t is hard to believe that nearly a year has passed and the end of the trail is in sight. However, where one trail ends another begins. There are actually several new trails to speak of and the first and most important one leads to the 99th Annual Conference. This year a new venue is in store and I hope you have already registered but if not there is still time. Our Conference will be in Camp Hill this year and has something for everyone. As always our Executive Director, Amy and Staff have been very busy finalizing the training, meetings, exhibitors event, social gatherings and of course, our Installation Banquet. We are all expecting exciting new experiences and I hope to see you there.

In this, my last President’s Letter, I would like to take the opportunity to offer my thanks to all who have worked so diligently this year and made it such a rewarding experience. Many of the li h h past year would not have come to fruition if it wasn’t for our Staff. Executive Director Amy Rosenberry accomplishments over the has dedicated countless hours to making the VTN not only a reality, but a huge success. She has proven time and time again that her resourcefulness is virtually unlimited. Over 5,600 officers have registered to use the VTN and free means just that, a benefit we can all use in challenging economic times.

Our Officers and Executive Board continue to move forward with our Strategic Plan and are currently focusing on the Communications aspect and how to better deliver information to all of our members. We have learned that versatility plays a major role in communicating with members. Some like information printed, some like email, some members prefer social media and no matter what way the message arrives, what is important is making sure it gets there.

The Accreditation Commission remains very busy and we have several new agencies who will achieve accreditation at our conference along with many departments that have been re-accredited. I wish to congratulate all those agencies that are going to be recognized for their achievement.

Members of the Legislative Committee continue to keep all of us apprised of what is on the horizon and that Legislators know our collective opinion and views. The Membership and By Laws Committee have also been very busy, with an abundance of new members joining as a result of the VTN, and are commended on a job well done. Finally, our Education and Training Committee have been busy planning for our Conference and I am looking forward to the top notch information that will be available this year.

It has been a busy year and I am thankful and humbled by the experience and the opportunity to serve as President. I wish to especially thank my good friend and Chairman of the Board, Dan Kortan, for his wisdom, insight and friendship. Dan, job well done and thanks for always listening and for your valued opinions. I am leaving the Association in the knowledgeable and very good hands of our Vice Presidents, Executive Board and incoming President John Mackey. John, best wishes and may your term be as fulfilling and enjoyable as the time I served.

In closing, I wish to thank the love of my life, my wife Janet, for always listening and being my best friend and biggest supporter.

Thanks for packing up and making the trips whether you wanted to or not, you never said no and always made sure I was prepared. I am so proud of my children, Tom and Jennifer and all their accomplishments this year. My family has my thanks, love and support in all they do.

Hoping to see everyone at the 99th Annual Conference,

Tom DiMaria President

(;(&87,9( ',5(&725·6 0(66$*( several readers certainly know, this is PCPA’s favorite time of the year – Conference A sTime!!!

This issue of the Bulletin is full of reasons to register, memories from past conferences and all of the excitement you can expect this year at our new location in Harrisburg! The 2012 conference theme is Building Bridges, and although staff puts a lot of thought into the theme each and every year, we realize that conference themes don’t really matter a great deal – it’s more the conference itself, the schedule and members attending that make a conference a success. But this year’s theme seems to be very relevant and timely. In the past year, PCPA has built, crossed and begun construction on many important bridges. Technology, training, communications and partnerships have been the key paths affected by these well-constructed and sturdy bridges, leading us to a bright and productive future.

As you read through this magazine, you’ll find much information about many of these bridges…the PAVTN, our newest innovative, cost effective, and wildly successful online training network offering free training – essential and mandatory – for you and your officers; information and updates from our partner in training, MPOETC; and of course, the latest on our annual showcase – the 99th Education and Training Conference.

We urge each and every one of you to take part in all PCPA has to offer and cross these bridges along with us.

It is so very important that we continue to build these bridges, not only for the future, but also as a way of remembering the past and preserving that future. It is always important to be reminded of where we have come from and the long travelled roads behind us, especially with an Association that was built on such strong tradition. But, the key is to continue building, improving, maintaining and using those bridges so that we all may learn and benefit from crossing in to new territory, exploring new destinations and allowing others to come to us and discover the resources we have to offer here and from within our amazing membership.

I look forward to seeing you all in July and travelling these roads together as we Build Bridges to a better future of law enforcement in Pennsylvania. We’ll see you in Harrisburg!

