Washington State Kiwanis Youth Law Enforcement Camp 2009 Annual Report

HISTORY The Law Enforcement Career Camp was originally established in 1970 through the efforts of Indiana Kiwanian Erine Alder, who was a state policeman by profession. The original camp was established for high school students who were interested in pursuing a career in law enforcement.
The first camp in our Washington State was held in 1977. Unfortunately, records for this camp seem to have vanished. However, since that time, we have been fortunate to keep a photographic history of most camps class photos, which are available to view on the WSP website at: wsp.wa.gov - Outreach – Kiwanis Youth Law Enforcement Camp – Photo Gallery and History.
The statistics of the original program are impressive, as well as rewarding. Out of the original 1977 class, 20 of the 81 camp graduates became police officers, and another 30 began studying criminal justice.
The North Thurston Kiwanis Club in Lacey, Washington, served as the original “host” club for the camps, and John Sheldon was the first camp coordinator. For about the first nine years, the camps were held on the campus of St. Martin’s College in Lacey. At that time, the Washington State Criminal Justice Training Commission was leasing buildings and facilities from St. Martin’s College, and training actual police officers with their “Basic Law Enforcement Academy” at that site. Around 1985, the camp developed a partnership with the Washington State Patrol and began holding the camp each summer at the WSP Training Academy in Shelton, Washington. The Kiwanis clubs of Mason County began to co-host the camps. In 1997, John Sheldon retired from his leadership with the camp and turned over the Kiwanis leadership of the camp coordinator to George Fisher, a retired FBI Agent and member of the Hoods Canal Kiwanis Club. In 2007, George Fisher retired from his full time leadership as the camp coordinator, and turned over the Kiwanis leadership of the camp to the Olympia Kiwanis Club. While remaining active on the camp board of directors, Mark Couey, a current Captain, Washington State Patrol became the president of the camp’s Board of Directors, and Jan Britt, a retired Captain of Liquor and Tobacco Enforcement with the Washington State Liquor Control Board began acting as the camp coordinator.

OBJECTIVES The Washington Kiwanis Youth Law Enforcement Camp is now a joint effort by Kiwanians and the Washington State Patrol, together with other local, state and federal law enforcement agencies. It provides selected high school juniors and seniors with a one-week experience that is oriented towards a program of the basic elements, responsibilities, and mechanics of the criminal justice system. Emphasis is placed on the role of the police officer in that system.
Student “cadets” are taught integrity, leadership, discipline, and teamwork. As law enforcement agencies are finding it more and more difficult to recruit employees, this also provides a public service to the community by encouraging youth to look toward the future and a career in the public safety arena.
INSTRUCTORS / STAFF Instructors for the variety of classes and “counselors” who live at the WSP Academy with the cadets during the camp are volunteers from federal, state, city, and county law enforcement agencies. Many provide classes as part of their normal, full time job requirements. Others volunteer on their own time. A number of instructors and counselors are previous graduates of the Kiwanis Youth Law Enforcement Youth Camp.

ADMINSTRATION The Washington State Kiwanis Youth Law Enforcement Camp became a 501c3 tax exempt foundation in 2001. Since then, annual reports are filed with the IRS and the office of the Washington State Secretary of State to continue the charity status of the corporation. Combined Fund Drive Charity: During 2008, the Washington State Kiwanis Youth Law Enforcement Camp became a recognized charity with the State of Washington’s Combined Fund Drive. This allows state employees to donate directly to the camp through their payroll office. Donations should begin to be reported during calendar year 2009. Board Meetings: Board meetings are not regularly scheduled, but are called when necessary with 2 days notice by an officer of the Board. There are 7 officers and directors.

CONCLUSION 2009 was another successful year for the Kiwanis Youth Law Enforcement Camp. However, it was a tough year for law enforcement officers in Washington State with 7 officers killed during the last two months of the year. We hope and plan to continue to identify and encourage our high school youth to consider a career in public service and law enforcement.
