POA CRITICAL INCIDENT
CARD: J.
Nelson asked if the POA could provide new POA Critical Incident Cards to
the newer members to offer them direction and provide current relevant
telephone numbers to call in the time of need. Many of the Board of
Directors recalled these cards and a few even still had them. J. Nelson
will research the necessary information and verify the current telephone
numbers for LDF and our listed attorneys for members to call. He will
provide information on the costs and a sample format of the card at the
next meeting.
STREET COPS AWARDS:
J. Huss was asked recently by the Elks Chairman of this event if we wanted
to continue with our participation in the program. Many Directors agreed
it was a worthwhile program with good participation, but just slow
RSVP’ing by the membership. It was suggested that the POA could possible
subsidize the event with an invitation being extended to our Honorary
Members to attend as well. J. Huss will contact the Elks Chairman and
discuss it with him.

Insurance - It was also
made clear from the City that if anyone wanted to decline his or her
