By way of introduction, my name is Jayson McGrath, and I am a Deputy Prosecutor in Indianapolis. Our office has formed a new division specifically to combat the ever-increasing threat of burglary in our city – this division is called the Burglary Enforcement Strategy Team (BEST). Our primary goal is to see reduction of burglary through two methods: prosecution of multiple offenders and educating the community about burglary prevention techniques through public forums.
Our office is conducting such a forum at the Community Alliance of the Far Eastside (CAFE), 8902 E. 38th Street (38th & Post area) on September 21, 2010 from 5:30 P.M. to 7:30 P.M. The flyer for the event is attached (in English and Spanish). Some refreshments will be provided, and certain selected security companies will be on-hand to provide information about their products and possibly a door prize to participating residents. The purpose of this email is to request your assistance in keeping our citizens informed about this opportunity. Would each of you be willing to forward this message and flyer to your constituents and/or contacts? Our office would most appreciate that, as I’m sure the citizenry will receive a great benefit from this program. Thank you for any assistance you can provide. I’ve also CC’d Ms. Yvonne Smith, CAFE Neighborhood Coordinator, for any questions you may have about the facility.
Again, I greatly appreciate your willingness to assist. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Jayson W. McGrath

Indianapolis Participates in First Nationwide DEA Prescription Drug Take-Back Day
On Saturday, Sept. 25, the Drug Enforcement Administration is holding its first national prescription-drug "Take-Back" initiative, and several drop-off locations are located in and near Indianapolis.
From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on that day, participating sites will collect expired, unused and unwanted prescription drugs, which will be properly disposed of. The service is free and anonymous; no questions will be asked.
Area Take-Back drop-off sites include:
* St. Monica Catholic Church, 6131 N. Michigan Road, Indianapolis
* Capital City Baptist Church, 1002 W. Edgewood Ave., Indianapolis
* Indiana State Police Post, 8620 E. 21st St., Indianapolis
* Beech Grove Police Department, 340 E. Churchman Ave., Beech Grove
* Cumberland Police Department, 11501 E. Washington St., Cumberland
* Pittsboro United Methodist Church, 227 E. Main St., Pittsboro
Medications for both human and veterinary purposes will be accepted. Some facilities might have the ability to accommodate injectable drugs; call ahead for more information. Those bringing prescription drugs are asked to remove any personal information from bottles and other containers. All prescription containers will be burned along with the medications they contain.
"We are aggressively reaching out to individuals to encourage them to rid their households of unused prescription drugs that pose a safety hazard and can contribute to prescription-drug abuse," said the nation's acting deputy attorney general Gary G. Grindler.
According to the director of National Drug Control Policy, Gil Kerlikowske, prescription-drug abuse is the fastest-growing drug problem in the United States, with a corresponding increase in the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to such drugs. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet. In addition, many people do not know how to properly dispose of unused medication. Flushing drugs down the toilet or simply tossing them in the trash both present potential health and safety hazards.
In Indiana, a 2009 report from the Indiana University Center for Health Policy found that 7.6 percent of Hoosiers reported abusing prescription drugs in the past year, higher than the national rate of 6.2 percent. And a national study by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration released this year showed a 400 percent increase in substance abuse treatment admissions for prescription pain relievers between 1998 and 2008.
"Take-back events like this one are an indispensable tool for reducing the threat that the diversion and abuse of these drugs pose to public health," Kerlikowske said.
For more information on the Indianapolis-area Take-Back program, contact Dennis Wichern, DEA assistant special agent in charge, at 317-226-7981.

