT OUR SPONSORS:
InfraGard National Capital Region Members Alliance (InfraGardNCR) is
proud to host the INLETS program.
How does their hosting impact the program? InfraGardNCR oversees
the logistics and financial responsibilities, which means the program is
not affected by federal budgetary constraints.
They host INLETS to ensure that this quality training is available
regardless of federal fiscal challenges and police training budgets, which
are often very limited.
InfraGardNCR and our private sector partners, led by American Military
University, as business entities, recognize and support your role in
protecting our communities through the products and services they
provide.
They also realize the challenges you face in obtaining quality training. So they support programs like this
where they financially contribute to defray costs, dramatically lowering the registration fee and enabling
you, our front line investigators, analysts and security professionals to attend INLETS training at the
lowest possible cost.
As a result, InfraGardNCR and the sponsoring partners listed below ensure attendees will hear from
subject matter experts on relevant, timely topics in a professional setting at the most affordable cost
compared to any training program. INLETS connects you to liaisons in the private sector and the law
enforcement, intelligence and defense communities. It also provides you tools and resources to assist
you both professionally and personally. We are grateful for their continued support.
Please make an opportunity to meet and thank those who have made this week possible.

... THE MULTI-DAY WORKSHOPS (CON’T.)
Stalking and Workplace Violence to Sole-Actor Terrorism: Enhancing
Behavioral Threat Management Systems for Identifying, Assessing &
Managing Targeted Violence
Cari Robins, Supervisory Special Agent
FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit
Gene Diesinger, PhD
Partner, Sigma Threat Management
This workshop will present the most recent stalking research, trends and typologies while discussing recent stalking
cases. The presentation will discuss investigative, interviewing, and prosecutorial concepts and techniques.
Critical incidents, in a variety of settings (schools, campuses, workplaces, houses of worship, etc.) have raised concerns
about both the safety of those settings and the communities in which those settings exist. Law enforcement agencies
have worked diligently to enhance capabilities to respond to situations involving active, ongoing acts of violence.
These behaviors may range from tactics of bullying and intimidation, to stalking and harassment, to acts of violence
that devastate a campus, workplace, family, or community.
This session will provide participants with a working understanding of issues related to targeted violence,
implementing a multi-disciplinary and systematic approach to assessment and management of cases, conducting
contextually based assessment of cases, developing integrated intervention and case management strategies, and
increasing engagement in the safety and well-being of their community.

In 2014, at the 4th annual Mid-Atlantic
INLETS, we added a sponsor table
called “Coffee & Conversation.”
Manned with a couple of volunteers, it
wasn’t Billy Graham and it wasn’t
Frasier Crane.
It was simply folks who were trained
listeners. A casual touch-point for attendees who were looking for a recommendation for a
place to eat, to share an idea, or to have a quiet conversation.
This year there has been a lot of national media scrutiny of law enforcement and our agenda
discusses significant life threatening and life changing moments; for fellow officers and for
innocent victims. So, we again have volunteers, who are trained listeners, available for
“coffee and conversation.”
Why?
Dean Scoville wrote in Police Magazine’s Police and PTSD, that “In the wake of a traumatic
incident, it is not uncommon for law enforcement officers to be plagued by insomnia, fatigue,
loss of appetite, recurring thoughts and nightmares, anxiety, depression, numbness, or fear
for their own safety. Worse, inability to maintain intimacy with their loved ones or increased
feelings of guilt can lead to severe depression or even suicidal thoughts.”
James Genovese, in an article titled Alcoholism Among Law Enforcement Personnel: Its
Unique Challenges, writes, “Alcohol abuse… afflicts one-quarter of all police officers in the
US. Research has revealed a strong connection between occupational stress and alcohol
and drug abuse. Alcohol consumption among police officers is also correlated with officer
suicides and domestic violence.”
The Badge of Life study of police suicides by Ron Clark and Andy O’Hara reports in 2012
there were 126 police suicides. These victims were approximately 42 years of age and had
16 years on the job. 11% of them were also military veterans.
These volunteers are here for you, because you are there for the rest of us.

