CPAAAN Officers For 2010-2011 Are Installed See Photos
CPAAAN Officers of the Year
The CPAAAN Officer of the Year Award for 2009-2010 went to two officers from the NPD Homicide Department who brought a murderer to justice. Investigator J. R. Malbon and Sergeant W. K. Kelly who both went above and beyond the call of duty were presented the plaques by their Supervisor, Captain Ryan.
These two officers solved a complex and very lengthy capital murder case in which the perpetrator raped and stabbed his stepdaughter on September 20, 2008. The case was so strong and well prepared that only two of twenty five defense motions were granted. As a result of lengthy investigations and numerous legal proceedings Kentrell Sanderson pled guilty on February 10, 2010 and was sentenced to 4 life terms plus 5 years.
Chief Bruce Marquis stated that the “work ethic and dedication of Investigator Malbon and Sergeant Kelly contribute to making Norfolk Police Department one of the finest agencies in the nation. He further said that “these are highly motivated officers who have earned the respect of fellow officers and prosecuting attorneys alike.”
Welcome to our Visitors! Two very distinguished members of the faculty of the University Of Illinois College Of Law visited our city recently to observe the structure of the Norfolk Police Department and the type of programs available to the residents of Norfolk. Professor Jacqueline Ross and Thierry Delpeuch of France are currently conducting research funded by a grant on Transnational Intelligence and policing methods in both the United States and France.
CPAAAN was honored to have Professor Jacqueline Ross and Thierry Delpeuch attend a very informative Board of Directors meeting during their time here. Board members were interviewed and offered their input regarding the various City of Norfolk programs. We also had a great opportunity to share the many ways in which our association supports law enforcement.

ABOUT THE CERT TRAINING PROGRAM
The training is a TWO day weekend class held at the Emergency Operations Center
(EOC) 3661 East Virginia Beach Blvd. The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) class is from 8:30 a.m. until 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday and includes all
supplies, materials and lunch both days.
Norfolk CERT Mission and Program Overview
Norfolk’s Department of Emergency Preparedness & Response, Norfolk Fire, Norfolk
Police, Norfolk Public Health, and Norfolk Human Services Departments strive to
promote proactive involvement of private citizens to better prepare their
families and neighborhoods for emergency or disaster situations. Through the
CERT program we hope to identify and provide citizen volunteers special skills
to enable them to prepare, respond, recover and mitigate all hazards either
natural or man made.
The department has partnered with organizations, institutions and agencies to
deliver an established CERT program which meets the guidance established by the
US Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
and the Norfolk Citizens Corps Council.
Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training involves 9 modules which
include 16 hours of course instruction and practical exercise. Our CERT trainers
are City of Norfolk emergency management, firefighters and paramedics.
You, your family members, and friends are invited to become part of Norfolk’s
CERT program. To sign up for a CERT Training class please call 441-5600 or
e-mail james.talbot@norfolk.gov , tynisha.brewer@norfolk.gov
