Re-Examining Tactical Mindset - Peter N. Spagnolo 

Discusses the dynamics of SWAT operations in a terror environment, how the operator must view his enemy and how that view must impact the operation. When dealing with a terrorist, it may be less a matter of arrest and prosecute and more one of kill to save lives or be killed.

Islam vs. Christianity...Understanding the Conflict, Past, Present, and Future - Stan Standridge

Stan Standridge is a Lieutenant with the Abilene Police Department and a recent graduate of the FBI National Academy.  He is a member of one of Abilene's largest Churches, and because of his own faith, he has studied Islam for nearly five years.  Does the Qur'an really differ from the Bible?  Is Allah God?Stan's desire is for all officers to know what Islam is and how it differs from Christianity.  Only then will officers be prepared for the future.

Virginia Tech Debrief - John Glass

This session will provide a presentation covering a timeline of events, and lessons learned.