Mayor, Hospital Leaders Announce The New Wishard On Time, Under Budget
Mayor Greg Ballard joined Wishard leaders today at City Market to announce The New Wishard Report to our Community, a new informational campaign for Wishard to report the efficient progress of the new hospital project to the community that, with an overwhelming vote on Nov. 3, 2009, made a new Wishard possible. During Wishard’s Health Fair at City Market, leaders announced that The New Wishard project is on time and under budget, and Wishard shared detailed renderings and a model of the new hospital, which Wishard designed in part using input from patients, physicians and staff.
“Last fall, the Indianapolis community showed tremendous compassion and a spirit of cooperation in supporting a new safety net hospital, and since then Wishard has worked quickly, responsibly and efficiently to achieve the goals we set,” said Mayor Ballard. “With this project, Wishard is creating and supporting thousands of jobs and improving the sustainability of our city by making this one of the nation’s foremost new hospitals in environmental design and energy efficiency. The new hospital will create a home where Wishard can continue to provide the top quality care and public health programs upon which our community relies. Wishard is a tremendous steward of public support and a resource for health and safety.”
City-County Councillor Barbara Malone, Wishard CEO and Medical Director Dr. Lisa Harris, and Health and Hospital Corporation CEO Matthew Gutwein joined Mayor Ballard in speaking at the Report to Our Community event. The project is achieving savings through contracting and bond financing, and Wishard is ahead of goals for minority-, women- and veteran-owned business participation.
“Wishard is executing this project well, showing itself to be as financially responsible and adept at planning as it is proficient in delivering excellent quality health care,” said Councillor Malone, chairperson of the Municipal Corporations Committee. “I am proud to see good stewardship of public funds, proud that Wishard has upheld its commitment not to raise property taxes, and I am proud to see Wishard exceeding participation levels for minority-, women- and veteran-owned businesses. I look forward to seeing Wishard’s continued progress, job creation and commitment to diversity as much as I look forward to seeing this new hospital in three years.”
The New Wishard, opening at the end of 2013, will feature a 327-bed inpatient hospital. Wishard project leaders registered the 1.2 million square foot campus to achieve United States Green Building Council (USGBC) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver certification that will make it the first newly built hospital in Indiana and one of ten in America certified LEED Silver or higher.
“We are proud of The New Wishard, which we’ve designed, with the input of our physicians, our nurses and our patients, to provide the best and most comforting quality care,” said Dr. Harris. “The new hospital will be a welcoming and accessible place that enhances quality of life for our patients, our staff and our community.”
Wishard is exceeding contract goals for minority-, women- and veteran-owned business enterprise (M/W/VBE) participation. While aiming to achieve the City’s goals of 15 percent MBE, 8 percent WBE and 3 percent VBE, Wishard has achieved so far 16.4 percent MBE, 10.4 WBE and 4.1 percent VBE, with nearly 31 percent of all commitments going to M/W/VBEs.
“We are achieving the goals we set out to attain,” said CEO Gutwein. “We are under budget. We achieved an excellent rate on our bonds, saving hundreds of millions against our worst-case projections over the life of the bonds. We are contracting with minority-, women- and veteran-owned businesses, and we are contracting with predominantly local businesses. We are proud to report this progress to the community and to the many individuals and organizations that supported a new Wishard one year ago.”
Wishard’s Report to Our Community will continue through the fall. Wishard supplements the campaign with a 16-page report as well as a revamped Web site at TheNewWishard.org. The refreshed site features an interactive 3-D rendering, new video content and enhanced interactivity and social networking features. Wishard officials will conduct a series of community meetings and presentations over the next few months to report on the project’s progres.
Wishard has approved more than $113 million in construction contracts and plans to complete all bid awards for the hospital and ambulatory care building by the end of the year. The New Wishard project will create 4,400 jobs, and the new hospital will support the more than 4,000 Wishard staff positions as well as a new venue for the more than 1,000 physicians who practice at Wishard.
The renderings feature an 11-story hospital tower adjoining a 200-room ambulatory care building, a 90-bed treatment room emergency department with a 20-bed clinical decision unit and Wishard’s Adult Level I Trauma Center, a faculty and administration building, and a more than 2,700-car parking garage on the 37-acre campus at the western end of the IUPUI campus.
The project to construct a new Wishard will transform the landscape of health care in Indianapolis. Marion County voters approved construction of a new Wishard in the Nov. 3, 2009 election, with 85 percent support for the measure, and Wishard began work immediately. Wishard plans to complete the new facility at the end of 2013. To learn more about the construction project, visit www.TheNewWishard.org.

Mayor Ballard Announces Internal IMPD Reforms
Mayor Greg Ballard today announced reforms aimed at strengthening accountability and restoring public trust in the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.
“When I took the oath of office as your mayor, I pledged to make public safety job one. For public safety to be job one, we must have the confidence of the public,” Mayor Ballard said. “It is clear—loud and clear—this trust has been badly shaken by recent events. I am committed to restoring your trust in IMPD. I do not tolerate police misconduct, the use of excessive force, or corruption. I will dismiss those officers and commanders who do not share my priorities and concerns.”
Mayor Ballard announced the following reforms:
* At the scene of vehicle accidents involving a police officer that result in bodily injury or property damage, breathalyzers will be administered to the officer involved.
* Purchase of alcohol in uniform is prohibited. While officers are prohibited from purchasing alcohol in uniform now, the current policy is being amended to ban them from transporting alcohol in police vehicles, marked or unmarked.
* No alcohol consumption permitted within eight hours of the beginning of a shift. A Department of Public Safety (DPS)-wide zero tolerance policy for alcohol in an officer’s system will be adopted.
* It will be the stated duty of every officer to report suspected substance abuse or other conditions that could endanger the public or impair an officer’s ability to do the job.
* DPS will make a renewed commitment to make every officer aware of help available to them to deal with stress and substance abuse. Should current resources be found inadequate after an internal review process, new programs will be implemented.
Ongoing reforms include establishment of a professional standards division within DPS to aggressively root out misconduct and criminal behavior and to ensure objectivity and fairness in reviews of all criminal or administrative complaints. This division will develop an early warning tool to identify employees who are in need of special attention to prevent misconduct from occurring. Working with the Police Executive Research Forum, DPS will revise IMPD’s general orders beginning with the most critical and sensitive police practices, such as search and seizure, use of force, pursuits, police-action shootings, and accidents. Additionally, a civilian has been hired to lead IMPD training to ensure the training meets our city’s challenges.
“We are reforming IMPD in a deliberate and thoughtful manner,” Mayor Ballard said. “In addition to the reforms that are currently under way, my administration continues to implement reforms to root out misconduct, excessive use of force and corruption.”
Reforms instituted during the course of this administration include:
* Upgrades to use computerized statistics and crime maps to hold every commander accountable for the crime occurring in their districts.
* Introduction of procedures for collecting and inventorying contraband and money to prevent mishandling of evidence.
* Creation of the career and leadership development program to strengthen IMPD’s recruiting, employee evaluations, supervisory appraisals, and career planning.
* Establishment of the youth-police initiative to improve the relationship between our young people and our police officers.
* Deployment of 135 police officers and detectives to crime hot spots in the east, north and northwest districts.
As a result of these reforms, the uptick in homicides has been reversed and crime reductions have been achieved in each district. Specifically, this June, July, and August, Indianapolis saw the lowest number of homicides in the past 20 years. Rapes, robberies, and residential burglaries are down significantly. Violent crime overall is down more than 13 percent.
Mayor Ballard welcomes input from the public and pledged today to work with anyone offering constructive ideas.
“We are taking decisive action to reform IMPD, to restore public confidence in our police force, and to continue our fight against crime. We cannot have a strong Indianapolis without a strong police force,” Mayor Ballard said. "Protecting you, your neighbors, and your families is the highest responsibility I bear as your mayor. I accept this responsibility, and I am committed to restoring the public’s trust in our officers and reforming this department.”
