The conference agenda was wrapped up today!!  The board has worked hard to put together what we feel is a great agenda.  A lot of your recommendations from the evaluations went into play in the planning process.  The conference starts out with a full day of community oriented policing topics presented by Bill Bongle from Green Bay PD and Andy Fischer from the United Kingdom.  There will be some great ideas that you can take back and put to use immediately in your community.  Andy will also touch on policng in the U.K. and some of the great projects that they have implemented across the pond.   We will end the evening with a great networking event featuring the Pat Pedersen Band (Neenah PD officer).

The second day will feature some timely information on prescription drug abuse and crime prevention strategies for pharmacies from Ritch Wagner, a retired Nebraska State Patrol captain who is now with Purdue Pharma.  The afternoon will feature new scams and cons along with an overview of the US Postal Inspectors and we will end with a session from the WI Division of Criminal Investigation on internet predators.

Our annual awards banquet will be that evening and we have a special speaker that we are working on for the night.  Don’t forget to nominate your programs and people for recognition.

And we will wrap up the conference with the ever popular Dave Perlman’s legal update.  As always, we will have a stellar raffle, so bring some extra cash along for that. Proceeds help offset the numerous trainings that we have been offering recently.

A detailed agenda is posted in the conference section of the website along with the registration form!

Your board of directors have been busy the past few months planning for an exciting 2012! We are close to finalizing the agenda for our conference in Appleton this September. We already have two speakers confirmed that have national and international ties to law enforcement and crime prevention!

We have also been working on some other training opportunities that we hope to wrap up in the next few months. If you have any suggestions for training or any other aspect of crime prevention and community policing, don’t hesitate to contact one of the board members.

Our annual training conference is only a month away!!  We have many great featured speakers this year such as Paul Mellor who has travelled the country helping officers improve their memory skills and Earl Smith who is known throughout the US for his innovative CPTED ideas.  Click the link in the above toolbar for more info on the conference and the other great speakers we have lined up.

The board of directors has also been busy obtaining some great raffle items and planning some fun networking events for the evenings.  And to be in Lake Genveva in the early fall…..it’s going to be great!

See you next month!!
