MISSOURI POLICE CHIEFS STAFF
�3
Happy New Year! I am pleased to introduce the Missouri Police Chiefs Association first quarterly electronic newsletter. I am also very honored to assume the position of President of the Association for 2014. I have the utmost respect and admiration for our association and the members it serves.
The Missouri Police Chiefs Association has completed a great year with the hard work of our Executive Director Sheldon Lineback, the MPCA staff, and the outstanding leadership of President Dennis Corley. Collectively, we are stronger and have significant influence on issues impacting law enforcement interests across our state. As we reflect on the accomplishments of our organization through 2013, we can embrace the opportunity to look forward and explore the vision of the future for our association.
The Missouri Police Chiefs Association exists to serve the members. The association is dedicated to providing services and information that enables law enforcement administrators to access resources that will assist them in their mission of protecting their communities. Through the association, we can encourage and facilitate collaborative efforts among our membership to improve the feeling of safety and security for all those living in and traveling through our state.
We will continue to monitor issues under consideration by our state legislators that impact our profession. Our legislative agenda will provide us a clear platform to communicate with those influencing the legislative process. This agenda is thoughtfully prepared with input from everyone in the association and is crafted to enhance services we provide to our communities.
The fourth session of the MPCCF Command College has started and by all accounts is a tremendous success. This is a clear example of how an idea to enhance the professional standing of law enforcement officers in the state can be formed, refined and implemented. The standard of the training experience is second to none and the partnership with Lincoln University is an outstanding achievement. By the end of this session, the MPCCF Command College will have graduated more than ninety practicing police officers in our state, preparing them to take their place as leaders in their organizations.
I look forward to working with Sheldon and members of the Executive Board this year on behalf of our members. I will make every effort to meet your expectations as your president. I take on this responsibility with humble gratitude and an attitude of service. Please let us know how we can serve you.
Sincerely,
!!

Dear Missouri Police Chief Members, As we face the beginning of the new year, 2014, we have received some exciting news announcing the merger between Docview LLC and Appriss Inc. We have lifted an excerpt from that message and included it below to inform our members of this change. !“Greetings, I wanted to take a minute and introduce you to the company "Appriss" who has recently merged with Docview.

AUTHOR: CHIEF DAN FLYNN!
In social media, there are continual conversations involving matters concerning public safety. This idea has been emerging in today’s law enforcement narrative for the past three years. Forward-thinking chiefs have been properly advocating that departments need to become part of those conversations; and failure to do so—in this day and age—may mean that departments are missing an ever-growing opportunity to stay in touch with current public safety issues in their communities. !Chiefs who buy into the value of monitoring social media for public safety purposes are immediately confronted with the reality that in order to monitor it consistently and with continuity, they need to dedicate a qualified, organized, interested police employee to manage it. Thereafter, employees who take on the task quickly realize the enormity of it when they find that well beyond the most popular social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter, there are dozens
more and each has thousands, if not tens of thousands, of users. !Cyberspace Challenges Beyond the challenges of involving police operations into the milieu of social media, forward-looking chiefs today also need to concern themselves with a much larger, rapidly growing array of cyber issues relative to law enforcement. Truly the complexity of cyber, or Internet-related, issues confronting today’s police officers has become mind-boggling for them. On a daily basis, officers are called upon to immediately assist victims of identity theft, online credit card fraud, computer hacking, and various kinds of online harassment. In addition, they are frequently called upon to deal with a wide range of nefarious activities involving cell phones, mobile computers, global positioning systems, online digital camera feeds, and the electronic circulation of a variety of digital images. !In addition to all of the information technology issues, officers find themselves dealing with victims of cyber-crimes
who are distressed and confused about losses of their money, dignity, or privacy and are concerned with their personal safety; as well as suspects who seem invisible because their crimes take place in cyberspace. The suspects may be in the same room, or building as the victim, or on the other side of the world. Officers and detectives serving the community are confronted daily with cyber-information problems, technologies, and new products that often challenge even the most adept highly trained information technology experts. !Notwithstanding the dilemmas patrol officers face, investigators also race to make effective use of a plethora of cyber-information systems designed to trace firearms, vehicles, fingerprints, stolen property, forensic evidence, and online paperless record systems. While criminals race to cleverly find new ways to hide their digital footprints and of course their identities; the social media provides a wealth of information and valuable criminal intelligence about
Police Cyber Specialist Position
crime and criminals. For the average officer striving to prevent crime and protect the public from harm, keeping up with the opportunities and resources available on the information superhighway can be a daunting task. !
