I hope those ISPA members who traveled to Waterloo had a great time! McFarland and the WPPA did a great job hosting the conference and set the bar high for the Des Moines Police Burial Association hosting October 2020.
Just wanted to say a little hello from West Des Moines, Iowa. First, I wanted to extend my thanks to all of the ISPA members and especially the Waterloo Police Protective Association for their support in making the 2019 ISPA conference a success. I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and were able to spend time with family and friends. This year has gone by quickly and Christmas is fast approaching. I hope the rest of the holiday season treats everyone well. I was recently elected as the Iowa State Police Association (ISPA) Junior Director in October at the Annual ISPA Conference in Waterloo
Are you a police officer who is secretly struggling with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)? A police officer can be exposed to many terrifying images and events that can trigger PTSD. Unfortunately, many police officers suffer in silence without getting the proper treatment to overcome PTSD. As a result, here are 7 helpful tips on how to help a fellow police officer who is struggling with this fear related disorder. 
On October 3, 2019, the MFPRSI Board of Trustees approved the 2019 fiscal year actuarial report provided by its actuary, SilverStone Group. The city’s contribution rate was set at 25.31% effective July 1, 2020, an increase of 0.90% from the 2019 rate. The board continues to maintain its goal to increase the funded status of the plan and subsequently decrease the city's contribution rate to the statutorily imposed 17% floor.
