POLICE PROTECTIVE FUND

When the Police Protective Fund was founded, our organization was one of
the few groups dedicated solely to law enforcer safety. As our organization
grew, we rode a remarkable tide of lower crime rates and an unprecedented
level of safety for law enforcement officers. Then, everything changed.

September 11th ushered in the most deadly year in law enforcement history.
Today, law enforcement officers face a dangerous and uncertain future.
Safety in uniform is no longer a matter of staying alert
and following proper procedure. The men and women
of law enforcement are now confronted with a new
enemy – one so barbaric that, in retrospect, 9/11 was
a failure of imagination. Law enforcement and our
citizens could simply not
envision the unreality of
that day’s events.
The most deadly year in Law enforcers today
law enforcement history... have no illusions. As the
by Phil LeConte, Executive Officer burden of responding to
future acts of domestic
terrorism will once again
fall to local officials, officers face a complicated and
frightening task. Now, in addition to their regular duties,
police officers must master the technology of terrorism
– a skill congested with terms like: weapons grade; toxic biological agents;
and the subtle but lethal differences between alpha, beta and gamma
radiation. In a profession where it is now common to ask, “Have you been
swabbed and Cipro’d?’ — training and education have never been so vital.

Now a priority in law enforcement agencies across the country – safety

awareness through education is and will continue to be the Police Protective
Fund’s primary mission. Guided by an
advisory board comprised of law
enforcement veterans and distinguished Law enforcers today
citizens, PPF pursues this mission by
providing educational publications, videos,
have no illusions.
CD roms, conferences and web-based
training.

As law enforcement faces new and dangerous challenges, the Police

Protective Fund will continue to provide the men and women of law
enforcement with support their heroism deserves.

Phil LeConte, Director

National Association of Veteran

Police Officers
The National Association of Veteran
Police Officers is the proud sponsor of
the Police Protective Fund. An extension
of NAVPO’s commitment to provide
services to law enforcement officers,
PPF’s charitable mission is separately
incorporated allowing funds to be used
for the express purpose of officer
safety education.

HOMELAND DEFENSE CAMPAIGN

Our annual Public Awareness Campaign is a

priority. The centerpiece of our educational
effort has been the creation of a stationhouse
poster.

This year, the poster pays tribute to local law

enforcement’s role in fighting the war on
terrorism.

The poster also informs officers of the new

educational resources found on
PoliceUS A.com -- including FEMA’s
“EMERGENCY RESPONSE TO TERRORISM” and
the ONLINE POLICE ACADEMY.

The only organization to offer this benefit free to any police officer who applies — our
exclusive coverage affords officers the comfort of knowing their loved ones will be
provided for if tragedy strikes. Pursuant to our goal to extend this coverage to every law
enforcer who wishes to enroll, PPF will continue to offer this benefit at no cost. For

National Association of Veteran Police Officers and the Police

Protective Fund Dramatically Expands Educational Resources
National Association of Veteran Police Officers and the Police Protective Fund
are pleased to announce the acquisition of the ONLINE POLICE ACADEMY, a law
enforcement educational provider.

Formally a Division of the Smith & Wesson Academy

Formerly a division of the Smith & Wesson Academy, the ONLINE POLICE ACADEMY
found itself looking for a new home when management at S&W de-emphasized
training. As the NAVPO and the Police Protective Fund were already in the process
of developing web-based training courses, it was a natural for our organizations
to assume operation of this important educational resource for law enforcement
officers.

Vital and Timely Courses

“We are delighted to bring these two great organizations
together to provide the law enforcement community with
vital and timely courses that will contribute to the
professional growth of every police officer,” said OPA
Administrator David Dierks. “We welcome the ONLINE
POLICE ACADEMY to the NAVPO family and look forward
to working with our new colleagues.”

Training for the 21st Century

“One reason we’re so excited about hosting the ONLINE POLICE ACADEMY is
that it will allow us to bring the experts straight to officers via the internet,”
says NAVPO Special Consultant Jim Lyde. “As the service develops, we can
deliver up-to-minute training courses, so that officers aren’t learning dated
tactics and technologies. Our hope is that these courses will provide officers
the opportunity to better prepare themselves for their vital role in our ever-
changing world.”

Web-based Training Courses

Over the months to come, we will be working with our current faculty and law
enforcement experts across the country as we develop the site’s content and
technical infrastructure. While all the course are currently available as electronic
documents, it is our goal to have each course upgraded to an online, interactive
environment before the end of the year.

“The students who have taken JPA have developed a relationship

The Junior Police Academy is privileged to work

with a gifted and enthusiastic National
Advisory Council.
With their support, the Junior Police Academy’s educational
materials now reach into every state, with nearly two
hundred schools and police departments choosing JPA as
their core youth program.

