  • A Guide to Survival
    A Guide to Survival Information for family and friends of homicide victims Department of Justice Iowa Attorney General’s Office Crime Victim Assistance Division Survivor Tree The photograph on the cover of this guide is of the “Survivor Tree” (permission to reprint by Jeter Photography) at the Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial in downtown Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. This American Elm tree survived the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995. It is now a prominent part of the Oklahoma City National Memorial. The Survivor Tree was nearly chopped down in order to recover evidence from the bombing. It was also severely damaged from the blast and, even though the tree was not chopped down, it was believed it would not survive. Nearly a year after the bombing, the tree was beginning to bloom again. The Survivor Tree is now thriving and is a prominent part of the Memorial. The following is the inscription found in the deck wall around the Survivor Tree: The spirit of this city and this nation will not be defeated; our deeply rooted faith sustains us. The cover photo of the Survivor Tree was chosen as a symbol and tribute to all the survivors of homicide. It represents the strength you demonstrate each day and serves as a reminder of the seed of hope that exists for life after great tragedy and loss. 2 Dear Friends: If you are reviewing this booklet because a loved one has been killed in a homicide, please know that we extend to you our sympathy and support.

  • Board of Regents State of Iowa Agenda Item 2 October
    BOARD OF REGENTS AGENDA ITEM 2 STATE OF IOWA OCTOBER 31, 2007 Contact: Gary Steinke Marcia Brunson BOARD OF REGENTS POLICY MANUAL PROPOSED ADDITION OF COMPREHENSIVE CAMPUS SECURITY POLICY FIRST READING Action Requested: Consider, as first reading, the proposed addition of the “Comprehensive Security Policy” as the new Chapter 11 to the Board of Regents Policy Manual. Executive Summary: After considerable discussion at the September meeting about safety and security and the arming of certified law enforcement officers employed at the three universities, a motion was passed that a comprehensive security policy be developed for review by the Board. An additional motion approved at the September meeting specified that the policy would include a section relating to the arming of certified law enforcement officers. Through discussions with the Board Office staff and representatives of the universities as well as with other constituencies and agencies, a proposed policy has been developed. It is proposed that the “Comprehensive Security Policy” be added to the Board’s Policy Manual as a new chapter. The current Board policy relating to security which appears in Chapter 4 would be deleted with the adoption of the new chapter. The full text of the proposed chapter is provided in Attachment A. Highlights of the policy are bulleted below. • Authority is delegated to each institution head to implement comprehensive safety and security policies and procedures. • The proposed policy institutes the requirement for an annual governance report to the Board on safety and security. The report would address areas such as the status of safety and security including mass communications capabilities; threat assessment; physical security capabilities; and training of institutional personnel.

EQCE077368 vs. PAUL PATE, in his official capacities as RULING ON MOTIONS FOR the Secretary of State of Iowa, and SUMMARY JUDGMENT DENISE FRAISE, in her official Capacities as the County Auditor of Lee County, Iowa, Respondents. On August 6, 2015, Petitioner and Respondents’ Motions for Summary Judgment came on for hearing. Petitioner Kelli Jo Griffin appeared through her attorney Rita Bettis. Respondents appeared through Iowa Solicitor General Jeffrey Thompson. After reviewing the entire summary judgment record and hearing the arguments of counsel, the Court enters the following Ruling: I. Statement of the Case. Petitioner, Kelli Jo Griffin, (“Griffin”) seeks summary judgment granting declaratory judgment and supplemental relief to protect her right to vote and substantive due process. First, Griffin claims the statutes, regulations, forms, and procedures which disqualify her from registering to vote and voting constitute denial of her right to vote in violation of the Iowa Constitution because her prior felony conviction for delivery of less than 100 grams of cocaine is not among the category of felonies which qualify as “infamous crimes” under article II, section 5 of the Iowa Constitution; and 1 E-FILED 2015 SEP 25 1:50 PM POLK - CLERK OF DISTRICT COURT Second, Griffin claims the burden on her fundamental right to vote in Iowa resulting from those statutes, regulations, forms, and procedures that bar her from voting without a grant by the Governor of a restoration of her right to vote, violate her right to substantive due process assured under article I, section 9 of the Iowa Constitution because they fail to meet the rigors of strict scrutiny analysis.

This report complies with Chapter 29A.12 of the Code of Iowa by providing a comprehensive record of our transactions and expenses during the state fiscal year, and further serves as a permanent historical reference. The Iowa Army and Air National Guard continue to significantly impact the economic prosperity of the state and brought over $373M in Federal funds while contributing to a strong national defense and protecting Iowa’s citizens. The Iowa Army and Air National Guard began State Fiscal Year 2019 at just under 100% of authorized strength. Our ability to recruit, train, and maintain high-quality men and women in our units continues to be paramount in our ability to prepare and deploy combat-ready units for global contingency operations. The recruiting and retention rates of our Iowa National Guard ranks as one of the highest in the nation. The operational tempo of the Iowa National Guard continues at a high level. Our focus in 2019 was on strength readiness, training individual members, preparing combat-ready units with realistic and rigorous training, and maintaining our equipment in a ready condition.
