ASSOCIATION PERSPECTIVE
DIANE SCANGA
Big Things Ahead CHANGE IS CONSTANT AND SCARY, AND IT’S HOW WE GROW.
DEAR FELLOW FBINAA MEMBERS,
D
uring the FBINAA reception in San Diego at this year’s International Association of Chiefs of Police conference, I had the privilege to greet more than 500 National Academy graduates and guests. The evening was full of stories, session reunions, and laughter. It made me pause to consider just how the Association has grown since 1988 when I attended the 154th session. The Executive Board and the Executive Office work very hard to make the Association a valuable affiliation, not just a résumé builder. The Executive Board Committees work to find meaningful benefits. Since I was elected to the Board in 2004, I have watched (and hopefully contributed to) the NAA’s growth from a relatively small alumni organization, with limited resources, personnel, and influence to the strongest law enforcement association today. We have also grown into a multi-million-dollar business. While this milestone is a spectacular accomplishment, we must recognize the responsibilities and challenges faced by the Association and its members. The Executive Office staff and Executive Board take these responsibilities to heart. For example, we have implemented an Executive Office Oversight Committee to have a more hands-on relationship with the office staff. Our ever-evolving IT project was, in part, a result of the chapter treasurers relating the inadequacies of the old system. The Board and the Executive Office listened and now the treasurers have a system that they can work with. Likewise, the members indicated that they lacked communication with the Office and the Board members. So now the NAA Website is more user-friendly. We also have a secure social media site, The Network, for members only that houses all the chapter pages, many session pages, and allows our special interest groups to network in a secure environment and share ideas and experiences. In addition, we have the monthly e-mail newsletters. The Board also now conducts monthly conference calls, instead of waiting to discuss Association matters only three times a year at Board Meetings. Finally, the new NAA mobile app can keep you connected. You wanted communication, by golly, you’ve got communication. All this means change. Yep, I said it, change—something that is constant but dreaded. There have been a great deal of changes this year; the most talked about, most speculated about change is also one of the most challenging responsibilities we had to address, our move. The majority of the office functions moved to Stafford (on Garrisonville Road right out the back gate) in May. The office staff did a fantastic job maintaining the office’s functionality during the packing, moving,
set-up, and the building of a new NAA store. We have adjusted to having two staffers—Becky Storm and Angela Colona—remain at the FBI Academy (near the auditorium) while the rest of the staff—Steve Tidwell, Laura Masterton, Nell Cochran, Christie Glinski, and Liz Seal—moved to the new digs. The new office and store are working out very well. But there are new challenges and opportunities to explore. We have a four-year lease at the Garrisonville Road location, so the question now is how do we want to grow as an Association? The Working Space Committee is exploring the options, including building our own office to suit our needs. How we grow will be decided by you, the members. The question that is before you is: Are the chapters willing to support the Executive Office and the business of the National Academy Associates the way that the Executive Office has strived to support the individual members and chapters? The move to our new location on Garrisonville Road means we are now responsible for $80,000 a year in rent, communications equipment, insurance, lights, electricity, and other operating expenses. That’s the disadvantage to the move. The advantage is that we, as an Association, can now build our program without space or accessibility restrictions. Chapters have the opportunity to work with the Executive Office to meet these challenges, to change the thought process from “How will this decision impact our Chapter?” to “How will this decision impact the Association?” We are a team, a team of law enforcement professionals, a team of FBINA graduates, a team of FBINAA members. A team succeeds when the players work for the good of all. The newest change is our new Executive Director. As I write this article, we are preparing to interview the finalists. I know that with the caliber of the applicants we have a very bright future. More change? Absolutely. Embrace it, be a part of it, and let me know how you think we are doing. Happy holidays and a safe new year. ■ F B I N A A Sincerely,
Diane Scanga Diane Scanga, 2012 President

Motorists traveling on U.S. Route 60 in Mesa, Ariz., were horrified one evening last May when they saw a young child walk into the path of oncoming traffic. Several pulled over to try to coax the child to the shoulder as cars swerved around him. They didn’t know that the 9-year-old, Au-Juna BanksTaylor, was a child with autism but noticed he covered his ears when they shouted at him. Unfortunately, the driver of a Chevy S-10 pickup truck did not see the boy until his vehicle struck and killed him. Several weeks later the parents of a 4-year-old boy with autism, Aiden Bower, tucked their son into bed at their home in Holiday, Fla. When they checked on him an hour later, the window screen in his bedroom had been pushed open. Aiden was gone. His body was later found at the bottom of a neighbor’s swimming pool. The next month, a 5-year-old Madison, Wis., boy with autism, Jeremiah Conn, was reported missing from a relative’s home in Stoughton. His shoes were spotted at the edge of a retention pond. Jeremiah had also drowned. The number of children with autism in the United States has skyrocketed, with one in every 88 children coping with autism and related disorders. At the same time, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC), has seen another disturbing trend: a spike in the number of these children wandering away from safe environments with grave consequences.
