COMMUNICATION NOTES June 19, 2014
Vol. XXV Issue 25
MINNESOTA CHIEFS OF POLICE ASSOCIATION DEDICATED TO THE IDEALS OF PROFESSIONAL POLICING
We welcome articles/content for this newslet-ter. Please submit arti-
cles/content to [email protected] by 10am Thursday each
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.

POST Board appointment
Governor Mark Dayton has appointed Maplewood Police Chief Paul Schnell, a Director on the MCPA Board, to
serve on the POST Board. Chief Schnell’s POST Board appointment became effective June 18, 2014.
He replaces former Minnetonka Police Chief Mark Raquet, who retired on May 31, 2014.
Chief Schnell joins Waite Park Police Chief Dave Bentrud, also an MCPA Director, on the POST Board, which is
currently in the process of searching for a new Executive Director.
Please Welcome Joe Sheeran to the MCPA
I’m pleased to announce that Joe Sheeran began this week as the As-
sociation’s new Outreach Coordinator. In this role, Joe will wear
many hats, including managing C-Notes, assisting in our legislative
efforts and helping coordinate training and educational programs.
I’ve known Joe for several years and am confident that he’ll be a
great fit. He was selected for this position from a pool of nearly 90
candidates.
Prior to joining the MCPA staff , Joe worked as communications
director for a St. Paul-based think tank focused on rural economic
development, education, and local government policy. He helped the organization explain the importance of ensur-
ing Greater Minnesota communities received the resources they needed to maintain high quality public services,
including police, fire and EMS protection. Like me, he began his career on the “dark side” as a journalist. He re-
ported on public safety issues in college for Temple University's radio and television stations. His journalism ca-
reer put him in contact with police departments in big cities like Philadelphia and rural communities from the
South Dakota prairies to the Kansas plains.
Joe’s a Philadelphia native, but we won’t hold that against him. He now lives in Minneapolis with his wife, a
Worthington, Minnesota native, and son.
I encourage you to reach out to Joe to say hello and if you have anything that you want in C-Notes or on the
MCPA website, please don’t hesitate to contact him at [email protected] or 651- 368-2951. He may be contacting
you in the near future.
If you’d like me to address a topic or have questions about anything in the Executive Director’s report, please
send me an email at [email protected].

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.
