The Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI), in conjunction with the Sex Offender Management Board (SOMB), is pleased to announce Sex Offender Registration and Sexually Violent Predator Training. This class is offered free of charge, and is open to all personnel who work with or are involved in sex offender management and registration and/or sexually violent predator community notification training and meetings. Parole and probation are also encouraged to attend. This training will be offered many times throughout the state over the next year and a half, so you may wish to wait for a training class scheduled near you.
Date: June 27, 2017, from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. Registration will start at 7:30 AM. A one hour lunch will be on your own.
Hosted by: the Gunnison Police Department. The class will be held at the Municipal Court Room, 201 West Virginia, Gunnison, CO, 81230. We will be registering the first 30 students on a first come, first served basis. Those that register after the first 30 students will be placed on a waiting list. Each student requesting to attend will need to complete their OWN registration. Please do not register anyone except yourself, as we will be sending e-mails to all attendees pre and post training. If you register for someone else, both registrations will be cancelled.
Class Details: The morning session will include training developed by the CBI and will be a full four hours. It will include sex offender basics, Colorado sex offender statute information, Messenger training and COSOR Module training. The SOMB will end the day presenting training on: National and state legislation regarding sexual offenders, statistics and characteristics of sexual offenders, sex offender management and containment in the community, how to conduct community notification, and changes to the Criterial and Protocol book.
Presenter: The CBI and SOMB are proud to announce that through grant funding, this training will be conducted by Retired Detective Rick Schneider of the Denver Police Department. Rick has over 31 years of law enforcement experience with 29 years at the Denver Police Department. He spent the last 13 years of his career in the Sex Offender Unit with the Denver PD. Rick brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the topic of sex offender registration.
It is recommended that for the first session, you have at least a rudimentary knowledge of Messenger and the Module. As a reminder, this training is for criminal justice personnel only.
Course materials: Materials will be posted to CJIS Portal closer to when the class is held, and all enrolled students will be notified.
Once you have completed the class, students will be directed to take a 10-20 question exam on the CJIS Portal website. After the successful completion of the exam, the student will be issued a certificate of completion.
