Juvenile Specialist Skills/Juvenile Officer Course

Instructor: Brian Galske, Danielle Butts, and Catherine Hundley

March 16-19, 2026

8am – 5pm

 Class will meet at: CIPTC, ICC Peoria Campus, 5407 N. University, Poplar Hall P101, Peoria, IL

Enrollment Deadline:  March 10, 2026

Course Size:  Minimum 15 – Maximum – 30

Bring a charged laptop all handouts will be provided on thumb drive

Course Objective

This four-day, 32-hour program has been designed by expert practitioners from the fields of juvenile law, social work, and law enforcement to assist recently assigned juvenile officers in the legal, moral, and social issues that they will encounter in their positions as juvenile specialists. Public Act 88-7 requires “Juvenile Officers” to complete a course as prescribed by the Board. This course meets that requirement.

Course Overview:

The focus of this course is primarily to provide police officers with the skills, knowledge, and abilities needed to perform their duties as juvenile officers. In this unique role, juvenile officers not only enforce laws, but also respond compassionately and effectively to family problems. They serve as protectors of society by investigating criminal acts for findings of delinquency and as supporters of youths by helping them to grow out of adolescence without experiencing the stigma of police involvement.

Specific topics to be addressed in this program include the following:

• The role and responsibility of the Juvenile Officer
• Gaining perspectives on the assignment
• Child development
• Child psychology
• Communicating with adolescents and parents
• Adolescents and electronic influences
• Intervention and prevention strategies
• Article I of the Juvenile Court Act: General provisions
• Article II of the Juvenile Court Act: Abused, neglected, and dependent minors
• Article III of the Juvenile Court Act: Minors requiring authoritative intervention
• Article IV of the Juvenile Court Act: Addicted Minors
• Article V of the Juvenile Court Act: Delinquent minors
• Psychodynamics of child abuse
• The role of law enforcement and social services
• Protective custody • Investigative techniques
• Preparing child abuse cases for court
• Sexual abuse and sexual exploitation investigations

Course Goals:

The goals of this course are to make officers particularly aware of the demographics of the burgeoning youth population, which is becoming increasingly more vulnerable to gang recruitment, violent crime, sexual exploitation, alcohol, and drug abuse, and carrying weapons. Officers will become uniquely aware of these problems and the needs facing the children, adolescents, young adults, and parents that they will be serving in their capacity as juvenile officers. Throughout the program, participation in supportive networks such as Juvenile Officer Associations, Gang Task Forces, and high school liaison programs will be discussed and encouraged.

About the Instructor’s:

Lt. Chris Collins graduated from University of Illinois with a degree in Criminology and began his law enforcement career with the Kane County Sheriff’s Office in 1990 as an Auxiliary Deputy.  In 1993 he attended the Police Training Institute at University of Illinois where he graduated first in his class and was awarded the Clifford Van Meeter Award for academic excellence.  Over his 32 years in law enforcement Chris has served in most every conceivable capacity at the Sheriff’s Office, including patrol, investigations, civil process, community policing, and administration.  He has served as a FTO, SWAT, Traffic Enforcement, and Negotiations Response Team Officer.  He holds numerous professional certifications and graduated from Northwestern’s School of Police Staff and Command in 2009.  He has supervised patrol, investigations, civil process, and the Office of Professional Standards as both a Sergeant and Lieutenant. Chris enjoys teaching and speaking, and is an Illinois Certified Crisis Intervention Instructor as well as a CIT International certified CIT Coordinator.  His speaking credits include numerous local and regional organizations, as well as the Illinois State NAMI Conference.  At home Chris enjoys spending time outdoors; camping with his dogs (Ellie an Australian Shepherd and Piper a Border Collie); traveling; and cooking.

Acting Lieutenant Heather Hansen began her career in Law Enforcement in 1989. She served as a corrections officer, probation officer and was a police and fire dispatcher. In 1995 she was commissioned as a State Trooper with the Illinois State Police. As a Trooper in the Chicago area, Heather was assigned to a special enforcement team that focused on gangs, guns, drugs, reckless drivers and DUIs. She has served in many additional roles in the last thirty years.

