6 President s Message ISSDA Training Schools Moving to Holiday Inn; Join ISSDA Credible Leadership Development I am honored to begin my year as President of the Iowa State Sheriffs & Deputies Association. The theme of my speech at Winter School was the increasingly negative perception towards law enforcement that is spreading across the country right now. I truly believe that this is something we all need to work on together. I can assure you that this issue is extremely important to me. I take my new position and responsibilities very seriously, and intend to do all I can to help all of our members. One way to improve our image is by providing proper training, which can improve our professionalism and the perceptions of those we encounter. ISSDA has provided excellent training for many years, and we are committed to continuing that tradition as we move all of our schools to the Airport Holiday Inn complex in Des Moines. There, we will have more room for training thanks to their ongoing remodeling. And we will be able to accommodate more vendor space and classroom size at an affordable cost, which will help us continue to provide quality training to as many members as possible. Along with our emphasis on quality training, I am very pleased to announce that ISSDA is in the process of finalizing an agreement to provide valuable leadership training to all ISSDA members statewide! After an affirmative membership vote at our Annual Business Meeting, we are partnering with Dr. Mitch Javidi, co-founder of the Sheriffs Institute for Credible Leadership Development (ICLD) a five-phase, Major John Godar Linn County Sheriff s Office in-depth leadership development program designed to develop leadership, character, ethics, emotional intelligence, decision making skills, and related competencies specifically geared toward law enforcement personnel. Phases I through III of the ICLD each include 60 hours of training and are delivered on-line and accessible 24/7. Phase IV is delivered through on-site classroom training. Phase V is delivered through both on-line and on-site classroom training. Phase I: Foundations & Principles of Leadership; Phase II: Theories & Practices of Leadership; Phase III: Application & Advancement of Leadership; Phase IV: Competency & Mastery; Phase V: Command College. Successful participants earn a certificate of completion for the Credible Leadership Development Course at the conclusion of each phase. They would then be eligible to apply for national certifications through the Criminal Justice Commission for Credible Leadership Development for a minimal fee. Currently, there is no other body that provides leadership certification. ISSDA is funding phases I, II and III in an effort to make this leadership training available to those who are unable to leave work for extended periods of time to attend on-site training. Thanks go to ISSDA Past- President Brian Gardner for the considerable time and effort he put forth on this project. We will provide more information on this training as soon as we work out the details. We all have a busy year ahead of us. We will keep you posted on our events, projects and issues of concern. Meeting agendas and minutes will be ed out to all members who have registered on our website. This information and more will also be posted on the website for review any time. Our goal is to keep our members completely informed as we work diligently for the betterment of our Association. Please let me know if there is anything I, or any other Board member, can do for you. I wish you all well and that you stay safe.

7 Secretary s Message Legislative Issues We Need Your Help to Pass: Distracted Driving, Prisoners Medical Services Happy New Year to all of you. It is now 2016 and this is my first article for The Gold Star as secretary for this great organization. I do not feel prepared. There have been so many articulate and thoughtprovoking predecessors in this position I find it a little intimidating but will try my best to serve up some thought-provoking articles this year. Since it is January, we all know that the Iowa Legislature is getting started again with their legislative session. I think for most people, unless there is an issue that you are really passionate about, it is easy to just not pay attention to what they are doing in Des Moines. This is a feeling I really wish I knew how to overcome, and knew a magical way to persuade more people to pay attention to and get involved on behalf of your association. It is really important that we pay attention. I find it amazing how often legislation can come about because one or two constituents have the ear of a legislator and something gets drawn up. Then, when there is legislation out there that really makes sense and we have a major organization like ours that is pushing it, we often times struggle to get any traction. There are a couple issues I want to draw your attention to that will come up this year. One is distracted driving. I know this frustrates all of you, as it does me, when you drive down the road and see one person after another on their phone or putting their lipstick on. I use these specific examples to draw your attention to this issue and Sheriff Lonny Pulkrabek Johnson County Sheriff s Office remind you it is much bigger than just making texting and driving a primary offense rather than a secondary offense. The fact of the matter is the problem is bigger than that. There are several other things that can be handheld, such as an ipod, lipstick, and electric razor and such. The problem is when someone has some sort of device in their hands while they are driving. They are a greater risk to themselves, to us, and to our families that are driving down the road. We want to address distracted driving this year and cover more of the problem than just driving down the road texting and driving. When you have opportunities, please remind your legislators that distracted driving is a huge public safety problem and it needs to be addressed. The other issue I want to discuss is inmate medical fees. Our legislative team led by Susan Cameron met with the Iowa Police Chiefs Association (IPCA), Iowa State Association of Counties (ISAC) and with the help of some attorneys developed some language that we will push in hopes of forcing the hospitals to put the burden on the arrestee. We hope to put an end to the days when people are arrested needing medical attention and the hospital tries to put the burden on the Sheriff to pay the bill. If a person feels he was injured wrongfully by a law enforcement officer, then he can litigate. As for the hospital, they can look at other ways of getting paid such as Medicaid, Blue Cross, or insurance from the affordable care act. This was a very difficult challenge to find common ground on, and we will need help on it because the hospital association will fight this tooth and nail. We hope with ISSDA, The Chiefs, the Joint Public Safety Board, ISAC, and League of Cities all on board that we might finally put to rest the problems created in the decision that came out of Woodbury County years ago. Please stay connected with your legislative committee and Susan, and if you have input please contact us. Best wishes for a safe and prosperous new year. Woodbury Co.

