ANNUAL TRAINING CONFERENCE OF THE NEW YORK STATE ASSOCIATION OF CHIEFS OF POLICE

2 PROGRESSIVE – PROFESSIONAL – POLICING


PROGRESSIVE – PROFESSIONAL – POLICING 3

July 21, 2013

Dear Delegates, Guests and Friends of the Association:

It is my sincere pleasure to welcome you to our annual conference in beautiful Lake Placid. My term as your President has been rewarding and enlightening for me. There have been a number of events and issues confronting us this past year – synthetic drugs, Superstorm Sandy, the NY SAFE Act, protecting our schools, advocating for amendments to Assisted Outpatient Treatment for the severely mentally ill (Kendra’s Law), the age of responsibility for juveniles and witness tampering/intimidation. Most of all we have continued to fight for legislative protection for police executives comparable to the former Section 207-M.

We have developed training tools and resources in areas such as ignition interlock devices, officer safety, crash reporting, disability awareness and syringe law. We continue to promote high visibility enforcement and other initiatives to help reduce the casualties that occur on our streets and highways.

The strength of our Association is found within our members, committed professionals who strive to provide quality services to keep our communities safe. I am confident you will enjoy the quality of the training sessions, the new and innovative products and services of our exhibitors, and the sharing of ideas and fellowship amongst your colleagues.

Sincerely yours,

Chief Michael C. Biasotti

July 21, 2013

Dear Delegates, Guests and Friends of the Association:

On behalf of the staff of our Association, I welcome you to the High Peaks Resort in Lake Placid. Our training conference is developed with your needs in mind, focusing on emerging issues and needs for today’s chiefs.

Over the past year we have seen tragedy on a national scale – Superstorm Sandy affected several of our member chiefs and shootings in Aurora, Colorado and Newtown, Connecticut shocked all of us. Our Association has been sought out by many for advice on the development of programs and legislation to help us keep our communities safe. In addition to our training agenda for the next few days, I also invite you to visit our website for resources and information on a variety of topics.

This past year has also brought about transition within our Board. Some of our longstanding members have retired. While this leaves us with a void it also provides opportunity for new chiefs to lead the Association. I am grateful for the services of our former Board members and Officers, and also for those who are willing to serve and lead our organization into the future.

If there is anything we can do to make your stay more comfortable, please let me know or stop by our registration desk.

Sincerely yours,

John P. GrebertJohn P. Grebert

SAVIN-NY: Family Court Order of Protection Notification ProjectVictim advocates and criminal justice personnel alike recognize the period of time immediately

following service of an Order of Protection as a particularly crucial period for the victim. Abusers are often more violent during this period of separation. Providing timely notification that an Order of Protection has just been served can be very important information to a victim. SAVIN is an acronym for Statewide Automated Victim Information and Notification. Working in partnership with the NYS Association of Chiefs of Police, the NYS Sheriffs’ Institute was awarded funding through the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) SAVIN program to develop a Family Court Order of Protection Notification System. That system is presently up and running throughout upstate New York.

Any Order of Protection issued by a New York State Family Court or Integrated Domestic Violence (IDV) Court entered into the NYS Order of Protection Registry is eligible for this service. The Order of Protection Notification options currently available to a victim include:

Option 1-Subscription: This option requires that the victim enroll through NY-Alert (www.nyalert.gov) using a valid email address and subscribe to Orders of Protection. This will result in the victim being notified by phone, email, text, fax or iPhone app (iAlertz) when the Order of Protection is reported as served by law enforcement.

Option 2-Inquiry: In those cases were the victim either does not have a valid email address, or chooses not to use it, they still have the option to perform an inquiry on the Order of Protection. An inquiry allows a victim to do an ad hoc query of the Order of Protection to determine its status at that point in time. However, an inquiry does not generate a notification to the victim if the Order of Protection is served at a later date. A victim has the ability to query as often as they feel necessary. The inquiry is still made through www.nyalert.gov or through www.nyalert.gov/op but does not require that the victim be an enrolled NY-Alert user.

Option 3-Case Load Tool: This option allows an advocate or other interested party to enroll as a NY-Alert user and receive notification of service on subscribed Orders of Protection from multiple victims.

