Police Chief graduates front FBI Academy
by Doftle McGrew
Charles D. Henley wears
a uniform rather than a
three - piece suit and carries a badge, instead of a
briefcase, but his position
as North Ganton Chief of
Police requires all the management expertise demanded of a top business executive.
Chief Henley's management and law enforcement
skills were honed to a fine
edge recently by an 11-
week stint at the FBI National Academy located on
the Marine Corp base at
Quantico, Virginia. Since
1935, when the FBI established the Academy, 18,000
law officers have been
graduated.
Candidate selection for
the Academy is lengthy, thorough and only by invitation of FBI Director William Webster. Chief Henley was nominatedinMarch
1983, by former Mayor
Dennis Grady. Pre-nomi-
nation requirements mandate a candidate hold a full
time management position
as a law enforcement
officer, be between the ages
of 25 and 50, pass a
physical and be of high
moral character. These
entrance requirements are
so stringent that exceeding
body weight standards by
one pound^re^frits -ill disqualification.
On January 6, 1985 one
year and 9 months after
nomination, Chief Henley
arrived at the FBI Academy. Actually; his nomination was processed in
record time. Some candidates have waited as long
as five years for acceptance; others have never
been accepted.
While Chief Henley was
at the Academy, the City
of North Canton paid his
salary while the FBI provided tuition, room and
board, all books, expenses
and transportation costs to
and from activities.
"We were told by the Bureau that cost of the 11
week course is $15,000 per
person,"  said  the Chief.
Upon arrival Police Chief
Charles Henley became one
of the 250 students
from 47 states plus the
District of Columbia and 11
foreign countries whocom- i
prised the 140th session
at the FBI National Academy. The students averaged 38 years of age with
15 years law enforcement
experience. 48.9 percent
held college degrees andsix
were women. For efficiency, the students were
divided into groups of 50.
Each day started at
6 a.m., with physical training at 7 a.m., and classes
from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The
curriculum consisted of required FBI technical law
enforcement courses plus
leadership training classes
offered through theUniver-
sity of Virginia. The FBI
required courses on firearms, trends in law
enforcement selection, undercover operations, use of
deadly force, crisis man- '

agement, ethics and leadership, behavioral science
and law enforcement, and
physical training. The
Chief stressed -the high
caliber      of    instruction.
"Each course was taught
by experienced special
Agents, with "graduate degrees who really wanted
to be.in the_, class room,"
he said.
The University of Virginia leadership training curriculum required one
course from disciplines of
management science, law.
education /communication
The physical fitness
training was as grueling
as the academic regimen.
At first, the students ran
1 - 1/2 miles each day and
performed one hour of cal-
isthentics. By the tenth
week, a 3-mile run was
standard and the calisthen-
tics were progressively
more difficult. The 250
students collectively lost
1100 pounds and the equiva-;
lent of 341 inches around
the waist to set a National Academy record.
The Chief, himself, lost
7 pounds and 2 inches a-
round the waist.
"Most of us worked out
in the evening three or four
times a week just to
keep up. I remember how
it hurt just to get out of
bed," laughed Henley.
No scheduled event was
ever cancelled.   "We ran
■ in four inches of fresh snow
and had firearms practice in below freezing temperatures," .Chief Henley
,   said.
The  Chief  enjoyed  the
fhearms   drills   and  at-
,  tnbuted  his   high  scores
to regular practice on the

Oelslager named to Energy Commission
COLUMBUS - Ohio
Senate President Paul E.
Gillmor recently announced the appointment of State
Senator Scott Oelslager(R-
North Canton) to the Ohio
Advisory Commission on
Energy.
Oelslager said the Com
mission is charged with reviewing, evaluating and
making recommendations
regarding state energypol-
icies and programs to the
Department of Development's Division of Energy.
"Energy issues such.as
oosts, supplyandconserva-
tion affect all of our daily
lives and are vital to our
future economic development. While this Commission   only serves  an ad
visory function, 1 hope my
service on it will allow me
to better represent my constituents' views on energy
related matters," Oelslager said.
An early advertisement for the Winston Motor Car Company that appeared in an 1898
edition of the Scientific American advised readers to "Dispense with a Horse."

child. Do not feel superior to him, for you are
not" RobertHenri
ever, several ofhis English
classmates had never previously fired a hand gun.
Recognizing this unique circumstance, FBI agents
aided them with instruction
after class.
Evening hours were often
spent in conversation
with other students. It was
a once - in - a - lifetime
opportunity to discuss common problems and interests with law enforcement
officers from all over the
world. Bearing witness to
the, comraderie that developed during the 11 weeks
is Chief Henley's collection
of shoulder patches from
each classmate's uniform.
The colorful patches represent countries and law
enforcement agencies as
diverse as the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the
Japanese National Police
Force and the Chief of the
Apache police.
In reflecting on his experience Chief Henley says
"From a professional
standpoint it was a most
rewarding experience. I
have been exposed to the
mast current thoughtin forensic science where lasers
are used to develop latent
fingerprints. I know what
aids are available to me
in investigating a crime.
I have had intensive ex-"-
perience in the decision
making process and have
.developed skills in docir-'
menting why a decision I
reached was a correct one.'
He continued, "In order to deal with crime
and to give the people of
this community the level of
police protection they have
a right to expect, it
is imperative to work
smarter, not harder and to
use our resources, both
human and technical, to
their maximum potential.
I have just experienced 11
weeks of intensive training
that enables me to do just
that."

Stark County Auditor
William B.Bowman recently announcedsettlementand
distribution of first half
real estate taxes totalling
$42,465,637.57, a slight decrease from last year.
Bowman attributed most of
the decrease to a slight
reduction in the levy for
retarded persons programs. There has been
no significant increase in
delinquent real estate taxes. This is a tribute to
the sense of responsibility
of the individual taxpayer,
who recognizes that his
property taxes support education and other vital local services.
Of the total amount. $29,
591,068.13 is destined for
local   school   boards and
vocational schools, some
70% of the total. $3,678,
715.18 is headed for townships, $502,320.35 for regional transit and other
special districts, and $2,
048,411.40 for Stark Coun-1
ty's five cities and 14 villages. Stark County government will receive $3,823,
460.03 or 9% of the total.
Retarded persons programs will receive $1,679,
211.84, Mental Health programs, $561,789.68, and
Molly Stark Hospital -$580,
660.96 from their respective voted levies.
Bowman also pointed out
that nearly 18 million dollars, or 42% of the total,
has already been advanced
upon request, to school districts and other taxing authorities.

Johnson endorses
Anti-racketeering bill
COLUMBUS -State Rep.
David W. Johnson (R-North
Canton) announced the recent passage of anti - racketeering legislation by
the Ohio House of Representatives.
The proposal, Substitute House Bill 5, is
aimed at curbing organized
crime. It would give prosecutors and judges broader
powers in dealing with the
career criminal and permit
seizure of the proceeds
from his illegal act.
"The bill would allow
prosecutors to bring racketeering charges against
persons engaging in two
or more criminal activities, including perjury,
robbery, kidnapping, arson, extortion, theft in office, and murder." commented Rep. Johnson.
"Proceeds from confiscated property would go
into a special fund to
support additional organized crime investigation."
If the bill becomes
law, racketeering would be
raised to a first degree
felony. Convicted criminals would be sentenced to
anywhere from 4 to 25 years
in   prison   and   be   sub
ject to civil action from
victims who could claim
three times the amount of
their losses.
Rep. Johnson concluded,
"House bill 5 sends a message to criminals that
Ohio is getting tough when
it comes to organized
crime in our state."
