MARK YOUR CALENDARS and plan on bringing the whole family! Who couldn't use a getaway during our Wisconsin winter?
Wisconsin State Crime Stoppers (WSCS) is proud to announce its 21st
Annual Meeting and Training Conference. This exciting conference
will be conducted at the Great Wolf Lodge Conference Center in
Baraboo, WI, near the Wisconsin Dells.
The WSCS Board of Directors is planning many diverse and dynamic
topics on Crime Stoppers and law enforcement that will educate
attendees and provide information which can be used immediately
within your community and your local Crime
Stopper program. We are also once again offering a separate Law
Enforcement track of programs on Friday afternoon.
This class will focus on the Tipsoft Hands-on Training and Legal
Issues in Law Enforcement by Judge Richard Carter
(Retired) and Dave Perlman. Of course, we will have many
opportunities to network with your fellow Crime Stoppers
programs throughout the state of Wisconsin through the Regional
Breakout Session and other training sessions.
One thing that we need to stress is that there is an early
deadline on reserving your hotel accommodations at the Great Wolf
Lodge. Due to the high demand at this resort in the wintertime for
the indoor water park, WSCS Conference participants should make
their hotel reservations no later than March 26, 2012! Please see
the registration form for additional details on hotel reservations.
