Fuquay-Varina N.C. “The Other Side” Video Series Laura Fahnestock, Chief of Police, Town of Fuquay-Varina, N.C.,USA
Wouldn’t it be nice if we all just talked? That was the concept behind a video series that Amazing Studios, Inc. proposed to me in October of 2016. The video series, entitled “The Other Side” would pair children from elementary school through high school with a Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina police officer for an intimate conversation about life, greatest fears, and tough decisions. The series would prompt personal human-to-human conversations and seek to foster an overall understanding about people – law enforcement officers and children – within the Town of Fuquay-Varina. With the ongoing issues throughout our nation involving the division between the public and law enforcement, “The Other Side” series would allow both sides to share his or her perspective, unrehearsed and “real”, on important topics. It was a risk to participate in this type of program, which exposes levels of vulnerability of officers and his or her life. However, I knew that this was a positive endeavor that would demonstrate that officers and children have many viewpoints in common. Transparency was the goal to demonstrate that police are human behind the badge. It is critical for law enforcement agencies to reach out and communicate in ways that we have never thought of previously within our communities and this was a way to achieve that goal. In December 2016, eight members of the Fuquay-Varina Police Department were selected to participate in this project after an interview with members of Amazing Studios. Each officer was also assigned a child by Amazing Studios. The officer and child did not know each other. The officer drove to the child’s residence and met the child and his/her parents. The officer then drove the child to the studio for the one-on-one interview. The questions were new to each participant as selected by Amazing Studios. For approximately one hour, both the officer and child would read question cards and would respond to the questions, again unrehearsed.

Fuquay-Varina N.C. “The Other Side” Video Series (cont.) Laura Fahnestock, Chief of Police, Town of Fuquay-Varina, N.C.,USA
Each officer and child afterwards shared positive feedback from his or her experience. Parents observed the interviews and their results were positive as well. The series was produced by Amazing Studios, Inc. at no cost to the agency and received financial support from Officer’s Only, a foundation of the Bob Barker Company in Fuquay-Varina, N.C. Amazing Studios, Inc. approached me after observing Fuquay-Varina’s outreach initiatives to include Coffee with a Cop, “Froyo with the PoPo”, Unity in the Community Basketball Tournament and Community Event, and our FVPD Facebook page to name a few. By January 2017, the series was ready for public viewing; however, I given the opportunity to preview each of the videos. I was pleased with the results. The series was released January 17, 2017, with a video presented each week through the end of March 2017. The public feedback was phenomenal. We have received praise from the public, Town management, Town
elected officials, the media, the school system, and from law enforcement agencies across the state. We have
also won several communications awards for this series in 2017, to include the NC City and County
Communicators Excellence in Communication First Place Award for Interview/Talk Show as well as a national
City-County Communications and Marketing Association 2017 Silver Circle Award in the category of Interview/
Talk Show/News Programming (Population 54,000 or less).
I encourage you to watch these videos and consider participating in a similar project. The series assisted in humanizing our officers within our community and the videos continue to spark positive conversation. The officers learned about the youth and learned more about themselves. The community observed positive community-police partnerships and open communication.

The 2017 IALEP Training Conference hosted by the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office in San Diego, CA from September 11-15, 2017, was a great opportunity for members to come together to learn and network with fellow planners. The theme for this year’s conference, “Partnering for Progress,” focused on the many successful law enforcement partnerships across the US and Canada. There were over 70 law enforcement professionals from across the US and Canada in attendance. Over the course of the week, members were presented with many opportunities to share their projects and expertise with others, both in and out of conference sessions. There were 28 presentations on topics such as progress reporting of strategic/business plans, change management, ransomware tabletop exercises, workload assessments, and many others. One session was the announcement of a new collaboration between IALEP and the Justice Clearing House. More details on this exciting partner-ship will be coming soon!

O.M. Wilson Long Standing Contribution and Achievement Award A Tribute to Brian Cummings, Richmond PD (posthumously)
by Peter Bellmio I met Brian Cummings over 17 years ago at the first IALEP Basic Planner Course in Kansas City in May of 2017. He had his law degree but it was clear he was searching for work that inspired him. In 2002, we worked together to help Richmond build a Community Crime Control Plan. The City was dealing with a level of violence that generated 70 homicides in 2001 in a City of 220,000. We came to the conclusion that community had to stop the violence. Just clearing homicides does not prevent them. With support from the RPD command staff, we set out to build a Community Crime Control Plan to get the community involved in solutions. Police alone could not reduce homicides in Richmond. Brian lead an effort in which we designed and mailed a brochure to over 3,000 people in Richmond who had expressed by the past that they were committed to public safety in Richmond. The goal was to invite them, the “doers” to a Community Mobilization Session at the Richmond Convention Center> There we would explain how pan could be built to make Richmond safer. Over 500 people showed up for the event. The Mayor, City Manager and City Council realized we could fill a room! From that group of attendees came a task force of 120 people, both community and police, who met for 5 months to build an action plan to make Richmond safer. Their work lead to the implementation of Sector Policing in which teams of officers were responsible for areas of the City. This structure was the foundation for future police community collaboration. It lead to implementation of sector policing which helped build partnership between RPD officers and neighborhoods. It was not easy work. We dealt with race relations, income disparity and trust between the police and community. Brian was like a rock. He never wilted under the pressure of this process. He was optimistic, creative and people in the community just plain liked him. We built a foundation of community police collabo-ration that contributed to a long term reduction in violence in Richmond. I will always remember his smile and his willingness to try anything. It was a privilege to know him and work with him.

We are continuing to support one another through a strong policy exchange network and quarterly meet-ings. Watching the Maryland legislature.
Southwest Chapter
The Southwest Chapter had their most recent quarterly meeting at the Chandler Police Department where they all joined in on a #cityhallselfie in honor of National City Hall Selfie Day! The photo session was followed by great presentations on opioids, naloxone, and mandatory state re-porting in Arizona. The chapter also discussed interest in a one-day chap-ter training opportunity later this year. Chapter members, keep on the lookout for more information in the next few months!
The Southwest Chapter had a great presence at this year’s Annual Conference in San Diego, CA! Congratulations to Maria Cunningham (IALEP Secretary), Cathie Gura (SW Chapter Treasurer), and Tim Gomez (SW Chapter Vice President, not pictured) on receiving their Law Enforcement Planner Certifications. In addition, congratulations Will Davis on being re-elected as IALEP Treasure and Cassie Johnson (SW Chapter President) for being the recipient of this years Arthur J. Barnett Planner of the Year.
