Directors

IPOA Golf Tournament and Fun Walk/Run
Re: Change of Direction for the IPOA Golf Tournament and Fun
Walk/Run
As per our discussion during the last Board of Directors meeting, I
would like to change the direction for the funding events I now do for
IPOA.
First, I would like to make it clear that this change is not due to any
dissatisfaction with the Idaho Peace Officers Memorial’s Board of
Directors, of which I am a member. IPOA has been 100% supportive in all
of my fund-raising efforts for the last four years. The change is due to
my desire to help individual peace officers in need rather than the
Memorial.
Correction Corporation of America has given the Memorial a little over
$97,000.00 over the last six years, of which $86,000.00 has been raised
since I took over the events four years ago. These funds should be
sufficient to complete the ten-year building plan.
The change is due to the increasing deaths and injuries peace officers
statewide are now experiencing. Idaho has had twelve officers shot in
the last thirty-six months. In addition, Idaho lost eight peace officers
in the last six years. I would like to support the families of officers
like these.
Change of Direction
This change in direction warrants more discretionary
control over the distribution of funds that I raise for Idaho law
enforcement officers in need. I will still make annual contributions to
the Idaho Peace Officers Memorial.
Proposal
Each year, I conduct three fund-raising events. The events are:
1. The Idaho Peace Officers Memorial
Golf Tournament
2. The Idaho Peace Officers Memorial
Fun Walk/Run
3. Funds from the sale of hats, t-shirts, badges, etc.
Anticipated annual revenue for these events should be between $10,000.00
and $17,000.00. I will not do a raffle for quite some time.
These funds would be disbursed within a five-tier program: First – Peace
officers who are killed in the line of duty
Second – Peace officers wounded in the line of duty
Third – Peace officers killed or wounded, but not in the line of duty
Fourth – Family members of peace officers in need
Fifth – Annual contribution to the Memorial
I would also like to promote wider recognition for the Idaho Peace
Officers Association.
I cannot resign from the Memorial Board until after Oct. 10th as I still
have funds coming until after that date.
Support from the IPOA
Because of this proposed change of direction, I would like the
IPOA Board of Directors:
1) To have exclusive, sovereign control and governing power over all of
my fund-raising events.
2) To act as a monitoring body for all fiscal activity conducted by my
fund-raising efforts.
3) To act as an advisory board to assist in the proper disbursement of
funds by me.
4) To consider 501(3)c status.
5) To support my efforts to actively promote public awareness of the
IPOA.
6) To create a distinguished slogan for the IPOA. I imagine this is
already done.
Finally, I would like to thank the Idaho Peace Officers Association
for their consideration and support for allowing me to join and become a
functioning part of the IPOA. If you have any questions please feel free
to contact me at any time. I am looking forward to meeting with the
Executive Board again.

A Message From The President:
Spring 2008
As the cover of the magazine depicts, our winter has been full
of surprises. School closures, record snowfall, strong winds,
and many evenings sitting around the fireplace wishing for
warmer weather are all part of living in Idaho. Although we need
the moisture, it is always nice to see the melting action and
our reservoirs start to fill up. The picture helped me identify
the many challenges we face daily, not knowing what lies ahead,
visibility lessened by the outside forces,
and needing to slow down to find our way. Even with all the
obstacles, we have a clear vision of where we want to go during
the storm; it may just take a little longer to get there due to
the complications immediately facing us. But with determination,
moving forward cautiously, and preparing ourselves for the
hindrances, we will become stronger in years to come.
Director Daryl Wheeler from Sand-point Police Department has
decided to focus his attention with the Fraternal Order of
Police efforts. I thank him for his service to IPOA and look
forward to working closely in future legislative or community
events.
I had the opportunity to visit with many officers this past year across
the State of Idaho. My comment to them is that it is more
imperative than ever for them to belong to an association,
whether it be IPOA, FOP, or some other law enforcement related
association. The benefits of networking, being cohesive on
legislative issues, and being part of a brother/sisterhood of
people with common interests are important in our profession.
Some have stated that they already belong to FOP or another
organization, which my comment is that you can belong to as many
organizations as you want. The more membership numbers that we
as representatives can show legislators and government
officials, the more clout we will have in representation for
issues.
Our Association faces many challenges in the coming years. As your board
of directors projects where to focus our attention, RETIREMENT
is a major concern. In meeting with the Public Employee
Retirement Coalition monthly, with representatives from the
Idaho Education Association, State Employees Association,
Firefighters Association, and many other professional groups, it
has become apparent that an effort to place more funds in state
employee’s pockets by sacrificing benefits will be a major
battle. Not only does this effect state employees, but those
that are retired and all of us under the PERSI. In the upcoming
magazines, I will provide some articles to help educate and
inform of the upcoming issues related to PERSI and provide ways
for each member to let their legislators know that our
retirement is a valuable asset to each of us. PERSI is ranked in
the top 5% of all public retirement systems in the nation. For
politicians to enter into a discussion on what we, as public
employees want, without listening to the vast majority of the
stakeholders is unethical. We must be ready to act with all the
other associations when the call comes to respond.
Your board of directors met in February and decided to take on
several new projects. First of all, the
board established a dedicated fund for “Idaho’s Fallen Heroes”
to assist officers and families in time of need, such as a
shooting, injury, or other catastrophic event. There is an
upcoming golf tournament in the Boise area in June. Be sure and
watch for more information. Clint Goss and Dan Argyle will be
conducting a pilot project in eastern Idaho to develop a “fun
shoot” and include citizens in the event. Hopefully by August,
this project will attract many participants and agencies to
enjoy the comrodary of law enforcement. The funds raised will be
directed at the Idaho Fallen Heroes fund.
Our Executive Director Bob Gohlson also surprised the board with
announcing his retirement, again, from IPOA to be effective in
May. After more than fourteen years of service to our
organization, Bob is looking forward to enjoying more if Idaho’s
outdoors with his family. We thank Bob and his wife Les for
their dedication and look forward to continued friendships.
If you would be interested in the Executive Director position,
please send a resume to the IPOA office by May 1 so a selection
can be made as soon as possible. As always, thank you for your
support to our association and keep watching for the positive
changes within the
next year.

