8:00 am – 10:00 am: The Competency Crisis and Best Practices
Deborah L. Collins, Psy.D., ABPP, Christina Engen, Ph.D., ABPP, & Brooke Lundbohm, Psy.D.

The demand for competency to stand trial evaluation for individuals across the U.S. has increased significantly in recent years. Judicial determinations of individuals adjudicated incompetent to proceed though likely to regain competency have also increased. Related treatment providers and agencies have been challenged to find ways to bolster and adapt existing options and to “think outside the box” in providing services consistent with best practices for persons needing monitoring and/or treatment to competency services. Goals of this presentation include: (1) to provide an overview of the competency crisis, with a focus on Wisconsin; and, (2) to review best practices for managing individuals adjudicated incompetent and pending treatment to competency.

Sheriff Errol Toulon & Correction Officer Investigator Lieutenant Shawn Springsteen, The Corrections Intelligence Center & Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department Yaphank, NY

The Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office Intelligence Bureau will present on the value of utilizing information held inside Correctional Facilities to assist in operational safety inside facilities as well as proactively working with policing partners to assist in Criminal Investigations. The presentation will focus on the mission of the Intelligence Bureau, the technology and techniques utilized to extract information from within a corrections environment, and the creation of the first of its kind, in person, Correction’s Intelligence Center (C.I.C.). The Corrections Intelligence Center’s information is shared with participating agencies on a local, regional, national and international level to help identify criminological trends that threaten the safety of Correctional Facilities and their communities. Through in person and virtual collaboration at the Corrections Intelligence Center, we are able to generate and disseminate intelligence products to identify tactics and methods along with criminal/SRG networks with the intention of proactively combating threats to correctional facilities that transcends jurisdictional lines. This presentation will also highlight our agency’s official partnership with El Salvador with the mission of combating transnational gang activity.
