About this session:
A pursuit crosses a county line. A shooting has three jurisdictions on scene inside ten minutes. A digital evidence trail runs through a department that isn't yours. None of this waits for agencies to agree on how they'll talk to each other, that has to already be built. This session is a direct conversation with command staff who built it: the systems, the trust, and the governance that let departments, prosecutors, and regional partners actually function as one team under pressure, not just on paper.
What you will learn:
- How Deputy Chief Kendale Adams aligned policy, discipline, and officer buy-in across IMPD's 1,300+ body-camera rollout
- What changed in St. Louis County's evidence workflow after Detective Michael Clinton's 700+ camera, 350 in-car system deployment, the boots-on-ground view most panels skip
- How Chief Phillip Smith, a 2020 recipient of the U.S. Attorney General's Award for Distinguished Service in Policing, turns community trust into leverage when coordinating with prosecutors and neighboring agencies
- What it actually takes to keep three agencies aligned on the same incident, from the command staff who've had to do it
Who you will hear from:
- Deputy Chief Kendale Adams oversees policy, discipline, and internal governance for the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, including the department's 1,300+ body-worn camera deployment.
- Chief Phillip Smith leads the Evansville Police Department and is a 2020 recipient of the U.S. Attorney General's Award for Distinguished Service in Policing.
- Detective Michael Clinton is a cyber and cryptocurrency investigator with the St. Louis County Police Department who led the deployment of 700+ body cameras and 350 in-car systems.
- Moderated by Sheriff (Ret.) John Boyd, 34 years in law enforcement including two terms as Sheriff of La Porte County, IN. He brings the perspective of a leader who has sat in the chair this audience is sitting in.
