Understanding Criminal Minds by Ginger Mohs
Ginger was a police officer in Fort Collins for many years and was the lead investigator in Lacy Miller's case. She was trained in FBI profiling and will share her knowledge about criminal profiles, character traits and MO's.
Safety Strategies for TEENS ONLY
Teen Safety strategies will be very similar to the women's part 1 and part 2 with the exception that more time will be allowed for questions that are specific to teenagers. Since their environment is specific and unique, their questions and problem solving will be focused on their age group. Role plays will be specific to their situations as well. Sometimes teens will open up more about the dangers they are facing if parents are not in the room. We want them to be able to look at any circumstance and be confident that they can work their way through the obstacles they might be facing.
