State Representative Mike Davis, agreat friend and champion of thePBA, will not be seeking reelec-

tion when his current term expires atthe end of 2008. Hecited long-termhealth issues as themain factor in hisdecision. His districtincludes easternCollier County andparts of BrowardCounty. He was firstelected in 2002 andis serving his third term.

Davis has always been a friend of lawenforcement ; he has sponsored andadamantly supported PBA legislation.He was respected on both sides of theaisle in Tallahassee.

Representative Davis will truly bemissed in Tallahassee but he willalways have the respect and admira-tion of the PBA. He is more than anoutstanding legislator; he is a friend, agentleman and definitely one of thegood guys.

Insurance Riders ForTake-Home Vehicles:What You Need ToKnowThere have been several questions

regarding the appeal courtruling on liability for take-home

vehicles. Keep in mind that the pointof the insurance rider is to cover youwhen you are intransit between workand home and aretechnically off-duty.

The case that broughtthis to light is Garciavs. City of Holly-wood. The Garciassued the City for anaccident that in-volved one of theirofficers in a take-home car on his wayto work. The court said that the Cityhas no liability because the officer wasnot on-duty at the time of the inci-dent. Now the officer can be sued. Youneed to be aware of this so you canprotect yourself.

The rider you need to get is for liabil-ity and medical coverage while operat-ing a vehicle that you do not own.

Some insurance companies may call it aUse of Non-Owned Cars rider (StateFarm, for example, uses this name).

If you do not have personal autoinsurance, you willnot be able to obtainthis type of endorse-ment or rider. It is anaddition to yourregular car insurance.

The cost of the riderwill vary according tothe type of vehicleand other factors, butwe’ve seen rates as

low as $10 a year for liability and $4.00per year for medical.

If your insurance company doesn’t offerthis kind of rider, or you do not havecar insurance, we are attempting to findout what your options are. We’ll keepyou updated.

At the July 19 Board of Directors meeting, we gave awards to our top fivescholarship winners. It was a pleasure to meet those young men andwomen and see firsthand how much they appreciated receiving the

scholarships.

The first-place winner, Michelle DeJesus, was asked to read her essay (which wasprinted in last month’s Centurion) for the board. She received a standing ovationfrom the Board for her efforts. Her parents had tears of pride in their eyes fortheir daughter. Times like these are when it is a pure pleasure to be a part of anorganization like the Broward County PBA.

I want to thank Matt Oppendisano of the Legend Group, who donates the first-place scholarship each year. He suggested this years ago and continues to supportour scholarship awards with pleasure.

Secondly, members should pay close attention to the upcoming tax reductionvote due for January. The PBA will be outlining the pros and cons of the taxreduction and its impact on our membership.

Law Enforcement NewsItems of Interest From Around The U.S.

Tucson, Ariz. — An Arizona StatePolice Officer spotted Oscar Meyer’sfamed Weinermobile traveling onInterstate 10. The officer ran thevehicle’s plate, which came back asstolen.

Lights, sirens, backup, and the way-ward dog was nabbed. Except that ithadn’t been stolen at all.

The Columbia, Wis. Police Depart-ment has registered a warning on the“YUMMY” plate belonging to theWeinermobile, intending to informlaw enforcement that the plate shouldonly be on the traveling hot dog andshould be considered stolen if on anyother vehicle. The computer entry isbeing changed, and the Weinermobileis back on the road.Source: The Associated Press

Tampa — The Tampa Police Depart-ment wants to focus on the smalldetails to get an overall picture oftheir officers’ well-being.

Tampa’s Internal Affairs Bureau alsoruns the department’s Early Interven-tion Program, used to identify officerswith personal problems or aggressionissues.

Each week, the IA computer cullsinformation about officers’ behaviorusing seven criteria and flags thoseofficers who should meet with asupervisor. The most serious criterionis the use of force—but not all officersflagged for this are problematic.

Last year two officers who had the mostinterventions due to use of force werefound not to have problems. Their usesof force were found to be appropriate,and the reason they had so many wasthat each of the officers made threetimes the arrests of the typical officer.

This is an issue with officers within thedepartment, and tends to be a flaw withsimilar programs nationwide.Source: The Tampa Tribune

Anne Arundle County, Md. —A new policy within the Anne ArundelCounty Police Department has officersbeing required to cover tattoos while onduty.

The policy means that an officer whohas tattoos on his arms or neck wouldbe required to wear long sleeves andturtleneck regardless of how high thetemperatures outside go.

The edict extends to all sworn officers,civilian volunteers, animal controlofficers and bike patrols, among otherstaff.

The department’s union plans to file agrievance as the County Charter re-quires that changes in codes pertainingto wages, hours and working conditionsbe run through the union prior toimplementation. This was not done inthis case. The union was told of thepolicy change only hours before it wentinto effect.

The union sites safety concerns withthe new policy. Having to wear longsleeves while directing traffic or onfoot patrol in 98-degree weather couldbe dangerous, especially when com-bined with a bulletproof vest.Source: The Annapolis Capital

Atlanta —Atlanta residents frus-trated with a chronically understaffedcity police department are puttingtogether their own private policeforces neighborhood by neighborhood.

Dozens of neighborhoods augment theservices from the Atlanta PoliceDepartment with their own privatepatrols. Even businesses are gettinginto the act, paying extra taxes tocreate a private agency that theycontrol.

Homeowners associations are sellingmemberships to their private policedepartments and use off-duty Atlantacops to take a bite out of crimes likeburglary, car break-ins and thefts fromtool sheds.

