California Police Chiefs Association took the event statewide and brought in the State Sheriffs’ Association, the California Peace Officers’ Association and the California Highway Patrol as co-sponsors. To this day, WLLE hosts upwards of 800 female and male attendees each year. WLLE has grown tremendously since 1987, and this year we were honored to have attendees from states such as; Arizona, Colorado, Michigan, Nevada, Texas, Tennessee and Utah.
Chief Sandra Spagnoli was the recipient of this year’ s Trail Blazer award which is presented annually to a woman working in law enforcement( sworn or professional) who has made outstanding contributions to her profession and / or professional organization. A secondary consideration is her contribution to the California community as a volunteer. The community service may be in any sector( human services, the arts, civic, political) but must be as a volunteer and not as an employee or elected official.
The Women Leaders in Law Enforcement Training Symposium would not be possible if not for our generous sponsors; American Military University, U. S. Armor, Union University, Jones & Mayer, Liebert Cassidy Whitmore, Wells Fargo: Home Mortgage, Cambridge Financial, Sun Ridge Systems, Blauer, San Jose Police Department, CAHP Credit Union, Nationwide, Bob Murray & Associates, Bay Area Rapid Transit Police and LA County Police Chiefs Association.
The San Diego Chapter of WLLE hosted this year’ s event and planning for the 12h Annual Women Leaders in Law Enforcement Training Symposium is already underway! We hope you will join us in Monterey November 5-7, 2017 when we are hosted by the Central Coast WLLE Chapter. ■