Coeur d'Alene Police Department
We serve with
pride, dedication, and excellence
Departmental News
The Coeur d’Alene
Police Department has enjoyed a rich history beginning in 1887. The
patrol division is the most visible in the community however there are
many more divisions from within the department that our citizens
interact with on a daily basis. The Coeur d’Alene Police Department
continues to plan and implement strategies to meet the needs of the
community. The community has in turn shown the department much support
with the out pouring of kindness after the shooting of Officer Kralicek
in December of 2004.
Officer Mike Kralicek
has shown tremendous improvement in the past year and a half since the
shooting. He worked very hard with physical therapy and began walking
without assistance prior to the one year anniversary of the incident.
His determination and accomplishments has been a great motivator to all
of us.
For the past few years
the police department has struggled in keeping up with the increase in
the demand for calls for service, without adding any additional officers
to the force. Our community is thriving; however the increase in
population and tourism has increased the need for police services.
Prioritizing our calls for service continues to be our mode of operation
due to the sheer volume of calls.
This issue is not
unique to the police department. It is common in any growing community.
The Mayor and Council have been very pro-active in there work with Chief
Carpenter to hire three more police officers this year. That would bring
our total sworn officers to 68.
The Coeur d’Alene
Police Department Motor Unit has kicked off the second season of traffic
enforcement since it’s inception in 2005. The Police Department has
continued the lease program provided through Bear Tooth Harley owned by
Barry Usher in Billings Montana. Under this program the department
acquired two 2005 Harley Davidson Motorcycles for $1.00 each. Those
bikes have recently been traded in for 2006 models at the same rate of
$1.00 each. Bear Tooth Harley has been very supportive of law
enforcement and has given the department a valuable tool for
enforcement.
Last year Coeur
d’Alene Police purchased the necessary equipment such as radio’s,
sirens, lights, uniforms, gear, and training motorcycles. This year’s
motorcycles will utilize the equipment from those bikes. Because of the
lease program there is a savings to the City of approximately sixteen
thousand dollars per motorcycle.
Through the research
done for the Coeur d’Alene Police history project, it was discovered
that the police department utilized Harley Davidson motorcycles in the
patrol division in the early 1950’s.The Harley Davidson model was chosen
because it’s more like the vintage bikes in the original police concept
of a motor unit. This image fits well with the atmosphere of the City
and the special events hosted here such as the Car d’Alene and the
classic wooden boat show.
The Motor Unit is a
function of the CARE unit which is an acronym for Community Accident
Reduction through Education. The focus of the CARE team is accident
reduction in high impact areas through traffic education and
enforcement. A shining feature of the motorcycle is
the mobility
that allows for maneuvering better in high accident areas while
conducting traffic enforcement.
Another very important
aspect to the department is the Reserve Officers. We currently have 14
active reserve officers who work a minimum of 16 hours per month. These
officers are not full time. They act as a supplement to the patrol
division and are supervised and accompanied by full time officers. Some
of their activities include working special events such as Ironman, Car
d ‘Alene, and the 4th of July. They are also utilized in
emergency call out situations.
The Coeur d’Alene
Police Department is experiencing great success with the Volunteer Unit
that was established by Chief Carpenter last October. Including our
Coordinator Wally Connally, we now have 18 volunteers working as support
services in many of the divisions within the department. Our volunteers
have various back grounds some with law enforcement experience and some
without.
There are many
opportunities at the police department for transfer. Many young
patrolmen have gone into specialized fields within one year on the job.
Other specialties include the Juvenile Crimes Division (formerly SRO),
the Investigation Division, the Drug Task Force, the K-9 Unit, the
Polygraph Division, Community Relations, Media Relations, Field Training
Officers, Special Response Unit, Special Intervention and Response Team,
the CARE team, the Motor Unit, the Bicycle Unit, Training Coordinator,
DRE specialists, DARE and the Honor Guard. Civilian positions include
Report Takers, Property Officer, Crime Analysis, Equipment Clerk, and
the Records Division.
The Police Department
continues to grow and change with the times. We look forward to what the
future brings and to a continual partnership with the community.