8 Winter School 2015: Fire Marshal s Office, Ofc. Jamie Buenting, Violent Death Reporting by Major John Godar Linn County Sheriff s Office December s Winter School was a huge success, and offered excellent training opportunities provided by our Schools Committee. The weather was unusually cooperative for us this year, which certainly is not the norm. Sheriff Richtsmeier from Franklin County collected donations from attendees for Camp Courageous again. This is an excellent charity and our members showed, once again, how caring and generous you all are by filling the trailer with an abundance of donations! Thank you Sheriff Richtsmeier for the work you put into this project, and thank you all for donating! Our Sunday night banquet went very well and the food was excellent. We enjoy having this banquet as it promotes networking of members who come the night before classes, giving them a quality meal and entertainment to socialize with their neighbors and fellow ISSDA members. If you ve never attended the Sunday night banquet before, I highly encourage you to do so. The entertainment for this banquet was provided for by the Hot Rod Lincoln Band headlined by Billy Heller, who has performed for us before and they put on an awesome show. Opening ceremonies started bright and early Monday morning with a great attendance by our members. It is good that we are having large turnouts at our schools, but that is also why this will be our last year, for a while at least, at Embassy 8 The Gold Star Suites. They are not increasing their classroom sizes as we want them to, so we are outgrowing their facility. They have nice rooms but we need more room for people to attend the training sessions. The ISSDA Board has signed a three-year agreement with the Airport Holiday Inn to hold our next three Winter Schools there, along with Jail and Civil Schools. Their newly built convention center should more than meet our needs going forward. The ISSDA Honor Guard did a wonderful job posting the Colors for our opening ceremony to start Winter School. It is great that we can have our own Honor Guard doing this for our schools, and we appreciate all the members who volunteer to be a part of our Honor Guard. They look great and well-rehearsed! Training this year consisted of excellent courses of instruction to include: State Fire Marshal s Office, Iowa Violent Death Reporting System, Safe at Home Victim Services and a briefing on the tragic death of Officer Jamie Buenting during the Rockwell City Stand-Off. Many vendors helped us with Winter School by sponsoring breaks, meals and hospitality events. We will be listing more vendor information on our website but a quick list of vendors that helped with Winter School are: Securus Technologies, Telespan Communications Inc, Stew Hansen Dodge City, Zuercher Technologies, Thrifty White Pharmacy, Keltek Inc, Karl Emergency Vehicles, CTS Cleaners, Shive-Hattery and Wes Ehrecke from the Iowa Gaming Association. Thank you to all who attended this year. These schools are completely for the benefit of our members so please be sure to provide input to the Schools Committee for training or changes you would like to see in the future. Also please let them know what you liked about the school so that they know what to continue doing for future events. Lastly, thank you to the School s Committee for all the hard work you do, putting these schools together. Please remember that quality training is the key to our success so keep working hard and let us know how we can help. Thank you all and STAY SAFE! ISSDA President John Godar The Seat Left Empty: A place was left empty at the head table of the President s Banquet to remember those ISSDA members who are no longer with us.

11 Linn County Correctional Center First in Iowa to Achieve Full Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) Compliance The Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) was passed unanimously by the U.S. Congress and signed into law by President George W. Bush on Sept. 4, In June 2012, the PREA national standards were published and became binding on correctional facilities. PREA is a federal law seeking to detect, prevent, and respond to incidents of sexual abuse and sexual harassment in correctional facilities. The PREA onsite audit of the Linn County Correctional Center was conducted by an independent auditor on April 6-7, The PREA Auditor (certified by the United States Department of Justice) spent two days at the Linn County Correctional Center reviewing documents, interviewing staff and inmates, and reviewing policies and procedures. The Auditor also spent numerous hours offsite reviewing policies and procedures as they related to the PREA standards. The final compliance report was received by jail administration on May 4, The report advised that the Linn County Correctional Center met 39 PREA standards and exceeded 3 PREA standards, with 1 PREA standard not applicable. The Linn County Correctional Center is committed to ensuring that those in custody are protected from sexual harassment and abuse during their incarceration, stated Major Peter Wilson, Jail Administrator for the Linn County Correctional Center. Per standards, a re-audit of the Correctional Center is required in three years. Pottawattamie County Lt.

