State &Provincial Police Academy Directors State & Provincial Police Academy Directors State and Provincial Police Academy Directors Section Update February, 2016. International Association of Chiefs of Police Conference Report of: International Chair Peter Shipley It is both an honor and privilege for me to continue to serve as the International Chair for the State and Provincial Police Academy Directors Section of the S & P Division of the International Association of Chiefs of Police. There is not a police issue that has been raised over the last year where police training and education experts haven’t been called upon to provide guidance. Your Executive team have been working diligently on your behalf on a number of issues that have required action. I would like to thank all the Colonels who continue to support SPPADS and our ongoing training initiatives. As part of the IACP, the leaders of the State and Provincial Division as well have been working hard to ensure that the sections continue to be supported. We are fortunate to have Colonel Flaherty and Colonel Price who have been very strong and vocal supporters of the sections of the S& P Division of the IACP. Colonel’s Flaherty and Price along with IACP Director, Law Enforcement Operations and Support, James Baker and Program Manager, Brandon Gardner, continue to explore how they can continue to support the sections of the Division including SPPADS, SPPPOs and SACOP. Since we have a number of new members, I wanted to bring everyone up to speed on some of the changes and updates that have occurred within SPPADS. As you know, the 2015 conference was hosted in Grand Haven, June 15- 19th, was a tremendous success. I would like to thank Colonel Kriste Etue for hosting the 36th Annual SPPADS conference. The initial work by Captain Kusmierz and her team at the Michigan State Police Academy set the stage for what was an excellent conference. When Captain Kusmierz retired prior to the 1 State & Provincial Police Academy Directors conference, Inspector Dave Greydanus and First Lieutenant Kevin Rod assumed the lead responsibilities to ensure the conference went on as planned. They did an exceptional job. Since the conference we have learned that Inspector Greydanus has also retired. Dave has been a trusted, progressive colleague and SPPADs member for years. Dave provided the membership with a progressive thought process to improve the quality of training for the Michigan State Police as well as for other SPPADS members. We will miss him dearly but wish him the best in his retirement. We have taken some of the lessons learned and your recommendations forward to enhance the 2016 conference. EXECUTIVE MEMBER CHANGES There have been a number of changes in the Executive recently. In December, 2015, the International Vice-Chair, Captain Dave Notte announced his retirement from the Vermont State Police. This was a difficult decision for Dave as he was to assume the Chair role in July, 2016 during our conference in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. As a result Dave had to retire prior to December 31, 2015 or his pension would have been impacted. Dave provided outstanding commitment and contributions to SPPADS core business over the years. He was among the initial SPPADS leadership to provide input and direction into the Countering Violent Extremism training portal hosted by the Department of Homeland Security. His work on Sovereign citizens was utilized by a number of SPPADS members over the last five years. As mentioned in a previous brief, I have appointed Deputy Director Eric Fiander of the Atlantic Police Academy as the Interim International Vice-Chair until we have elections in Louisiana. Eric has served in this capacity previously and his 43 years of policing experience bodes well for SPPADS. I am pleased that Eric again has accepted this role until the Business Meeting in July. 2 State & Provincial Police Academy Directors As well our Mid-West Region Representative Lieutenant Steve Fischer accepted a transfer within the Minnesota State Police moving into field operations as a Lieutenant in the West Metro (Minneapolis) Patrol District. This means that Steve had to vacate his position on the SPPADS Executive. In the end this was a tough decision for Steve to leave training, but was the decision for Steve and his family. Thank you Steve for your service to SPPADS and the contributions that you have made over the last several years. We all wish you the very best on the next phase of your career. As a result of the Mid-West Region Representative vacancy on the Executive, I have appointed Captain Lori Hodapp to act as the Interim Mid-West Region Representative. I am extremely honored that Captain Hodapp has agreed to continue to serve as the Mid-West Regional Representative for the rest of the two year term. Captain Hodapp brings a plethora of experience to the