Beyond the police-victim-criminal scenario and resource management issues, police leaders face an additional dilemma. As the public clamors for online public safety information in the form of instantaneous online alerts, advisories, and news flashes about incidents and events—neighborhoods, business groups, and elected officials demand online maps and historical information about crime trends. Concurrently, there is a daily onslaught of new cyber management information systems designed to digitize administrative systems such as human resources, budget, procurement, fleet management, training, legislation, and so on. In addition, police departments must also contend with the highly competitive area of website content and daily
maintenance, which today include interactive forms and online payment of fees and fines for red light cameras and false alarms—and even assists with court scheduling. !Police Cyber Specialist In order to help officers and the entire Marietta Police Department to cope not only with the growing power of the social media, but also with the cyber-information management opportunities exploding around them, the department developed a new non-sworn hybrid position, entitled the “Police Cyber Specialist” (PCS). The PCS is not an additional Crime Analyst; this is not an IT position dealing with hardware and software issues; and it is not exclusively designed to deal with social media. Rather it is a position analogous to an Air Traffic Controller for all cyber information systems that flow through the department. !
Police Cyber Specialist Position Continued..
About The Author!Dan Flynn is the Chief of the Marietta Police Department; former Chief of the Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police Department. Chief Flynn holds Bachelors and Masters Degrees in Public Administration, and he is a graduate of the FBI National Academy. He was the 2012 Georgia Chief of the Year and he is a member of the Evidence-Based Policing Hall of Fame.
The PCS position includes the following list of duties: !
1. On a daily basis, monitor Facebook, Twitter, and other relevant social media sites focused on posts concerning past and future local crime and events in Marietta. Alert the designated representative of the Criminal Investigations Division or Patrol Division or both of emergent criminal or event information.
2. Establish search engine alerts on the World Wide Web for phrases and terms relevant to law enforcement, criminal intelligence, and public safety in Marietta, Cobb County, and its municipalities, and Metropolitan Atlanta.
3. Serve in a function best described as an MPD “cyber librarian.” Specifically, develop and maintain a thorough descriptive compendium (referenced inventory) of cyber-information systems
—both public and by subscription—that are available to MPD officers, investigators, managers, support staff, and volunteers to assist in the performance of their duties.
4. Assist the MPD Public Information Officers with cyber distribution of public information via press releases, news bulletins, public safety alerts, etc.
5. Assist police investigators in searching Internet-based criminal justice and law enforcement information systems for investigative research purposes. Also, assist investigators with routing and distribution of both incoming and outgoing interagency information sharing.
6. On a weekly basis, review all pages and links to the MPD website and police pages of the city’s intranet (GemNet) to ensure all posted information is
current and clearly accessible.
7. Coordinate and manage the MPD cyber community alert system, e.g., Nixle. Specifically, assist MPD personnel in issuing alerts of hazardous conditions, roadway detours, and breaking public safety news to the community of subscribing residents.
8. Track stolen goods that have Marietta posts on websites such as Craigslist and eBay.
9. Assist MPD recruiters with cybervetting job applicants. !
In order to staff the PCS position with an employee with a keen interest and education in criminal justice as well as an up-to-date acumen for the cyber world, the Marietta Police Department partnered with nearby Kennesaw State University and identified a graduate student who clearly met the criteria.
Police Cyber Specialist Position Continued..
With grant funding provided by the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant, the student was hired on a part-time basis and assigned to the department’s Criminal Investigations Division where she could work closely with the department’s existing Crime Analyst and investigators. From the inception of this position, the department began tracking her progress and indeed the value of the position to the entire police department. !Conclusion At the time of this writing, the PCS position has been in operation for only five months. Nonetheless, it is not premature to say the department is enjoying astounding success with it. All
of the benchmarks of the job description are clearly being met and exceeded; and acceptance by the entire department has been overwhelmingly positive. Aside from meeting all of the original benchmarks, the PCS has already been the key to solving several criminal cases including cyber-crimes, tracking runaways and missing persons, and enhancing the flow of information throughout the organization. Therefore, MPD is highly optimistic about the ground-breaking progress and future of the Police Cyber Specialist position.

This is the first of a two-part series on leadership in law enforcement: Part II!
