The Florida Police Chiefs Association is holding
its Mid-Winter Conference and Exposition from January 14-17, 2001, at the
World Golf Village Resort Hotel, in St. Augustine, Florida and you are
cordially invited to attend. Once again, Chief Rick Overman and the
members of the Training Committee have put together an outstanding program
which will address the contemporary needs of law enforcement administrators around the state.
Dr. Kevin M. Gilmartin, Ph.D, will be our featured speaker on Monday, January 15, starting
at 9:00 a.m. until noon and then again from 2:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m. The title of
his presentation will be, "Malcontent & Problem Cops: An Organizational Intervention." Dr.
Martin's presentation is designed to assist law enforcement executives by reviewing the
individual development and impact of high-risk officers by increasing the awareness
of the changes that occur across the span of a law enforcement career. The dynamics that
can transform idealistic and committed employees into angry and cynical individuals
will be examined. Dr. Gilmartin's goal is to provide information that permits law enforcement
executives to review strategies for prevention and intervention of problem officers and to
assist effective employees to allow them to continue investing positively in their
professional position. Dr. Gilmartin will also discuss, "Survival Techniques for the
Chief Executive."
On Tuesday, January 16, beginning at 9:00 a.m. until noon, Chief Marshall Gage and members of the Technology Committee will present a program entitled, "The
Purchase and Implementation of Technology within a Police Department." Attendees will have an opportunity to discuss contemporary problems and issues at
an "Open Forum" scheduled from 1:30 p.m. - 3:30 p.m. Conference forums will also focus on legislative initiatives slated for 2001 and we
will take a look at the latest in police training, equipment and services at our Exposition.
The cost for the conference is only $175 if paid no later than December 13, 2000. On-site registrations and those made after the cutoff date will be $200. Members of your command staff may also attend at a cost of only $125 if registration is made prior to December 13, 2000. It should be noted that fees for non-members and staff members registering after December 13, 2000, are $150.
Monday, January 15, 2001 - Tuesday, January 16th, 2001. Exhibition times are set around training and food breaks for maximum exposure. Setup will be on Monday, 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. The exhibition area will open at 1:00 p.m. and will be the site of a reception from 5:00 p.m until 7:00 p.m. The exhibit hours for Tuesday are from 7:30 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Our booth space has been sold out for the past four Mid-Winter Expositions. We anticipate that more than 126 vendors will attend...making this the largest Mid-Winter Conference ever! Our vendors have promised some great door prizes. In fact, Scott Smith Harley Davidson will be giving a 2001 Harley Davidson Road King, equipped with strobes and siren, to some lucky police agency.