While each of these accomplished professionals brings their

unique talents to our program, their motives for participating
can best be summerized by our newest addition to the Council,
School Administrator Mike Miller:

“Caring about the kids can have a waterfall effect. First

you help the young people, then the parents see the police
officer as something more than a cop -- before long the
whole community is a better place.”

– young people instilled with an appreciation for law enforcement and
their role in society.

LAW ENFORCEMENT’S MOMENT TO ACT

BY SR. SGT SAM COX (RET), SENIOR ADVISORY BOARD MEMBER

As police officers we often deal with society’s darkest and most disturbing secrets. We
know that it is our duty to handle these situations with strength and dignity so that others
will not have to. Even those of us most hardened by our years on the streets, however,
could not escape the heartbreak and bewilderment that followed the tragic events of
September 11th.

When the shock of the attacks passed, many Americans realized that they are not
untouchable, that there are people who will hurt indiscriminately and without cause. This
change in attitude has led to a dramatic increase in law enforcement related legislation
being discussed and acted upon at
the Capitol. For police officers, this
change in attitude means an
opportunity to honor the lives of those
who died by making this country a
safer place to live.

Now that we have finally been given

the floor and people are taking the
time to listen, it’s important that we
push for essential law enforcement
programs and avoid a situation where
scared people spend our nation’s
resources on every harebrained
safety scheme that is introduced in
Congress. We level headed law-
enforcers need to ban together and
tell this country’s leaders where our

dollars can best be spent to ensure
Dept. of Transportation. the safety of our citizens and our way
of life.

I am sure that we could, if given the opportunity, produce a massive list of changes that
need to be made if we wish to make our country a safer place to live. But if we choose to
fight on too many fronts, we’ll get nothing done. If we’re going to fight, let’s fight for a few
changes that everyone can get behind- cops, citizens and politicians alike.

Criminal Analysis

Our first order of business should be to push for more enabling legislation.
That is, legislation that lets us do our jobs. In particular, I’m talking about
criminal analysis. In the past, our opponents (who definitely know how to
play the political game) spun the term criminal analysis, calling it racial
profiling or giving it some other narrow definition in an attempt to turn public
favor against it. They ignored the fact that many issues other than race are
used when determining who is most likely to commit a crime.

By focusing on the race issue, they were able to convince politicians and the
public that criminal analysis is bad. That’s just foolishness and for once we
may have a chance to show that not only does criminal analysis work, it’s
legal and people want it. The way I see it, criminal analysis is no more than an
extension of an officers god given senses. When computer databases
calculate characteristics most closely associated with offenders, these
calculations are no more than an extension of an officer’s brain. THERE IS NOTHING IN
OUR CONSTITUTION
Law Enforcement Technology THAT SAYS THAT WE
HAVE A RIGHT TO BE
ANONYMOUS
It is difficult to justify the cost of embracing every new technology that is presented as a
support for law enforcers. But there is absolutely no excuse for our failure to completely
embrace at least a few of the new tools that are out there. The two that seem to be the
most important and the most effective are DNA fingerprinting and surveillance cameras
equipped with face recognition software. DNA fingerprinting, while expensive initially, will
pay for itself a thousand times over once adopted. When we can eliminate the legal and

32
 scientific doubt still presented by traditional fingerprints, everyone will save time,
effort and money.

Face identification software will help us to catch those criminals who

know how to beat the system. These careful fugitives avoid those
situations that would allow us to get close to them. But they cannot, unless
they hide away forever, avoid the tireless eye of the surveillance camera.
Even the most elusive of criminals will have to come out somewhere and
if we are watching, we’ll get’ em. Today’s law enforcement technology is
essential and refusal to adopt it is a sure way to encourage aggressors.
The criminals are using advanced technology and we better do the same
if we want to keep up.

Imagine if we were all
connected, law enforcers from
all over the country - municipal, county, federal –no arguments over jurisdiction, just
cops working together. Imagine that you could touch a button and see that a person
was driving with a suspended license from a state 1500 miles away or that a federal
warrant had been issued on this person but never served.

When making a traffic stop with that type of information at our disposal, we might be
able to catch that little quirk that says, ‘Hey, something isn’t
right here, this guy doesn’t fit.” With that type of information, we
might be able to hold onto those criminals who would have
otherwise driven away with a speeding ticket and a laugh at our
expense.

