    Integrating Computer-Aided Dispatch Data WITH TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT CENTERS FOREWORD The Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) Office of Operations has actively engaged in the national deployment of Traffic Incident Management (TIM) programs since the office was deployed. TIM programs can improve coordination, communications, and effectiveness of the various agencies—departments of transportation (DOTs), law enforcement, fire, tow operators, emergency medical services providers, and public works departments—as they respond to roadway incidents. The use of Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) by those agencies is integrated between police and traffic management centers, then potentially other responder agencies can provide several benefits that can mitigation of roadway incidents. This Primer describes how integrating data from law enforcement and public safety CAD systems with transportation operating systems can improve incident response, help to save responder lives, and improve safety for travelers on the network.

Lunch with Exhibitors Exhibition Hall Sponsored by: 5.11 Tactical & Verizon “ “ WHAT TO EXPECT...IMPACTS OF MEDICAL/RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA Ed Shemelya has been the National Coordinator for the National Marijuana Initiative (NMI) past six years. The NMI strives to dispel misconceptions about marijuana and raise awareness of issues surrounding the drug, so that citizens and policymakers can make well-informed choices regarding marijuana use and regulations. At its core, the NMI exists to support the 33 HIDTAs as they work to carry out the National Drug Control Strategy. The NMI does this by providing informa- tion to law enforcement, policymaker, prevention coalitions, and other commu- nity groups concerning marijuana and the impacts of changing policies on marijuana. Ultimately, the NMI works to assist people in making informed choices about marijuana by providing them with valid information. Ed Shemelya is a 30-year veteran of the Kentucky State Police. Prior to his Ed Shemelya current assignment, he served as the Eastern Region Marijuana Coordinator for National Marijuana Initiative the Appalachia HIDTA, and was responsible for the oversight of marijuana National Coordinator cultivation activities within the four state Appalachia HIDTA region. In 2003, he was appointed Commander of the Kentucky Governor’s Marijuana Strike Force and the Kentucky Eradication Initiative, within the AHIDTA. This multi-agency task force comprised of Federal, State and Local agencies is tasked with fighting Kentucky’s outdoor and indoor marijuana problem.

  • State and Provincial Police Planning Sections (SPPPOS) 2008 Directory
    IACP State and Provincial Police Planning Sections (SPPPOS) 2008 Directory For Law Enforcement Use Only Prepared by the Colorado State Patrol Revised: July 17, 2008 Introduction: SPPPOS The State and Provincial Police Planning Officers section (SPPPOS) is a part of the Division of State and Provincial Police of the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP). Membership includes police agencies with responsibilities consisting of both highway patrol and criminal investigation responsibilities in the service of state and provincial governments, the federal government of Canada, or other sovereign governments exercising jurisdiction over territories within the United States or Canada. The organization is comprised of five geographic areas; the North Atlantic, North Central, North Atlantic, Mountain Pacific, and Southern regions. Each region may convene meetings as needed. An international conference is held annually. The purposes of the organization are to facilitate the exchange of planning information and experiences among member organizations and other planning associations, to serve as a resource available to all members of the section for dealing with agency issues and problems, and to maintain an on-line projects and statistical data base for access to all section members. Additionally, SPPPOS strives to provide for the sharing of information among member organizations and to encourage the development of the planning function within member organizations. An annual conference is graciously hosted by a different member state each year. Conference agendas include some of the most timely and provocative issues facing state and provincial police organizations. The advances and challenges of information technology, communications, mobile data computing, patrol car accident investigation, officer safety, policy development, operational issues, and budget issues have been topics of past conference agendas.

    PUBLIC SAFETY The Impact of Terrorism on State Law Enforcement By Chad Foster and Gary Cordner Traditionally, state-level law enforcement has represented about 10 percent of total police employment in the United States. In keeping with this employment level, state law enforcement has traditionally played an important, but relatively small role in the overall picture of policing America. The information collected for this project, however, indicates an expanding role for state law enforcement since 2001, partly due to new roles and responsibilities associated with homeland security, and partly because state police are filling gaps and vacuums created by shifts in federal law enforcement priorities. Thus, while it is true that all types of police agencies have been significantly affected post Sept. 11, it seems that state law enforcement agencies have been affected the most. In recent years, Arizona established the Arizona tablished in 1835.2 Most state agencies, however, are Counter Terrorism Information Center, a combined relatively new.