Major Case Management: High-ProOile Crimes and Homicide
Jay King, Detective,
Los Angeles Police Department
From active shooters and mass casualty events to civil disobedience and assaults on ofOicers, law
enforcement agencies nationwide continue to evolve to address the ever increasing, operational
demands placed upon them. However, gaining control of the chaos and restoring order is only the
beginning. The ability of investigators to identify and capture those responsible, and present an
organized, comprehensive work product to prosecutors can be a demanding and often prolonged
endeavor. This presentation will provide an overview of a compartmentalized method of case management that is
routinely employed by the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), Robbery-Homicide Division (RHD) to investigate
some of the largest and most complex incidents that occur in the City each year.

Major Case Management: Sexual Assault
Jay King, LAPD, leads a case study that began in the early morning hours of March 27, 2013, where a 10-
year-old girl vanished from her home in Northridge, CA. The LAPD deployed over 50 detectives on a 24-
hour basis, identiOied the primary suspect, arrested his accomplice, located three crimes scenes and two
vehicles, recovered crucial evidence, and followed leads to San Diego where they learned the suspect had

It is es'mated that over 80% of our na'on’s cri'cal infrastructure is privately owned. The federal
government alone cannot protect all these assets. It requires coordinated ac'on from numerous
stakeholders including federal, state, and local government, private sector companies and organiza'ons,
federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement, academia, and concerned ci'zens. InfraGard serves as the
cri'cal link to connect infrastructure owners and operators with the en''es that strive to protect those
assets from a myriad of threats, both naturally occurring and man-made.
InfraGard is its own 501(c)(3) non-profit with a very unique rela'onship with the FBI. Started twenty years
ago as a means to engage and connect private sector subject maOer experts with FBI special agents and
analysts, it has grown to a member-based organiza'on of over 50,000 individuals represen'ng all 16 cri'cal
infrastructure sectors and in posi'ons from the “boots on the ground” to the “C-Suite.” Organized by
individual member alliances (IMAs or chapters) each of the 84 IMAs is linked to an FBI field office. Through
informa'on sharing and exchange, 'mely informa'on and intelligence is delivered, inves'ga'ons are
ini'ated and/or enhanced, vital economic and na'onal security assets are protected, and las'ng
rela'onships are formed between law enforcement and infrastructure owners/operators.
One of the chapters, the InfraGard Na'onal Capital Region Members Alliance (InfraGardNCR), represents
more than 2,500 individuals in the metropolitan Washington, DC area. It is through their leadership and
fiduciary stewardship that INLETS has grown and con'nues to be independent of government funding.
In addi'onal to InfraGardNCR, InfraGard Maryland representa'ves have key roles on the INLETS planning
team and add more private sector perspec've to the INLETS programming efforts.
Lastly, as INLETS has grown outside the Washington, DC area, InfraGardNCR and the INLETS planning team
have coordinated their efforts to ensure the local InfraGard chapter is a vested partner in the training
program.
Here in Honolulu, the InfraGard Hawaii Members Alliance has joined the Hawaii State Fusion Center and the
FBI Honolulu office to mirror the east coast partnership of FBI, fusion center, and InfraGard.
This series of training programs, designed to enhance and support the analy'cal and inves'ga've
capabili'es of law enforcement and private sector stakeholders, is an example of the successes an effec've
public/private partnership can have, ensuring our na'on’s first responders have the tools and training they
need to beOer protect our country.

Fusion centers across the country are information sharing centers, jointly
created and funded under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the
Office of Justice Programs in the U.S. Department of Justice. The centers are
designed to promote information sharing between agencies such as the FBI
and Department of Defense as well as state, local, territorial and tribal
governments. They provide analysis that supports the efforts of state and local
law enforcement agencies to prevent and investigate crime in their local
communities and address the most pressing national challenges, such as
gangs, border violence, narcotics, homicides and terrorism.
The Hawaii State Fusion Center (HSFC) includes federal, state, local,
territorial, and private sector partners who are committed to sharing actionable
intelligence for the safety and security of Hawaii and the nation.
HSFC is structured to empower front-line law enforcement, public safety, fire
service, emergency response, public health, critical infrastructure protection,
and private sector security personnel to understand local implications of
national intelligence, thus enabling local officials to better protect their
communities. In addition, the HSFC directly supports territorial partner
American Samoa and coordinates with the Guam-based Marianas Regional
Fusion Center, the sole Asia-Pacific regional fusion center partner.
HSFC is proud to partner with the FBI’s Honolulu office and the InfraGard
Hawaii Members Alliance to bring the INLETS program to our first responder
and private sector stakeholder community. It is through these partnerships that
we, collectively, better protect our communities, our state’s infrastructure and
assets, and strengthen our nation as a whole.
This training program, designed to enhance and support the analytical and
investigative capabilities of law enforcement and private sector stakeholders, is
an example of the success effective public/private partnerships can have,
ensuring our nation’s first responders have the tools and training they need to
better protect our country.

