Good training offered and classes well attended. Some classes in particular were very good: Homeland Defense, Vehicle Theft Recovery (Florida Program), Citizen Survey, EAP from New Jersey and of course, Dr. Lee's speech, which was extremely good and enjoyed by many.

Carol Ogrinc from new Canaan went to a meeting involving Citizen Surveys and provided notes which are attached and will be posted on website. GO TO CITIZEN SURVEY NOTES

Currently no plans for a Fifth Edition to the manual at this time.

During one of the meetings, there were numerous questions raised on the quality of assessors. CALEA's response was to contact the program manager with any concerns pertaining to assessors.

Standards Discussion

Two new standards passed out - 41.2.7 - Missing Children and 6.9.6 - Incident Command System. Discussion took place regarding both standards. 41.2.7 - Why new standard? Can we revise current standard and add new language. Definition of a "thrown-away child"? Regarding 6.9.6 - Communications Accreditation Standard. PAC members are encouraged to send in comments for the next meeting regarding both standards, which will be submitted to CALEA by May 30th.

Sincerely,
Sophie King
