Good afternoon Members!

Want to share the process on how the Tools of the Trade certificates are going to be distributed this year. We are moving 2021 - 2023 certificates to a different platform hosted by out website. At some point during Day 2 or 3, a page will be put up with the name everyone who attends the breakout classes. Your names will be linked to your certificate for download by the end of LACCA week.

Now remember, the only way to get a certificate is to sign in AND out of the class - pay attention & take part - then complete the test for each tool.

CHANGES TO THE BREAK OUT SERIES THIS YEAR

At this year's conference, the Break Out Series will be structured a little differently. Control Pole and OC will be taught first, followed by Expandable Baton. Much of the Officer Safety discussion will be omitted from the lectures as another speaker will be covering that topic this year. This should allow for more time for everyone's favorite part of the day - the practical applications.

A brief overview of LEDET is still scheduled to be included.

CONFERENCE SCHEDULE

We know all of you are anxious to find out what's going on when this year. Full disclosure... we are finalizing the schedule at the time of this post.

Don't wait until the last minute to register!