Law Enforcement plays a key role in the success of this project in three ways:1. Advising victims of the availability of the program.2. Timely service of the Order of Protection. 3. Timely entry of service information into the Integrated Justice Portal. This is critical in that it

triggers the notification to the victim within minutes of entry.If you require any additional information, please contact:

New York State Association of Chiefs of Police2013 GOLF OUTING

REGISTRATION FORMThis year’s golf outing will be held at the Craig Wood Golf Club

in Lake Placid on Monday, July 22. Shotgun start at 1:00 p.m. The fee is $55 per person for 18 holes and includes a cart.

The founders of the course named it The Lake Placid Golf and Country Club back in 1925. Designed by famed golf course architect Seymour Dunn, The Country Club expanded to 18 holes in 1932. At that time Craig Wood, a native of Lake Placid, had started to win the first of his total 21 PGA Championships, including the 1941 U.S. Open and Masters. In 1954, the Lake Placid golf community decided to change the name of its premiere course to honor its native son. Craig Wood Golf Club was born. In addition to the Lake Placid golf scenery and the course’s rich history, Craig Wood Golf Club features a knowledgeable, hospitable staff. The club also offers lessons and advice from on-site PGA Professional. Combine that with top-notch practice facilities, a full-service restaurant and cocktail lounge and some of the most relaxing yet challenging holes in golf, and you have the Craig Wood Golf Club.



WIRELESS AMBER ALERT PROGRAM™

As of December 31, 2012, the Wireless AMBER Alert pro-gram™ will end operations as part of the nation’s transition to the Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) program. Millions of cellphone users across the country will now receive free, automatic notifications about abducted children in their area as part of the WEA program.

CTIA and the wireless industry joined the Federal Com-munications Commission (FCC) and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to offer WEA to supplement the existing Emergency Alert System. Consumers with WEA-capable smartphones and feature phones and services are automatically enrolled to receive AMBER Alerts for free, along with the Presidential and Imminent Threat Alerts.

Unlike Wireless AMBER Alerts, the WEA AMBER Alerts use the latest technology to send messages to wireless customers with WEA-capable devices in the area where a child has been abducted, even if the wireless customer isn’t from the area.

For example, if a Chicago resident was visiting Boston and a WEA AMBER Alert was issued in Bos-ton, the subscriber would receive the alert. At the same time, if an alert was issued in Chicago, the subscriber would not receive it while in Boston.

Statistics show that the first three hours after an abduction are the most critical in recovery efforts, and being able to quickly engage the public in the search for an abducted child can help law enforcement bring that child home safely. The Office of Justice Program’s AMBER (America’s Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response) Alert Program, named after 9-year-old Amber Hagerman, is a voluntary partnership among law enforcement agencies, the wireless industry, transportation officials, broadcasters and other entities to acti-vate an urgent bulletin to find abducted children. Acting Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Justice Programs Mary Lou Leary is the National AMBER Alert Coordinator responsible for this national network.

Before Wireless AMBER Alerts, AMBER Alerts were issued via television, radio and Department of Transportation highway signs when a child was believed to have been abducted and in extreme dan-

ger. The wireless industry launched the Wire-less AMBER Alerts program in 2005 because its members believed its technology could expand the Alerts’ reach to aid in the recovery of abducted children.

The 700,000 wireless customers currently enrolled in Wireless AMBER Alerts will receive text messages about the transition and alter-native sources for receiving AMBER Alerts.

By using cell phone notifications, we can reach more people quickly. The additional exposure is critical to helping find missing children. When it comes to an abducted child, every second counts.

Chief Steve Heider (Colonie PD), First Vice President of the NYS Association of Chiefs of Police sits on the New York State AMBER Alert Committee.

On October 27, 1904, Association President General William S. Bull addressed the members in attendance:

The object of our Association is well known to every member, and I pre-sume it is known to the gentlemen who have just been elected…this Asso-ciation was organized on November 30, 1901 at Rochester, upon the call of Chief Joseph Cleary of Rochester. Upon that occasion there were eigh-teen chiefs of police from various parts of the State assembled, and they decided to form this Association. A committee was appointed upon con-stitution and bylaws, and the constitution and bylaws formulated at that time was regularly adopted at the next meeting, which was held in Utica. The third meeting was held in Elmira, and the meeting before this, the last meeting, was held in Buffalo, New York.

