New CEO for IADLEST Appointed

Letter from Richard P. Clark, President, IADLEST:

It is my honor and privilege as President to report on the recent significant changes to our organization.

On January 19, 2012, the IADLEST Executive Board made an historic decision to solidify our leadership by appointing Michael Becar as the organization's full-time Executive Director, and Patrick Judge as Deputy Director.

These appointments were made as part of the implementation of a new strategic plan.  the establishment of a CEO to oversee day to day operations will strengthen IADLEST's ability to manage critical projects, expand the organization's responsibilities to raise professional standards for peace offices  nationally, improve the quality of training, and carry out our vision for future growth and development.

Both Mike Becar and Pat Judge bring extensive background and experience with law enforcement, professional standards and IADLEST.  Mike Becar retired from the Idaho Peace Officer Standards and Training as Executive Director with over 39 years of law enforcement experience, and is a past president of IADLEST.  Mike also managed grants and contracts for IADLEST for the past three years.  Pat Judge started his law enforcement career as a Detroit police officer before accepting a position with the Michigan POST.  He worked in every professional position as a Michigan POST staff member, including several years as its Director.  For the past 15 years, Pat has served as the IADLEST Executive Director.  With proven professionals like Mike and Pat, we have a very bright future.

I am excited about where we are now and confident that in the years to come, under the leadership of Mike and Pat, IADLEST will continue to grow as an outstanding organization.

Announcing the NDI 2.0

The National Decertification Index (NDI) is a national registry of certificate or license revocation actions relating to officer misconduct.  The NDI has received a facelift and some technical improvements.  We're calling it the NDI 2.0, and it features:

• An improved, easier to use design.
• New, simpler searching based on last name, with sortable results.
• More information shown to make it easier for you to make a determination.
• For current IADLEST website users, the same username and password will now allow you to access the NDI as well other IADLEST systems such as NLEARN*

Access the NDI 2.0 at https://www.iadlest.org/Projects/NDI20.aspx, or from the Projects menu at the top of the website.

To improve security, the login accounts for the old NDI are no longer active. To activate your access to the NDI 2.0, please visit the NDI and click the Request Access button. If you already have an IADLEST website account, be sure to log in first. If you don't, it's not a problem, just fill out the form to identify yourself and set up your account. Your POST director will be notified automatically to review and approve your request.

If you do not receive a reply within several days, contact your POST director. If you still have problems, we will troubleshoot, contact me at william.muldoon@nebraska.gov and I will forward to your POST or our tech people.
