For the new visitors to our magazine - welcome! For your information, the present administration took office on September 21, 2006 and has been very active since that date. Our Strategic Planning Committee (SPC) is charged with setting the stage for future IAWP growth and development. They provide regular updates to both the magazine and the website. Now onto the latest news!
I trust that everyone had a memorable holiday season and that you are now eager to move into a new year filled with hope and promise.
As I mentioned in my last message, I am a big believer in succession planning and, while we are still two years away from the next IAWP election, it is time to start planning for the future. As such, I encourage anyone who is interested in serving on the Board of Directors to approach a current board member to indicate your interest. This is your opportunity to get involved and hone your leadership skills - get involved!
The Spring Board Meeting will be held in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada from April 25 - 27, 2008. If there is an issue that you believe needs to be discussed, simply bring it to the attention of your Regional Coordinator and it will be added to the agenda. Furthermore, any IAWP member who wishes to attend the SBM should contact me so we can arrange for appropriate seating.

We ask you take a few minutes to answer a suvey created by the Strategic Planning Committee. We wish to inquire of the membership your opinions, ideas and talents you may wish to share with your organization. Please follow the link below to the survey page. As Chair of the Strategic Planning Committee, I wish to express my thanks to everyone who worked to make our April 26th session another success. Strategic Planning Committee members able to attend the SBM, Jane Townsley and Julie Brunzell, continue to provide strong input and feedback to me and to the BOD. I appreciate their commitment and stamina particularly when they both wear other hats for IAWP - Jane as First VP and Julie as a member of the Board of Trustees. I acknowledge again the confidence that President Amy Ramsay continues to rest in me and in my Committee. It is clear however that only with contributions from the bedrock of our organization -- our membership -- can we create the future of the International Association of Women Police to which we have committed our Mission.

Women in the Interrogation Room
The latest production by the Michael Hoff Productions is a "COPS" special called "Interrogation Room". They are now developing a non-fiction show portraying women detectives and their interrogation techniques. Their interest is to see if women investigators approach subject interviews the same as men, or if their tactics are different.
The Michael Hoff Production team is interested in portraying this subject matter as accurately as possible.
They are interested in speaking to others in regarding perceived or actual gender differences in the interrogation room. If you are a women investigator or know of a female investigator with exceptional interrogation techniques and would like to provide assistance with this production please contact Shirley Tatum. Ms. Tatum works in development for the Michael Hoff Production Company and can be reached at (415) 218-6968 or by email at statum@mhptv.com .
"Fast-paced … Burke offers an insider's view of the life of a female undercover drug cop working in a field in which women were rarely treated as equals…Burke's book, which is packed with action and suspense, tells an inspiring story of a woman who beat the odds more than once."
-Publishers Weekly
With all the suspense and intrigue of a crime novel, Kathy Burke, the most highly decorated female detective in the NYPD's history, tells the amazing, true tale of her twenty-three year career in DETECTIVE: The Inspirational Story of the Trailblazing Woman Cop Who Wouldn't Quit (Scribner; September 2006; $25.00). Full of adventure, courage, scandal, and romance, DETECTIVE is the story of a born trailblazer.
DETECTIVE is filled with action and behind-the-scenes details, but it is-more than anything else-a powerful and inspiring personal story. Burke survived shootings, stabbings, and assaults, and she did it all in the face of corruption and male hostility along with years of recrimination, a painful divorce from her police chief husband, and even her battle with ovarian cancer. DETECTIVE is a cop's story, a woman's story, and, most of all, a survivor's story.
Burke vividly and excitingly portrays every aspect of a cop's experience, taking readers from the discos where she flirted with drug dealers, to the halls of Congress where she testified about police corruption with a paper bag over her head (to protect her undercover persona), to a deserted street in Queens where a tragic shooting would forever change her career and her life. Burke is brutally honest in her criticism of NYPD leadership and corruption within the department, in her accounts of the physical and emotional toll taken by the job that she loved, and in describing the sacrifices-sometimes even the greatest sacrifice of all-that every cop must make.