All my best,

Amy K. Rosenberry Executive Director

The Chiefsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Legal Update Provided by Chris Boyle, Esq. and reprinted with permission from Marshall, Dennehey, Warner, Coleman & Goggin

One of the more frequent requests for information and policy review we receive from law enforcement, concerns strip and body cavity searches. This is especially true when there is a new case on the subject, such is the case last month (March 2012) involving Florence v Board of Chosen Freeholders, a United states Supreme Court case addressing blanket strip search policies for jails and prisons.

I was therefore asked if now would be a good time to review and reissue a memorandum from a few years back, regarding Pennsylvania law, and recommendations for strip search policies.

While this memorandum has been prepared with civil liability in mind, this is one of those instances where the criminal and civil law overlap to a great extent, and where a comprehensive policy will aid you both in protecting your Department from civil liability, and assist in the criminal prosecution of those you arrest.

Included is a discussion of the law, followed by some points that we suggest you incorporate into your policy, and some that we recommend you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Finally, there are excerpts from the Florence case, along with my comments, that first appeared in a recent â&#x20AC;&#x153;Legal Updates for Law Enforcementâ&#x20AC;?.

675,3 6($5&+(6 9(5686 %2'< &$9,7< 6($5&+(6 Strip searches are visual inspections of the private parts and/or undergarments by having the subject remove some or all of their clothing, or moving it, to allow inspection. Cavity searches are a separate matter, requiring probable cause and a warrant. Cavity searches should only be performed by a physician and should not be equated with a strip search.

675,3 6($5&+ 32/,&< Police departments should have a strip search policy. Strip searches, if handled properly, are like any other Department policies in terms of liability. To minimize risk of lawsuits, departments should have a proper policy, train in the policy, document the training in the policy, and periodically review and update the policy. Without such a policy, it is only a matter of time until a suit presents.

7+( &855(17 67$7( 2) 7+( /$: A policy that allows, or requires, every prisoner to be strip searched is per se UNCONSTITUTIONAL. There are no exceptions. While the Florence case is a major development for Corrections officials, it should not be read as applying to Police Department holding cells. The case is not written that broadly.

Different standards apply for strip searches of individuals in custody, versus those who are only being investigated. If the individual is not under arrest, there are only three circumstances where you may conduct a strip search: 1. They have consented to the search. A written consent is highly recommended under these circumstances.

2. You have a warrant.

3. There are exigent circumstances that warrant an immediate Page

strip search. As always, the officer must be able to articulate the specific exigent circumstances that warrant it. Courts look at such cases with a great deal of suspicion.

See Good v Dauphin County Social Services, 891 F.2d 1087, 1092 (3d Cir. 1989). See also Reppert v. Kummerer, 2006 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 64331 (ED. Pa. 2006) Where the person is under arrest, strip searches of arrestees in Pennsylvania require reasonable suspicion, at a minimum. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Reasonable suspicionâ&#x20AC;? coupled with articulable, objective facts and reasonable inferences derived there from are required before a strip search may be justifiedâ&#x20AC;? Deborah El v Williams 1990 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 6045 (E.D. Pa.) An officer must have specific and articulable facts that lead them to believe that the person to be searched possesses weapons or contraband. The fact that a person is arrested for a narcotics violation, by itself, does not provide the reasonable suspicion. The officer must be able to tell what other facts lead them to believe that narcotics, weapons or other contraband are present. Among the things that may lead to such a reasonable suspicion are: s 3TATEMENTS BY THE OFFENDER THAT THEY ARE HIDING SOMETHING inside their clothing. s 0RIOR ARRESTS OF THIS INDIVIDUAL THAT HAVE RESULTED IN contraband being found in their clothing. s /BSERVED ACTIONS OF OFFENDER WHERE IT APPEARS AS IF THEY HAVE secreted something on their person within their clothing. s 3UCH CONTRABAND FALLING OUT FROM BENEATH CLOTHING s 0RIOR NARCOTICS ARRESTS THIS ALONE WILL NOT BE SUFFICIENT BUT serves as another articulable fact). s #URRENT NARCOTICS ARREST AGAIN NOT SUFFICIENT BY ITSELF BUT may be one of the factors considered). s &URTIVE MOVEMENTS s "EHAVIOR INDICATING THE SUBJECT IS NERVOUS HEAVY BREATHING

inappropriate sweating, eyes darting, etc.).

List as many factors as there are. None are insignificant. While each of several indicators may be insufficient on its own, the combination may be enough. There must be more than â&#x20AC;&#x153;an inchoate and unparticularized suspicion or hunch.â&#x20AC;? See Garcia v United States, 913 F.Supp. 905 (E.D. Pa. 1996). In other words, your â&#x20AC;&#x153;spider senseâ&#x20AC;? alone, will not carry the day. Only your articulated reasonable suspicion, based on and reflecting your training and experience will suffice.

