I think the last class was Van Wyk's last. At least that is what one of the LC deputies told me a couple weeks ago.........

That's a big 10-4, we were Van Wyk's last class. Ciechanowsky made mention of leaving soon also, but that spot open is for Van Wyk.

I think the morale with the staff isn't very good!!

Its been a hundred yrs since I was down there----but from what I hear inside the Iowa government------very few people can get along with Penny.

In ANY of the jobs she has held in the last 15 yrs-----

I understand she is trying to take over training for the DOC----not that ILEA training wouldn't be good for the department-----but--------

That's a very true statement from the things we 'heard' from 'people' while we were at the academy. Hell, our whole class hated her. She's actually a nice person but she's got NO business being in charge of any type of law enforcement. Im sure she was a great lawyer but just because you got asked to drive a desk for your buddy sheriff for a couple years doesn't qualify you to be in charge of teaching street survival and patrol skills to new cops.

Remember -----between Story County and ILEA she was the Commissioner of Public Safety. That's where I heard most of my stories (from the DPS officers).

Ha Van Wyk is classic. I got my *** chewed in his class once for laughing. A couple guys next to me were f'ing around and I couldn't stop giggling. Let's just say he wasn't happy about it and had no qualms about calling me out in class. Other than that he was a pretty good guy. It will be interesting to see who replaces him.
