I’ve reached two milestones.
This blog has surpassed 6000 hits.
Last week we initiated a new Facebook site: “Internal Affairs
Institute.” This is intended to be a
forum for a discussion of issues, questions, and trends in administrative
investigations for public safety officers.
The ‘Institute’ is an outgrowth of professional activities
of the Legal and Liability Risk Management Institute of the Public Agency
Training Council. PATC currently
provides law enforcement and fire service personnel with over 1000 seminars
each year. Many officers attend on their
own nickel and PATC has strived to keep the cost and locations of these
seminars to encourage that level of personal commitment.
LLRMI, on the other hand, has been active with risk
insurance pools and provides technical support, policy development and agency
audits for these customers. We have
on-going retainers with these pools in 14 states. Three years ago we established the Internal
Affairs Institute (ia@patc.com). The Institute offers a national Certificate
for IA/OPS Investigators/Supervisors.
Over 250 professionals have challenged the process successfully and
currently have been awarded this prestigious award.
The new Facebook site “Internal Affairs Institute” will
provide another link to the activities of PATC in this essential task for law
enforcement. With the recent events in
Ferguson, the public and governmental watchdogs will further scrutinize this
task and question our ability to conduct these types of investigations in an
impartial manner.
I welcome you to visit the new Facebook page and “like” us
if it meets your expectations.
