Cops Connecting with Kids Expands to Kentucky


0

Cops Connecting with Kids, an organization only in its 5th Year is expanding! The group, founded by a group of Evansville Police Officers and Vanderburgh County Sheriffs Deputies with the intent to establish better relationships with children and students in its community through their school systems, have begun efforts to expand the organization to other communities in the region, and in July of 2018, will see that expansion begin. With the Henderson Police Department adopting and supporting the program, Cops Connecting with Kids will now be present in two states, two communities, two counties, and will now influence
multiple schools, and even more children.

To launch Cops Connecting with Kids in Kentucky and Henderson County, a local organization of passionate Jeep owners will be bringing their Law Enforcement Support Rally to Henderson, Kentucky in late July. The Back the Blue Ride is in it’s 3rd Year, and as it has grown, it made good sense for the organization to find a host location that could accommodate it’s group. Audubon Chrysler Center, a local Jeep Dealer and huge supporter of not only it’s community, but Law Enforcement in the Area was the answer. With acres of land at it’s disposal, Audubon Chrysler is prepared to host the Back the Blue Ride Jeep Rally to benefit Cops Connecting with Kids on July 28th, 2018. The Evansville Area Jeepers will gather in Mt. Vernon Indiana at 2:30pm sharp, and with police escort will travel along Hwy 62 (Lloyd) to Riverside Drive, along Hwy 41 to Audubon Chrysler as one unit.

Once arriving at the Dealership, activities will include a Off-Road Jeep Course, Jeep Flex Photo Opportunities, BBQ Dinner, Music, Prizes, and much more. All proceeds from all activities will benefit the Cops Connecting with Kids program as it expands into Kentucky and to Henderson County Schools.

VCSO Regional Jail Officers Course Graduates 17 New Officers

0
The Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office graduated seventeen (17) new confinement officers from the Indiana Law Enforcement Basic Jail Officers Course this Friday. Officers from Vanderburgh, Wells, Warrick, Morgan, Perry, Dubois and Pike counties completed the Basic Jail Officer’s Course.

In 2006, the Indiana Law Enforcement Training Board approved the Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office as a regional training site for this forty (40) hour course, which is required of all newly hired jail officers during their first year. The new officers were instructed in subjects such as: ethics, tactical communication, report writing, jail operations, physical security, searches, evidence gathering, booking and admissions, blood borne pathogens, cultural awareness, suicide prevention, mental illness and legal issues.

The regional officers will return to their respective agencies next week in order to continue additional facility specific training. Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office confinement officers will spend the next two weeks attending additional classroom and practical training, which will include topics such as: housing unit supervision, gang identification, defensive and physical tactics, record keeping and practical scenarios. Upon completion of the classroom training, the new confinement officers will be assigned to a Field Training Officer (FTO) for an additional ten (10) weeks before being permitted to work alone.

At any given time the Sheriff’s Office houses over 675 inmates within the confines of a 146,500 square foot facility. As an Indiana Law Enforcement Academy accredited provider, the Sheriff’s Office accepts applications from outside agencies to attend the Basic Jail Officers Course at our facility.

AG Curtis Hill responds to demands that Indiana withdraw from lawsuit challenging Affordable Care Act

0

Attorney General Curtis Hill today responded to several groups that dropped off petitions at his office demanding that he withdraw Indiana from a lawsuit challenging the federal Affordable Care Act.

Attorney General Hill’s statement is as follows:

“Along with 19 other states, we have opposed the Affordable Care Act because it is unconstitutional. In NFIB v. Sebelius, the U.S. Supreme Court narrowly upheld the core provision of the ACA — the individual mandate — as a ‘tax.’ However, Congress later repealed this tax while leaving the mandate in place. As a result, the foundation on which the Supreme Court built its justification for Obamacare’s constitutionality ceased to exist. I hope to see the emergence of sound policies that constitutionally safeguard the healthcare needs of all Americans, including those with pre-existing conditions. I support efforts to this end by Governor Holcomb and the General Assembly here in Indiana, and I support such efforts by Congress and the Trump administration on the national level.”
