Printed with State Funds KLEN News Inside Information 3 DOCJT News CCommissioner’sommissioner’s CCommentsomments New Programs Have Positive Effect F.Y.I. on Law Enforcement Leadership John W. Bizzack, Commissioner Department of Criminal Justice Training In past issues of the Kentucky Law Enforcement News, this section of the magazine has usually been reserved for commentary on issues of leadership. This edition continues that theme, but also announces three important new programs affecting the Kentucky law enforcement community related to the theme of this commentary. Rewarding Behavior and Straight Thinking You Want Repeated The number one rule of successful leadership is expecting and rewarding the behavior you want from others. Another central rule is remembering that quick solutions do not always provide the best or only reso- lution to a problem. Oiling squeaky joints does not motivate. Rewarding those who spend time on solving problems, whether they created them or they simply came with the work, instead of making employees responsible for the prob- lems does not inspire either. We always get more of the behavior we reward. The problem comes when we reward the wrong things. Things that get rewarded get done. When we reward the behavior of working together, we develop quality. Quality is a matter of attitude, and it is measured by the cost of not doing things right the fi rst time. At the beginning of World War II as parachute technology was being quickly developed, failure was 5 percent, which means that one of 20 parachutes would not open. Obviously, this rate made it extremely diffi cult to encourage volunteers into airborne units and did little to enhance the morale of paratroopers in training. The problem was solved when the packers were required to jump with randomly selected parachutes they had packed. Successful openings increased to 100 percent. Quality is always rooted in attitude and demonstrated in dependability. Often, in our need to react quickly on matters, we make the mistake of adopting solutions quickly as well: solutions that may seem, at the time, to be the best or even the only solution. A quick answer is all too often a poor one and may even be the worst one, so the problem is not solved, and could create even more problems. Consistently applying the gift of straight thinking, regardless of the issue, is not all that common in business, politics, family or life in general. It’s diffi cult to stop our minds from jumping to conclusions. Sometimes the conclusion we come to quickly is, in a more sober con- Commissioner John Bizzack sideration, a rather lame idea. We might not be able to keep our minds from jumping to conclusions, but we can delay our responses so that we are forced to think things through when expected to exercise leader- ship. The delayed response actually signals the kind of aptitude and straight thinking that situations require. This is different than indecisiveness or procrastination. A delayed response is simply a pause that allows you 4 Inside Information KLEN News to offer your best judgment, not your quickest reaction. This the larger regard for how some programs literally imbalance behavior teaches others to do the same thing as well, and it is the overall effort. There were duplications in services as well the kind of behavior that should be rewarded. as gaps that have evolved as a result.

Add to their duties a full time state job where they serve the Commonwealth of Kentucky as well, and you have a citizen giving back two-fold. “During Operation Iraqi Freedom we flew missions into 59 locations in 38 countries in the Middle East, Southwest Asia, Europe and Africa,” said Colonel Steve Bullard of the Kentucky Air National Guard in Louisville. Bullard was mobilized for 26 months and commanded a composite National Guard and Re- serve C-130 aircraft squadron in Germany. Besides serving in the Air National Guard, Bullard works full time as the Director of Administrative Services in the Department of Military Affairs at the Boone National Guard Center. “We regularly send out two airplanes and three crews on 17-to-45 day deploy- ments to places like Iraq, Bosnia and Central/South America,” Bullard said. Responsible for flying in troops, gear and humanitarian supplies on C-130 cargo planes, Bullard says soldiers are quiet going in to combat zones and boisterous returning home. Regardless your position in state government or elsewhere, he says leaving home is the greatest challenge. “One of the reasons I left active duty was because I was gone so much. I averaged 253 days on the road.” With a wife and three children, Bullard said he missed many winter holidays including two spent in the Middle East. Now Bullard is gratified to have the best of both worlds, working in Military Affairs and in the Air National Guard.

Beshear, State Leaders Provide Update on Kentucky’s Fight Against COVID-19 Key updates on interstate collaboration, testing, Team Kentucky Fund, field hospital Visit the Governor’s Facebook page to watch today’s news conference FRANKFORT, Ky. (April 15, 2020) –Gov. Beshear announced Wednesday that his administration is deepening ties with neighboring Indiana and Ohio in the fight against the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The Governor said he, Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb and Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine have agreed to continue close discussions on responding to the coronavirus pandemic, with an eye toward eventually coordinating plans to reopen the states’ economies. “Regionally, it is so critical,” Gov. Beshear said. “If you live in Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati is right across the river, we have to work together to make sure that one area isn’t on top of the virus and another just brings it in, and vice versa.” The Governor will continue regular calls and planning sessions with neighboring governors and other leaders over the coming weeks. As action is taken, the governors will provide updates. “These two governors and I have been on a call at least once a week, and let me tell you, they care about their people,” Gov. Beshear said. “There hasn’t been one political moment in it, just three people trying to do the best they can surrounded by teams trying to do the best that they can.” He said that the collaboration is essential but that each leader ultimately would make his own decisions.

The order will also require utilities to create a payment plan for residential customers that runs no less than six months. It will continue to waive late fees on utility bills for residential customers through Dec. 31, 2020. *Kentuckians can find additional assistance paying for utilities through the funds and organizations listed here. 10/16/2020 The Kentucky Department for Public Health, an agency of the Cabinet for Health and Family Services, announced an initial, comprehensive draft plan for distributing the COVID-19 vaccine to local health departments and health care organizations.

    The Mission of the Kentucky Autism Training Center Is to Enhance

    The mission of the Kentucky Autism Training Center is to enhance supports for persons with autism by providing information and technical assistance to families and service providers across Kentucky. Autism is a complex developmental disability that typically appears during the first three years of life it is the result of a neurological disorder that affects the functioning of the brain. Autism and its associated behaviors are estimated to occur in as many as 24,975 Kentuckians of which approximately 6,329 are children [National Institutes of Health (2004) & Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2001)]. Autism is four times more prevalent in and knows no racial, ethnic, or social boundaries. Family income, lifestyle, and educational levels do not affect the chance of autism’s occurrence. Autism affects the normal development of the brain in the areas of social interaction and communication skills. Individuals with autism typically have difficulties in verbal and non-verbal communication, social interactions, and leisure or play activities. The disorder makes it hard for them to communicate with others and relate to the outside world. In some cases, aggressive and/or self-injurious behavior may be present. Persons with autism may exhibit repeated body movements (hand flapping, rocking), unusual responses to people or attachments to objects and resistance to changes in routines. Individuals may also experience sensitivities in any of the five senses of sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste. History of the Kentucky Autism Training Center The Kentucky Autism Training Center (KATC) was created Development were internal partners regarding the formation when parents realized the need for an autism resource center of the Kentucky Autism Training Center.