HARM’S WAY While many people know that adults suffering from Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia can wander off, they don’t realize that many children with special needs, especially the severely afflicted, often exhibit similar behaviors. Nearly half of children with autism will repeatedly try to wander away from safe environments, according to the Interactive Autism Network. In many cases, they bolt to something they have fi xated on such as a body of water, a highway sign, or a train, increasingly with deadly consequences. Searching for these children poses significant challenges to law enforcement officers because they often exhibit behaviors not seen in unaffected children. Many are nonverbal and therefore unable to respond to searchers. Some are sensitive to sound, and yelling out the child’s name or using search dogs, ATVs, or helicopters may drive them further away. They can exhibit a diminished sense of fear, causing them to engage in high-risk behavior. They often seek out small enclosed spaces, which may be overlooked during initial searches. Although many runaway children with special needs can fall into harm’s way quickly, they can also be very resilient. In some cases, children have been found safely many days after being reported missing and many miles away. A 15-year-old boy with autism ran out of a children’s hospital in Chicago during a visit there with his father in June. He was spotted two days later—and 25 miles away—by a woman who recognized him from the media coverage. Another child with autism, Robbie Wood Jr., 8, wandered away from his family in October 2011 while visiting a densely forested park in Hanover County, Va. More than 6,000 volunteers searched for the child until he was found alive in a drainage ditch six days later. He was lethargic and suffering from the elements but in remarkably good health.

WHEN AUTISTIC KIDS RUN AWAY FROM HOME, THEY PRESENT LAW ENFORCEMENT WITH A SET OF UNIQUE CHALLENGES. J O H N RYA N
FIRST RESPONSE After Robbie Wood was safely recovered, Robert Lowery, senior executive director of NCMEC’s Missing Children Division, and his staff met with representatives of autism organizations, health professionals, and search-and-rescue experts 12 N O V E M B E R / D E C E M B E R 2 0 1 2

to see what more could be done to find these children safely when they are reported missing. They devised a “Response Guide for Law Enforcement” (www.missingkids.com) with protocols and checklists to help call takers and first responders navigate the unique challenges. NCMEC considers runaway children with special needs to be critically missing and deploys Team Adam, a rapid-response corps of highly trained, retired law enforcement officers, to assist law enforcement on the scene, says Lowery, a former assistant police chief in Missouri. Because so many of the fatalities are due to drowning, first responders should immediately search nearby bodies of water and attempt to contain the child in a specific area, he adds. “You can’t treat a child with special needs as a conventional runaway,” says Lee Manning, a former incident commander in tactical operations for Massachusetts State Police and a veteran Team Adam consultant who has been deployed on many of these cases, including the Robbie Wood incident. “You have to get the right resources in there fast.” According to Lowery, one of the most important steps for first responders is to listen intently to the parents or caregivers to learn their child’s specific behaviors and where he or she might try to go. Important questions to ask the parents or caregivers include: How will the child likely react to searchers? Will the child hide? Will he or she run? Is the child verbal or nonverbal? To whom will the child most likely respond? Does he or she need life-sustaining medications? A reporter and his cameraman covering the disappearance of a 7-year-old boy with autism in Australia in February took action when they were told the child was attracted to water. They headed to a nearby creek, where they saw the child, waist deep and clutching reeds to stay afloat. While the reporter filmed, the cameraman jumped into the fast-moving water and rescued the child, who had shed his clothing. “With increased awareness about autism and quick response to these cases, we can bring more of these children home safely,” says Nancy McBride, NCMEC’s national safety director. “I didn’t realize what these parents are dealing with on a day-to-day basis.”

UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS Autism is a spectrum disorder, and no two children are alike. First responders need to tailor their searches around the unique characteristics of each child. For example, when an 8-year-old boy in Twin Peaks, Calif., had been missing more than 24 hours in September 2011, sheriff’s deputies used loud speakers to blast the music of Ozzy Osbourne in the search area. They played the boy’s favorite songs, including Osbourne’s “No More Tears.” It worked: out he popped up from behind a bush. Searchers have also been known to grill hot dogs and hamburgers, hoping the aroma will lure a hungry child out of hiding, or if a search continues into the night, set out bedding with a favorite stuffed animal. If a child is obsessed with fire trucks, bringing a fire truck to the scene might draw out the child. Six-year-old Christian Baucom was fascinated by hogs. Christian, who had autism and was nonverbal, was reported missing by his foster parents the afternoon of March 27 of this year. They told searchers about the hogs on their property, so Missouri Highway Patrol drained a pond near the hog pen. Divers discovered his body the next day. His twin brother, Jason, also a child with autism, had drowned in another pond seven months before. Lori McIlwain, executive director of the National Autism w w w.f b i n a a.o r g

Divers found the body of 6-year-old Christian Baucom at the bottom of a hog pond 200 yards from his house.
Savannah would be transfixedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;she loved watching the noodles swirl round and roundâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Martin thought it would give her enough time to run upstairs and use the bathroom. In less time than it took to cook the noodles, Savannah was gone, along with her 2-year-old brother who had been with his 11-year-old sibling earlier. Martin frantically searched the house and ran to a neighborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for help. Then she heard her eldest scream, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the pond!â&#x20AC;? Thankfully, her 2-year-old was wearing a bike helmet, which kept him afloat. She spotted Savannahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sunday school dress floating in the water and hoped she had shed her clothing, as some children with autism often do. But it was Savannah. Her neighbor dove in and pulled her out. Martin began CPR, but it was too late. Losing Savannah was devastating enough. But then people began blaming her, saying she was
negligent. A posting on Facebook accused her of killing her daughter and said she should be in jail.
Active Wanderers Parents are frequently blamed when their children wander away from home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is looked at as bad parenting,â&#x20AC;? says McIlwain, whose organization was among those that successfully pushed for a medical diagnostic code for active wanderers. Among other things, having a formal code will classify tracking devices as medically necessary and reimbursable by insurance; combat the misconception that wandering is simply behavioral; and increase awareness of physicians, school administrators, and others. Martin said the only way she was able to cope with the death of her daughter and the accusations that she was to blame was through emotional support from the autism community. Now she has joined NCMECâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Team HOPE, a support group that helps other parents whose children are missing or exploited. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening so much,â&#x20AC;? says Martin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I take every story personally.

