(LESSS) had achieved success with its fourth roll-call video, Is Today
Your Day?, and that he hoped LESSS will receive support for future
projects;

that S & P had discussed on October 22, 2011, various
aspects of traffic deaths of law enforcement officers, and that
the “Preventing Traffic Related Line-of-Duty Deaths and Injuries”
workshop had been held this morning; and,

his support of all four LESSS roll-call videos, indicating that they
probably had saved officers’ lives;

(NLEC) Subcommittee had met on October 21, 2011, and thanked Senior High-

- 2 -
way Safety Specialist Earl Hardy for his support of the NLEC.
• NLEC Subcommittee Chair L.R. “Bob” Jacob thanked the members of
the subcommittee for all of their hard work and recounted the subcommittee’s
efforts: the NLEC’s strategic plan had been approved by
the IACP in June 2011, and the levels of sponsorship had been accepted
by the IACP in July 2011. He then requested updates from the
three working groups.
• In terms of marketing, Chief Steven R. Casstevens advised:
o those agencies submitting applications; scoring 85 percent or
greater; and not winning first, second, or third place in their categories
will receive letters and certificates of appreciation;
o the new Clayton J. Hall Memorial Award trophy, with all winners
engraved on it, will be displayed at Annual Conferences;
o states that had increased their participation will be recognized;
and,
o relationships with Federal partners will be expanded.
• In terms of support and fundraising, Ricky H. Rich reiterated that the
IACP had approved the recommended sponsorship levels, indicated
that a budget currently is being prepared, and stated that the goal is to
increase sponsorships by 25 percent per year.
• In terms of operations, Captain Howard B. Hall indicated:
o the new NLEC will focus on its priorities, and an outside consultant
had been hired to ascertain why some agencies had chosen
to participate and why others had not;
o efforts will be made, with the support of the Governors Highway
Safety Association (GHSA), to increase the number of state
challenge programs and to select from among them only “the
best of the best” to be invited to Annual IACP Conferences;
o the NLEC will be publicized via articles highlighting winning programs;
o NLEC applications will be submitted only electronically beginning
in January 2013, and voluntarily may be submitted electronically
beginning in January 2012; this change will reduce
costs by eliminating physical judging in Alexandria, Virginia;
and,
o Chief Casstevens is relinquishing many of the tasks he has handled
in the past.

Technical Subcommittee (ETATS) had met on October 21, 2011, and
