Phil Chalmers, America's leading authority on juvenile homicide and juvenile mass murder, has interviewed over 200 teen killers and school shooters, and has been studying youth culture and teen murder for 25 years. Phil is the author of numerous books and documentaries including his latest two releases, "Inside the Mind of a Teen Killer" and "The Encyclopedia of Teen Killers."
Instead of learning about these crimes from textbooks or libraries, Chalmers speaks to the killers themselves, and has interacted with teen killers, serial killers, school shooters, and sexual predators, including Charles Manson, David Berkowitz, Pearl shooter Like Woodham, Paducah shooter Michael Carneal, Jonesboro shooter Mitchell Johnson, and Moses Lake shooter Barry Loukaitis. Phil's next project is a television show with Miami Homicide detective Joe Schillaci based on his seminar and book about teen killers, with an emphasis on rescuing teens who are headed towards himicide. Phil is also working on a book with Joe Schillaci detailing how America manufactures and raises our very own teen killers.
Phil's work has been featured on Montel Williams, Howard Stern, People Magazine, and the "E" network. He has appeared on numerous media outlets, and has interacted with numerous media personalities, including the Insane Clown Posse, Jessica Simpson, Metallica, Two Live Crew, and many more.
Join us at the 2010 Safe School Conference and hear Phil Chalmers live. This seminar will teach attendees the top ten reasons juveniles kill, the six types of teen killers, the warning signs that were missed, and ways we can keep our schools and communities safe. Phil will take attendees back in time, exploring the history of juvenile homicide, which dates back to 1786, and will discuss 2 of the first school shootings, which occured 36 years ago, back in 1974. Phil will also give attendees a dose of youth culture, familiarizing attendees with today's teen entertainment, including video games, music, and movies.
"Phil's presentation was amazing... the details and information that Phil shared in regards to these incidents is nothing like I have seen in any other presentation on this topic in my career." Kevin Quinn, Chandler Police Dept SRO and NASRO board member.

David Irvine- Embracing Change - The Power of Possibility
To survive, your culture has to constantly adapt and adjust. Change will continue to be an integral part of this work: administrative changes, SRO changes, staffing changes, student changes, new initiatives, new approaches, and new possibilities. As a leader, your the agent of change. But where is your road map? Where are your tools?
There are eight stages of change. The first is attachment to the familiar; the eighth is possibility; in between is chaos. If you can inspire and lead yourself and others to the point where they embrace possibility, you have done your job.
Once you have mastered the art of change, you will find that it applies beyond the walls of your workplace. When you learn to embrace change with courage and clarity, you will build much more than a strong and vital organization. You will build a strong, vital life.