individuals in the criminal justice system can recognize a good leader, they have a hard time explaining what makes a leader different from a non-leader. Over the past century, scholars within the criminal justice discipline have offered a plethora of definitions for leadership that generally are ambiguous and generalized. For example, IACP Training Bulletin 1 published this year states, “There are more than 250 definitions of leadership.” Generic leadership texts outside of law enforcement provide additional insight into defining what makes a good leader. In the “Handbook of Leadership” by Bernard M. Bass and Ralph M. Stogdill, you will find such generic definitions as “leadership is the art of motivating a group of people to act toward achieving a common goal.” The point is that leadership is a phenomenon that defies a common definition. Leadership is an internal “something” unique to each individual that is often cultivated by a specific situation. In essence we each develop our own definition of leadership and our own ideal of what a leader is.
★ JAMES J. NESS
Management and Leadership
M
ost often leadership is mistaken for management. In the early 20th century, leadership styles were developed by such notables in the discipline of organizational management as Kurt Lewin, Ronald Lippit, and Ralph White who viewed leadership style as an interaction continuum ranging from people-centered to task-centered managerial behavior. Leadership in 21st century policing can be made quite simple by following a few easy lessons learned over the past century from our predecessors. First and foremost, 21st-century police leaders must distinguish themselves from the managerial role and remember the simple saying that managers do things right; leaders do the right thing. Today’s law enforcement leaders must also remember that managers administer and leaders innovate, managers are copies; leaders are original. Where managers focus on structure, systems, and process; leaders focus on people. And lastly, while managers rely on control, leaders inspire trust. It is important to understand that leadership is intangible and how people perceive you determines how they relate to you. As a leader you must always remember that leadership doesn’t change who you are, it reveals who you are.
Enhancing Personal Power
T
here are several factors that will determine your leadership style. Probably first and foremost are your personal values and inclinations. Another is how much confidence you have in your officers to do their job. Confidence exudes trust. Risk-taking in the sense of being innovative and forward thinking will also determine your leadership style and enhance your personal power. As 21st-century leaders, graduates of the FBI National Academy will be in a unique position to influence police trends for the next few generations. So how does one do that? The following is a list of some things you can do to enhance your personal power as a leader and influence the next generation of police officers. ★ Be subtle, but firm in your convictions
★ Solicit input about expectations from your subordinates ★ Acknowledge what employees have done ★ Make a long-term commitment ★ Let subordinates get involved and balance risk with trust ★ Recognize mistakes will occur ★ Keep them informed ★ Focus on Management Actions ★ Provide subordinates with clear directions It is also important to remember that leadership styles will vary according to the amount of support and encouragement you as a leader provide and by the amount of your officers’ involvement in problem-solving and decision-making. One must also be aware of the officers under your tutelage and their demonstrated level of ability and willingness to do the tasks at hand.
Essential Competencies
T
o understand the dynamics of leadership, you must be aware that there are several competencies that are essential to any police leader. These competencies include communications and related interpersonal competencies, motivational competencies, ethical decision-making and problem-solving competencies, planning and organizing competencies, and actuation-implementation competencies. Let’s take a look at the two most critical competencies of

CHALLENGE exert persistent effort in attaining a goal. Motivation results from the interactions the leader has with others. Here are some things to remember about motivation. ★ Motivation provides the reason for a course of action ★ Motivational skills are vital for success as a leader ★ A leader must consider intrinsic as well as extrinsic motivators ★ A leader must maintain a proper attitude (mental commitment) and consider individual differences

