Certified Paralegal Diane Boyd of the Virginia Beach Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office was an instructor at the 2010 Commonwealth of Virginia Extradition Training Seminar August 4 and 5, 2010 in Richmond, Virginia.
With the assistance of Certified Paralegal Constance Gaylor, Boyd addressed over 100 seminar attendees including prosecutors, police officers, sheriffs, and other members of law enforcement agencies in Virginia. Boyd’s first presentation, entitled “The Life Cycle of a Fugitive,” outlined the extradition process from the commission of a crime in a particular jurisdiction to the return of the defendant to that jurisdiction. She also concluded the seminar with a presentation detailing the Interstate Witness Compact. In addition to remarks by Boyd, the seminar included the remarks and experiences of Secretary of Public Safety Marla Decker, Secretary of the Commonwealth Janet V. Polarek, U.S. Marshal Kevin Trevillian, Senior Assistant Attorney General Mark Davis, and other officials.
Boyd has over 20 years of experience handling extradition matters at the Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office, and Gaylor has been assisting for the past 3 years.
“Last year there were 233 fugitives extradited back to Virginia Beach, and 131 fugitives arrested in Virginia Beach,” Commonwealth’s Attorney Harvey Bryant said. “Thanks to Diane Boyd, my office is recognized state-wide for its expertise in extradition matters.”
