Leadership Philosophy: Expand Your Mind
Gunnery Sergeant Darnell E. Patton, USMC
Leadership comes in many different shapes and forms. As
leadership comes in different shapes and forms, so does
leadership philosophies. There are people from all walks
of life who have their own philosophy on leadership. Who's
to say which is right and which is wrong? But if you
expand your mind and allow your leadership to grow, you
will benefit any organization.

The 3 Cs of Ethical Leadership
By Sergeant David Ferrante, Parma Police Department
Unfortunately, all supervisors or
managers are not leaders. A good cop is genuinely a
leader to the community they serve. But everyone in
a position of authority is not really a leader. A
well rounded leader possesses the 3 Cs: character,
charisma, and compassion. These are the core
foundation of ethical leadership.

Integrated Biometrics Identification System
By Corporal William McCombs,
Chino Police Department
A recent benefit of computer
technology is the ability for a police officer to
transmit a record of an individual's fingerprint
impressions from the field and receive
confirmation of identity in the amount of time a
routine detention takes. Devices such as the
Integrated Biometric Identification System (IBIS)
or Remote Data Terminal (RDT) make it possible to
catch wanted persons while they are stopped,
regardless of the name or identification they
provide.

Preventing Iraq from Slipping Back into
Sectarian Chaos
By Dr. W. Andrew Terrill, Strategic Studies Institute
It is at least
possible, if not likely, that different
choices on two key 2003 U.S. decisions would
have allowed the United States to withdraw
most of its troops from Iraq well before the
present date. The two decisions that are now
widely understood to have been disastrous
mistakes are the dissolution of the Iraqi Army
and the decision to pursue harsh punitive
actions against vast numbers of former Ba'ath
party members beyond the leadership of
Saddam's regime. Both decisions alienated
Iraq's Sunni Arabs and opened the door for a
strong al-Qaeda presence in Iraq. Despite the
remonstrations of the former Chief
Administrator of the Coalition Provisional
Authority (CPA), it is well understood that
abolishing the Iraqi military rather than
issuing a selective, voluntary recall was one
of the worst mistakes of the war.

Female Suspects: They Can Hurt You!
By Sergeant Andrew Hawkes, Collin County Sheriff's
Office
We have all done it, felt way to relaxed when dealing
with a female suspect. We're big, bad, tough cops
right? Whether we are male or female, we often tend to
let our guard down when dealing with a female. We are
the ones in uniform; that makes us ten feet tall and
bulletproof, Yes? Especially you male officers, a
woman isn't going to be able to hurt you right?

August 2009
National Victim Assistance Academy
The Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) in the U.S.
Department of Justice sponsors the National Victim
Assistance Academy (NVAA). The NVAA is comprised of
education and skill-based classroom trainings for
those who assist victims and survivors of crime.
Following a formal evaluation in 2003, the NVAA was
redesigned to better address the skills and
abilities that are required of victim service
professionals. The revised NVAA was launched in 2007
and includes three distinct tracks tailored to the
needs of each participant. All three tracks will be
offered during the week-long 2009 Academy.

Police Can Now Update Radios Without Taking
Them to the Shop
Police are increasingly using new technology to update
their radio equipment, saving their departments
precious time and money. Over-the-Air maintenance, or
OTA, allows police departments to update radio
software and change a radio's features by beaming the
updates directly to the radios. OTA has been available
to military and cellular networks for years. The
technology is especially helpful in regional
emergencies where public safety organizations need to
communicate effectively across state and county lines.
