Major Case Assistance Team Training

Recently, I was honored to spend a day training some of the best and brightest Investigators in the Chicagoland area. This group of 51 attended a day of training on the Topic of Criminal Profiling. I have been lecturing and training in this area since 1992. I would like to thank MCAT Director Nate, Sgt. Rick and Bob from the County for putting this together and allowing me to work with a great group of men and women. May all of them stay safe in their pursuits!

Presentation and Book Signing



DR. WAYNE JOHNSON
Thursday, November 20th
7:00 pm at The Book Stall
From Chicago's original gangsters to the Outfit's decline in recent years, Dr. Wayne Johnson is well-versed in the organized crime that long ensnared the city. After 25 years with the Chicago Police Department - his last assignment supervising a unit within the Organized Crime Division - Johnson was appointed Chief Investigator for the renowned Chicago Crime Commission.
 
Now coordinator of Harper College's law enforcement programs and widely considered a top authority on organized crime, Johnson has written A History of Violence: An Encyclopedia of 1,400 Chicago Mob Murders. The 300-plus page tome is the product of painstaking research into newspaper articles, police reports, coroners' reports and other archives over a 14-year period.
 
This event is free and open to the public.
 

Panel Discussion: Crooked City

 
Attended one of the most interesting presentations in some time. I felt honored to be invited. Cook County States Attorney, Corporation Councils Office and the Police Union were called out big time. None would attend. I left with one burning question. Is real Justice attainable in Cook County?

OC Presentation

On October 13th I had the privilege of appearing at the Palatine Public Library. The Library staff and audience were a wonderful group and enjoyed the evening as did I. My next appearance will be at the Book Stall at Chestnut Court in downtown Winnetka on November 20th at 7pm. See the below link for details:

Additional appearances will be in Schaumburg, Elmhurst and McHenry County.

I look forward to seeing all of you soon, Dr. Wayne A. Johnson

Las Vegas Mob Museum Appearance

I find the Las Vegas Mob Museum a first class destination. You can easily spend several hours there. I enjoyed my experience and am grateful they are carrying my book. If you travel to Las Vegas make time to stop at the Museum!
