In 1998, Investigator Boyce was cross-designated a U.S. Customs Officer by the U.S. Department of Treasury. In addition, Investigator Boyce was assigned to New York State Police Division Headquarters, Planning and Research section to assist with the establishment of Minimum Standards for Gun Locking Devices and Combined Ballistic Identification System (CoBIS), a pistol and revolver ballistic databank.

In the spring of 2004, Investigator Boyce successfully completed Crisis Negotiations School to join the elite group of New York State Police Crisis Negotiators.
The Workshop
ncidents of police-on-police confrontations are minimal compared to a law enforcement officers daily encounters with suspects and/or defendants. On the rare occasion when police-on-police encounters do occur, they are usually intense volatile situations involving firearms, stereotypes and split second decisions. Unfortunately, a disproportionate number of these rare confrontations have ultimately resulted in the deaths of off-duty and plain clothes minority law enforcement officers.
This seminar will provide participants with an opportunity to learn discuss and offer suggestions about off-duty and plain clothes police encounters.
