When I look back • IACP Section on the occupation of the Capitol, we were dealing with something that no one Membership else in the country has had to deal with on such a large scale, with no end in sight. I believe that all the law enforcement agencies that worked on the protests helped us set a standard for dealing with protestors in a civil manner while protecting their first amendment rights. It was the most stressful time in my career, the most educational, and the most rewarding; it has also resulted in the delay of development and distribution of the Capitol Beat newsletter. The Capitol Police Section has hosted several e-meetings recently that included discussion and briefings on capitol protests, as well as section business. At our last e-meeting, it was moved and seconded that I continue to serve as Section Helpful Links Chair for an additional term, to which I have agreed. Our General Vice Chair was http://www.theiacp.org to ascend to the General Chair position at the annual conference in Chicago, but IACP Website is unable to make that time commitment at this point; Captain Michael Spochart will remain in the position of General Vice Chair for an additional term.

Indiana State Capitol Police History and Development The Indiana State Police Capitol Police Section was established in 1888, to protect the grounds and elected officials of the State of Indiana. It has grown from a 9 watchman working group to a professional 68 officer section of the Indiana State Police. The Capitol Police Section merged with the Indiana State Police in July 2002. The Capitol Police Office is responsible for a variety of tasks that include: providing protection for state elected officials, visiting VIPs, and protecting thousands of state employees and visitors every day. They are charged with the enforcement of State laws, regulations, and policies. The Capitol Police are responsible for an estimated one billion dollars’ worth of taxpayer's property. Capitol Police officers are empowered to exercise full police authority in the enforcement of traffic and criminal laws within the state. Among the many and varied duties are resource protection, criminal enforcement and public service. A key responsibility for the Capitol Police is staffing the General Headquarters Operations Desk where incoming calls to the Indiana State Police are answered 24 hours a day. Inquiries are answered or calls are forwarded to the appropriate state police posts across Indiana. The Operations Desk area also serves as the dispatch center for the Capitol Police. Daily Operation Indiana State Police Lieutenant Troy McElfresh serves as the Capitol Police Section Commander. Capitol Police Officers serving as Command Staff are Operations/Telecommunications Commander Major Ron Cutter, Field Operations Commander Lieutenant Jane Peoples, Administrative Officer Sergeant Sherri Hartman and Detective Sergeant Scott Alexander. Lt. Peoples is also an International Police Mountain Bike Association (IPMBA) Certified instructor who trains the section’s bike patrol team. With protection of life and property at the fore-front of daily activities for the Indiana Capitol Police, the expansion of specialized officers are a tremendous asset in today’s heightened environment. Three highly trained Explosive Ordinance (EOD) K-9 units patrol the complex daily as well as assist with state wide explosive emergency calls. These K-9 units, one corporal and two officers; played a major role in providing support for the Super Bowl that took place in our city this past February. Along with the K-9 units, the Indiana Capitol Police have four special trained officers, which are part of the State Police EOD team. The EOD officers are responsible for inspecting mail received at the government complex; as well as responding to emergency situations that involve a possible explosive threat. (Pictured: Officer John Riggers with K­9 Cazik, Corporal Dave Poynter with K­9 Mela, and Officer Michael Sarchet w/ K­9 Aben; take time out for a picture while working at the Indiana Statehouse.) Additionally, the Capitol Police Section is staffed with eight Squad Sergeants which lead three eight- hour shifts. Officers provide security of the public entry points into the State Capitol building, the North and South Government Center, the Governor’s Residence, the Indiana War Memorial, and other state owned properties. The IPMBA certified bike team provides fast deployment to areas of state owned properties that are not easily accessed by a patrol car.
