Keynote presentations at this conference, which <br />focused on the theme of Leading in Turbulent Times, included several national speakers <br />who delivered information on the timely topics of Police Worn Body Cameras, Officer <br />Involved Shooting Response, Media Relations, Dealing with Mass Protests, Community <br />Engagement, Social Media, and a special closing message from Patty Wetterling. <br /> <br />As part of MCPA ETI, Director Paetznick “graduated” from the inaugural Advanced <br />Chief Law Enforcement Officer (CLEO) and Command Academy that has been meeting <br />regularly since last September. 25 chiefs from across Minnesota representing a broad <br />range of departments were selected last summer to participate in this new leadership <br />cohort that included professional learning groups. Director Paetznick had been assigned <br />to working with other chiefs on human resources issues, with a focus on police officer <br />recruitment and retention in the 21st century. <br /> <br />During the week of April 10th Firefighter Jeremy Berger and Kip Lamotte attended the <br />State Fire Marshals Conference. During the conference a demonstration of the <br />effectiveness of fire suppression sprinklers was performed. <br /> <br />