WHAT YOU CAN LEARN FROM INLETS
American Military University (AMU) is very proud to support the Hawaiian
Islands INLETS. The educational sessions and workshops you will attend
this week provide a unique opportunity to learn from fellow officers around
the nation and the globe. We support this event because we believe the
high-quality education offered during INLETS will help better prepare our
nation’s law enforcement agencies for responding to terrorism and violent
crimes.
As a university, we encourage you to take advantage of the many learning
opportunities throughout the week. Learning happens in many places
outside the classroom too and one of the best ways to learn is through the
experience of others.
As you listen to presentations by national and international law enforcement
officers, consider how these events apply to you and your agency. Ask
yourself these questions:
• What can you take away from each session to help you and your
agency be better prepared?
• What lessons have others learned that can be applied to your job?
• What mistakes did other agencies make and how can you and your
agency avoid making similar ones?
• How can you share your INLETS experience and knowledge with
colleagues?
Terrorism and violent crimes know no boundaries. None of us can predict
the next tragedy, but we can be better prepared. Your attendance at this
conference is just one more step toward preparedness.
AMU thanks you for your tireless work to protect our communities and our
nation and we encourage you to never stop learning.

Hollywood has emulated and imitated the BAU
for decades, both the big screen and the silver
screen have portrayed agents and the history of
the program with flare and fandom.
National Center for the
Analysis of Violent Crime
The primary mission of the National
Center for the Analysis of Violent
Crime (NCAVC) is to provide
behavioral-based investigative
support to law enforcement involved
in the investigation of unusual or
repetitive violent crimes, threats,
terrorism, cyber crimes, public
corruption, and other matters.
The NCAVC consists of five units:

Established by the Department
of Justice in 1985, the Violent
C r i m i n a l A p p r e h e n s i o n
Program (ViCAP) serves as the
national repository for violent
crimes; speciOically homicides,
sexual assaults, missing
persons, and unidentiOied human remains. Comprehensive case
information submitted to ViCAP is maintained in the national
database and automatically compared to all other cases in the
database to identify similarities. Individual case submissions are
analyzed by crime analysts through the application of analytical
skills, education, specialized training, and research.
The primary mission of the ViCAP is to provide criminal
investigative and analytical support to federal, state, and local
law enforcement agencies. This support includes the collection
and examination of case information, multi-agency coordination,
and the creation of analytical products. One of the cornerstones
of the program is the continued development and maintenance of
ViCAP Web, the nationwide investigative database of homicides,
sexual assaults, missing persons, and unidentiOied human
remains. ViCAP Web collects information regarding the following
types of crimes, whether or not the offender has been arrested or
identiOied:
● Homicides (and attempts), especially those that involve an
abductions are apparently random, motiveless, or sexually
oriented, or are known or suspected to be part of a series.
● Sexual Assaults, especially those committed by a stranger,
or those known or suspected to be part of a series.
● Missing Persons where the circumstances indicate a strong
possibility of foul play and the victim is still missing.
● UnidentiOied Human Remains where the manner of death is
known or suspected to be homicide.