Twelve years of Heather’s career with the I.S.P. was spent as a crime scene investigator in the south suburbs of Chicago. She was the crime scene investigator for over 1200 major cases including hundreds of death investigations, 275 homicides, (including scenes with multiple deaths and entire families) and cases covered on a national basis.  She received the Department Medal of Achievement for creating the State of Illinois five-week crime scene investigators curriculum. Heather served as the Coordinator of the CSI course and trained and certified hundreds of officers as crime scene investigators for the State Police and 90 additional police departments. Heather has been qualified in State Criminal and Federal Court as an Expert Witness in Crime Scene Investigation.

Heather has worked for the North Eastern Multi-Regional Training Corporation for the last 18 years. One area of her career that she is most proud of is that she has trained and collaborated with over 4500 law enforcement officers in the areas of Lead Homicide Investigator, Instructor Development, Career Survival, Fingerprinting, Footwear, Weapons, Biology/DNA, Tool Marks, Courtroom Testimony and working crime scenes from discovery of the first piece of evidence to courtroom conviction. Notable highlights of Heather’s testimonies include a life sentence for an offender that ambushed and murdered a Metra Railroad Police Officer; and a 126 year sentence for an offender who, with a juvenile accomplice, committed a home invasion, sexual assault and kidnapping of a woman terrorizing her and using her own vehicle during commission of the crimes. Currently, Heather is an instructor with 4 mobile training units throughout Illinois.

Heather has ascended the ranks and was promoted from Master Sergeant to Acting Lieutenant in 2019. She currently serves as Lieutenant of patrol and the Operations officer for 4 counties west of the Chicagoland area, at District 16 of the Illinois State Police.  Heather also serves as a crisis and hostage negotiator on the Northern Swat and Crisis Negotiations Team.

Finally, Heather is most comfortable and inspired with the criminal patrol she sees from great officers every day. As crime rates rise across the Country she focuses on solid investigative techniques, identifying physical evidence that merits convictions in the eyes of jurors and our justice system.

GST Level 2 Overview: Since its inception, the GST master instructors have been actively gathering reports and recommendations from GST instructors worldwide. These contributors, from federal, state, and local agencies throughout North America, offered their experience and expertise to help Gracie University develop the Level 2 course, adding several new lessons to build upon the GST Level 1 material. After more than a decade of success, the SafeWrap system and the LAB were added to the Level 2 course. The SafeWrap system, created in response to inquiries from healthcare institutions needing a safe and highly effective way to restrain aggressive, suicidal, or emotionally disturbed patients, prioritizes patient safety by using no joint locks, choke holds, or strikes and minimizing diaphragm compression to facilitate free breathing and reduce panic. The LAB is an interactive session where participants share their most effective techniques and present challenging problems to instructors and the class for solutions. All active Level 2 instructors have full access to every LAB, as all sessions are filmed.

Enrollment Deadline:  March 10, 2026

Course Size:  Minimum 15 – Maximum – 30

Course Objective

This four-day, 32-hour program has been designed by expert practitioners from the fields of juvenile law, social work, and law enforcement to assist recently assigned juvenile officers in the legal, moral, and social issues that they will encounter in their positions as juvenile specialists. Public Act 88-7 requires “Juvenile Officers” to complete a course as prescribed by the Board. This course meets that requirement.

Course Overview:

The focus of this course is primarily to provide police officers with the skills, knowledge, and abilities needed to perform their duties as juvenile officers. In this unique role, juvenile officers not only enforce laws, but also respond compassionately and effectively to family problems. They serve as protectors of society by investigating criminal acts for findings of delinquency and as supporters of youths by helping them to grow out of adolescence without experiencing the stigma of police involvement.

Specific topics to be addressed in this program include the following:

• The role and responsibility of the Juvenile Officer
• Gaining perspectives on the assignment
• Child development
• Child psychology
• Communicating with adolescents and parents
• Adolescents and electronic influences
• Intervention and prevention strategies
• Article I of the Juvenile Court Act: General provisions
• Article II of the Juvenile Court Act: Abused, neglected, and dependent minors
• Article III of the Juvenile Court Act: Minors requiring authoritative intervention
• Article IV of the Juvenile Court Act: Addicted Minors
• Article V of the Juvenile Court Act: Delinquent minors
• Psychodynamics of child abuse
• The role of law enforcement and social services
• Protective custody • Investigative techniques
• Preparing child abuse cases for court
• Sexual abuse and sexual exploitation investigations

Course Goals:

The goals of this course are to make officers particularly aware of the demographics of the burgeoning youth population, which is becoming increasingly more vulnerable to gang recruitment, violent crime, sexual exploitation, alcohol, and drug abuse, and carrying weapons. Officers will become uniquely aware of these problems and the needs facing the children, adolescents, young adults, and parents that they will be serving in their capacity as juvenile officers. Throughout the program, participation in supportive networks such as Juvenile Officer Associations, Gang Task Forces, and high school liaison programs will be discussed and encouraged.

