ICYMI: Mayor Neese has appointed former United States Attorney and U.S. Assistant Attorney General Deborah J. Daniels, Esq., to lead the assessment of the Elkhart Police Department. This review intends to reinforce public trust in the Police Department. Ms. Daniels will work in tandem with the Police Executive Research Forum to assess the current state of the Department and share best practices to create a roadmap for the future. "This is an opportunity to learn from other communities, and then help others to learn from us," Neese said, and we couldn't agree more. Chief Snyder commented, "This is a significant step forward for our Department, our City, and our community," We will continue to bring you updates as we commit to being honest and transparent with the community.

It is the highlight of our job to be able to encourage, support and inspire our youth. We love hearing stories from other officers when they get to do the same. In Freeport, Texas, a six-year-old girl battling cancer got to live her dream and became an honorary officer. You can read the whole story here: buff.ly/2RV82sO.

The 6-year-old girl got the chance to live her dreamHave you ever heard a police officer use a code on the radio? Did you know what it meant? There are so many different police codes that it almost becomes its own language. That's why we decided to start a series where we break down police terminology every week!
The police codes we use today were first developed in 1937 as a way to reduce the use of speech on busy radio channels. These APCO 10 Signals are still in use today. One such 10-code you may be familiar with is 10-20 which indicates location. So when someone asks, "what's your 10-20?" they mean, "where are you?" Or an officer might say "my 10-20 is Jackson and Prairie," indicating their location. #PoliceTalkTuesday