any good leader: communication and motivation. Communication is the key to all interpersonal relationships. Police officers spend a majority of their time communicating with a variety of constituencies. As a leader you spend most of your time communicating your ideas and directions to subordinates as well as those outside of your organization. Good communication skills require a high level of selfawareness. By understanding your personal style of communicating you can create lifelong impressions on others. By being attentive to how others perceive you, you can adapt more readily to their styles of communicating. This does not mean you have to change your style with every individual you interact with. The objective is to make another person comfortable with you by choosing and highlighting behaviors that fit your personality and get your message across to them. To ensure that you are conveying the message you want to convey, you must be aware of what the communication entails. Written communications are different than spoken communications. One-on-one conversations will differ from meetings or working with teams or task forces. And public speaking, whether to an audience or to media, presents special challenges. Motivation is the combination of internal and external factors that stimulate the desire and energy to keep people continually interested in and committed to a job or subject and to
raditional police training develops skills and practices that lead to problem-solving. Police must solve problems ranging in scope from simple disputes to major investigations. Such problem-solving involves quantitative and qualitative data and analysis. But before we can analyze the data, we need to have a plan to gather the data. As a leader probably the most critical problem-solving skill is the ability to collaborate. Policing is more often than not a group effort to solve not only internal problems but community problems. So leaders must develop skills to work with diverse groups to solve community problems, but to do so they have to identify the problems and then analyze them. The following is a list of issues that can inhibit problem-solving: ★ Lack of training ★ Lack of technological support ★ Lack of leadership ★ Lack of legitimacy ★ Confusion ★ Lack of clearly defined goals ★ Lack of effective outcome assessment ★ Lack of resources

olicing in the 21st century will become more demanding and delicate, as new issues and problems create challenges for police leadership. The dynamics of police work have changed considerably in the past few decades. The line between good guys and bad guys has blurred, and society in general has become more violence prone and disrespectful of authority. These factors have caused officers to react with greater force to defend themselves and control suspects. Consequently, lawsuits have become more prevalent. All of these changes have resulted in a never-ending cycle of concerns such as discretion, police misconduct, and racial profiling for law enforcement leaders to deal with. Another issue in the 21st century so far has been limited resources. Operating a police agency with limited and antiquated technology because of limited financial resources is one of the greatest challenges faced by contemporary police leadership. Policing in the 21st century is not easy and in order to stay in tune with modern society and the new normal, today’s police leaders must adapt and overcome to truly lead their agencies in this new millennium. ■ F B I N A A

aybe you thought that a college education could wait while you started your law enforcement career and family. And then life happened and time went by. You may think you can’t achieve this goal anymore but you can. This year may be the best time for you to work toward completing your formal education with the assistance of the FBINAA Academic Partners. The Partners will help you remain competitive in today’s job market by assisting in your formal education. Pursuing an advanced degree can be an asset for your future career development. You know that it is difficult to begin a law enforcement career these days without any formal education in today’s market. It is even harder to earn any kind of promotion without at least a bachelor’s degree, and it is very common for agencies to require an advanced degree for a candidate to even be considered for promotion. Postings for police chiefs often specify an advanced degree as a requirement. You attended the FBI National Academy and were re-introduced to participating in classes, taking exams, studying, researching, and writing papers. It may not be such a difficult transition for you to continue your momentum and go to college or graduate school. The Academy offered you an opportunity to get back into a school setting, and now the associates are giving all members the opportunity to further their educations through our Academic Partners. With the help of Laura Masterson, the associates have acquired 14 schools
as academic partners, including University of Phoenix, American Military University, Bethel University, Kaplan University, Lewis University, University of
Oklahoma, Walden University, Capella University, Colorado Technical University, Herzing University, St. Leo University, St. Cloud University, Trident University, and Upper Iowa University. You can learn more about each university and what it has to offer at FBINAA.Org. They all provide discounts for FBINAA members and some even extend the discount to your family members. Scholarships are available at many of these schools. An added bonus of the FBINAA Academic Partners program is that several of the universities are willing to assist with chapter events by providing instructors to present topics relevant to law enforcement.

THE HISTORIAN’S SPOTLIGHT
Cold Case Investigator LT. PAUL ECHOLS OF THE CARBONDALE POLICE DEPARTMENT SOLVED MULTIPLE MURDER CASES LONG AFTER OTHERS HAD GIVEN UP.
