Roll Call Training Illicit Trade and Trafficking We need a united front to stop black-market criminality and trafficking in Pennsylvania. “The best way to put a halt to illicit trade in Pennsylvania and across the country is for law enforcement, the business community, and other leaders to work together, sharing information and expertise. By doing so, we have more eyes on the problem and more ways to root it out and stop it. Criminals who traffic in counterfeit and fraudulent products also traffic narcotics, guns, and even human beings. The black-market fuels organized criminal networks—including terror groups and drug cartels—while damaging our economy, businesses, and our communities. Illegal trade fuels a $2.2 trillion-per-year industry of transnational crime and directly impacts communities across the Commonwealth:
The pervasive threat of illegal trade and black-market profiteering is pervasive amid supply shortages and the increase of e-commerce. Far too often, unsuspecting consumers fall victim to nefarious actors looking to peddle counterfeit and stolen goods, putting consumers’ health in danger and harming legitimate businesses and, ultimately, taxpayers.

Chris Boyle Law Enforcement Consulting, LLC Date: New one-hour of videos on the 1st of every month If you and your troops are training on only the ten “most important” cases that make it into state-mandated training every year, cases that are sometimes eighteen months old before you hear about them, you may be missing out. Every day, I review every case that comes out of the United States Supreme Court, every case in the Third Circuit, Eastern, Middle and Western Districts of Pennsylvania, and every reported Pennsylvania state law case from the Pennsylvania Supreme Court on down, that mentions law enforcement. I pull any case involving a change or clarification in the law, and any that my thirty-two years in, and defending, law enforcement tells me is worthy of your time. Why is it worthy? - Either because I have defended officers sued based on the same concept, or it is an area where we fall short in applying criminal law, and the guilty go free. Every month, I provide these cases to you in four, fifteen-minute videos, on the first of each month, adding relevant “check-the-box” topic discussion as the need arises through the year. The oldest case you will ever see in one of my updates? 31 days. New for 2022? Each month I will be sending Departments a test on that month’s training, to gauge “knowledge transfer”. New Departments signing up now, will receive November and December 2021’s updates at no additional cost. (Departments who have been along since the 2021 launch and renew, will receive a two month discount for 2022!) Keeping up to date on the most recent developments in the law will help keep you and your officers out of federal court as defendants, and at the forefront of professional policing. You and your officers each receive twelve hours of high quality, up to the minute training over the course of a year for less than ten bucks a month. If you head off just one federal lawsuit, the investment pays for itself many times over. I look forward to you joining the 42 Departments already taking part, and stand ready to answer any questions you might have, or to sign you up. Thanks for your time! (Ret.) Lt. Chris Boyle #125, Esq. |
