Accreditation Assessment Team Invites Public
Comment
A team of assessors from the Commission
on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies,
Inc. (CALEA) will arrive on August 28, 2010
to examine all aspects of the Hermosa Beach
Police Department's policies and procedures,
management, operations and support services,
Chief Greg Savelli announced today.
Verification by the team that Hermosa Beach
Police Department meets the Commission's
state of the art standards is part of a
voluntary process to gain accreditation
- a highly prized recognition of law enforcement
excellence, he said.
As a part of the on-site assessment, agency
employees and members of the community are
invited to offer comments at a Public Information
Session on Monday, August 30, 2010 at 7:00
pm. The session will be conducted in the
City of Hermosa Beach Council Chambers,
located at 1315 Valley Drive, Hermosa Beach,
CA.
If for some reason an individual cannot
speak at the public information session
but would still like to provide comments
to the assessment team, he/she may do so
by telephone. The public may call (310)
318-0336 on Monday August 30, 2010 between
the hours of 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. Comments
will be taken by the Assessment Team.
Telephone comments, as well as appearances
at the Public Information Session, are limited
to 10 minutes and must address the agency's
ability to comply with CALEA's standards.
A copy of the CALEA Standards Manual is
available at the Hermosa Beach Police Department.
Please contact Georgia Lonnquist at 310-318-0331.
Anyone wishing to submit written comments
about the Hermosa Beach Police Department's
ability to comply with the Standards for
Accreditation may send them to: Commission
on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies,
Inc. (CALEA), 13575 Heathcote Boulevard,
Ste. 320, Gainesville, Virginia, 20155.
The Accreditation Program Manager for the
Hermosa Beach Police Department is Georgia
Lonnquist. She said the assessment team
is composed of law enforcement practitioners
from similar but out of state agencies.
The assessors will review written materials,
interview individuals, and visit offices
and other places where compliance can be
witnessed. The Assessment Team will be comprised
of two experienced CALEA assessors, namely,
Commander Robert Stack, Lexington Division
of Police, Lexington, KY, and Karen Ashley,
Deputy Police Chief (retired)/MCAO Accreditation
Manager, Surprise, AZ.
Once the Commission's assessors complete
their review of the agency, they report
back to the full Commission, which will
then decide if the agency is to be granted
accredited status, Chief Savelli stated.
Accreditation is for three years, during
which the agency must submit annual reports
attesting continued compliance with those
standards under which it was initially accredited.
For more information regarding the Commission
on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies,
Inc. (CALEA), please write the Commission
at 13575 Heathcote Boulevard, Ste. 320,
Gainesville, VA 20155, or call (800) 368-3757
or (703) 352-4225.

On Wednesday, August 11th at approximately 1:40a.m.,
Officer Derek San Agustin made a traffic stop in the 1500
block of Sepulveda Blvd. Upon contacting the driver, Officer
San Agustin learned he was on parole for burglary. A
subsequent search of the vehicle revealed a laptop computer,
credit card, cell phones and other ID that belonged to
others, including MB residents. In addition, objects that are
commonly referred to as "burglary tools" were found inside
the vehicle. Further investigation led to the identity of MB
crime victims and their property was returned. One victim
was not aware that his vehicle had just been burglarized.
Another victim just two blocks away, had not reported a loss.
The suspect (a 50 year old male who resides in Hollywood)
was taken into custody and booked on charges, including:
burglary, possession of stolen property, possession of
burglary tools, and was placed on a parole hold. Investigators
believe that the suspect was also responsible for a vehicle
burglary on August 10th.
Great job by Officer San Agustin!!

FIRE CHIEF LANTZER'S CORNER
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has released
a pair of reports that show some improvement for the American
fire service. First, the NFPA has determined that 82 firefighters
lost their lives in 2009 as compared to averaging over 100 in
the past ten years (not including the 343 firefighters who perished
on September 11, 2001). While that is an improvement,
it is still too many; especially for families of deceased firefighters.
The main killer is still overexertion/physical stress and medical
conditions which lead to "sudden cardiac events." This
is why firefighter fitness has been such a significant issue
and remains a concern for fire chiefs across the country.
Another report found that civilian residential fire deaths have
been cut almost in half since 1980. Residences are still
the location of the vast majority of civilian fire deaths (84%
in 2007). As much progress as we've made, most other modern,
first-world nations have much lower death and fire loss rates.
California is on pace to adopt the new International Residential
Code, which requires the installation and protection of fire
sprinkler systems in new homes. Studies have found the
residential fire death rates in sprinklered structures further
reduce life loss by 77%. The new code is expected to go
into effect on January 1, 2011.
Both reports identify positive trends. These trends can
be reversed, however, if we do not remain vigilant and focus
more of our efforts on fire prevention. Lean budgets are
forcing cities to cut fire department staffing and Hermosa Beach
is no exception. With increasingly limited capabilities,
fire chiefs will have to or are having to decide how many resources
to commit to fire prevention at the expense of other functions,
such as emergency response.