Strict Enforcement of Immigration Law

Depending on where you live, this issue may not seem like an
everyday concern, but I’ll tell you that for a large percentage of
officers, it is. Because we have been so relaxed about enforcing
our visas and protecting our borders, there is an undue financial
strain on the system and that strain is definitely affecting our

are prepared to pay the same taxes that you do, they don’t
deserve the same privileges that you enjoy.

The Need to Act

I’ve said in the past that the best session of Congress is one when they leave law
enforcement alone. I now think that the tables have turned and its time to tinker with
the system a bit. Believe me, I share this nation’s concern for privacy. And immigration
is not bad, it just needs to be better controlled so that we can anticipate our growth
and prepare accordingly. I think that the best government is the least government.
But there are times when you have to have rules and there are scarier times when
you have to enhance what you’ve already got.

NAVPO JOINS
FEMA TO PROMOTE
IMPORTANT NEW
COURSE ON TERRORISM
Working with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Police
Protective Fund & NAVPO have launched a yearlong campaign to promote and
encourage law enforcement officers to enroll in FEMA’s “EMERGENCY RESPONSE
TO TERRORISM”.

A Top Priority
Because of the importance of this information, NAVPO & PPF are making access
and knowledge of this course a top priority -- promoting the course through
publications, news releases, a promotional poster and a high-profile link from our
website (PoliceUSA.com).

“I want to congratulate
NAVPO in being the first
“I want to congratulate NAVPO in

hope others will follow
NAVPOs lead in educating Director Joe Allbaugh, FEMA Director Allbaugh
and preparing first
responders on terrorism.”

Vital Source of Information

The course is a vital source of information for all first responders and includes a
wealth of critical information regarding terrorism and its impact on the safety of law
enforcement officers.

A self-study course, it is designed to provide a general introduction to first responder

awareness at the scene of a potential terrorist incident. “What’s unique about this
course” says Allbaugh, “is a fundamental awareness of terrorism: What it is, how to
recognize it and how to prepare for it. With that awareness, first responders are
safer and better prepared.”

 Training is Invaluable
“I have always felt that training officers
is the most important function of any
police department,” adds NAVPO Special
Consultant Jim Lyde. “Training is
invaluable for officers both young and
old. It’s vital to help officers reach that
goal of, “Protect and Serve.”

A Gold Mine of Information

“For the police officer concerned
about the dangers that terrorism represents to his safety --
’Emergency Response to Terrorism’ is a gold mine of
information,” says Lyde. “This course will help officers
prepare for the possibility of being a first responder to
incidents of terrorism. As we all know, being an officer means
long stretches of boredom, punctuated by infrequent
explosions of extreme stress. This course will help officers
prepare for the really big crisis, when lack of preparation
means that people might die.“

“Courses like this help officers to visualize the scenarios

they may face before they face them. By Jim Lyde
planning their responses to a variety of
situations before they arise, officers will
be better prepared to deal with the “For the police officer concerned about the

“We are not miracle workers and we

as best they can for the dangers that lay
ahead. I’m confident that FEMA’s
’Emergency Response to Terrorism’ will help them to do just that.

Law enforcers who wish to take the course or simply review the
material, can do so online at www.FEMA.gov or can link directly to
the site at www.PoliceUSA.com

Certificate of Completion
There is a final examination, located at the end of the course materials
that will test the knowledge gained from the course. To receive an
NFA Certificate of Completion, the completed examination form is
mailed to the address provided on the form. Law enforcers must
score 70 percent or higher in order to receive the certificate. Upon
successful completion, certificates will be mailed within six to eight
weeks.

The internet, postcards & posters have been used

to promote the course. For more information about

I’m not a counselor, I do know that we need to
make certain all options have been exhausted
before an officer walks out the door. Specifically,
we need more counselors out there, both in the
police departments and in the academies.

Above all, we must offer both the opportunity and

the strength to talk out their problems. Once
they’ve been given the opportunity to grieve,
without the fear that they will be seen as weak or
unfit, then they will be in a better position to know
if they can still be a benefit to law enforcement.

Despite this crisis in the ranks, the events of

September 11th have had one surprising effect.
The images remain. Here in New Jersey and across the country, there
are scores of new recruits showing up to test for
one or two patrol positions. Even more reassuring
to me, is the excitement of young people I meet who are
now anxious to get out there and do their part. While the
scars of 9/11 are still healing, it is reassuring to know
that there is a new generation of young citizens ready
to take up the colors and fight.

• The duty agent must wear rubber gloves and a mask

or suspicious boxes are opened outside the office.
• As drug smugglers find themselves unable to cross
the tighter Mexico/Texas border, their usual routes, many
of them are rerouting through Southern Florida.