Strip searches, as all searches, must be done in a reasonable manner. By this, the Courts mean that they should be done privately, by a same sex officer, and as quickly as possible. Courts look upon strip searches as degrading and will not allow them to be done in a manner that does not recognize the nature of the search. To sum up, a strip search may not be â&#x20AC;&#x153;unreasonableâ&#x20AC;Ś arbitrary or purposelessâ&#x20AC;?. Bell v Wolfish, 441 U.S. 520, 539, 558 (1979).

www.pachiefs.org

Florence v. Bd. of Chosen Freeholders, 2012 U.S. LEXIS 2712 (US Supreme Court April 2, 2012) â&#x20AC;ŚThe Court has also recognized that deterring the possession of contraband depends in part on the ability to conduct searches without predictable exceptions. In Hudson v. Palmer, â&#x20AC;Ś, it addressed the question of whether prison officials could perform random searches of inmate lockers and cells even without reason to suspect a particular individual of concealing a prohibited item... The Court upheld the constitutionality of the practice, recognizing that â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;[f ]or one to advocate that prison searches must be conducted only pursuant to an enunciated general policy or when suspicion is directed at a particular inmate is to ignore the realities of prison operation.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;Ś Inmates would adapt to any pattern or loopholes they discovered in the search protocol and then undermine the security of the institution. â&#x20AC;Ś Persons arrested for minor offenses may be among the detainees processed at these facilities. This is, in part, a consequence of the exercise of state authority that was the subject of Atwater v. Lago Vista, â&#x20AC;Ś Atwater addressed the perhaps more fundamental question of who may be deprived of liberty and taken to jail in the first place. The case involved a woman who was arrested after a police officer noticed neither she nor her children were wearing their seatbelts. The arrestee argued the Fourth Amendment prohibited her custodial arrest without a warrant when an offense could not result in jail time and there was no compelling need for immediate detentionâ&#x20AC;ŚThe Court held that a Fourth Amendment restriction on this power would put officers in an â&#x20AC;&#x153;almost impossible spotâ&#x20AC;Ś. The Court rejected the proposition that the Fourth Amendment barred custodial arrests in a set of these cases as a matter of constitutional law.

It ruled, based on established principles, that officers may make an arrest based upon probable cause to believe the person has committed a criminal offense in their presence. â&#x20AC;Ś The Court stated that â&#x20AC;&#x153;a responsible Fourth Amendment balance is not well served by standards requiring sensitive, case-by-case determinations of government need, lest every discretionary judgment in the field be converted into an occasion for constitutional review.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;Ś People detained for minor offenses can turn out to be the most devious and dangerous criminals. ..

The restrictions suggested by petitioner would limit the intrusion on the privacy of some detainees but at the risk of increased danger to everyone in the facility, including the less serious offenders themselvesâ&#x20AC;Ś Even assuming all the facts in favor of petitioner, the search procedures at the Burlington County Detention Center and the Essex County Correctional Facility struck a reasonable balance between inmate privacy and the needs of the institutions.

Comment: Great case! Now the bad news: It does NOT mean that Police Departments can strip search everyone who comes through the door.

Metro Salutes Those Who Serve Honoring Veterans and Supporting Active Duty Military Love of country, high integrity and loyalty to serve are three traits shared by soldiers and police officers. The natural synergy between the two professions has made it very common for those who have served in the armed forces to move into careers in law enforcement.

The team at Metro Technology Services feels strongly about supporting those who serve our country. So Metro is starting a new initiative to honor police officers who are military veterans and to provide financial support for active duty military and their families.

To learn how you can assist in this effort, see the related article on the next page or visit www.metroalert.com/military.

In this article, we honor Chief Joe Daly of the Springfield Police Department, a Vietnam veteran. We will honor other police officers throughout the year who have demonstrated the same commitment to serve their country.

Spotlight on Chief Joe Daly Springfield Police Department Delaware County, Pennsylvania Metro Technology: How long have you served in your current position?

Chief Daly: I’m in my fourth year as Chief of Springfield Police Department.

Metro Technology: Where did you work before Springfield?

Chief Daly: I spent 39 years with Lower Merion Police Department. Fourteen of those years I served as Chief.

Metro Technology: When did you serve in the military?

Chief Daly: I graduated high school in 1967 and went right into basic training at Paris Island and then Camp Lejeune. I was also trained in Machine Guns and Jungle Warfare.

Metro Technology: Did you serve in any wars?

Chief Daly: I did two tours in Vietnam. The first one was 13 months. Going home was a major culture shock. In just 48 hours, I went from the jungles of Vietnam to Philadelphia. Thirty days later, I returned to Vietnam for another six months.

