From IDS reports By Dominick Jean
Bloomington Police Department Officer Kiley Jarrett was punched in the face by a man named Martez Bess while investigating a complaint Monday night. She received a black eye and was taken to the hospital for X-rays. Jarrett was responding to a call to check on a disturbance at 703 W. Gourley Pike. An unknown woman reported a verbal argument with Bess and said Bess had caused damage in her apartment. BPD took down a report and told her to call again if there was another issue. BPD received another call around 11 p.m. from the same woman who said Bess had kicked in her door. When police arrived, Bess was exiting the apartment and yelling at the

Technology is constantly changing, and real-time data is vital to law enforcement agencies like the Bloomington Police Department, Capt. Steve Kellams said. “You’ve got to have real-time data and you’ve got to have it at your fingertips,” Kellams said. To get that real-time data, BPD maintains technology-heavy systems, both at its station as well as in its patrol cars. Each car is equipped with a laptop and a system called Street Smart, which shows the location of calls and officers. BPD was the second police department in the country to use this system, following the Tampa Police Department in Florida. At first, Street Smart was designed to
be the “officer’s notebook,” Kellams said. It allows officers to communicate and report on developments in real time with other officers through blogs. Officers can also check through bulletins and alerts if they believe they have a suspect nearby or in front of them. BPD was one of the first police departments in the country to use several other cutting-edge technologies. The department began using body cameras on its officers a year before the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. After that incident, police departments began to use body cameras more. As a result of BPD’s early adoption, Chief Michael Diekhoff was asked to help create national guidelines for their use. Because of the close partnership between BPD and the IU Police DepartSEE TECH, PAGE 6

A constant adaptation of technology is necessary to allow the most adequate reporting of crimes and transparency to the public, especially on the open roads where law enforcement spend a majority of their time.

MEN’S SOCCER
Underclassmen pushing to find game time By Josh Eastern jeastern@umail.iu.edu | @JoshEastern
When looking at the 2016 Hoosiers, there is one thing that jumps out: the depth of this team. IU comes into this season with high expectations as IU Coach Todd Yeagley has been to the NCAA Tournament in every season he has been head coach in Bloomington. They come in ranked No. 13 and have highprofile matches on their schedule. But there is no more Femi Hollinger-Janzen, IU’s leading goal scorer in 2015. There is no Matt Foldesy, who started in every game. There is no graduate transfer Ben Maurey or forward Kyle Sparks. They all graduated, which means others are now required to step up to fill those roles. The question is, who is filling in SEE SOCCER, PAGE 6

Following the Orlando, Florida, shootings in June, IU Police Department Deputy Chief Doug Johnson called members of the IU LGBT and Muslim communities to check in with them. “We have such a wonderfully diverse campus,” Johnson said. “But the challenge is, when you have a population that large and diverse, how do we make sure that we are communicating with everyone and communicating effectively?” The goal is to ensure all students are comfortable sharing information and interacting with the IUPD, Johnson said. While international and minority students may not
have full-time IUPD liaison officers assigned to their communities, they have an entire police force dedicated to their safety. Rendy Schrader, Office of International Services director of student and scholar advising, and Johnson said the greatest challenge with international students is cultural differences, which require students to be taught about Indiana laws and customs and for officers to be trained to be sensitive to other cultures. In some countries, Johnson said, the public’s relationship to police is more strained than in the United States. In some places, people leave doors unlocked and don’t worry