The neighborhoods form a corporationto manage the security patrol, set itsboundaries and its services and thensell memberships. Members get todisplay signs so patrol officers canmonitor their homes. But the officersdon’t skip over criminal activity if itinvolves a nonmember.Source: The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

No 10-94 For You?

We received the following e-mail from one of ourmembers, a BSO deputy:

Today on the way into work I had tomake a traffic stop on a car that wasdriving recklessly east on I-595. Healmost caused three accidents, and Iwas one of the cars that was affectedby his driving. I stopped the car andhad the guy placed in cuffs. I was

asking dispatch for a 10-94 and putthe driver in a safe but visible area sothat any marked unit that could seeme would stop and assist me.

Two marked BSO units passed rightnext to my car. I was on the inneremergency lane and they drove in thelane next to me. Neither bothered toeven stop and ask if I was 10-4. Adetective from Ft. Lauderdale stoppedand stayed with me until a Davie unitcame as a 10-94. I was embarrassed totell the Ft. Lauderdale Detective thattwo marked units from my agencypassed by without even asking if I wasall right. It is too bad I did not get hisname; all I know is that he wasdriving a dark Jeep Cherokee. If Icould I would let Ft. Lauderdale knowwhat a good officer they have workingfor them.

For all anyone knew I could have had

the most wanted person in the UnitedStates or even someone that was justdetermined to kill a cop. If that wouldhave been the case, those two deputieswould have been the same ones thatwould have asked themselves, Why isanother deputy dead?. Those are thesame two deputies I would not want atmy funeral.

While talking with another deputyabout this incident, he told methat about three weeks ago onthe way home, after bravo, hesaw two cars that had driven offthe road on Krome Avenue inDade County, not too far fromthe county line. If you arefamiliar with this area you knowthere is nothing within 10 milesof there. It happened that oneof the drivers wasdead. He had hislights on and he sawa deputy in a

marked unit pass right byhim and continue south,toward his house presum-ably.

These actions by deputiesand other officers arepart of the reason thatwe get hurt out on theroad. It has to beaddressed and put outin the Signal 14 andPBA newsletter. Iknow you care aboutthis type of problemand that is why I amaddressing it to you.If you are not able todo something let meknow. I will makesure it gets ad-dressed one way oranother.

Deputy gets no assistance on traffic stopHave you had a similar experience? Doyou stop to help a fellow officer, evenif you’re not on duty? If not, why not?How should this situation be handled?

We want to hear from you. Please e-mail us at [email protected].

Many of us honestly intend toexercise but have endless excusesto avoid it. You don’t have to

dedicate your life to fitness to see identifi-able changes. If you haven’t read it some-where by now, we’ll fill you in. As few as 30minutes a day, most days of the week, isrecommended by the Surgeon General tolower your risk of premature death and thedevelopment of chronic illnesses such asheart disease, hypertension and diabetes.Sounds easy enough, right? Then why aren’tyou doing it?

Spread It OutLack of time is one of the biggest obstaclesto regular exercise. The solution? Break up the time. Do a 15-minutepower walk at lunch, then do it again after work. Briskly take the stairsand leave the elevator on the ground floor. Play yard games with thekids, go for a swim, take the dog for a walk and circle the block again!Keep in mind however, to prevent obesity, most peoplewould have to exercise 45 to 60 minutes per day. Andintensity is the key to unlocking the exercise vs time mythsince most people concentrate on how much time theyspend exercising instead of the effort they expend doing it.

Remember the days of climbing trees, balancing whilewalking on the curb, running barefoot in the sand, playingball? You had a great time doing all of those things. Theykept you active, you were with your friends, and while youdidn’t realize it at the time, those activities kept you flex-ible, strong, and steady.

Choose Your ExerciseIf you have a sedentary routine where you sit at your desk or ride in acar all day, think about these tips when you outline your fitness plan.

•Yoga facilitates circulation. Holdingtension in your body can actually cut offcirculation, causing problems with bothsexual health and performance.•Pilates can improve your golf swing,increase core strength, get rid of chroniclow back pain, and help posture.•Break a sweat and shed unwantedpounds with cardio workouts like

Attention BSO MembersUpdate—July 2007

PBA 8,BSO 3PBA prevails indisiplinary appeals

In July, the PBA represented 11deputies appealing their disciplineswith BSO.

Of the 11 cases, the PBA had eightoverturned completely or reduced tolesser sanctions.

Only three cases where upheld.

The last rep meeting, held on July12, was attended by ColonelAuer. The Colonel assured The

PBA that the impact of the propertytax cuts on the BSO rank and file willbe as minimal as possible.

Additionally, the colonel told us thatthe vest committee is still meeting todetermine whether or not the wearingof vests should be mandatory.

We’ve also been told that all of theAR15 loaners, which had previouslyhad sight problems, have been checkedand the sights have been reset and arenow consistent, so any of the guns maybe used by any deputy.

BSO is still in negotiations to providelaw enforcement services with severalcities around the county.

Finally, Col. Auer expressed his prideat BSO’s response during the shootingincident in Ft. Lauderdale in June. Onehundred and seven deputies showedup within minutes of the call.

In response to members’ concernsabout having a say in who their PBArepresentatives are, we are changingthe election system for BSO.

In the new system, members will electeight At-Large PBA representativesagencywide, and there will be separateelections in each district for a DistrictRepresentative. The District Repre-sentatives will sit on the Board of

Directors along with the At-Largerepresentatives.

The District Reps will be able to handleany and all issues that come up in theindividual districts. They will be yourfirst contacts and will work closelywith PBA legal and the At-Large Repsto handle your questions and concerns.

We hope that this change to ourbylaws will help to address any con-cerns you all have.

As of press time, contract negotiationswere scheduled to begin on Tuesday,July 31.