About the Instructor’s:

Lt. Chris Collins graduated from University of Illinois with a degree in Criminology and began his law enforcement career with the Kane County Sheriff’s Office in 1990 as an Auxiliary Deputy.  In 1993 he attended the Police Training Institute at University of Illinois where he graduated first in his class and was awarded the Clifford Van Meeter Award for academic excellence.  Over his 32 years in law enforcement Chris has served in most every conceivable capacity at the Sheriff’s Office, including patrol, investigations, civil process, community policing, and administration.  He has served as a FTO, SWAT, Traffic Enforcement, and Negotiations Response Team Officer.  He holds numerous professional certifications and graduated from Northwestern’s School of Police Staff and Command in 2009.  He has supervised patrol, investigations, civil process, and the Office of Professional Standards as both a Sergeant and Lieutenant. Chris enjoys teaching and speaking, and is an Illinois Certified Crisis Intervention Instructor as well as a CIT International certified CIT Coordinator.  His speaking credits include numerous local and regional organizations, as well as the Illinois State NAMI Conference.  At home Chris enjoys spending time outdoors; camping with his dogs (Ellie an Australian Shepherd and Piper a Border Collie); traveling; and cooking.

Acting Lieutenant Heather Hansen began her career in Law Enforcement in 1989. She served as a corrections officer, probation officer and was a police and fire dispatcher. In 1995 she was commissioned as a State Trooper with the Illinois State Police. As a Trooper in the Chicago area, Heather was assigned to a special enforcement team that focused on gangs, guns, drugs, reckless drivers and DUIs. She has served in many additional roles in the last thirty years.

Twelve years of Heather’s career with the I.S.P. was spent as a crime scene investigator in the south suburbs of Chicago. She was the crime scene investigator for over 1200 major cases including hundreds of death investigations, 275 homicides, (including scenes with multiple deaths and entire families) and cases covered on a national basis.  She received the Department Medal of Achievement for creating the State of Illinois five-week crime scene investigators curriculum. Heather served as the Coordinator of the CSI course and trained and certified hundreds of officers as crime scene investigators for the State Police and 90 additional police departments. Heather has been qualified in State Criminal and Federal Court as an Expert Witness in Crime Scene Investigation.

Heather has worked for the North Eastern Multi-Regional Training Corporation for the last 18 years. One area of her career that she is most proud of is that she has trained and collaborated with over 4500 law enforcement officers in the areas of Lead Homicide Investigator, Instructor Development, Career Survival, Fingerprinting, Footwear, Weapons, Biology/DNA, Tool Marks, Courtroom Testimony and working crime scenes from discovery of the first piece of evidence to courtroom conviction. Notable highlights of Heather’s testimonies include a life sentence for an offender that ambushed and murdered a Metra Railroad Police Officer; and a 126 year sentence for an offender who, with a juvenile accomplice, committed a home invasion, sexual assault and kidnapping of a woman terrorizing her and using her own vehicle during commission of the crimes. Currently, Heather is an instructor with 4 mobile training units throughout Illinois.

Heather has ascended the ranks and was promoted from Master Sergeant to Acting Lieutenant in 2019. She currently serves as Lieutenant of patrol and the Operations officer for 4 counties west of the Chicagoland area, at District 16 of the Illinois State Police.  Heather also serves as a crisis and hostage negotiator on the Northern Swat and Crisis Negotiations Team.

Finally, Heather is most comfortable and inspired with the criminal patrol she sees from great officers every day. As crime rates rise across the Country she focuses on solid investigative techniques, identifying physical evidence that merits convictions in the eyes of jurors and our justice system.