Metro Technology: Why did you decide to join the military?

Chief Daly: The draft was big in the 1960’s, but I wanted to go and believed that Vietnam was in the forecast for me. I believed the Marine Corps was the best and if I went into battle I wanted to go with the best, so I joined the Marines.

Metro Technology: Can you highlight one or two experiences from your military career that had an influence on where you are today?

Chief Daly: The whole experience changed my outlook. If I had any do-overs, I would do it again. It’s a part of me. It taught me how to hold myself and conduct myself. I’ve been in a uniform since I was 18.

“I truly love our country and consider myself a patriot.”

Metro Technology: Why did you decide to become a police officer?

Chief Daly: It’s about service. I totally believe in our country and what it stands for and I believe in standing by our country when it’s good, bad, or indifferent. There were lots of emotions around Vietnam, but I believe it was my duty as a citizen to serve. I believe in defending the Constitution and the right to a free country. It is an honor to be a police officer. I truly love our country and consider myself a patriot.

Metro Technology: What do you like most about being a police officer?

Chief Daly: It is the most selffulfilling work you can do. Every day your job is to help and serve your community. I believe as a police officer, we are the most visible form of government and we must represent it properly. We are held to higher standards as police officers and we should be.

Metro Technology: How did serving in the military prepare you for your job today?

Chief Daly: The big influence was just the need to continue to serve.

In the military, I served with people from all walks of life. We came together, from all different backgrounds and ethnicities, and served as one unit. The military was diverse back then, unlike civilian life, and this really changed my views on life.

Then: Young Joe There was no separation in Vietnam.

Daly served two We were one. The Marine Corps also tours as a Marine taught me to lead by example and be in Vietnam. in the forefront on everything. If you ask your officers to do something, you should be willing to do it as well.

Today, I feel it is essential to make sure my officers have the training and materials they need to be effective on the streets.

It is truly about the officers and giving them what they need to get their job done.

Metro Technology: Did you win any awards during your military service?

Chief Daly: I was honored with a Purple Heart, a Bronze Star, and the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry medal.

Metro Technology: What do you enjoy doing when you are not working?

Chief Daly: I enjoy spending time with my family. My wife,

Now: Joe Daly leads by example as Chief of Police.

“If you ask your officers to do something, you should be willing to do it as well.”

Donna, was my childhood sweetheart. We have been married 41 years and she really helped me transition when I returned from Vietnam. We have three children (Dennis, Donna and Tracy) and five grandchildren. Dennis served in the Marine Corps as well and is now a police officer in Norwood. I was born and raised in West Philadelphia as one of 11 children. My 92-year old mother has also been a big part of my life. I am also a physical fitness nut.

I go to the gym every morning at 3:00 and then head into work.

It is important to take care of yourself and set an example.

Metro Supports the Military Matching Challenge To give back to the men and women who serve in America’s armed forces, Metro Technology Services is launching the Metro Supports the Military Matching Challenge. Metro will match donations made by our customers to benefit active duty military and their families. For details and donation information, please visit www.metroalert.com/military.

Our Metro Supports the Military Matching Challenge runs from Memorial Day through Labor Day 2012.

He worked for the Ontario government, handling a wide array of communications challenges in the resources arena â&#x20AC;&#x201D; spending time at the Ministries of Natural Resources, Health, Agriculture, and Environment.

He developed an especially keen interest in agriculture and its technological promises and took on the Town of Walkerton, Ontario as one of his first communication clients when thousands fell ill after drinking contaminated tap water. This very public, very critical and emotional event prompted Jeff to start Checkmate Public Affairs, because he felt corporations needed access to better ways to speak the truth; especially, when the truth was being stampeded by hysteria, real or imagined.

The range of high risk communication scenarios he has worked in to help companies retain their hard earned reputation include product recalls, chemical contaminations, layoffs, boycotts, staffing scares, activist attacks and natural disasters. When pressed to identify his area of keenest interest, he would reply that he is most specialized in agricultural bioproducts, and manufacturing or product defects. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I see fantastic technologies out there, and when they get sidelined for no good reason other than public fear or misunderstanding, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a shame.

TECH MANDATES | The Darker Side of

Social Networking Essentials Every Officer Needs To Know Part 1 Contributed by: James A. Dill, Deputy Chief (retired) PA Office of Attorney General

The next series of articles are going to take a unique look at social networking from a law enforcement perspective. They will examine a number of different features and issues that have a direct impact on officers and just as importantly their families. However, we will not only study the darker side of social networking, we will offer a number of recommendations to keep an officer and their family safer!