The responsibilities of a chief of police are becoming more complex with each passing day. The position always had its challenges — leading an organization in highly fluid environments, both internal and external, where the day can transform from standardized routine to chaotic crisis within mere moments.!
Still, in the past, there was also a greater sense of stability, especially in smaller communities where there was less turnover in population, where many citizens and officers were on a first-name basis and where the laws were more readily applied to community occurrences because they represented the basic rules with which we were raised.!
Today's police chief faces a constantly shifting landscape with a far more mobile and communicating public, growing integration of vastly differing cultures, the emergence of sophisticated electronic crimes not even fathomable 20 years ago and a public that is becoming more expectant on local government to provide "feel-good" or "comfort" programs.!
Many of these same challenges, however, are not unique to law enforcement services alone. Decision-makers in local governments are constantly lobbied by growing numbers of interest groups for money or services to further their own causes. These external pressures divert the attention of policymakers and
the limited resources available for services over an increasing number of programs, while the elected officials try to please their constituency.!
It is fiscally, ethically and ideologically impossible to continue down that road. Changing that direction, however, will require one or more people with unparalleled leadership, political courage to stand against that tide, vision to take what is to a newer level of what could be, and a tenacious belief in what must be done.!
We have worked with many local governments over the years in the development of public policies. Public policies are the stated position of a unit of government concerning issues of common interest to a community and how that representative government prioritizes resources to address those issues.!
Our first questions to a group of elected policymakers were almost always, "Why was this unit of government initially created? Why does it still exist? If this government did not exist at this moment in time, would it be created and why?" The questions typically resulted in blank stares — none of them had ever been asked such a question before, nor had any of them taken a moment to consider their true purpose. They had little or no clue as to their foundation.!
The public policy development process then leads those decision-makers to their own conclusions as to why units of government exist. To paraphrase Abraham Lincoln, governments should only do for the people that which they cannot so well do for themselves as individuals.!
Taking the process further, premised on Lincoln's purposeful reasoning, elected decision-makers we have worked with have always identified the public's safety — to be secure in their persons and property — to be the first and highest responsibility of that government. The second most important responsibility is the maintenance of infrastructure to ensure the free flow of people, traffic and commerce.
Challenges for today’s Police Chiefs: Establishing a Foundation By: Jim Pryde & Rod Brown !

From there the sense of importance in service delivery rapidly dwindles. What this process has done is to refocus the attention of those elected officials on the most basic and critical responsibilities of a local government, how the provision of services should be prioritized, and just as importantly how limited fiscal resources should be allocated.!
To this point, the ideology seems simple and rational. But it's only a first step intended to refocus the policymaker's attention to the correct priorities. The real issues then arise as to what kind of law enforcement services do the policymakers and the community really want?!
Imagine for a moment that you are the captain of a luxury cruise vessel and a rich constituent approaches you wanting to charter the vessel to take his/her family on a luxury vacation. The request is, "Take us on a vacation cruise we will all enjoy."!
Your response would naturally be, "Where do you want to go? What do you want to see? What type of services does your family want or expect?" The questions could go on ad infinitum. This is where the decisions of public policy are formed — creating the correct levels and types of services the community wants and expects at the price they can afford to pay.!
Once again, the development of this part of the policy is the process where priorities are formed between want, need and affordability. The result of this step is an alignment of the types and levels of law enforcement services provided by the police department that is defensible to criticisms and special interest pressures.!
Public policies exist only as long as the sentiments of the authors remain in office and are not unduly influenced by outside pressures. The stability of consistent, fair, articulated law enforcement services provided at adequate levels with adequate funding is sufficiently important as to require additional steps in the public policy process to ensure its permanency.!
There is little in this life that has sanctified permanency, public policy at the local level is best protected through a formally adopted resolution by the elected legislative body of that local government. An adopted resolution is, in essence, one step short
of creating a law or ordinance. It is permanent until some future elected body modifies or overturns it, and it is enforceable.!
The rationale in establishing a formally adopted resolution is to give a foundation to the types and levels of law enforcement services established through the public policy process and through its execution leverage for the sustainability of certain levels of funding. The elected body has set a benchmark for services; therefore, it has an obligation to fund it at the levels it has created.!
Law enforcement executives work hard to establish professional, progressive organizations — castles of sorts, of which to be proud. The competition for limited resources creates instability in the foundation of what has been built. The public policy on policing process fiscally and ideologically solidifies that foundation for the future.