GST Level 2 Overview: Since its inception, the GST master instructors have been actively gathering reports and recommendations from GST instructors worldwide. These contributors, from federal, state, and local agencies throughout North America, offered their experience and expertise to help Gracie University develop the Level 2 course, adding several new lessons to build upon the GST Level 1 material. After more than a decade of success, the SafeWrap system and the LAB were added to the Level 2 course. The SafeWrap system, created in response to inquiries from healthcare institutions needing a safe and highly effective way to restrain aggressive, suicidal, or emotionally disturbed patients, prioritizes patient safety by using no joint locks, choke holds, or strikes and minimizing diaphragm compression to facilitate free breathing and reduce panic. The LAB is an interactive session where participants share their most effective techniques and present challenging problems to instructors and the class for solutions. All active Level 2 instructors have full access to every LAB, as all sessions are filmed.

Bring Your Duty Belt and Training Gear: Several of the GST Level 2 weapon retention techniques will be practiced using the duty belt. In order to maximize training benefit, course participants must bring their duty belt/assault vest/web gear, applicable holster, as well as an appropriate training handgun and training handcuffs for use during the week. Please note: absolutely no live weapons will be permitted in the training area at any time. Please do NOT bring: firearms, knives, less lethal devices, etc.

GST Level 2 (L2) Qualification Requirements + GST Level 1 (L1) Recertification
In order to participate in the Level 2 GST course, participants must have completed GST Level 1 within the last two years.

Class will meet at: Festival Building, 2200 E. Washington, East Peoria

GST Level 2 Overview: Since its inception, the GST master instructors have been actively gathering reports and recommendations from GST instructors worldwide. These contributors, from federal, state, and local agencies throughout North America, offered their experience and expertise to help Gracie University develop the Level 2 course, adding several new lessons to build upon the GST Level 1 material. After more than a decade of success, the SafeWrap system and the LAB were added to the Level 2 course. The SafeWrap system, created in response to inquiries from healthcare institutions needing a safe and highly effective way to restrain aggressive, suicidal, or emotionally disturbed patients, prioritizes patient safety by using no joint locks, choke holds, or strikes and minimizing diaphragm compression to facilitate free breathing and reduce panic. The LAB is an interactive session where participants share their most effective techniques and present challenging problems to instructors and the class for solutions. All active Level 2 instructors have full access to every LAB, as all sessions are filmed.

Bring Your Duty Belt and Training Gear: Several of the GST Level 2 weapon retention techniques will be practiced using the duty belt. In order to maximize training benefit, course participants must bring their duty belt/assault vest/web gear, applicable holster, as well as an appropriate training handgun and training handcuffs for use during the week. Please note: absolutely no live weapons will be permitted in the training area at any time. Please do NOT bring: firearms, knives, less lethal devices, etc.

GST Level 2 (L2) Qualification Requirements + GST Level 1 (L1) Recertification
In order to participate in the Level 2 GST course, participants must have completed GST Level 1 within the last two years. In addition to certifying instructors in the 17 new lessons and the SafeWrap system, the Level 2 course will also serve as Level 1 recertification for all who attend. As part of the recertification benefits, Level 2 graduates will also be granted access to the complete GST Level 1 & 2 course online through Gracie University. The online GST access will remain for the duration of the certification period.

– Open only to active (reserve/guard okay) Military personnel, Law Enforcement personnel, and Firefighters/EMTs. Disclaimer: All non-US based LE and MIL personnel must be pre-approved before registering. To begin the approval process, please contact our GST Director below.

Course Object

This 40-hour program is designed to provide selected officers with specialized training on dealing with individuals in the community who have a mental illness or other behavioral disability.  CIT officers are trained as resource specialists who can provide immediate response to calls involving a mental health crisis.  The “team” concept refers to law enforcement involvement with stakeholder agencies, as well as interagency mutual assistance when appropriate.

The course will be conducted by a diverse group of law enforcement and behavioral health professionals.

During the week, students will participate in a variety of valuable exercises that will simulate auditory and 3-D visual hallucinations that individuals with a mental illness might experience.  The program will also provide officers with a unique opportunity to interact with individuals who have a mental illness and their family members (primary and secondary consumers).

