Welcome!
 By
now you have received or you should soon be getting your KPOA Magazine in the
mail and, as I promised in the magazine article, this KPOA website has had some
updating. I hope you will take a few minutes to review the updates. This is your
website and we look forward to hearing from you with your suggestions, additions
and photos. If you find a broken link please let me or
Jeff Piper know. We want to extend our appreciation to Ed Pavey and
the Officer Memorial Committee for giving us information and photos we used to
update that section.
The 2011-12 committee assignments appeared in the January KPOA Magazine on page
3. Please take a little time to review it and feel free to contact those members
with your ideas. If there is someone listed there that you don't know, there is
no better time than now to make their acquaintance! There is one update to the
co-chair of the Legislative Committee. Herman Jones will take over that position
replacing Kyle Smith.
As always, I look forward to hearing from you,
Keith Rather

2012 LEGISLATIVE SESSION UPDATES
by Ed Klumpp, Legislative Liaison
KDOT CRASH TWITTER COMMUNICATION / KANSAS ACCIDENT REPORTING
NEWSLETTER
The latest motor vehicle accident reporting
newsletter is now posted at
http://www.ksdot.org/burtransplan/prodinfo/lawinfo.asp.
It addresses the 2011 reporting deadline, coding situations, etc.
In an on-going effort to communicate better
with our partners around the state, we created an account on Twitter
for posting quick bits of information concerning KS crash reporting.
This is a "private" group intended for Kansas LEAs.
We will post helpful links, crash report
coding information, reporting deadlines, and so on at
KDOTCrashInfo. To "follow" us on Twitter,
send a request indicating who you are and what agency you are with.
Keep in mind, one person may not be
interested in such communication, but others in your department may
be very interested in this option. Please forward this email
to all appropriate individuals in your agency.