I
T’S OFTEN BEEN SAID that “things ain’t always as they
seem” and “persistence pays off.” These two old-fashioned sayings could serve as the motto for retired Carbondale, Ill., police lieutenant and FBI National Academy alumnus (Session 188) Paul Echols. Echols began his career with the Carbondale PD in 1981 as a patrol officer following his graduation from Southern Illinois University with a degree in technical careers. Because of his interest in technology and science, Echols became the Carbondale PD’s crime scene specialist in 1986. He was promoted to sergeant in 1993 and lieutenant in 2007. After serving most of his career in investigations, Echols retired in 2009 as commander of the investigations division. He graduated from Session 188 of the National Academy in March 1997.
THE SCHUMAKE CASE In 2006, then Sgt. Echols achieved the crowning moment in his career. Working with Jackson County prosecutors, he won a guilty verdict in the Susan Schumake murder case. That conviction was at least partially the result of Echols’ persistence and his belief that “things aren’t always the way they seem.” Schumake was an SIU student who was raped and then strangled to death on campus in 1981, the same year that Echols was sworn in as a law enforcement officer. And Echols worked the Schumake case off and on for 15 years of his career.
Most investigators on the Schumake murder case pinned the crime on a local serial killer named John Paul Phillips. Phillips was convicted in 1986 of another killing and died seven years later of natural causes while awaiting execution on Illinois’ death row. Most people thought Phillips’ death closed the Schumake case. But Echols wasn’t sure. And he wanted to make sure that someone was pursuing justice for the murdered Schumake. Unfortunately, for years he did not have the technology to confirm his suspicions. Then in 2001 rapid advances in DNA sampling technology gave Echols the tools that he needed to prove his suspicions. He was able to get a court order to exhume Phillips and collect DNA evidence. That evidence cleared Phillips and pointed toward another suspect: Daniel Woloson, a 44-year-old convicted burglar, who was living in the Detroit area. Michigan authorities were able to acquire a cigarette butt from a car Woloson had previously owned, and that resulted in a DNA match. Echols traveled to Detroit and personally arrested the suspect. He was convicted two years later. Woloson is now serving 40 years—the maximum allowed under Illinois law—in a state penitentiary. More than 25 years after the murder, Echols had been instrumental in achieving justice for Schumake. “But for the diligence and determination of Sgt. Paul Echols, this case would never have seen the light of day,” a Jackson County prosecutor told the Associated Press at the time of the conviction. “He deserves a tremendous amount of credit for bringing Mr. Woloson to justice.”
THE KRAJCIR CASE
Lt. Paul Echols
A year later Echols was promoted to lieutenant and appointed commander of the Carbondale PD’s Investigations Unit. Although his new duties kept him busy, he was motivated by his success in the Susan Schumake case to reopen another cold case: the murder of SIU student Deborah Sheppard. The Sheppard case had—like the Schumake case—remained on Echols’ mind long after it had been categorized as cold. For years, he had tried to obtain DNA evidence from the limited genetic material obtained at the scene. Believing that the latest technology held the key to solving the case, Echols consulted with his friend Illinois State Police DNA expert Taylor Scott. Scott recommended a new mini-STR DNA process being tested by the ISP and offered at that time by a private lab in California. Echols was preparing for a trip to California when he decided to ask ISP forensic scientist Suzanne Kidd to take another look at a shirt collected at the Sheppard crime scene in 1982. Amazingly, Kidd found a minute semen stain that had been overlooked 25 years earlier. Kidd obtained a partial DNA profile from the stain and entered it into the Illinois DNA database. The search resulted in a match with Timothy W. Krajcir, an inmate in the Illinois Department of Corrections.

The DNA match led to a major investigation into the preprison activities of Krajcir. Echols worked closely with the Cape Girardeau (Mo.) Police Department and discovered five more cold case murders committed by the serial killer. Knowing he was facing a death penalty, Krajcir agreed to confess all his crimes to Echols and Cape Girardeau detective Jimmy Smith. The confession included dozens of sexual assaults and nine murders in four states— Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania—between 1977 and 1983. Krajcir also confessed to an attempted murder in Mt. Vernon, Ill., for which another man had been wrongfully convicted and eventually died in prison as an innocent man. Krajcir ironically received a bachelor’s degree in administration of justice from SIU. He also worked on the Jackson County Ambulance Service, which served the Carbondale area and was credited with saving lives and thought of as a friend by those he had worked with on the ambulance. Echols was able to establish a rapport with Krajcir during their many interviews and was told of Krajcir’s attempts to analyze his own problems through the many psychology classes he took in college.