12 IOWA STATE SHERIFFS & DEPUTIES ASSOCIATION 2016 LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES & POLICY STATEMENTS MAKE OUR ROADWAYS SAFER DISTRACTED DRIVING AS PRIMARY OFFENSE Distracted driving, inexperienced and impaired driving and other factors result in hundreds of deaths on Iowa roadways each year. While there is no simple solution to reduce the number of highway fatalities, ISSDA supports efforts to enhance awareness of the dangers of distracted and impaired driving. ISSDA supports legislation to define distracted driving as it relates to using hand-held electronic communication devices while operating a motor vehicle, requiring them to be in hands-free mode. Distracted driving under this definition would become a primary offense. PROTECT E911 FUNDING FOR LOCAL PUBLIC SAFETY ANSWERING POINTS (PSAP) The E911 surcharge that telephone customers pay for emergency 911 service delivery should be maintained for that purpose; it should not be a funding source for a new statewide interoperability system. While ISSDA supports the State s effort to build a statewide system, it does not support using E911 surcharge funds for that purpose. ISSDA supports using E911 surcharge dollars, not local property taxes, to fund emergency 911 services. And if data supports an increased need for E911 funding going to the local public safety answering points to relieve the burden on taxpayers, ISSDA supports increasing the percentage of the current E911 funds that go to the local PSAPs. ISSDA supports alternative funding sources, such as state ending balance Rebuild Iowa Infrastructure Funds to fund the statewide interoperability system. MAKE PRISONERS RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN MEDICAL COSTS Individuals who commit a criminal act and are sentenced to jail shall be responsible for their own medical costs. Currently, counties and cities are being held liable for self-initiated injuries or pre-existing conditions of arrestees. Because all individuals in the United States are required to have health insurance beginning in 2016 due to the Affordable Care Act, hospitals shall bill the individual and/or the individual s insurance, Medicaid, Medicare, etc. for these injuries and/or conditions. Iowa property taxpayers should not pay the medical costs of criminals who make the decision to break the law and are sentenced to jail. Currently, counties are paying hundreds of thousands of dollars a year for inmate medical costs, that prior to the individual entering jail, were being paid by the individual or his/ her third party payor. Being sentenced to jail should not shift these medical costs to county taxpayers. This proposal is supported by ISSDA, the Iowa Chiefs of Police Association, the Iowa State Association of Counties, and the Iowa League of Cities. REDUCE COST TO LOCAL TAXPAYERS FOR CIVIL PRO- CESS SERVICE ISSDA supports adjusting specific civil process user fees that have not been adjusted for more than a decade. The actual costs for performing these duties, which are set in the Code of Iowa, do not cover actual costs of transport and personnel time for service. ISSDA PROPOSES USER FEES MORE ADEQUATELY COVER ACTUAL COSTS TO REDUCE THE BURDEN ON TAXPAYERS. SUPPORT SF 503 THAT PASSED THE SENATE IN Other issues of importance: Support changing the definition of drug-endangered children to ensure proper safety; Extend the statute of limitations for sexual exploitation; Include jailers to protections under interference with official acts; Monitor all firearms and weapons permit legislation; Monitor all legislation related to illegal substances; and Monitor all pension legislation. 12 The Gold Star

20 Growing Community Transition Program Reduces Recidivism of Mentally Ill Inmates By Sheriff Jim Sholl Lee County Sheriff s Office We have been busy in southeast Iowa with strategic planning sessions to broaden our Community Transition program. Lee and Des Moines Counties began planning and partnering in 2012, hoping to implement a jail diversion program. The Southeast Iowa Regional Planning Commission (SEIRPC) has provided strategic planning throughout the process. We finally implemented the position of Community Transition Coordinator, and the individual works within the two jails preparing inmates suffering from mental illness for re-entry to the community with appropriate services in place. The program was successful within the first year, reducing the rate of recidivism of those with mental illness. Southeast Iowa Link (SEIL) took notice of the program and results. Collaboration with SEIL, SEIRPC, and the other counties in our mental health region has led to an interest from Henry, Louisa and Washington counties in our region to model a similar program in their jails. We are currently accepting applications for another full-time person to assist our Community Transition Coordinator as this program grows. Our Community Transition Coordinator has taken the lead in exploring a Medication Initiative to bolster the transition program. This medication program is run through the Iowa Prescription Drug Corporation (IDPC) in an attempt to lower recidivism rates. Any person released from jail who is unable to pay for their behavioral/mental health medication is eligible for the program. Eligible persons can receive up to 90 days of prescription drug coverage, in the form of three 30-day prescriptions. Individuals in the program are given a voucher for their medication by the FQHC which they are to present to a local 340B contract pharmacy. Those pharmacies will submit a monthly invoice to the FQHC, who in turn submits documentation to be reimbursed by the IDPC. The jails will work with a local Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) by identifying potential offenders that would qualify for this program and referring them to the FQHC. Community Health Centers in our area are qualified. The jail will provide the FQHC with records, with written consent of the individual, so the individual can receive their medication refill as soon as possible once they are released. Those eligible for the program are assisted in arranging appointments for medical health purposes at the FQHC. Further referrals to additional mental health providers will be made when necessary, along with assistance in establishing insurance if applicable. Funds for this Medication Initiative come from a State of Iowa settlement with a prescription drug corporation. On-going data is being collected by the IDPC to monitor recidivism rates for those active in the program. This initiative has been piloted in several counties and proven effective in reducing recidivism. Woodbury Co.