Let’s begin with what may be a difficult concept for some to accept. “Whether you use social networking or not it has become an “Officer Safety Issue!”

When I first started teaching police officers about social networking I use to advise them to stay away from it. There are too many bad things that can happen. However, I can’t offer that advice any longer for a number of reasons. First of all with over 900 million users on Facebook alone it is very difficult for anyone not to get involved. It truly is a fundamental change in the way people communicate. For some friends and family it is the main means of communication. In addition, with professional social networking sites like LinkedIn, many officers enjoy associating with their law enforcement brothers and sisters all over the world. Then there is the use of social networking an as intelligence/investigative tool by police. In fact, there is so much open source information available I advise police officers if they are not looking at social networking they could be missing significant pieces of evidence. Communications, motive, relationships, photographs; even location information could be readily available if a subject doesn’t have all their security settings in place. Even if security settings are in place many officers cultivate informants, go undercover online, or use a legal process as mechanisms to obtain social networking information (although be sure to authenticate and properly preserve any information you obtain). Yet whether officers use it professionally or personally, there remains many, many dangers lurking.

So what I do now when I instruct a class on social networking is to advise officers to use it but use it wisely! Those officers who don’t use social networking still have to be concerned about what their spouse or children may be disclosing.

Your profile or bio is a summary of personal information about yourself. Every social network will ask a new user to answer dozens of questions about their personal lives. After all the whole point of social networking is to be “social”, so how else are you going to meet people with like interests or that old high school buddy? Most users forget that social networking sites like Facebook are a big business. Think about this. How much do you pay to be on Facebook?

Nothing, right? With over 900 million users think of the server space, personnel, and infrastructure that would be needed to support that many users. How can they possibly afford to do that, yet Facebook is a billion dollar business. They do it because we supply them the raw material for their business plan – information! Prior to the public stock offering, advertising was the main source of Facebook’s income. Often the basic information requested when filling out a profile consists of question like your date of birth, where you were born, your high school, your college, the years you graduated, where you’ve been employed, your address, your favorite books, music, movies, hobbies, etc., etc., etc. If fact if you look hard at this information you often times can determine the answer to many of the “secret” questions a bank or credit card company might ask if you lose your password!

It is not just the advertisers that you need to be concerned with; criminals use this information for everything from identity theft to child exploitation. Even worse is that it has been documented that some criminals have been “harvesting” police officer’s personal information and creating their own intelligent databases!

Recommendation #1 - Limit the amount the amount of personal information you or your family members enter into the profile or bio of a social network. It is not necessary to let everyone know you’re a cop or what your home address is.

Recommendation #2 - Be sure the privacy settings (more on that later) are set so that you are not sharing that information with the whole world.

There are a number of issues with posting photographs that could pose a problem for an officer. First there is the avatar.

This is the profile photo of the individual user. It is always viewable and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be limited via privacy settings. In addition it is easily downloadable! An actual example of this took place in Phoenix, AZ during a run of the mill DUI stop. Following standard police procedure a CD was discovered. On that CD were the social networking photographs of 30 Phoenix police officers as well as much of their bio information!

Recommendation #3 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; DO NOT USE A PHOTO OF YOURSELF on ANY social network. Instead either donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t upload a picture or use something like your favorite baseball glove or fishing rod.

Another photo issue concerns postings by your family and friends. Case in point, I was teaching social networking to a group of undercover narcotics officers in Georgia. One officer during the break asked me to look up his 14 year old daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Facebook page since heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never been on Facebook. Although somewhat reticent, I agreed. What we found made both of our jaws drop. The young lady loved and admired her father and meant no malice, but she had posted a photo of her father, tagged it with his name and posted a comment that stated her Dad was an undercover narcotics officer. What made it worse was that his daughter didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any security settings in place so anyone could see the photo and her posting!

Recommendation #4 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Check the photos posted by family and friends and make sure that you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t being compromised.

How can you prevent someone from posting a picture of you and tagging it with your name? Well you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really prevent someone from uploading a photo that you appear in, but you can be notified if some tags it with your name. On Facebook follow the below procedure.

Recommendation #5 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Set your privacy settings so that you are notified if someone tags a photo of you.

Keep in mind that this notification by Facebook only works if you are on Facebook. Officers who have no presence on the www.pachiefs.org

social network, of course, canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be notified. Therefore, I now suggest officers who are not on Facebook to get on by creating a very limited page with a minimum of information and set their privacy settings so they are notified if tagged.