COLLEGE PROFESSOR Today, Echols serves as a full-time criminal justice instructor for Shawnee Community College in Ullin, Ill., and as a parttime instructor at his alma mater SIU. There he trains the law enforcement officers of the future and shares with them his acquired knowledge and experience. During his career with the Carbondale PD, Echols attended hundreds of hours of classes dealing with forensic evidence
and crime scene analysis. He draws on that training and his real-world experience for his lectures. And he even gives presentations to active duty police officers. Echols has a PowerPoint presentation consisting of more than 200 photos, illustrations, and video clips that he uses to inform others about the cases he worked, methods employed, and tips for working cold cases. Echols presented this PowerPoint lecture during a National Academy re-trainer in June 2010 sponsored by the Railsplitter Divison of the Illinois Chapter in Decatur. He credits much of his success to his training at the FBI Academy. Echols is now just a seemingly mild-mannered college professor, but those students fortunate to attend his classes realize very quickly that “things ain’t always as they seem” and appreciate that “persistence pays off,” especially when working cold cases. This article is a highly condensed version of the career of Lt. Paul Echols and does not give credit to many of the excellent investigators who worked with Echols in solving these cases. Echols gives full credit to the many outstanding investigators and agencies he had the privilege to work with in his career.

Side Plank
HE TAKE-HOME MESSAGE of this article is the importance
of sweat equity. In order to achieve sweat equity, we will go hands-on with our favorite modalities in the gym and these will lay a foundation of fitness that every law enforcement officer needs. I call this program “manual labor” because it is a hands-on regimen that emphasizes the strength and conditioning people use in blue-collar jobs. My parents never told me how to live; they showed me how to live through their actions. “You need to outwork everybody else” was one of the lessons that I took from their actions, and it drives me daily. That’s why the manual labor fitness program demands that you work and work hard. Your goal is not to get fit fast but to progress steadily and develop long-term fitness while improving along the health continuum. As you progress in this fitness program, keep in mind your individual goals and tactical considerations, and try to give maximum effort at all times. I tell my students to redefine the grind on their journey here at the Academy. We all have been blessed with the ability to train, and our quality of life is defined by the questions we ask and the capacity to stay fit through manual labor, which is another word for exercise. The following is a good set of exercises to perform in your manual labor program. 4x4—Use any four exercises in our pillar model such as pull/ push, rotation, mobility/stability, and changing levels. Exercise for 30 seconds and then rest for 15 seconds for four
Split Squat
rounds. Then move on to the next drill. Determine total rounds by quality not quantity of movement. Example: • Dumbbell Lawnmower—right arm/left arm/repeat/repeat • Band Rotation—right arm/left arm/repeat/repeat • Side Plank—left/right/repeat/repeat • Split Squat—left/right/repeat/repeat 10x10x10—10 seconds of push-ups followed by 10 seconds of rest in the front leaning rest position. Fifth Quarter—The goal is one of our pillars and one mat drill for 60 seconds. Alternate every 10 to 15 seconds between these two drills and stay busy for the entire time. Repeat if necessary. Example: • Push-Up with Jacknife—Bring both legs to the hands and return to a front leaning rest • Band Pull with Spiderman Crawl • Kettlebell Deadlift with Hip Under • Dumbbell Rotational Press with Mountain Climber Edward J.

MESSAGE FROM OUR CHAPLAIN
B I L LY G I B S O N
Lost and Found GOD REJOICES WHEN WE FIND OUR WAY BACK HOME.
