Glenwood Leadership Academy in Evansville, Indiana will host the 2017 Don’s Claytons Coat-A-Kid campaign kickoff on Tuesday October 24th at 8:30 a.m. (CST). Students from the K-8 school will be at the event providing youthful enthusiasm and generating support for the program. In previous years, local kickoff sites have included Caze, Harwood, Lincoln, Culver, and many other schools. At each Coat-A-Kid kickoff, 95-110 students have received winter coats.

Since its implementation at the local level, the Coat-A-Kid initiative has distributed over 150,000 coats throughout the community. Steve Schmitt, owner of Don’s Claytons DCI Fine DryCleaning, is committed to annually providing a winter coat for every child who needs one. Each year, from October through December, community members are invited to bring gently used and new coats to any Don’s Claytons location. The coats are cleaned, if needed, and distributed to area infants, children, and teens via the Salvation Army, Evansville Christian Life Center, and in Boonville, at Hope Central.

Steve Schmitt notes nearly 5000 coats were donated to the 2016 Coat-A-Kid campaign.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (Monday, Oct. 23) — The push to have equines treated the same as other agricultural livestock, the potential to use the lure of horses to further expand the commonwealth’s considerable tourism industry, the effort to cultivate a trained workforce and how historical horse racing is growing the industry were among the topics examined at the Kentucky Equine Education Project’s second Equine Industry Conference last week.
“Our second Equine Industry Conference highlighted many of the most important issues Kentucky’s horse industry faces,” said Joe Clabes, KEEP’s Executive Director. “Bringing industry leaders and policymakers together to discuss how we capitalize on recent gains and address ongoing challenges is critically important to the betterment of the Commonwealth’s signature industry.
“Kentucky is seeing growth in its horse industry, across many breeds and disciplines, at a time when the vast majority of other states are moving in the opposite direction. These discussions will help us continue to build on that success.”

Indiana State Police and U.S. Attorney’s Office for Indiana host Interdiction for the Protection of Children Seminar

0

Last week seventy-four officials from the law enforcement community from around the state attended a seminar on the Interdiction for the Protection of Children (IPC). The seminar was hosted by the Indiana State Police and U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern and Southern Districts of Indiana.  Twenty-two troopers from several districts were among the attendees.  Others included probation officers, school resource officers, court officers, prosecutors, and several law enforcement agencies.

The class was presented by the Texas Department of Public Safety on Monday and Tuesday and continued on Thursday and Friday with additional certifications for individuals that would become trainers.  Four troopers, four ISP detectives and four victim services partners from the Indiana Traffic Victim Assistance Program (ITVAP) obtained their trainer certifications.

The ITVAP works to identify and provide comprehensive services to youth victims of trafficking or sexual exploitation.  ITVAP has partnered with existing IPATH task forces, the Indiana State Police, youth services bureaus and Safe Place programs across the state.

The IPC was designed to help make patrol officers more aware of the resources available to them and help assist them establish the status of a child.  The IPC teaches a multidisciplinary approach used in combating sex crimes against children and locating and identify missing, endangered and exploited children.   It provides an understanding of what courses of action are immediately available to officers.  The class also teaches the indicators of an endangered child and the type of questions that need to be asked for a victim centered approach.  It provides a basic understanding of behavioral patterns of both suspects and victims and helps the investigator articulate their findings.

This course was offered free of charge thanks to a generous grant from the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services and the U.S. Department of Justice.