Another photo issue has to do with EXIF information. If you recall from a previous article the EXIF information in a digital photograph reveals all kinds of information about the photograph including the date, time, camera model and camera settings. In addition if the photo was taken with a phone, the GPS location where the photograph was taken could also be included. Social Networking sites like Flicker, Picasa, and others retain the EXIF information when the photo is posted.

Therefore if an officer or family member posts a photo taken within his home there is an excellent chance that the exact location of his home can be determined from the photograph!

Recommendation #6 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Turn off the location settings for the camera on your smartphone.

Recommendation #7 - Learn how to remove the EXIF information from a photograph prior to posting or sharing.

We are just scratching the surface of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Darker Side of Social Networkingâ&#x20AC;?. Be sure to check out the next Bulletin for a number of other recommendations that officers may want to consider when using social networking.

On January 3, 2012, the Pennsylvania Chiefs of Police Association opened the Pennsylvania Virtual Training Network, PAVTN.net, for online training specifically developed for Pennsylvania Law Enforcement. In the first four months of operation, the PAVTN.net registered over fifty seven hundred police officers. The PAVTN continues to see about one hundred officers a week register to be able to take nine courses currently offered.

The PAVTN is the only place Pennsylvania’s municipal police officers can take six (6) of their twelve (12) hours of Mandatory In-Service Training online (MIST). In just two month over twelve hundred officers were enrolled for the MIST courses online. This will save their departments overtime and travel costs.

In just these few months, the PAVTN provided Pennsylvania law enforcement with training on domestic violence, investigating strangulation, investigating stalking, suspicious activity reporting, fingerprint compliance, DUI enforcement and prevention, and the two MIST courses to over eighteen hundred officers online. For these officers to attend class and receive the same training would have required the operation of five classrooms a week. The individual officers would have to be scheduled for two days of training and travel an average of forty six miles to attend. These online classes saved over twenty eight thousand man hours and thousands of dollars in travel costs.

To take one line courses through the PAVTN you must be a registered user. To register you need to download the registration spreadsheet from the Pennsylvania Chief ’s web site http://www.pachiefs.org/Resources/Documents/PAVTN%20 Officer%20Registration%20Form.xls. Fill in the information; save the spreadsheet and e-mail it as an attachment to PAVTN@ pachiefs.org. Police departments are encouraged to register all their officers. Every officer must have their own distinct email address to register.

Once the registration is processed each user receives an e-mail with their username and password. Each user is automatically enrolled in a number of free courses. However, you cannot be automatically enrolled in the 2012 municipal police officer education and training commission mandatory in-service courses. Enrollment in these courses is governed by the municipal police officers education and training commission and is only available to those officers subject to Pennsylvania ACT 180 and those agencies preapproved by MPOETC. Therefore, enrollment in these two courses must be authorized by the police department chief or authorized agency head.

Every department that provided the registration spreadsheet for their department was e-mailed a separate enrollment spreadsheet form to authorize enrollment in the MPOETC mandatory in-service courses, if any department did not receive this e-mail, they can request it be resent by e-mailing PAVTN@ pachiefs.org.

Retired Member Spotlight The first edition of the Bulletin’s “Retired Chiefs Spotlight” esteems the career of one of the PCPA’s most charismatic members. While his official career as a police officer began almost six decades ago, his life of dedication to law enforcement started well before that as an orphan mesmerized by the uniform and badge he was called to wear. And although his reign as Chief of Police ended in 1985, the fiery dedication to law enforcement he had sparked within himself as a child has never dwindled. When his career was still young, the drunks of Danville knew him as the fearless “Blackjack.” Don Hunter, the man with a million stories, is the first retired Chief to stand in the spotlight.

“His passion and dedication to this Association is so remarkable that it is infectious. I am certain that I can speak for all the active members when I say that my role in this organization has been dramatically influenced by Don Hunter.”

– Tom DiMaria Before he became the Chief of Police for the Mahoning Township Police Department, Don Hunter remembers “walking the meters” and breaking up bar fights as an officer in Danville. With his billy club, thirtyeight special, and oversized “hand-me-down” uniform, Hunter illustrates his first days of law enforcement as “absolutely antique.”

He worked midnight shifts alone and answered every call with the few tools he had. The most advanced technology available to the Danville Police Department was a red light flashing in a second story window signaling to the lone officer that a call was waiting for him. “Blackjack” Hunter was a man of small stature with colossal fight, deterring brawls between the rambunctious drunks by “putting the fear of God into them.”

At the end of the night, Hunter would take the drunks daring enough to challenge his authority back to the jail cell defeated... in a wheelbarrow.

