SUMMARY:Florida-Focused Internal Affairs Training
DESCRIPTION:This specialized Internal Affairs (IA) training is designed for both newly assigned and experienced investigators across all public safety disciplines, including law enforcement, corrections, fire service, inspectors general, and supervisors who conduct internal or administrative investigations as an adjunct duty.\nSpecifically tailored for Florida practitioners, this three-day course provides a comprehensive overview of national best practices and professional standards for conducting thorough, objective, procedurally fair, and legally sound internal affairs investigations. The course is appropriate for both sworn and non-sworn personnel and satisfies law enforcement accreditation standards requiring specialized training for assigned duties.\nCourse content emphasizes compliance with Florida’s primary legal authorities, including the Law Enforcement and Correctional Officers’ Bill of Rights and the Firefighters’ Bill of Rights. Participants will examine the practical application of these statutory requirements and develop strategies for effectively navigating complex investigative issues.\nParticular emphasis is placed on legal considerations, due process requirements, and sound investigative practices under the United States Constitution, Florida Constitution, and applicable Florida statutes. The course also addresses national due process standards established through key decisions, including Garrity, Weingarten, Loudermill, and Veal, as well as requirements and considerations related to Florida’s public records law.\nThrough this comprehensive approach, participants will strengthen the knowledge and practical skills necessary to conduct fair, defensible, and professionally sound internal affairs investigations.\nPresenter:\n\nChief Larry Horak (ret.)\nConsultant, Embassy Consulting Services\nLawrence “Larry” Horak, a seasoned law enforcement professional, began his career in 1980 and retired in 2015 as the Chief of Police for the Margate (Florida) Police Department.
