Council Chairman Brian Guy, Clinton`s police chief, told the Registry that allowing officers to go to training elsewhere „begins to undermine the strong and central concept of the academy.“ Ciechanowski said it was important to „maintain a strong central academy that ensures the normalization and continuity of education.“ This was bad news for Lisbon Police Chief Rick Scott. At a June meeting of the Iowa Law Enforcement Academy Council, he said he plans to hire a third full-time agent for the city of 2,000 and send that agent to Cedar Rapids Academy, about 20 miles away.

Arlen Ciechanowski, the director of the state academy, wants new police officers and deputy sheriffs to attend camp Dodge academy, north of Des Moines. Ciechanowski urged council members to reject requests from police departments to train their new officers at the Cedar Rapids Regional Police Academy and the Des Moines Police Department`s Regional Training Academy. „We work together and we train together and it`s a short distance,“ Scott told the Des Moines Register. „They run a big police academy.