In 1964, Hunter started and served as Chief of the Mahoning Police Department. Chief Hunter, the only officer affiliated with the

Department for many years, helped serve his community in every way possible. Whether it was running against (and beating) a corrupt politician for the Township Board of Supervisors or going along with the State Police on investigations, Hunter just wanted to be involved. “The whole damn thing is nothing more than to serve the people, not yourself.”

“You just want to be around him, because he wants to be around you.

He is the perfect example of the idea of a group and the concept of social unity.

If you lose those values, you lose brotherhood.”

– William Richendrfer Any and every training event or seminar for law enforcement was attended by Chief Hunter. He felt that he could never stop learning about the vocation he loved. But he did not stop at learning about police, he taught about the life as an officer at every opportunity. Speaking with children and enhancing the image of the job was one of the most rewarding aspects of his career. Protecting the public was paramount for Chief Hunter; however, making the public as proud of their law enforcement as he was was just as important.

The world of law enforcement has seen a vast amount of changes and advances since Chief Hunter’s career began. Police Officers who so bravely serve the community today are fortunate to have the tools, training, and means of communication available to them. Chief Hunter walked the thin blue line without these technologies; instead, he was equipped with pure love for the job. His career was never motivated by money or politics, just a passionate drive to protect the public and serve his fellow people. As a young orphan, the sight of the uniform and badge ignited this flame. Over the course of several years and various obstacles, the flame grew and grew, until it became a fire so great that it continues to engulf everyone it reaches. Don Hunter’s career and life is such a powerfully influential one, it is impossible to know just how many flames he’s sparked himself. or report the arrest of one of your officers, you can submit an electronic Change of Status Notice. Separations should be reported immediately in order to maintain an accurate and current listing of police officers for your department. This is important for biennial recertification and application for accreditation.

3. If you want to hire a police officer who has valid certification (meaning the officer is already working for another police department), or want to hire a person whose certification number is inactive, but less than two years have lapsed since their last employment, you can submit an electronic Change of Status Notice. (Please note, an applicant from out of state cannot be hired using the Change of Status Notice. You must follow the process explained in number one.)

4. You can determine if your police officers completed mandatory in-service training for the year by querying in-service training history using the MPOETC In-Service History link. The police officer’s certification number and last name are required for the query.

5. You can also check the certification status of a police officer assigned to your department. While you are unable to query the certification status of a police officer working for another police department, you may contact MPOETC at 717-3467760 to obtain that information.

7KH UHWLUHPHQW \RX GHVHUYH Some thoughts for you to consider B y E. J e f f r e y R o o f

Ahha, retirement The seductive thought of finally having both time and money at your disposal. A situation dreamed of and yearned for by many, from professionals and executive to blue collar laborers. At times, we tend to fixate on the lure of being “retired,” a relatively recent concept in American working culture. Perhaps it’s the perceived freedom offered by financial independence. Or perhaps it’s the freedom from daily schedules, deadlines, and unappreciative bosses.

Faces of those who have successfully reaped their just desserts beam from the covers of monthly financial tabloids. “How To Retire Before You’re Fifty”, “Retire In Style”, “Ten Mutual Funds For Retirement”, “Picking Your Retirement Getaway”. The deserved reward sought by many working Americans.

Brokerage firms, mutual funds, banks, and insurance companies all tout products they can provide to assist you in your quest. Most financial planning discussions will emphasize the value of retirementoriented vehicles such as 401(k)s, IRAs, and SEPs; acronyms relatively unheard of 15 years ago.

Online software packages, claiming to help you properly invest for your retirement, abound. But, with all the emphasis and tools, do we truly do a better job in preparing for a successful retirement? Yes and no.

After 16 years of helping individuals effectively plan for retirement as well as helping companies create effective retirement plans, I’ve learned that it Page

32

is often the fundamentals that prevent individuals from achieving the retirement they desire. Here are five key areas that are often troublespots: Not clearly defining your expectations.

Adequately funding your retirement is directly dependent on what your retirement expectations are. Successfully retiring means very different things to different people. Early in the process, you need to determine your personal goals, i.e. income, residence, lifestyle, etc. for post retirement years. Paying off the home in Susquehanna Township and occasionally visiting your cousin in Arizona will require a different level of financial wherewithal than maintaining your local residence, a second property in Hilton Head, and traveling abroad for several weeks a year.

Clarifying your expectations of life-after-current-career can provide nonfinancial benefits as well.

The transition to retirement can be stressful, especially for relationships. And it is not unusual to have couples looking toward the future with very different individual perspectives. Come to a consensus on joint expectations long before you anticipate making any retirement decisions.

Can we talk?

Clearly and regularly communicate these expectations with all concerned, from your spouse to your professional advisors.

