Academy provides up-close look at police work
continued from page IA
"The CPA is another phase
of our community outreach
program which is designed to
enhance the partnership
between the police and the cit-
izens," Police Chief Dennis
Veach said. "The course will
give our citizens the opportuni-
ty to understand the nature of
how the department works."
Norris said he has sifted
through a lot of information to
format a very thorough and
well-rounded course.
The curriculum will include:
•Introduction of department
philosophy and programs
•Police hiring process,
departmental requirements and
field training and testing pro-
cedures
•Crime scene investigations
•Texas criminal laws, Texas
Penal Code
•Traffic enforcement, which
includes traffic stops, traffic
laws, accident investigation,
DWI with a radar/laser/traffic
enforcement demonstration
•Policing in schools - school
resource officer program
•Identity theft
•Internet safety (Facebook
and MySpace)
•Firing range with practical
exercises
•Field trip and tour of Collin
County Detention Center
•Federal Bureau of
Investigation firearms and
training simulator
•Defensive tactics, the use of
force policy and procedures
and less lethal alternatives with
demonstrations
•Patrol car ride-along, in
which participants ride with a
police officer for a shift to see
first hand what officers see and
hear and what they are trained
to do under a wide variety of
circumstances
Scheduled speakers or
instructors are Veach, Norris,
Sgt. Chris Burns, Officer Chris
Holland, Sgt. James Wills, Det.
Steve Doerr, Sgt. Garry Jordan,
James Cron, Councilwoman
Pat McMillan, Officer Richard
Oliver and Sgt. Jessy Frazier.
Putman said she decided to
take the class because she has
been interested in police work
for many years.
"My brother's good friend
became a police officer, and
that's when my interest grew,"
she said. "He was always
telling us stories about the
department he worked in. I
wanted to take the academy in
the past, but the timing was
never right."
Putman said she has learned
quite a bit in the first five
classes and praised the courses
and instructors.
'The classes are packed with
so much information, yet they
fly by," she said. "I wish there
was more time for officers to
tell more stories and what
they've had to deal with."
Putman said there is so
much to police work that she
didn't know before.
"Even though I attended the
police neighborhood meeting I
now have a deeper understand-
ing of Areas of
Responsibilities such as what
the officers are responsible for
on their daily shifts," she said.
"I learned what the School
Resource Officers do, and that
high school has changed from
my days where the people we
feared most were the hall mon-
itors. We even had smoking
lounges outside where we
could cut through to get to
class faster, if we wanted to
inhale the second-hand
smoke."
Putman also gave high
marks to the Use of Force class
when she learned that every
Sachse police officer has to
take a hit from the laser gun.
To give them an appreciation
for when it should or should
not be applied on the job.

Sgt. Chris Burns reviews topics with members of the new
Citizens Police Academy. Opening night topics included police
hiring process, departmental requirements and Field training
James Cron. was very interest-
ing," she said. "Their class was
complete with real-life pictures
and stories of cases they've
worked on and we even got to
lift fingerprints."
Putman said since the speak-
ers each week are chosen by
specialty and personnel within
the department, they get a
deeper understanding of what
they do.
"I really believe this small
department is run well and the
staff has respect for what Chief
Veach has brought to the
department. I hope to get a tour
of the new police building
when it is finished."
Veach said although gradu-
ates of the academy will not be
certified for any type of police
work, the overall knowledge
gained of the operation of the
police department will be
invaluable.
"I am looking forward to the
continued growth of our com-
munity," Veach said. "The CPA
course will help to strengthen
the relationship between the
citizens and the PD."
Help for caregivers
is available

The death - and the circum-
stances of that death - of Gerren
Isgrigg have rocked the commu-
nity and left many people won-
dering what could have been
done for that special-needs
child.
According to members of his
family. Gerren was blind, deaf
and mentally disabled; police
confirmed severe medical diffi-
culties. Although Gerren's situa-
tion was extreme and anyone
who has heard of his plight no
doubt hopes a situation like his
would never repeat itself, there
may be parents or other care-
givers who are frustrated with
their own circumstances and
wishing they knew where to
turn.
It's too late to help Gerren,
but Lynn McLean, CEO of
Children's Advocacy Center
of Collin County, said there are
places to turn to help other spe-
cial-needs children and their
caregivers.
The CACC itself, located at
2205 Los Rios in Piano, has a
staff of professionals who are
experts in child trauma. McLean
said the mission of the center is
to "provide safety, healing and
justice for children victimized
by abuse or neglect."
She said the center is recog-
nized as a statewide and nation-
al model for intervention in
cases of child abuse or neglect;
the center is also recognized as
being extremely valuable in han-
dling cases involving serious
child trauma, such as witnesses
to assault or homicide. Their
phone number is 972-633-6601;
the website is
www.cacplano.org .
Another organization. Family
Outreach, Richardson, Piano.
Collin County, familyoutreaeh-
northtexas.org, is a network of
volunteers working to prevent
child abuse and neglect by pro-
viding one-on-one support to
families. For more information
about this organization, call 972-
231 -6534 or e-mail debbiedecic-
co @hotmail.com. The board of
directors meets monthly at the
Children's Advocacy Center of
Collin County.
McLean said another valuable
resource is a group called
LifePath Systems. This organi-
zation specializes in treatment,
support and planning assistance
for North Texas residents with
special needs, including mental
illness, mental retardation and
developmental delays, begin-
ning as young as age 0 to 3.
LifePath is a not-for-profit
mental health service provider
with a staff of psychiatrists, ther-
apists, nurses and caseworkers
who, their website says, are
trained to assist in dealing with
"nearly all forms of mental ill-
ness." The organization accepts
a variety of methods of pay-
ment. including NorthSTAR,
Medicaid, Medicare, private
insurance and self-pay. "Our
goal is to help the clients and
their loved ones understand their
illness, find ways to reduce its
impact and to create the supports
necessary to live a full, happy
lite. We strive to accomplish
these goals in a respectful, car-
ing environment that focuses on
the needs, strengths and desires
of each individual."
LilePath has two locations in
Collin County: Piano Outpatient
Clinic/The Alma Center, 3920
Alma Dr.. Piano, 75023, 972-
422-5939, and McKinney
Outpatient Clinic, 201 West
Louisiana St., Suite 100,
McKinney, 75069, 972-562-
0190.
In case of a mental health cri-
sis, call 1-866-260-8000, the
NorthSTAR Mobile Crisis 1 Jne,
LifePath's website says.
The Arc of Dallas provides
information, referrals, resources,
seminars and more for care-
givers of special-needs children
and adults, particularly those
with intellectual and related
developmental disabilities. Visit
the website, arcdallas.org, and
click on Family / Caregivers for
contact information regarding
financial planning, agency refer-
rals and advocacy. This website
says that the Arc of Dallas can,
under certain circumstances,
become the guardian for a spe-
cial-needs person. For more
information, contact LaFreda
Smith, lsmith@arcdallas.org or
call 214-634-9810, ext 109.
Even those who do not have
responsibility for taking care of
a child, special needs or other-
wise, but who may suspect
abuse or neglect, can help.
McLean said if anyone thinks a
child may be in harm's way,
whether they know for sure or
not. he or she should call the
child abuse report number, 1-
800-252-5400. "If you suspect,
you report." she said. "Leave it
to the experts to make a determi-
nation."
