Update From President Mark Solomon
Dear Members and friends,
I wanted to take a moment to share a few items with you.
On-Line Training
As we posted on our website and Facebook Page, the online class offering “Transformational Policing Model: Bridging the Racial Divide” has been postponed. We hope to offer this class to you again in early Fall of 2021. For those who did register, your registration fee has been refunded. We apologize for any inconvenience.
We do want to take this opportunity to let you know about a new offering that we have for you: Crime Prevention Thursdays! Every third Thursday of the month we will offer a training or webinar on various crime prevention topics. Follow this link to see what we have coming up for August and September https://www.wscpa.net/crime-prevention-thursdays.html. More will be posted soon.
In-Person Trainings
As we emerge from a the pandemic, we are once again able to schedule in-person trainings. We are happy to announce that we have a revamped 40-hour Basic Crime Prevention course, our 24-hour Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) course, and our 24-hour Crime Prevention Through Community Engagement (CPTCE) course. If your agency/organization is interested in sponsoring or sending folks to any of these trainings, please reach out to me directly and let’s get something scheduled.
WSCPA Leadership Opportunities
The Washington State Crime Prevention Association is an all-volunteer run group. The Association is looking to fill key positions of our leadership team and I’m asking you to consider guiding WSCPA into the future.
Regional Directors/At-Large Directors
We have openings on our Board for Regional Directors of the following areas
Treasurer
We have recently had a turnover with regard to our treasurer and need to fill this position as well. If you have some experience with being a treasurer (or can at least balance your own checkbook) and have some knowledge of QuickBooks, please consider stepping up to fill this vital Board Officer position.
Executive Director
Finally, our current Executive Director, Jim Johansen, has stepped down due to the demands of his personally owned company. We very much appreciate all Jim has done for the Association and wish him nothing but the best going forward. Thus, the Association is in need of an Executive Director. This is a volunteer position (for now) and requires someone with the time to manage administrative functions. The Executive Director will have the Board of Directors to back them up, so the workload won’t be onerous. If you or someone you know may be interested in taking on that responsibility, email me directly and I can provide you with a job description and expectations.
Thank you all for you time and attention. I hope to see you on our Crime Prevention Thursday Webinars. We hope to be able to serve you with in-person trainings soon, and I hope you consider a leadership role with the Washington State Crime Prevention Association.
