The training presentation “Elements of Crime Patterns” challenges you to critically think about what you know a crime pattern to be and how you know it. The history of attempts to gather qualitative modus operandi information is briefly explored and details of the elements of crime patterns are provided.
Deborah Osborne, a former crime analyst with the Buffalo Police Department and retired investigative analyst with the US Secret Service is the presenter. She self-published the book “Elements of Crime Patterns” in 2023.
We are excited to announce the evolution of the Drone as First Responder (DFR) paradigm. Following the incredible success of the INTERPOL Drone Expert Summit held in Chula Vista last year, we have taken the DFR concept one step further.
Introducing DFR^2 – Drone as First Responder and Drone for First Responder. These two functions are set to revolutionize the way emergency services operate with drones.
DFR^2 opens up new possibilities for using drones in emergency situations. With the Drone as First Responder function, drones can quickly and efficiently assess a situation, gather crucial data, and provide valuable information to emergency responders. Drones equipped with thermal imaging cameras, high-resolution cameras, and other advanced sensors can now act as first-line responders, providing critical information to emergency teams on the ground. This real-time data can significantly enhance decision-making and response times, ultimately saving lives.
On the other hand, the Drone for First Responder function focuses on the use of drones as support tools for emergency personnel. Drones can carry essential supplies, such as medical equipment, water, or communication devices, to hard-to-reach areas or in situations where human access is limited. This function expands the capabilities of emergency services by providing them with an additional resource that can rapidly deliver crucial supplies to those in need.
By combining the capabilities of both functions, emergency services can achieve a comprehensive and highly effective response strategy. DFR^2 not only enhances the safety and efficiency of emergency operations but also improves the overall effectiveness of emergency response efforts.
We believe that the integration of DFR^2 into emergency service protocols will significantly impact the way emergencies are managed. The rapid deployment and versatility of drones make them indispensable tools for modern emergency services. We encourage all emergency services working with drones to explore the possibilities offered by DFR^2 and consider implementing this innovative approach into their operations.
Together, let us embrace the future of emergency response and harness the power of drones to save lives.

Interested in learning crime mapping and/or MS Access? Join us for one of our 3 day courses:
Microsoft Access for Crime Analysis - Intro
Microsoft Access is a powerful database management program that many crime analysts already have. This hands-on course provides students with an introduction to using Microsoft Access for Crime Analysis. Students will use Microsoft Access to create and import tables, perform several different types of filters and queries, and create useful reports. Students who complete this course are able to import crime and offender data into Access, query the data to find patterns, and produce meaningful reports. This course is offered as a 3 days in-person course from 8 am to 4 pm.
DATES:
December 9-11, 2024 (Open)