Invented in the mid-1990s by a blind
mathematician named James Miekka, the Hindenburg Omen is
an indicator of a market crash. Every market crash since
1987 has been signaled by the Omen, which was named by a
friend of Miekka's after the airship that exploded over
New Jersey in 1937 without warning.
MEXICO CITY
- Introducing another lethal element to Mexico's drug wars,
a leading cartel detonated a car bomb late Thursday in downtown

There is
a new scam to watch out for on Facebook.
Computer security experts
are warning that scammers are duping Facebook users into adding
a bogus "dislike" button to their accounts.
What the application really
does is pump out spam and spread itself to your friends' Facebook
accounts.
Facebook says it is working
on blocking the application completely.
In the meantime, if you get
an invitation to add the "dislike" button, you should delete
it.

I hope you are all enjoying
your
Summer??? Sun would be nice.
Our evening classes went quite well,
and we're gearing up now for our next class
in October, National Preparedness Month.
Our next class will be on, October 9, 16, and
23, 2010. These are from 8AM to 4:30PM
each Saturday. One must attend all three
days to complete the course.
NOTE:
We
have room for 32 persons in the class.
The first 32 that email me and send in their
checks to the address at the bottom of the flyer
are in. We've never come up short yet.
The cost of the Class has gone up as we have
replaced one cheap gas wrench with another more
expensive multi tool in the back pack.
It is now $60.00 and you get back
and out of this much more.
For those of you that are interested
in your Red Cross 3 year First Aid Card, we
will set up an evening after you graduate to
finish the certification.. A small fee for the
book and card may be paid later. Also
in November we will have a Red Cross CPR Training
session too.
Please feel free to call me on my cell if
you have any questions.

The 2010 Great California ShakeOut on October 21 is now less
than three months away, and already more than
4.5 million Californians
are registered to participate.
In 2009 this milestone was not reached until mid-September!
If
you have renewed your registration already, thank you!
If
you or your organization has not yet renewed your registration
for 2010, please
login today to easily update your information and
confirm your participation in this year's drill. Now is
the time to be planning how you will participate.
Help us contact you...
Have you been registered for awhile but this is this the first
ShakeOut Update you have received? (Today's
email is sent from a different address.
Past emails are on our
ShakeOut Updates
page.) If you haven't been receiving these, the reason
is likely your "spam" email filter. The solution varies
with each email provider. You may need to add
info@shakeout.org to your email address list or to your
spam filter "whitelist" (especially schools or larger organizations-
ask your IT staff for the procedure).
Prepare, Protect, and Recover!
The ShakeOut is an opportunity for us to prepare together, before
a major earthquake happens again in California. To help we are
sending you preparedness tips each month, following the
Seven Steps to Earthquake Safety:
Step 6: Check it Out! One of the first things you
should do following a major disaster (if you are not injured)
is to check for injuries and damages that need immediate attention.
Make sure you are trained in first aid and know how to identify
hazards such as damaged gas, water, and electrical lines. The
webpage for this step has basic instructions for assessing
injuries and damages
and how to handle each appropriately.
NOTE:
Firefighters, preparedness officials, and other experts agree
that "Drop, Cover, and Hold On" is the best way to protect yourself
during earthquakes.
Other methods can be very dangerous. Read our
special report
to learn why.
Who will ShakeOut
with you?
A great way to help your friends, relatives, community, employer,
and others get prepared is to encourage them to
register to participate in the ShakeOut! Let
them know you are participating and ask them to join you.
You can
also display posters, distribute flyers, and use other materials
available on the
ShakeOut Resources page.
We're all in
this together...
The ShakeOut has grown because of people like you, who see the
value of practicing how to protect ourselves and for getting
prepared. We have formed the
Earthquake Country Alliance
to foster an earthquake and tsunami resilient California. Our
signature activity is the ShakeOut. If you have similar commitments
please
join the Alliance.
Thank you for your participation and commitment to earthquake
safety!
