(Continued from Cover)
and listened as Chief Walker received ideas for his goals
in the upcoming year as President.
The 2019 Summer Training Conference is scheduled for
July 21-24 in Savannah. Registration for the Conference
and hotel accommodations are now open. As a reminder
the installation of the new officers on the Board will be
on Tuesday afternoon.
The luncheon arrangement was a huge success last year
with more than double the attendees. The meals were
excellent, and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive.
We again ask that attendees wear proper business attire,
(suit, sport coat, uniform etc.). Speaking of the new
Board we have three quality Candidates running for 4th
Vice President including (in alphabetical order) Chiefs
Scott Gray (Fayetteville Police), Alan Rowe (Valdosta
State University Police) and Charles Spann (Atlanta
Technical College Police). When you see them at the
conference thank them for stepping up to make our as-
sociation the professional organization it is.
Finally, the board and I could not do the job you elected
us to do without the amazing staff at GACP. When you
see them at our conferences, training sessions, and other
events let them know they are appreciated.