Changes Here to Stay

While things are slowly returning to normal, there are a
few changes that are most likely here to stay:
• In each region select agents are now assigned to do
nothing but review and gather intelligence on terrorists,
while Special Task forces made up of U.S. Customs,
FDLE, FBI, border patrol, and local police have been
established to respond to any threat or suspicious
activity.

Changes Long Over Due

Before 9-11 there was a tendency to hide sensitive
information until the last minute. For instance, it was
only after the World Trade Center attacks that officials
discovered that four of the September 11th hijackers
had been stopped for speeding at various times. If police
officers had known that the FBI was looking for the men, The new face of law enforcement.

Information is now flowing freely between the federal
and local agencies. Under a directive issued by Attorney
General John Ashcroft, the FBI has begun posting
thousands of names of individuals identified by
intelligence agencies as “suspected terrorists” but not

million queries a day, the vast majority during routine
traffic stops. Finally, local officers have the right to
know if they’re about to give a traffic ticket to someone
who may have been trained to kill.
Under the new system terrorist suspects cannot be
detained if there is no criminal warrant filed against
them, but the NCIC will give the inquiring officer specific
instructions about what to do — for instance, call the
local FBI office and stall for time until agents can get to
the scene and begin tailing their quarry.

for the high rate is because officers think

SURVIVING STREET PATROL

AUTHOR AND VETERAN POLICE OFFICER STEVE ALBRECHT DISCUSSES
HIS BOOKS, NAVPO AND THE FUTURE OF LAW ENFORCEMENT TRAINING

by Joshua Meeks

Police officers are a tight knit group and if you plan to tell them
something they don’t want to hear, you’d better send a police officer
to do it. Steve Albrecht, a veteran of the San Diego Police Department
and a talented writer, has been filling that role for nearly twenty years.

Steve Albrecht
He has written extensively about the kind of practical, no-nonsense
law enforcement tactics that keep officers alive and on the streets.
Unfortunately, there are a lot of officers out there who don’t want to be told that they need to
change their ways. But Steve’s advice isn’t the same stale, technical style
found in many law enforcement manuals. In fact, he writes in such a loose,
stand-around-after-your-shift way, that even stubborn fourth and fifth year
officers can learn from it.

During his time with the SDPD, Albrecht wrote a column for his union paper,
The Informant. Entitled, “Street Work” his column addressed the types of
issues that experienced officers might overlook. From the simple act of
buckling your safety belt to dangerous dealings with methamphetamine “Officers often have no idea what support
addicts, his advice is directed at those simple, no-brainer mistakes that is available to them.”

get officers killed. When publications like Police Magazine, Police and
Security News and Law and Order Magazine recognized the benefits of Albrecht’s work, his
advice found a national stage.

“It’s the small details that will save your life,” Albrecht replies when asked what piece of
advice seems the most relevant for today’s police officers. Along with John Morrison (a man
that Albrecht describes as a tactical genius), Albrecht wrote “Contact and Cover” a book
that analyzes law enforcement tactics and is still used at the Federal Law Enforcement
Training Center. “John’s idea was a simple one but it works. When two officers are working
together, one talks to the
suspect while the other
watches his partner.” This

to be made. The result is a
Also look to find his courses at greater level of safety for the
ONLINEPOLICEACADEMY.org community, the officers and
the suspect.

Since retiring from the force

in 1999, Albrecht has been president of a threat management firm that specializes in
workplace violence. “There were 675 homicides attributed to workplace violence last year.
Although that may not sound like many, the dark numbers are the unreported cases of
threats, vandalism and sabotage.” One of Albrecht’s responsibilities with the firm is to
teach a four-hour class in which police officers learn how to deal with workplace violence
issues. “People who hate their jobs will fight to the death to keep them even though they are
miserable. What officers have to realize is that when they walk into a workplace violence
situation, the suspect knows the environment better than the responding officer. He knows
the hiding places, the weapons and the escape routes.”

When asked about NAVPO’s efforts to distribute the Bill Kurtis production, “Cop Counselors,”
Albrecht was fully supportive. “Spreading the word about cop counseling helps prevent
suicides by officers who have no idea what resources are available to them.” Citing as an
example, SDPD’s confidential counseling program F.O.C.U.S., Albrecht says the program
allows officers to take personal responsibility for their mental health. “Before FOCUS, we
lost a lot of cops after tragic events, including a 1978 airline crash, killing about 170 people.
Eight cops retired due to stress over that incident. But in 1984, after James Huberty killed
21 people at a nearby McDonalds, mostly little kids, we didn’t lose a single officer to stress.
FOCUS was instrumental after that tragedy in providing counseling and retaining officers.”

respond because that’s their job, because that’s what they do.
