As you may have read in past issues of Women Police magazine, former 2nd Vice President and Region 10 member, Lynette Hogue, has been working on putting together a DVD project on the history of women in law enforcement in the IAWP. The DVD will be narrated by Actress Sharon Gless (many of you will remember Sharon, who played Detective Christine Cagney in the hit show, Cagney and Lacey), who will be volunteering her time to be a part of this project. Lynette is still looking for people to send her information about "firsts" of women in their Departments, and would love to have members from Region 10 send her information. Interviews of either yourself, or of other members in law enforcement would also be most welcome. Questions to ask during interviews should include who you are, what Department you work for, and how long you have worked for them; what is the most positive experience you've experienced in your career; what is the most negative thing you've experienced in your career, if any; how did you become involved with the IAWP; and why do you continue to be involved with the IAWP. Interviews should be taped on mini DVD's, if possible. Send me an e-mail at RLM2214A@aol.com if you'd like to send Lynette either an interview tape or any other information for possible inclusion in the project, and, I'll give you the information on where to send it. Thanks! The more information received, the better!
There's still time to register for the Conference in Minneapolis, though it will be here in just a couple of weeks now. Go onto the IAWP website (listed above) and click on the Minnesota Conference for everything you need to know about this outstanding training. Hope to see many of you there! (And don't forget; it's a tax write-off, to boot!)
Until next time, stay safe!