Our meetings before this have not been very largely attended. We were not able to create very much enthusiasm or interest in an organization of this kind. It must be obvious to every police department in the State of New York, large or small, and the people in charge of municipal governments, whether in cities, towns, or villages, that it is of great importance that their police departments should be in touch with each other. These meetings it was never supposed were for the purpose of discussing any very grave and important objects and business matters. They were more for the purpose of coming together where we can meet face to face and grasp the hand of those with whom we are almost in daily connection upon police matters.

I see here today faces that I have not met before, and I trust that before we leave Binghamton, and I take this occasion to so request, that they will make themselves personally acquainted with me. I should be very glad to grasp every hand, and I can assure them that if at any future time they have occasion to have official business with the department of police of the city of Buffalo, they will never get the frosted face.

RESOLUTION – offered by Chief Hyatt, second by Chief Moore, and same ordered docketed on the minutes.

Resolved, Whereas, under subdivision 3 of section 827 of the Code of Criminal Procedure it is unlawful for any person or officer to take or send any person or persons out of this State without a

requisition first duly had and obtained and without a warrant duly issued by the Governor of this State, no matter if the prisoner or prisoners con-sent to go or not;

And whereas, the requirements of the above section have proved a source of annoyance, inconvenience and uncalled for delay at times to the authorities and officers of other States, by reason of some technical error

in the papers accompanying the requisition or by the absence of the Governor from the State, thereby making it necessary, in many cases, for the officer to wait sometimes for a week or more before the requisition is honored. Therefore in view of the fact that most of the persons so arrested are willing to return to the State from which they are fugitives without papers, be it

Resolved, that the organization of Chiefs of Police of the State of New York petition the Legislature to amend the laws, so that in cases where a person arrested in this State as a fugitive from justice from another State or territory can be legally turned over to the authorities of such State or territory without a requisition, provided, however, he signifies his willingness to go, and be it further

Resolved, that each individual Chief of the Association make every possible effort to induce the representatives to the Legislature in his locality to use his best endeavors in so amending the law.

ALCOHOLISM: Its Relation to Police Work and Jurisprudence

By Thomas W. Kilmer, MD (Police Surgeon, Hempstead Police Department)

Published in the Convention Book of the New York State Association of Chiefs of Police eighty years ago, June 1933; excerpts of the paper are printed here.

Alcoholism has a definite place in the annals of medicine, crime and law. Its effects are not only seen in disease and heredity, but they are present all the way from misdemeanors of the drunken driver, through assault and homicide. The effect of alcoholism also is seen in civil suits and criminal cases such as the forging of checks and efforts to break wills said to have been made while the testa-tor was under the influence of alcohol.

When alcohol in any form enters the body, it is absorbed by all the bodily tissues. The brain is especially affected. We can find out absolutely whether a person is drunk both during life and after death. How do we know when a person is drunk during life? By observing his actions. The inability to coordinate, the tremor of hands, staggering gait, thickness of speech, flushed face, impairment of judgment and odor of breath all go to establish in the minds of the laity the state known as acute alcoholism or

“drunkenness.” But the saying that “Anybody can tell when a person is drunk” is not true. There are so many grave conditions that simulate drunkenness that no one should be pronounced drunk unless they have been carefully examined by a physician. The courts are full of cases that turn out that the said suspects, thought to have been only “drunk,” had either fractured skulls, concussion of the brain, poisoning, hysteria, kidney disease, insanity, fainting spells, heart disease, sunstroke, nervous diseases or any of many other medical conditions. Be careful. Do not let your municipality be sued for a great sum of money just because the suspect was pronounced “drunk” by the arresting officer. A sure way of telling whether a person is drunk or not is to test the spinal fluid for alcohol. This, of course, can only be done by a physician when the case is in a hospital. If the spinal fluid contains 2.7% or over 3% of alcohol, the person is drunk. The tests through which we put a suspected case at Hempstead Police Headquarters are now too widely known to bear repetition here but in passing I will say that our examination consists of noting and entering on a filing card the conditions of eyes-pupils, pulse, heart and lungs; the presence or absence of tremor; his ability to read, to tell time; and to coordinate; comparison of the present signature with that on the registration and operator’s license; a description of his gait, speech, breath, mental attitude and present injuries. I do not consider the Bogen test (also known as the “Balloon test”) of sufficient value to use it as an adjunct in establishing the degree of drunkenness. This test shows the amount of alcohol vapor in the exhaled breath. This amount varies at different times, as well as does the amount of alcohol in the blood and urine, therefore I personally do not employ the test although many police surgeons continue its use.

