don’t know what the weather is like where you live, but as I write I this message, I can see the trees fi nally have buds on their limbs, so hopefully Spring weather is close at hand. I’ve had all the winter I want for a while.

A lot has happened since my last message. ! e annual Presidents and Secretary/Treasurer’s meeting was held at the Academy during the week of February 18. We had a great turnout from all of our domestic and international chapters, and it was great seeing many old friends and getting to meet some new ones. It was a week packed with business along with some training, and I think everyone felt good about what we accomplished and where our association is headed.

One topic was membership, and how important it is to not only keep our members, but to also bring old ones back. As I hope you know by now, we have implemented the ability of our members to renew their membership dues (both association and chapter) on line. chapter of the person or department placing the order.

Introduction: Local, state and tribal law enforcement o# cers constitute the front line, inside the US, in the war on terror. Police o# cers, whether conducting a routine tra# c stop or community liaison, are in a unique position to unexpectedly encounter the next terror cell operative or supporter, and be required to quickly assess and determine any threat potential. Before any assessments can even begin, o# cers must be able to reliably, and fully, identify individuals they encounter. This can be challenging in a world where false identi! cations, identity theft and other hurdles are more and more common- place. But what about when o# cers lack the cultural knowledge needed to di" erentiate between a name and a title? continued on page 19 18 19 www.fbinaa.org MAR 2008 APR

Crime mapping as it is practiced today can be sophisticated and highly e" ective, but also a labor-intensive and expensive under- Crime Mapping taking. Advanced computerized mapping technology coupled with highly skilled crime analysts can be brought to bear on vari- in Smallsville ous crime problems with great success. But many small and even medium sized US police departments cannot a" ord either the Bernard H. Levin Andreas M. Olligschlaeger technology or highly skilled crime analysts. In spite of this crime mapping can and indeed should be a vital component of any police department’s daily operations. The emphasis of technology over utility and e" ective use of spatial information puts smaller police departments in danger of heading down the wrong path: the argument that there is no money for technology or training is really no excuse for not making use of a valuable concept such as crime mapping.

A Plea for Posture, Part II

John G. Van Vorst 15

n our last article, the concept of muscular imbalance was addressed Iusing a commonly-seen upper body postural distortion (i.e. rounded shoulders and forward head position). Imbalances occur when certain muscles become shortened and tight, while others become lengthened and weak. Evidence suggests that postural distortions lead to faulty bio- mechanics, excessive wear-and-tear on the joints and eventually injury. ! e remedy consists of consistent and strategic strength and fl exibility training. Now that you’re all working on getting those shoulders straight- ened out, let’s see how your lower extremities check out. 26 According to Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary, the term “fl atfoot” is still recognized as a slang term for law enforcement offi cers who “walk a regular beat”. ! is less-than-aff ectionate term also points to a fl awed movement pattern that becomes more pronounced during fi tness train- ing, thus adding injury to insult. If your feet excessively fl atten when running, squatting, jumping and/or landing, you’re at risk for a number of fi tness injuries including plantar fasciitis, shin splints, Achilles ten- donitis and knee pain. ! is is the primary reason we recommend that all attendees of the National Academy have their running style evaluated by a professional and buy the proper footwear. 37 In addition to feet that excessively fl atten, the most common lower body postural distortion is characterized by knees that dip towards your midline and rotate inwards (Figure 1). ! is alignment, or “knock knees”, during the aforementioned functional movements produce an unhealthy stress to the connective tissues and increase the risk of dreaded anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and medial collateral ligament (MCL) injuries. Due to anatomical diff erences, females are already at higher risk for this. ! e good news is that properly constructed exercise program can help to counteract years of inactivity or unbalanced training. ! e remainder of this article will outline some corrective exercises that require little or no equipment. ! at’s our nice way of saying “no excuses”. 48 ! e lower body muscles that are prone to tightness and contribute to this fl awed movement pattern are found in the calves (gastrocnemius Yellow Brick Fit continued from page 28 & soleus) and front of the thighs and hips (quadriceps & hip fl exors). fl oor (Figure 5) can provide a simple strength workout for the front of the Figure 3: Static stretch for calves It’s no coincidence that these muscles are placed in a shortened position lower leg.
