Conferences such as the IACP conference provide attendees with firsthand access to new research, technologies, and methodologies being adopted across the law enforcement profession. Attending allows Lathrop Police Department leaders to evaluate emerging tools, strengthen strategic planning efforts, and ensure the City is equipped to meet complex public safety challenges using the most effective and fiscally responsible approaches.
In addition to the Chief of Police, staff requests attendance by the Operations Captain to maximize the department' s access to training and resources offered at the IACP Conference. With over 200 workshops and presentations scheduled, sending multiple attendees allows the team to cover more topics, attend concurrent sessions, and bring back a wider range of strategies and tools to improve department operations.
This ensures more personnel benefit from the training and allows for better sharing and implementation of ideas that support effective, modern public safety services in Lathrop.
Participation in this nationally recognized event supports Lathrop' scontinued efforts to foster a highly trained and responsive public safety team.