In regard to responsibility for one’s acts when intoxicated, we find that alcoholism is an excuse for crime because the alcoholic knows that if he drinks enough he will get into a state of irresponsibility. Those easiest affected by alcohol become the most neurotic. All are not equally affected by drink. In persons of higher emotion and mentality, we find that the muscles become affected by alcohol before the brain, therefore their muscular acts are retarded before their mentality wanes; they know what



they want to do, but they cannot do it. What may one learn then by perusal of this paper and to what use can this knowledge be applied?1. Is the person drunk? This can definitely be settled by a thorough examination such as used by

the Hempstead Police Department. This examination must be performed by a physician. 2. Was the deceased drunk at the time of his death? This can be found out to a certainty by examin-

ing the brain as to alcoholic content. Anything over 3% is indicative of intoxication.3. Alcohol is a normal content of all brains, but only to the extent of 1/1000 of 1%.4. The number of drinks a person takes is no indication as to the extent of alcoholic intoxication.5. 40% of murdered persons are drunk when killed.6. An automobile driver may be drunk when the accident occurs, but the shock of the accident,

arrest, etc. may sober him or her up so that when examined by a physician he or she may not be drunk.

7. Was the murderer drunk when he killed the deceased? Read this paper carefully and see if the murderer had the actions of an alcoholic murderer. How did he shoot? Actions after arrest, etc.

8. Alcoholism is no excuse for crime.9. A drunk person fires a pistol at any part of the body; cannot hit a person over six feet away;overdoes

the shooting or stabbing.10. Male suicides shoot at their head; female suicides shoot at their heart. Therefore a woman found

shot through the head probably is not a suicide. A man shot through the chest is probably not a suicide.

11. An alcoholic seldom uses poison with intent to kill.12. We seldom see a female alcoholic murderess.13. (redacted)14. Average age of alcoholic murderers is younger than formerly.15. Was the man or woman drunk when he or she signed the paper (will, checks, etc.)? 16. Look well into the alcoholic heredity of a young boy or girl when arrested for committing a

crime. A great deal can be done medically for this class of case.It is my hope that the facts presented in this short paper may be useful to police officers, district

attorneys, and the law in general and will prove a help in the administration of Justice.



80 YEARS AGO at the 33rd Annual Convention of the

New York State Association of Chiefs of Police…On Tuesday, June 27, 1933 NYSACOP President Edgar Grinnell called the

convention to order in Amsterdam, New York. Mayor Robert B. Brumigim gave a welcoming address to the chiefs in attendance:

Gentlemen, never before in the history of our country has the work of the public official, whether he be Mayor or Chief of Police of this city or any city, been so difficult, and so much energy and work demanded of him

as it has within the last year or so, the last two years in fact, and will demand of him for the next few years to come. You, of course, will be working during the aftermath of this great recession of busi-ness, commonly called the depression. The municipal government of today is closer to the people and affects them personally in more ways…

President Grinnell welcomed the delegates: I believe that every member looks ahead each year with much delight and anticipation to the day of this get-together, where he may renew old, and make new acquaintances, and strengthen the friendship with fellow members, discuss trying problems, exchange ideas as to the promotion of more equalized police work. Where he may seek new ideas in the battle against the ever-mounting crime wave, and gather more knowledge in the safeguarding of the public, which is of the greatest importance in his line of duty. It is very pleasing to note that the officers and members of the state show so much interest and give so much of their valuable time to increase the good of the organization, for the big purposes we aim to bring into use through its endeavors. We are delighted with the attendance and cooperation and are always glad to have new members fall into line and receive the benefits of the organization.
