GREETINGS,
On behalf of the Planning Team, welcome to the 7th Annual Mid-Atlantic INLETS:
Violent Crimes & Terrorism Trends. Your planning team comes from the FBI Field
Offices in Washington, DC and Baltimore, 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 of this training platform.
This seminar is for you. You represent more than 200 local, state, federal, military, first
response, law enforcement and stake-holder agencies and organizations comprised of
Investigators, analysts and security/risk professionals with an average of 15 years of
experience.
In 2011, the FBI was scheduled to host the first-ever FBI profiler-led seminar in this
region. Just weeks before it was to begin, the Federal government rescinded budgets and
the seminar was going to be cancelled. InfraGard Maryland and MCAC recognized the
potential positive impact for local law enforcement and both provided the financial
support and resources to ensure the training would occur. After reading the surveys,
emails, and notes from attendees, the Mid-Atlantic INtelligence & Law Enforcement
Training Seminar was created. Since then, the InfraGard National Capital Region
Members Alliance (InfraGardNCR) has taken the lead as our host with the support of the
Maryland chapter. Without InfraGardNCR, this training would not be possible.
In the past 6 years, roughly 5,000 attendees representing 500 agencies, 250 companies,
and 15 different InfraGard chapters from 32 states and across three time zones have
participated in the annual seminar, “A Day on the INLETS” (a one-day threat-focused
program), or a single topic lunch-time lecture we call a “Brown Bag Briefing.” We have
provided these programs in six states.
We want to acknowledge American Military University, our Sustaining Partner, for
their strong support of the INLETS program.
The planning team extends our gratitude to Kristina Tanasichuk, David Engel, and
Jennifer Gant for their leadership, vision, and support.
WE WELCOME YOU TO ANNAPOLIS. AND TO THE MID-ATLANTIC 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.
The Mid-Atlantic INLETS (INtelligence & 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, the 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 Mid-Atlantic 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 treasurer.

WHAT YOU CAN LEARN FROM INLETS
American Military University (AMU) is very proud to support The Mid-
Atlantic 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 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 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 avoid making
similar ones?
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.

A WORD ABOUT OUR SPONSORS:
InfraGard National Capital Region Members Alliance is proud to host The
Mid-Atlantic INLETS.
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 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 and others, already recognize and support your role in
protecting our communities in the products and services they provide to
your agencies and organizations. They also realize the challenges you
face in obtaining quality training and 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.
As a result, InfraGardNCR with support of InfraGard Maryland, and the sponsoring partners listed below
ensure attendees will hear from subject matter experts on relevant, timely topics in a professional setting
at an affordable cost. It 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 with those who have made this week possible.

the late rock musician Chris Cornell, who was stalked for over ten years by subject Jessica Robbins. Robbins
later became the subject of a nationwide fugitive manhunt and was ultimately arrested twice by the FBI.
Wednesday & Thursday:
Gene Deisinger, Ph.D.
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,

Joy Lynn Shelton presents on Maternal neonaticide, the murder of a newborn by his or her mother, highlight the

crazy,” can contribute to a general misconception about mothers and this type of crime. Neonaticide investigations
present complex psychological and social dynamics and investigators must give attention to factors not even

behaviors, and investigative/interview considerations as a result of the FBI BAU’s research and operational
experience in neonaticide investigations.

THE OFFICIAL UNOFFICIAL 5 O’CLOCK SOMEWHERE | 6:00PM
(SEE AD ON PREVIOUS PAGE)

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.

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; speciZically homicides,
sexual assaults, missing
persons, and unidentiZied 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 unidentiZied human
remains. ViCAP Web collects information regarding the following
types of crimes, whether or not the offender has been arrested or
identiZied:
● 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.
● UnidentiZied Human Remains where the manner of death is
known or suspected to be homicide.

Major Case Management: High-ProZile Crimes and Homicide
Jay King, Detective, LAPD
From active shooters and mass casualty events to civil disobedience and assaults on ofZicers, 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.

It is es2mated that 80 – 90% of our na2on’s cri2cal infrastructure is privately owned. The federal
government alone cannot accomplish protec2ng these assets. It requires coordinated ac2on from
numerous stakeholders – including government, the private sector, law enforcement, academia,
and concerned ci2zens. InfraGard serves as the cri2cal link to connect infrastructure owners and
operators with the en22es that strive to protect those assets.
The InfraGard program is a collabora2ve effort between the FBI and stakeholders in both the
public and private sectors who share a common goal of protec2ng the na2on’s cri2cal

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 victims of crimes investigated by the
FBI are afforded the opportunity to receive
n o t i f i c a t i o n 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.

agencies, and be accessible in one centralized location.
Along with these great resources being located in one
centralized location, authorized users will be able to gain
access by logging in using a single sign-on process—using
one username and one password for many different resources
and services within the LEEP.
Here are a few examples of the services on the LEEP:
▪ Virtual Command Center/Special Interest Group (VCC/SIG)
▪ National Data Exchange (N-DEx)
▪ Intelink
▪ Regional Information Sharing Systems Network (RISSNET)
▪ National Gang Intelligence Center
▪ Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3)
▪ Malware Investigator
▪ eGuardian
▪ Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted (LEOKA)
▪ Repository for Individuals of Special Concern (RISC)
For more information on the LEEP or to find out how to become a Service Provider (an
agency that provides a service/resource to the LEEP) or Identity Provider (an agency that
partners with the LEEP, which give their users easier access to the LEEP resources), please
contact the FBI Support Center, available 24/7 to answer any questions.
