Winter 2011-12 In-Service Course Catalog
For a variety of reasons, listening and memory are very much misunderstood as learnable
skills. To see, to hear, and to remember seems like a simple formula, but really it is much
more complex. This 8 hour course will assist officers recall information, and improve their
memory and listening skills.
Systems introduced and practiced will first use mnemonics for object recall, and eventually
involve family and police related subject areas, such as names, license plates, and variable
numbers. General orders, elements of offenses and offenses will be included.
For anyone who as ever wanted to improve both their long term and short term memory, or
wants to be a better listener, research demonstrates that it is never too late to acquire some
new habits with systems that make it much easier.
Officers will be introduced to the following systems in a self-taught, fun, interactive
environment by two experienced communications facilitators:
- Association systems
- Tab systems
- Linking systems
- Chunking systems
- Loci technique
Instructors are Mr. Jim Zalud, Communications consultant; and Chief Pat Solar, Genoa P.D.
(Retired). They currently are teaching a companion communication skills course known as
"Cues & Clues for Improving Communication".
This comprehensive, two-day law enforcement surveillance course will address all phases of
the physical surveillance process, with an emphasis on the safe and efficient application of
best practices.
The course will address technical, legal and operational issues. It includes a dynamic, full
day exercise with multiple targets. Participants will perform surveillance in a number of
evolutions throughout the city, on foot and in vehicles.
In addition to the usual personal gear, participants should have a “neck chain” style holder
for their badge, and are encouraged to bring appropriate video and digital photography
equipment. We will operate regardless of weather conditions, so participants should dress
appropriately for the mission and conditions.
This class will be taught by Investigator John Mack, Illinois State Police.
