The Summer Training Conference is a wonderful opportunity for you to network with other members while receiving valuable training. Exhibitors dedicated to enhancing law enforcement will be participating in this year’s conference, providing the latest police equipment, services, technology and publications.  We encourage you to visit their booths, but more importantly, we ask that you keep them in mind when making decisions to purchase equipment for your department.
