ICCMH

• Concerns over the fact that some important things are being glossed over, such as local councils, communication, etc. It seems like some of the local councils feel left out and don’t understand how they fit into the state system. As a result, attendance is dwindling, only a small number of the regional chairs are calling in to the teleconferences. New chair may result in some changes. Ross Edmonds was not in attendance, but it is hoped that he will continue to take our concerns to the ICCMH. The ICCMH report to the Governor needs to be commented on by our members. More service at the local level is the ultimate goal. Clerk Gahn exhorted us to continue to educate our local elected officials.

1110 hrs. JJ Training Council/P.O.S.T. Update IACJJA Reps and IAC Reps

• Roch passed out a few copies of the POST Annual Report.

• Inspection form. Roch passed out the incident review form that will be used during the next inspection process. The detention administrators agree that filling the form out and submitting to Roch prior to the inspection date. More questions are being asked about specific things, especially in reference to restraints.
• Director Becar asked everyone to contact him and get on the P.O.S.T. mailing list. Contact him at mike.becar@post.state.id.us . The POST website is http://www.idaho-post.org.
• POST Update and JPO Rules for certification. Roch passed out copies of the Rules and discussed the voluntary and mandatory requirements. The fact that the most recent probation academy had to be cancelled raises some concerns because this will make it hard to get everyone through the training before the deadline.
• Sight and hearing standards. Director Becar addressed the group on the vision and hearing standards, and waivers. The information must be to the hearing board as early as possible so that they can rule on waivers. The hearing boards are held quarterly. Director Becar addressed the process for applying for and handling waivers. The most important part of the process is the support of the individual’s administrator in the form of a letter and personal attendance at the POST Hearing Board. Roch asked to reconvene the Expert Panel to revisit the vision and hearing standards. The administrators will send their people to a one day meeting to address the issue.
• Roch talked about the holdback’s effect on the academy. He stated that most of the money is not subject to the holdback because it is not directly from taxes, but from JAIBG interest, etc.
• The Challenge process was also discussed. It would be smart to do a survey of all the detention centers to ascertain how many part-time officers exist. Roch is coordinating classes to help those who want to challenge in January. Please submit all applications to him as soon as possible.
