VII. New Business
A. Bradley requirements for training. Capt. Hawkins had members of the Attorneys Office
come in to train DSP members and that has been completed. Now Capt. Hawkins is in the process of having a DVD made by TNT productions of the training sessions outlining steps to follow when investigating these type cases. All departments will be sent a copy of this DVD so that when there is a new hire, a returning officer from deployment, light duty, and seasonal officers they can receive the training without contacting the AG’s officer for a one on one training session. The DVD will be out before the March 1st deadline training date for all officers. Each chief will have to notify COPT that all of their officers have received this training. Additional training will be 1 hour every three years.
B. All members approved having COPT agenda’s and meeting minutes be emailed instead of sending through the US mail. Also all members were informed that agendas and minutes may be viewed on the Delaware government Web site. Just go to , Public Meetings, and look up Council on Police Training.
C. The Governor will be conducting a State of the State address on Thursday, January 21, 2011 and he will be announcing that once again the State Budget needs to be cut back. Secretary Schiliro requested that everyone brainstorm on how to hold more training sessions from outside agencies here in the state so we can cut back on traveling expenses yet still offer officers up to date training. He would like to reserve some time at each COPT meeting on ideas and thoughts on where we can go to host more Federal training in the Delaware area.
Chairman Schiliro adjourned the meeting.
Next meeting Tuesday, April 19, 2011.
