Streets Gangs
Today's youth have ever-growing challenges. They face challenges from school work
and adolescent development, peer pressure, as well as outside pressure. Street gangs have
become a major factor in the challenges facing the youth of today. This workshop addresses the
origin of street gangs, their roots, and their history. How have they grown and developed?
Where are they found in society? Where are they found in corporate America? How do they
communicate and indoctrinate? What resources are available to help children get out of
gangs? What resources are available to assist and strengthen a young person's resolve not to
join a gang? What signs should we look for in identifying "gang activity" in the community and
school?
The W estchesterCounty Department of Corrections has one the largest Gang Investigation
Units in New York State. They continually track the movement of gangs and their members.
They maintain a database of gang tattoos and graffiti, and they are constantly decoding writings
and symbols used to send messages.
In 1996, Officer Scott W. Delfa of the Westchester County Department of
Corrections started the C.A.R.E. (Correctional Adolescent Reach-out Education) Program. He
routinely presents for schools, civic groups, public assemblies and law enforcement
organizations, teaching people to better understand the threat of organized street
gangs. Officer Delfa's multi-media presentations include numerous photographs and items of
confiscated paraphernalia which show the vast ways in which street gangs communicate and
identify their members.

Bullying
Bullying is an explosive topic! Almost everyday we hear something related to bullying in
the news media. In fact, the word “Bullying” is now applied purposely to invoke
emotional responses. Those of us working with young people spend countless hours
addressing “Bullying” issues, but what exactly is Bullying? What about Cyberbullying?
Is Bullying against the law? Is there a “Profile” describing the typical Bully? What can
we do about Bullying? This workshop will address these questions and topics.
Frank Kolarik is the founder of Listen Up Safety Services. Frank incorporates his 15 years
of experience as a Youth Detective into engaging multi-media presentations that “Hit
Home” for students, school personnel, parents, and law enforcement officers.

First Responders-Disability Awareness Training
Overview/Description:
1. Major purpose/theme of workshop: First Responders Disability Awareness Training (FR
DAT) is developing a presentation for law enforcement. It brings together education on
disabilities while enhancing sensitivity. The presentation includes the history of disabilities,
definitions, etiquette and interaction skills, the disabled perspective, challenging behaviors,
and current trends and topics, all relevant to police officers.
2. How initiative relates directly to law enforcement and its impact on response: The ability to
respond appropriately to situations, whatever the magnitude, is essential in the initial
interaction involving individuals. 50-80% of interactions by an officer involve an individual
with a disability and they are most often the first to respond. High profile events have
exposed the lack of training and preparedness in responding to this population. This training
addresses every area of response and specific interaction skills in encountering individuals
with disabilities including, but not limited to, characteristics of individuals with disabilities,
challenges faced and how to overcome them, federal/state guidelines and supports provided,
victimization, identifying and working with service providers, and the latest initiatives and
programs. Attendees will also be provided with an in-depth explanation of why society
discriminates against individuals with disabilities and the injustices that occur.
3. Discuss the types of activities or teaching strategies that will be utilized: Disability awareness
incorporates sensitivity training so the audience can empathize with the injustices
individuals with disabilities face. Videos, extensive materials and resources, federal
guidelines, and current best practices will highlight the content and allow for attendees to
best respond and interact with all citizens in their community.
