In this position, Mr. Laney developed a series of National Law Enforcement Training programs that are offered throughout the country today. More than 15,000 law enforcement personnel have participated in these training programs since 1982. Mr. Laney has received numerous awards from local and State law enforcement organizations for his work in juvenile law enforcement. Prior to coming to OJJDP, Mr. Laney was a Program Manager in the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration for 5 years. His professional experience also includes being a Probation Officer in St. Petersburg, Florida. Mr. Laney served in the U.S. Marine Corps from 1964 to 1970 before being wounded during his second tour in Vietnam.

He was also a core faculty member of the Eastern European Children’s Mental Health Salvation.  He was a diplomate in clinical and family psychology with the American Board of Professional Psychology. His position at the Mayo Clinic included clinical practice with maltreated children and their families, forensic evaluations, supervision and training, as well as programmatic research in the areas of child and adolescent sexual behavior, the validity of assessment with maltreated and traumatized children, and the function of family environment features in parent-child relations on the short-term and longer-term adjustment of sexually aggressive children. He is the author of 145 papers and chapters; eight books, including the unpublished Treating Sexualized Behavior in Children: A Treatment Manual; and more than a dozen short stories.
