Campaign Discontinued According to AAA, a review of the program, priorities, and expenses was conducted to determine if this campaign would continue. Following that review, they determined the program would be discontinued in both Minnesota and North Dakota. DQ has advised AAA that if a law enforcement agency is interested in creating a similar, localized program, they should contact their local DQ restaurants to see if they might be interested. There may be other businesses in the communities served that may also have an interest in working with an agency on a similar project. Minnesota Association of Women Police Nominations 2024

Training Notice for Rick Hodsdon's Extreme Risk Protection Orders The Minnesota Sheriffs' Association is hosting Rick Hodsdon's Live Online Training "Extrem Risk Protection Orders." Two dates available: February 26, 2024, 12:30 pm to 4:30 pm or February 28, 2024, 8:30 am to 12:30 pm. On January 1, 2024, Minnesota joined the growing number of states that enacted a system for Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPO), commonly known as Red Flag laws, in an effort to reduce the use of guns for suicide and harm to others by people deemed dangerous to self or others, usually due to major mental health matters. Rick is going to walk you through the new statutes, what they do and do not do, how they are supposed to work, and what experience is showing so far how they really are being used. Since ERPO petitions can be brought by city police, city attorneys, county sheriffs, and county attorneys as well as family members, this class is useful and relevant to all members of those agencies as well as mental health providers and county mental health workers who also may have a role in this new challenging law. Cost: $90

Each week during the legislative session, Cozen O'Connor, we will assemble weekly updates for MCPA to share with our membership. These will arrive every Friday and will be included in the following week's C-Notes.