H
AVE YOU EVER BEEN LOST? I mean really lost.
Well, it happens to all of us every now and then. Trust me, as we grow older it seems to happen more often. The time I most remember being lost goes all the way back to my youth. I was an avid squirrel hunter and at least a couple of days a week when I got home from school, I would take my trusty single-shot .22 rifle and head for the woods. Not far from our farm was a large tract of woods covering several thousand acres and extending over the South Carolina border into North Carolina. I had hunted it so much I was convinced that I knew my way around. On this particular afternoon, I had good luck and had several squirrels in my hunting jacket. The sun was going down and I decided it was time to head for home. But the farther I walked, the less I recognized the terrain that I was traveling. I finally reached a roadway around 9 p.m. and still had no idea where I was. A farmer came by in a truck and informed me that I was in North Carolina, about 4 miles away from where I had started hunting. I was definitely lost. But then I was found and returned to my vehicle. There are many ways we can find ourselves lost. We get lost when we take the wrong turn on a highway. We get lost in a crowd, lost in the airport, in the mall, and the list can just go on and on. But there are other ways we can get lost. We may lose our concentration when we are distracted. We may lose sight of our goals in life. We may lose our dignity, pride, selfesteem, the desire to do our jobs, or respect, all of which can lead to a loss of employment, family and/or friends, and possibly our lives. Being lost in modern times is not good but I can share with you that being lost in biblical times was no better. Jesus was aware of this problem and used many illustrations to point out the importance placed on finding the lost. In Luke Chapter 15 we learn the emphasis Jesus placed on finding the lost. This chapter is sometimes referred to as the “Lost and Found Column,” as it consists of three parables, all dealing with something lost being found. The first parable deals with lost sheep. A shepherd had 100 sheep and one was lost. He left the 99 in the open field and went to search for the one that was lost until he found it. Then he called his friends and neighbors together rejoicing over the one lost sheep that was found. This illustrates the value God puts on a single life just as the shepherd did on the single lost sheep. The second parable concerns a lost coin. A woman had 10 silver coins and lost one. She lit a lamp and swept her house until she found it. Then she called her friends and neighbors together to rejoice because she had found her lost coin. It’s interesting to note here that the coin is a piece of silver, an inanimate object that didn’t know it was lost, so it had no concern. It
was lost by the person entrusted to care for it in the very house it was kept. I think this clearly points out that there can be times that we do not know our lost condition, even though we think we are doing all the right things. The same can be true of our family members and/or friends. When we notice negative changes in their lives that they may not be aware of, we should take the initiative to assist them in every way possible to regain whatever character trait they may have lost. The final parable refers to a lost son. A man had two sons who worked his farm with him. The younger son requested his share of the estate, so the father divided the property between them. The younger son got together all he had and set off for a distant country where he squandered his wealth on wild living. Then there was a famine in that entire country, and the son got a job feeding pigs, even eating the same food as the pigs. When he came to his senses, he realized how good he had it when he was home. Knowing he was not worthy and his family might not accept him, he decided to return home to face the music. But his father saw him at a great distance and had compassion for him. He ran to meet him, threw his arms around him, and kissed him. He instructed his servants to kill the fatted calf for a feast and to put the best robe on him and a ring on his finger. He declared that his son was dead and is alive again. He was lost and now is found. It’s kind of amazing when you compare these three parables. The shepherd went looking for the lost sheep and the lady searched the house until she found the lost coin. Nobody went looking for the lost son. Only when he had squandered his inheritance and ended up in a pig pen did he come to his senses and return to his father. His father welcomed him back home with open arms, compassion, and love. I believe the message here is for all of us. There are many times in life we walk away from God, as the son did his father. We find ourselves ashamed, embarrassed, and disappointed. We feel we have gone beyond forgiveness. Let me assure you this is not the case. Just as the father welcomed back his son so will God welcome you back home. ■ F B I N A A