role and was a SPPADS member previously, left training and now is back leading the Training Unit, bringing with her extensive operational experience. Captain Lori Hodapp currently serves as the Minnesota State Patrol (MSP) Director of Training and Development. She began her career as a field trooper. She has held various other positions including public information officer, lieutenant of west metro Minneapolis area, district commander and two separate assignments to training. She has been an instructor, academy drill sergeant, supervised special projects and field operations. Captain Hodapp has completed 31 years of service, earning a reputation as a change agent, striving to bring progression to law enforcement whether through operations or training. She is a graduate of the FBI National Academy, attended Northwestern University Staff and Command, and certified in the IACP Leadership in Police Organizations program. She is proud to be a parent to Trooper Nathan Hodapp, a 2015 academy graduate. In her spare time, Captain Hodapp is a personal fitness trainer, fitness class facilitator, motivational speaker 3 State & Provincial Police Academy Directors and student in a Leadership and Management Master’s Degree Cohort at Concordia University, St. Paul. Please join me in congratulating Lori on her appointment. Our Secretary Treasurer, Captain Scott Woodell has put a copy of our current Directory on our website at www.sppads.net . We recognize that staffing changes continue to occur and we will endeavour to capture these changes and update the Directory as they occur. If you know of any changes in personnel at any Academy, can you please forward any update information to Captain Woodell.

Working collaboratively and effectively 5 State & Provincial Police Academy Directors will ensure our members receive the most current, realistic training possible. One of the ways we have been able to improve our Academies is by experiencing how other Academies conduct their training. A number of agencies continue to attend neighbouring State and Provincial partners to share lessons learned. I would strongly encourage you to continue these Academy exchanges to and share ideas, program innovations and best practices. SPPADS 2016, INSTRUCTOR OF THE YEAR AWARD On behalf of the Executive I would like to formally acknowledge all of the agencies who submitted nominations for the Instructor of the Year Award. All nominees will be receiving a formal acknowledgement of their nomination through their Colonels from SPPADS. Last year’s winner Corporal Russo of the Pennsylvania State Police set the excellence bar very high. This year there were fourteen outstanding nominees for the 2016 Award. I am extremely proud to see the large number of excellent instructors who were nominated. We received nominations from the following agencies: Atlantic Police Academy North Carolina State Highway Patrol Ontario Police College Ontario Provincial Police Florida Highway Patrol Minnesota State Patrol Pennsylvania State Police Washington State Police 6 State & Provincial Police Academy Directors All nominees were outstanding and selecting a single winner was incredibly challenging.

  • The Redesign of Advanced Patrol Training for Police Constables in Ontario: Making Use of Evaluation to Maximize Organizational Effectiveness and Efficiency
    LA REVUEThe CANADIENNECanadian Journal D of'ÉVALUATION Program Evaluation DE PROGRAMMEVol. 15 No. 1 Pages 83–100 ISSN 0834-1516 Copyright © 2000 Canadian Evaluation Society 83 THE REDESIGN OF ADVANCED PATROL TRAINING FOR POLICE CONSTABLES IN ONTARIO: MAKING USE OF EVALUATION TO MAXIMIZE ORGANIZATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS AND EFFICIENCY Gregory P. Brown Ontario Police College and Department of Sociology, Nipissing University North Bay, Ontario Ron Hoffman Ontario Police College Aylmer, Ontario Abstract: The use of evaluation to maximize the effectiveness and effi- ciency of the Ontario Police College in the delivery of a refresher training program for police officers is described. Confronted by a growing backlog of patrol officers requiring refresher train- ing and ongoing financial constraints, in 1997 the College, in co-operation with Ontario police services, initiated a compre- hensive refresher training needs analysis. A multi-stage, multi- method strategy was employed in the research. The results of the needs analysis were used to redesign the curriculum, for- mat, and delivery of the Advanced Patrol Training (APT) re- fresher course for patrol constables. As a result of the APT redesign, the number of police officers receiving refresher train- ing increased by an average of 657% annually (effectiveness), while costs associated with the APT course decreased by 50% (efficiency). The evaluation, design, and delivery of the APT course has become a model for other police training programs in Ontario.
