TEXT I
“Through the Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted (LEOKA) Data Collection, the FBI provides data
and training that helps keep law enforcement officers safe as they protect the nation’s communities. The goal
is to provide relevant, high quality, potentially lifesaving information to law enforcement agencies focusing on
why an incident occurred, as opposed to what occurred during the incident, with the hope of preventing future
incidents. The data collected is analyzed by the LEOKA team and the results are incorporated into the officer
safety awareness training the FBI provides for partner agencies.
LEOKA’S Three-Tier Approach
LEOKA has a three-tier approach in order to fulfill its mission and promote officer safety awareness to the law
enforcement community nationwide:
▪ Data collection: Data on line-of-duty deaths and assaults are collected from participating agencies
across the country through the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program, and the recent
expansion of the data collection methods are providing even more facts that can be studied by experts
and officer safety trainers in order to tailor training to real world circumstances. The data are also
published annually in the Bureau’s Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted report.
▪ Research: Over the years, researchers led by the LEOKA Data Collection have been conducting indepth research using UCR data collected regarding incidents in which officers are killed or assaulted.
The published research gives officers a sharper understanding of what types of scenarios and
circumstances have resulted in fatalities and assaults. These articles and publications also contain
information obtained through extensive interviews with officers and offenders involved in critical
incidents to develop lessons learned, trends and curriculum development for the FBI’s Officer Safety
Awareness Training (OSAT).
▪ Training: The objective of the Bureau’s OSAT, which has been provided to thousands of our law
enforcement partners in the U.S. and abroad, is to assist law enforcement managers, trainers, and
personnel with identifying issues and circumstances that may contribute to officer deaths and assaults
and help prevent them. Data has shown an increase in ambushes on our nation’s law enforcement
officers. As a result, LEOKA trainers are studying the data with the purpose of shaping future training
to help reverse this trend with information and education.
LEOKA Criteria
The data collected under the auspices of the LEOKA Data Collection involves law enforcement officers who
meet a certain set of criteria established by the FBI.
General Criteria
The publishable data pertains to felonious deaths, accidental deaths, and assaults of duly sworn city, university
and college, county, state, tribal, and federal law enforcement officers who, at the time of the incident, met the
following criteria:
▪ Wore/carried a badge (ordinarily)
▪ Carried a firearm (ordinarily)
▪ Were duly sworn and had full arrest powers
▪ Were members of a law enforcement agency
▪ Were acting in an official capacity, whether on or off duty, at the time of the incident
▪ If killed, the deaths were directly related to the injuries received during the incidentes.”

All the alternatives match the meaning of the word “awareness” as used in the sentence,
EXCEPT:
“The data collected is analyzed by the LEOKA team and the results are incorporated into the officer safety awareness training the FBI provides for partner agencies.”
“The data collected is analyzed by the LEOKA team and the results are incorporated into the officer safety awareness training the FBI provides for partner agencies.”

One of the most widely read books in modern times is
Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence People.
The popular self-help work offers advice on how to manage
people and bring them around to your way of thinking. The
influential figures of ancient history had no such manual to guide
them, especially those leaders who ruled the world’s earliest
civilizations. They had to learn on the job. What worked for an
innovative female pharaoh in Egypt was not necessarily the
secret to success for the first Roman emperor or a
groundbreaking Chinese philosopher.

Scientists Reveal Simple Trick To Make You Seem More Persuasive
One simple trick can make you seem more persuasive when you're talking to people.
This is the discovery of University of British Columbia (UBC), University of Pennsylvania and University
of Southern California (USC) researchers, who have revealed that while words are important, talking with
your hands could hold more power.
In fact, "purposeful" hand gestures-and one type in particular-can make you appear both more
convincing and competent.
Building on previous research exploring speech patterns and facial expressions, this is the "first" study to
examine hand gestures at scale, according to the team.
Audiences can interpret illustrative gestures as a sign of mastery, explains paper author and information
systems researcher professor Mi Zhou of UBC.
"If a person uses their hands to visually illustrate what they're talking about, the audience perceives that
this person has more knowledge and can make things easier to understand," Zhou said in a statement.
