The FLETC Journal: Fall 2010 Edition (PDF) THE FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT TRAINING CENTER JournalVOLUME 8 FALL 2010 DHS Secretary Visits FLETC page 21 INSIDE: FLETC’s New Avatar-Based NCIS Marine Liaison Agent Rethinking Interview Simulator Training Program, Charleston “Let Me See Your Hands” page 8 page 18 page 37 Inside this issue This issue of the Journal spotlights the recent visit by the Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano. After viewing some of the training provided to the 88 Partner Organizations, the Secretary spoke to the FLETC students and staff about the strength of our law enforcement partnerships and the importance to effectively and efficiently train together. Coincidentally, this issue also contains an article about FLETC’s first training program entitled “21st Century DOMINICK BRACCIO Leadership for Women in Law Enforcement” conducted for our Assistant Director, international partners in Romania. Our own Director, Connie Patrick, Training FLETC participated in training 24 female law enforcement supervisors and executives during the program. This issue also highlights one of the many new emerging technologies employed by the FLETC - the Avatar Based Interviewing Simulator, the first of its kind in the country. The FLETC frequently employs new technology to train this generation of tech-savvy students at a significant cost savings to the government. While not meant to completely substitute for actual role-based training with professional staff, the Avatar uses speech recognition to provide free flowing practice sessions where students can hone their communication skills and strategies to elicit accurate information from victims, witnesses and suspects while gauging both verbal and non-verbal cues. This new methodology will eventually assist in many facets of law enforcement including the ability of the officer to de-escalate potentially dangerous situations. Finally, this Journal begins a focus on the Partner Organizations that train at the FLETC for their Criminal Investigator, Uniformed, and Land Management roles in law enforcement. In this issue, learn about the history of the U.S. Capitol Police and their many functions today. Also, see how the Naval Criminal Investigative Service trains at one of the FLETC field sites in Charleston, SC, for their Maritime Liaison Agent Program. Future Journal editions will continue to highlight our Partners and how they train to prepare for their important and diverse assignments. Training - the cornerstone to peak operational performance. Look inside the FLETC Journal and you’ll see where law enforcement partnership begins and the next generation of our countries heroes prepare and train to protect our homeland.

With the arrival of Disney+ came some new MCU releases. The one everyone talked about was WandaVision. My partner had not seen very many of the MCU films, so we decided to approach them in chronological order. It was a great time! We saw character evolution, we saw plot lines unfold, I’m telling you . it was a new way of looking at it all! We ended with WandaVision, with Andrew knowing who and what everyone was. It was FAN- tastic! And, leave it to Disney, they just released yet another series on the back of that for us to watch: The Falcon and Winter Soldier, another story in the MCU saga. That being said, they are two very different styles of shows . and over the years of the MCU movie releases, you can definitely see the differences in the storytelling/direction/ vision along the way. It’s really interesting to watch in quick succession.

  • IN FOCUS: Gender Identity and the Superhero
    IN FOCUS: Gender Identity and the Superhero Representation and Diversity in Comics Studies by ELLEN KIRKPATRICK and SUZANNE SCOTT n spring 2011, Bart Beaty broke new ground by editing the first In Focus section of Cinema Journal devoted to comics studies.1 Beaty curated a thematically important issue, concluding with a round- table on the state of comics studies—a section befitting a rapidly evolving and expanding field. However, there was a noticeable ab- Isence of matters of representation and diversity in the section’s vision of “comics studies” and an equal dismissal of studies of representation in that roundtable. To some extent, this absence is understandable, especially as the primary function of the section was to rationalize and celebrate the study of comics as a distinct media form. Though issues of representation were certainly of concern within comics scholar- ship and culture at that time, Scott Bukatman identified “representa- tion of ” studies as one of the problems “endemic to a young field.”2 In their understandable effort to privilege the “how” of comics, the panelists, however, not only marginalized “scholarly work that tends 1 “In Focus: Comics Studies: Fifty Years after Film Studies,” ed.