An essential part of the CIT course is scenario-based skills training.  Officers are challenged with realistic scenarios portrayed by professional actors from Chicago and St. Louis.  Scenarios may include a suicide intervention, de-escalating a violent situation, or responding to a call involving an individual experiencing paranoia.  All scenarios are facilitated and evaluated by certified CIT officers.

Report Review and Approval for Supervisors 

The Gap-Free Narrative©

Instructor: Al Bello

April 6, 2026

 8am – 5pm

STUDENTS MUS  BRING A CHARGED LAPTOP and 10 copies of a single report they’ve approved in the past for a violent crime.

Class will meet at: Peru PD, 2650 N. Peoria Street, Peru, IL 

Enrollment Deadline:  March 30, 2026

Maximum Students: 25

Course Objective

This class sets up police supervisors for success in police report review and subsequent approval. For far too long, the assumption has been that once someone is promoted, they automatically know what a “good” report looks like.  Nothing could be farther from the truth, and this is an area that requires just as much, if not more, training than other areas of police work. This 8-hour course is designed to provide law enforcement supervisors with a system of review for report narratives with defense-resiliency in mind.  This will be achieved by using the Gap-Free Narrative™ approach created by Offset Consulting LLC.

This class trains supervisors with report approval authority on how to properly review reports with a Gap-Free mindset.  This system will teach report approvers how to check for inconsistencies in articulation and will also provide them with a way to begin standardizing the way their agency approaches the approval of a police narrative.

 Course Content

Under this lesson plan and the principles of the Gap-Free Narrative™ system, students will learn how to use the system’s checklist and narrative breakdowns. This new approach will teach how to analyze a narrative to ensure it has the parts necessary in it, and then employ a checklist to ensure all aspects of the reported-on incident are being documented.

Fundamentals of Realistic De-Escalation (FSI)

Instructor: Forced Science

April 13, 2026

 8am – 5pm

Class will meet at: CIPTC, ICC Peoria Campus, 5407 N. University, Poplar P101, Peoria

Enrollment Deadline:  April 6, 2026

Course Size:  Minimum – 20 Maximum – 64

Course Description and Lesson Purpose:

Law enforcement agencies have come under intense pressure in recent years to prioritize their efforts at “de-escalation.” We will discuss the often-challenging expectations of law enforcement professionals to gain compliance without using physical force and how oftentimes, this may not be realistic or safe. The legitimate goal of de-escalation tactics is to resolve problems with minimal harm. This distinction is critical.

The course will present law enforcement concepts and methods to support de-escalation efforts. Attendees will be provided with knowledge to apply core skills of incident stabilization, tactics and decision-making and verbal and non-verbal skills to establish contact, build rapport and create influence with difficult subjects.

Learning and Training Objectives:

Students will learn a wide variety of skills during this course including:

At the end of this training, the participant will be able to:

• Articulate what ‘de-escalation’ actually means, what the objectives of de-escalation are, and in what situations de-escalation can and cannot be considered
• Discuss the tactical principles of de-escalation, risk assessment and decision-making
• Quickly evaluate an interaction to determine whether de-escalation efforts are reasonable to consider, tactically practical, and likely to be successful
• Apply critical Force Science® concepts such as the “Response-ability Zone” and the “7 T’s De- escalation Evaluation Model” to evaluate tactics that are needed or likely to be successful in supporting a de-escalation process
• Enhance their ability to make a connection, establish rapport and apply effective principles of persuasion with difficult subjects, including mentally ill subjects, through the application of the ‘Behavioral Influence Stairway Model’
• Learn and apply the ‘Thought/Emotion/Behavior’ (TEB) Matrix to quickly recognize whether a subject is in ‘conflict’, ‘crisis’ or has ‘contaminated’ thinking and therefore which strategies of persuasion are likely to be the most effective
• Employ specialized questions specifically designed to cognitively engage individuals in crisis and increase the likelihood of resolution that either avoids force or minimizes the amount necessary to obtain control
• Better ensure that officers’ approach and control strategies maximize their response options while minimizing the potential for unnecessary emotional and/or physical escalation
• Balance the desirability of trying to resolve a conflict peacefully with the need to maintain officer and public safety
• Apply principles of officer self-regulation and emotional control in order to maintain rational thinking processes

• Help community members and the media better understand what realistic de-escalation entails and the challenges that subjects may present that can inhibit, if not prohibit, an officer’s ability to safely de-escalate.
