Oneida Casino Hotel
8:00 am – 5:00 pm :: Registration
8:00 am – 8:30 am :: Opening Remarks
8:30 am – 10:00 am :: The Role of Corrections Intelligence in Human Trafficking Investigations
Sheriff Errol Toulon, Investigator Lieutenant Shawn Springsteen, & Investigator Sergeant Erin Meunkle, Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office (NY)
Human trafficking networks and their criminal operations often intersect with the corrections system. This discussion explores the critical, yet often underutilized, role that corrections intelligence can play in identifying, disrupting, and dismantling trafficking operations. We will examine how intelligence gathered within correctional facilities can drive proactive investigations beyond the prison walls. We will discuss the tools, strategies, and collaborations that leverage inmate communications and other forms of institutional intelligence to uncover trafficking networks, identify victims, and prosecute perpetrators.
Key topics include:
10:15 am – 12:00 pm :: A Plot Against the Downtown Detention Center
Sheriff Daron Hall, Davidson County Sheriff’s Office (TN)
Described as bizarre and sinister, this story has drawn national headlines and put a spotlight on Nashville, TN. A prison/jail reform advocate, posing as a construction worker, spends months inside an under-construction jail. Ultimately, just weeks before opening, three loaded guns are found hidden in the walls of the 762-bed maximum-security facility; delaying the jail opening and costing taxpayers millions. How was his deadly plan foiled, why did he do it, and how can it be prevented in future projects?
12:00 pm – 5:00 pm :: Vendor Show (lunch included)