Violent Criminal Apprehension Program
The Highway Serial Killings Initiative
If there is such a thing as an ideal profession for a serial killer, it may well be as a long-haul truck
driver.
FBI Crime Analyst Christie Palazzolo is quick to point out that long-haul trucking is an honorable
profession and that the overwhelming majority of drivers are not murderers—but it does happen, and
the pattern is unmistakable.
More than a decade ago, analysts for the FBI’s Violent Criminal Apprehension Program (ViCAP)—
the only national database of serial crimes—began to see a marked increase in the number of bodies
recovered along the side of the road. A majority of the victims were truck-stop prostitutes, and it
turned out that many of the suspects were long-haul truckers. “We had an inordinate number of
victims and offenders from this rather specific population pool,” Palazzolo explained.
To make matters worse, these cases are extremely difficult to investigate. A long-haul driver can pick
up a prostitute at a truck stop in Georgia, rape and murder her, and dump her body on the side of the
road in Florida later that day. The victim has no connection to the area where she was found, and
there may be no forensic evidence to collect because the crime was committed hundreds of miles
away. The local police detectives investigating the case might have little experience dealing with a
crime of this nature and may be faced with few, if any, leads.
Since the Highway Serial Killings Initiative began in 2004, ViCAP analysts have compiled a list of more than
750 murder victims found along or near U.S. highways, as well as nearly 450 potential suspects.

The Office
for Victim Assistance (OVA) is to ensure that

afforded the opportunity to
receive notification and
services as required by
F e d e r a l l a w a n d t h e
A t t o r n e y G e n e r a l
Guidelines on Victim and
Witness Assistance. The FBI
is committed to ensuring
that victims are notified of
the rights to which they are
entitled and the assistance to help them cope with
the impact of crime.
Victim Specialists work in FBI Field Offices around the
country providing assistance to those who have
suffered physical, emotional and/or financial harm as
a result of a Federal crime. The OVA is also
comprised of: Terrorism and Special Jurisdiction
Victim Assistance Unit; Child Pornography Victim
Assistance Program; Child/Adolescent Forensic
Interviewing Program; Victim Assistance Program
Specialist Staff; Victim Notification System
Coordinator; and, Victim Assistance Rapid
Deployment Teams.
The OVA is directly responsible for several special
programs:
• The Terrorism and Special Jurisdictions program provides
emergency assistance to injured victims and families of
victims murdered in terrorist attacks within the U.S. and
outside the country and serves as a permanent point-of-
contact for terrorism victims within the FBI.
• The Child Pornography Victim Assistance program
coordinates assistance and notification services for child
victims of pornography and their guardians.
• The Forensic Child Interviewing Program ensures that
investigative interviews of child victims and witnesses of
federal crimes are tailored to the child's stage of
development and minimize any additional trauma to the
child. FBI child interview specialists directly assist with
some interviews and provide detailed training to special
agents and other law enforcement personnel on child
interviewing.
• The Field Office Victim Assistance Program places victim
specialists in FBI field offices across the country to
personally assist victims of federal crimes investigated by
the division or field office where they work.
• The Victim Notification System—available in both English
and Spanish—is an automated system that provides
victims with information about their cases.

FBI BAU-3:
CRIMES AGAINST CHILDREN
It is the mission of the FBI’s Violent Crimes Against Children program
to provide a quick and effective response to all incidents of crimes
against children. The first few hours after a child is abducted are
critical, and that is why we established Child Abduction Rapid
Deployment (CARD) Teams in October 2005.
CARD Teams are designed to deploy teams of experienced personnel
to provide on-the-ground investigative, technical, and resource
assistance to state and local law enforcement. CARD Teams consist
of Violent Crimes Against Children investigators who have in-depth
experience in child abduction cases. The nationwide CARD Team
consists of more than 60 members, with five teams serving each region of the country. The teams work
closely with FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit representatives, National Center for the Analysis of Violent Crime
coordinators, and Child Exploitation Task Force members.
In addition to their unique expertise, CARD Teams are capable of quickly
establishing an on-site command post to centralize investigative efforts and
operations. Other assets they bring to the table include a new mapping tool
to identify and locate registered sex offenders in the area, national and
international lead coverage, and the Child Abduction Response Plan to
guide investigative efforts.
CARD Teams are primarily involved in non-family child abductions, ransom
child abductions, and mysterious disappearances of children. They work
with state and local law enforcement to protect and save the lives of
innocent children.