Several years ago while heading a regional bank’s trust and investment department, I received 6800(5 Issue

word from a senior portfolio manager that two married clients were very upset.

During my meeting with the clients, a physician and his wife, I learned they planned on selling their practice within two years, retiring, and expected to live on $200,000 of annual portfolio income.

An excellent accountant had worked with the family for years.

A top-notch attorney had completed estate-planning preparation and was currently negotiating the sale of the business. The couple had several trusts, various investment management accounts and were quite pleased with their investment results.

The problem? None of the professionals ever quantified, nor had the clients mentioned, the postretirement yearly income expectation. And the portfolio size, while noteworthy, was not going to generate $200,000 of after-tax income without invading invested principal.

This revelation was naturally upsetting and their income expectations had to be adjusted downward accordingly.

An all-too-common example of fundamental expectations being overlooked when all the pieces appear to be in place.

The devil is in the details.

A 1993 study of retirement income needs by Bruce Palmer of Georgia State University is often used to provide a rule of thumb for the percentage of working income that needs to be replaced during retirement years. According to the study, individuals earning $90,000 per year during their working www.pachiefs.org

PA CHIEFS OF POLICE ASSOCIATION %8//(7,1

career need to replace 75% of that income during retirement to generally maintain their standard of living.

Generally speaking, individuals earning less than $90,000 annually need to replace a higher percent of their working income, while those earning more need to replace less.

While this average may somewhat helpful as a starting point, you can easily see that the level of income needing to be replaced will differ significantly from individual to individual. Your situation is unique and needs to be treated as such.

Be wary of pat answers and standardized solutions.

Current debt, lifestyle expectations, family obligations, etc. influence your retirement income needs and investment structure. It is critical to detail your specific spending requirements when you are close enough to retirement age that these projections will have some validity but distant enough that financial adjustments can be successfully implemented.

The beginning, not the end.

Consider the fact that an increasing number of individuals will spend one-third of their lifetime in retirement.

Do the math; retire at 60, live until 90.

While many worry about not having enough to retire today, a greater financial concern may very well be not having enough to be retired tomorrow. If you thought breaking into the job market was tough in your 20s, imagine doing so in your 70s.

Outliving your retirement assets is a valid misgiving that necessitates diligent planning and asset management long after your formal career journey is completed.

Two areas significantly affecting your post-retirement financial health are taxes and inflation. www.pachiefs.org

The long-term impact of these two factors is often underemphasized. Doing so can be hazardous. On the tax front, the assets you’ve accumulated taxdeferred in traditional retirement plans and IRAs will be taxed as ordinary income when dollars are distributed to you. Appropriate investment planning, as well as a good accountant and attorney, will help reduce the bite but Uncle Sam will get his due. This fact needs to be considered when calculating the assets and return needed to meet your retirement expectations.

Likewise, inflation can have a dramatic effect on the ability of your accumulated assets to support you through retirement.

While recent inflation figures have been relatively low, 20 to 30 years is a long time. Department of Labor statistics indicate an average annual inflation rate of 5.45 % in the 25year span of 1972 to 1997.

Looking at it from a slightly different perspective, it required $380 in 1997 to buy what $100 did in 1972.

The bottom line is an investment portfolio’s balance needed to grow by at least 5.45 percent annually just to preserve its original purchasing power. If you are also withdrawing 5 percent of the balance annually, the portfolio needs a total return of 10.45 percent just to keep pace.

In most situations, a balanced approach (i.e., stocks and bonds) to postretirement asset management is both prudent and necessary. Don’t anticipate converting all your investments to fixed income vehicles and simply living off the interest.

Early and often.

The recent experience of many AMP employees demonstrates that ongoing retirement planning is important.

Circumstances outside your control may create opportunities for, or necessitate reevaluation of, retirement planning timeframes and expectations. The only constant in financial/investment/retirement planning is change. It is always a work in progress. As in sailing, you set your initial course but variations in current, wind, tide, and weather will almost certainly require you to adjust your heading along the way, sometimes dramatically. Without that original plot, you will have no idea what adjustment gets you back on course.

Many individuals approach retirement planning as a sailor without charts; just hop in the boat and hope we land somewhere.

A common concern I hear when meeting a new client is, “We think we’re investing a lot…but we’re not sure it’s enough?” Others prodigiously accumulate assets but lack a strategy to put these assets effectively to work for their benefit.

The result is often an inefficient, expensive portfolio that may or may not meet their long-term retirement objectives.

The beginning of a new year is traditionally a time for resolutions.

What better time to resolve your financial future by objectively assessing where you are at, where you want to go, and plan for the retirement you deserve.
