Captain Argatha Gilmore and the members of the Training Committee have planned another phenomenal training program. Monday - Renowned speaker Dr. Dale Henry presents a NEW and amusing session designed to reboot and reset your master computer - the brain - and enable you to work and play smarter in an increasingly ever-changing environment. Dr. Henry will also address ethics and leadership tools for the LE Administrator. Tuesday - Updates for Law Enforcement; Civil Liability Issues with Attorney John Makholm; Open Forum topics include Property Tax and the FPCA's 2008 Legislative Agenda; followed by Mr. Ancil Sparks "Coach for Success" with his presentation: Communication is a Leadership Imperative. Wednesday - FDLE Mandatory Training completes the Four Year Requirement for Safe and Legal Traffic Stops. As in our past Mid-Winter programs, we will discuss contemporary problems and issues during an "Open Forum", facilitated by Captain Gilmore. In addition, we will focus on legislative initiatives slated for 2008, and take a look at the latest in police training, equipment, products and services at our Exposition that will include 143 Vendors.
