Lexington Conference - A Huge Success!

The IAWP Annual Conference held in Lexington, Kentucky was a huge success with many training sessions that appealed to many aspects of law enforcement and great networking opportunities.  The hosts of the conference went well above board to keep the conference running smoothly, provide plenty of time for attendees to socialize and meet new friends and provide excellent training sessions where new skills were learned.

Day One started with the Parade of Nations, which is always a colorful sight.  This was followed by a reception with the United Nations Assistant General. 

Day Two started the four days of training.  I had the opportunity to attend the session with none other than Angie Dickinson of Police Woman.   Some of the other training that was offered was:

• dealing with the media
• social media challenges and opportunities
• terrrorism
• surveillance detection
• firearms training
• self defense
• developing leadership in others
• mentoring
• child predators
• global law nforcement
• the work being done by the United Nations Police

Conference hosts made sure that after the training sessions were done for the day that there was plenty of fun and opportunity to network in the evenings.  Social events included a trip to the Woodford Reserve for bourbon tasting and the final banquet at the Kentucky Horse Park which included the "Parade of Horse Breeds" and a contest on the most unique hats. 

Don't miss next year's conference!
