TEDx talk: Debunking Bias: Perceptions of Male & Female Leaders
Case Study:
The NorCal Rapist
Background
Sacramento Detective Avis C. Beery, survivor Nicole Earnest-Payte, and Law Enforcement Safety Consultant Ed O’Carroll will be sharing their experiences in investigating and surviving the ‘NorCal Rapist’ Case. This case involved a series of sexual assaults across Northern California with the perpetrator being apprehended after years of evading justice. This de-brief will highlight how a combination of modern technology, empathetic engagement and traditional investigative methods can lead to successful outcomes in cold cases. It also underscores the critical role of victims in seeking justice and the importance of a victim-centered approach to law enforcement.
Case Study:
The Shopping Cart Killer
Background
Like many communities, Harrisonburg has its fair share of people who ‘disappear’ for a few days and then return. In this case, the circumstances surrounding the disappearance of the victim were not ‘usual’. This investigation led to a gruesome discovery in a field next to a local motel, ultimately uncovering a series of murders and identifying the ‘Shopping Cart Killer’ serial murderer. This case will highlight that knowing your community can provide crucial insights during investigations. Interjurisdictional trust and cooperation are essential, especially in a large, high-profile case. Finally, this case reminds us that such crimes can happen anywhere.
Case Study:
Radio Silence: Failing to Hear a Solution
Background
M. Todd Martin, Lieutenant, Texas Rangers (Ret.) and founder of RANGLUR - Protection, Architectural & Engineering Firm, has served over three decades in numerous operational and supervisory roles within the U.S. military, intelligence and law enforcement agencies, including numerous tactical roles for the Texas Rangers Special Operations Group.
Todd will provide an in-depth presentation and discussion of the large-scale failures that occurred at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas on May 24, 2022. He will also outline and facilitate a discussion on the continued failures related to combatting active assailants in the United States and what we as American law enforcement must do to keep our communities safe.
