Thank you !
OPENING CEREMONIES were credited to the Niagara Regional Police Service Chief Bryan Mac- Culloch , followed by a warm welcome from Niagara Falls Mayor Jim Diodati who gave his appreciation for our association and the jobs we do as Municipal Law Enforcement Officers .
The week included presentations on the kindness advantage , coyote awareness , human trafficking , tools for professional de-escalation , dog tools for by-law officers , Introduction to Administrative Penalties , equity diversity and inclusion , encampments , What to expect if the Ontario Ombudsman calls , OPIOD awareness , guns and gangs and a mock trial . A huge thank you goes out to all of the presenters who attended , without their time and support , we would not be able to provide such a unique and outstanding conference .
We would like to express our deepest gratitude to our esteemed speakers , trainers , and facilitators who delivered valuable insights , knowledge , and expertise during the seminar . Your contributions were invaluable and enhanced the quality of the training sessions , providing our members with practical tools to excel in their roles .
The Monday night networking at the Niagara Parks Power station included the must see show Currents : Niagara ’ s Power Transformed . This epic light and sound show inside the heart of the plant featured immersive , interactive media where projected effects reacted to your presence . After an amazing light show we took a journey deep below and behind the heart of Niagara , and stood in the mist where the mighty Horseshoe Falls tumbles from 13 storeys above !
The Wednesday night President ’ s Dinner included our annual awards night as well as a hilarious comedy show .
If there was ever a moment to stop and thank your board for what they do throughout the year , this would be the time to do it . The MLEOA Board works hard to ensure that the membership is kept up to date and provided with the best continuing education possible . A special thank you to the conference committee Justin Harris and Kristen Ford .
We look forward to moving forward with the preparation of the 2024 conference being hosted in London , Ontario . Please be sure to watch your emails and the MLEOA website for more information .
