ECC Board of Trustees Executive Summary Date: October 26, 2017 Subcommittee: Consent Agenda Agenda Item: Fees for Service for 2017-2018 Academic Year for Erie CC s Law Enforcement Training Academy (LETA) - Revised This item is for: For Board's Approval Backup Documentation: Attached to this document Background Information: Erie s LETA regularly uses experts in the law enforcement field to provide training to its students. Through in-services, the LETA trains all local officers for state mandated and voluntary training. Through the Basic Course for the Police Program, the LETA trains candidates of the pre-employment program as well as sworn officers. Pre-employment candidates receive certification from the New York State Department of Criminal Justice Services to be employed by a police agency. The consultants utilized consist of current and retired officers, court officials and civilians with previous law enforcement backgrounds. Their professional knowledge includes, but is not limited to, firearms, emergency vehicle operations, incident management, crime scene investigation and domestic violence. These subject matters alone require the instructor to be state certified and well versed. The realm of law enforcement is constantly evolving and the need for up-to-date information is great and solidifies the need for Academy instructors who are proficient and professional in their field. Reasons for Recommendation: To provide competently trained officers throughout the region for public safety and to honor a memo of understanding between the College and Erie County. The names added to the August 2017 Fees for Service submission now include: Police Officer Ed Helling, Det. Earl Perrin, Police Officer David B. Schneider, Det. Richard Semonian, Lt. Kyle Suckow and Paul Yocono. In addition, the hours proposed for individuals to work were reduced for the following individuals due to both their availability and that of Erie s staff: Lt. JoAnn DiNoto, Michelle Kerr, Capt. Michael Melton, Robert Yeates and Jay Young. Fiscal Implications: An average of 25 Pre-employment Candidates are in the Academy s biannual Basic Course for Police. In 2016, 33 in-service classes were offered with 686 officers in attendance. Consequences of Negative Action: Inability to meet agreement requirements and community obligations. Steps Following Approval: Enroll students and provide training services. Contact Information If Any Questions: Richard C. Washousky, Provost and Executive Vice President, North Campus Phone: (716) 851-1500 / E-mail: Washousky@ecc.edu
