"Hillsdale is an unincorporated community in Helt Township, Vermillion County, in the U.S. state of Indiana. History A post office has been in operation at Hillsdale since 1872. The town was laid out in 1873. The community was so named on account of its lofty elevation. Its early businesses were located at the bottom of the hill, near the railroad depot, but most of the houses were built higher up on the hillside. This elevation difference complicated movement between the two sections of the community, so in 1903 the Hillsdale Steps were built on the hillside to improve foot transportation.The Hillsdale Steps, Indiana Historical Bureau, n.d. Accessed 2012-05-23. Geography Hillsdale is located at (39.782020, -87.388270) on the western banks of the Wabash River. Trivia The 1994 children's film Blank Check was set in a fictionalized version of Hillsdale which seems to be a major city rather than the true-life community. However, the movie was filmed in and around Austin, Texas.

"Calibre Press is a company based in Illinois that conducts training for law enforcement officers in the United States.Minnesota Police Officer's 'Bulletproof Warrior' Training Is Questioned, New York Times (July 14, 2016). The company is owned by Lisa Gitchell, CEO and Jim Glennon, a former police lieutenant in the Chicago suburb of Lombard, Illinois.Peter Robison, Inside the School Teaching Cops When It’s OK to Kill, Bloomberg BusinessWeek (July 1, 2009). Gitchell and Glennon purchased Calibre Press in 2012. The company offers training seminars for Federal, State, Local and Tribal Law Enforcement as well as first responders, and in 2018 was reported to offer over 200 classes per year (an increase from 35 classes a year in 2012); among these are Emotional Survival for Female Enforcers, Constitutional Use of Force, Read- Recognize-Respond (deescalation), Balancing Our Biases (implicit bias), and many more. Calibre Press instructors (twelve in all, including Glennon) make presentations to more than 20,000 officers a year. Calibre Press publishes books for public safety, including Arresting Communications and Street Survival. It recently distributed In Context by Nick Selby, Ben Singleton, and Ed Flosi. Glennon intends to grow the books publishing aspect of the business. CalibrePress.com publishes weekly piece on such topics as mindfulness for first responders, leadership, and deescalation and distributes then via a weekly newsletter. The email newsletter, called the Newsline, began in 1996 and now reaches approximately 130,000 police officers nationally. Under Gitchell and Glennon's ownership, Calibre Press has worked with dozens of journalists, including National Public Radio, Minnesota Public Radio, Vice, Bloomberg, The New York Times, and dozens of local affiliates in an effort to increase public awareness. Although criticised for 'warrior' training, Glennon points out that none of the critics has actually attended the training. The exception to this is Bloomberg BusinessWeek, which reported that "Like many companies in the business, Calibre promotes a 'warrior' mentality for police, likening cops to soldiers and focusing on conflict, vigilance, and martial skills." Glennon disputes this characterization. St. Paul police Commander Ed Lemmon told journalist Robert Sanchez about Calibre Press: "The idea is the deeper your understanding about what's happening, the more you're able to deal with it because you'll recognize what it is." Sue Rahr, Executive Director of the Washington State Criminal Justice Training Commission and the most prominent police critic of warrior policing, has said that Calibre Press training isn't 'warrior' training. The content of the "Bulletproof Warrior" seminar and associated booklet in particular has been criticized by the executive director of the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF) for portraying the world as being a "constant and increased threat to officers" and for emphasizing that "officers are allowed to — and need to — use more force than they may believe, and to use it pre-emptively."
