MINNESOTA CHIEFS OF POLICE ASSOCIATION DEDICATED TO THE IDEALS OF PROFESSIONAL POLICING
We welcome articles/content for this newslet-ter. Please submit arti-
week. Announcements run generally for one or two weeks and then we
archive C-NOTES online for members.
Executive Director’s Weekly Report
The results of our recent MCPA member survey
show that a majority of you value communications
from the MCPA office.
One of my objectives is to further enhance our com-
munications both in terms of the content and the de-
livery methods. Information is power and the more
we can stay connected with one another the stronger
we’ll be as an association.
With this in mind, I’m launching a weekly Executive Director’s report in C-Notes. The
goal is to keep you up-to-date with what’s happening with MCPA programs and initia-
tives.
CLEO Certification
A quick update on CLEO Certification. The CLEO Certification Task Force met this
week and approved the first six applications that make up our “test group.” These appli-
cations will now be sent to POST Board staff for review. We believe we ironed out the
final few wrinkles in the application process and should be ready shortly to rollout the
program to CLEOs and command staff. Look for more information on how you can be-
come certified in C-Notes and on the MCPA website in the weeks ahead. We’re very
excited and proud to be launching this gold standard professional development program.
We’re confident it will continue to enhance the professionalism of our police leadership
here in Minnesota.

THIS WEEK’S ANNOUNCEMENTS—CONTINUED
DEADLINE EXTENDED: Midnight EDT; Monday, June 30, 2014
Dear Law Enforcement Official:
On behalf of IACP’s Civil Rights Committee, we invite you to submit an application for the esteemed IACP Civil Rights Award. Since the
initiation of this award in 2000, the committee has continually sought to counter the negative images of the profession that sometimes are
portrayed in the media, particularly in the wake of suspected breaches of civil rights. While these incidents deserve attention, they are iso-
lated exceptions to the rule. A broader look at the efforts undertaken by law enforcement agencies reveals that the profession is often at
the forefront of human and civil rights protection, not just in the United States but in nations across the globe. The Civil Rights Award helps
make certain that the noble efforts of our profession to promote civil and human rights receive due recognition.
Past award recipients have been recognized for diverse programs promoting civil and human rights. Agency and individual awards have
been presented for outstanding efforts in areas such as investigation of hate crimes, outreach to disenfranchised groups within the commu-
nity, and diversity recruitment efforts that have had measurable impacts.
The Civil Rights Committee at IACP will select award winners in the following award categories.
Single-Agency Program\Project Award
Individual Achievement Award
Lifetime Achievement Award
Multi-Agency Team Award
International Human Rights Award
For information about how to apply for the IACP Civil Rights Award, please click here. Instructions are available with the downloadable application form. All applications must be received by the IACP no later than midnight on June 30, 2014.
Agencies and individuals selected for a Civil Rights Award will be recognized at the IACP Conference in Orlando this October. Local and
national news media will be notified.
Please accept this invitation to help showcase what your agency, a neighboring agency, or one of your peers has done to protect and pro-
mote human and civil rights. By showcasing efforts in agencies like yours, the IACP Civil Rights Award can portray our profession in an
accurate light; provide examples for other agencies to emulate, and help us all maintain the respect, trust and partnership of the communi-
ties we serve.
Please contact Brandon Gardner at [email protected] or 1-800-THE-IACP, extension 815, if you have any question or need further assistance.

OTHER TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES
“De-escalation Strategies for Minnesota Veterans in Crisis” Training
The Upper Midwest Community Policing Institute is proud to team up with the Minnesota Depart-ment of Public Safety in the presentation of the MN POST approved course entitled “De-escalation Strategies for Minnesota Veterans in Crisis”.
The 8-hour training is designed to enhance the knowledge, skills and capacity of first-responding law enforcement officers and relevant public safety personnel to recognize the factors that im-pact the veteran’s ability to reintegrate into their communities and provide verbal tactical tools to
effectively defuse potentially life threatening situations. The course instructors, one LE and one military, will be supple-mented during a working-lunch by specialists who will identify the local resources available to public safety when dealing with service members and their families. Do not miss out on this important training opportunity. We are committed to making multiple presentations in all of the regions of the state and our training calendar is filling up fast. The tuition is only $15 to offset the cost of refreshments and lunch.
