2008 School Based Law Enforcement Conference
The School-Based Law Enforcement (SBLE) Conference is an exceptional opportunity for school administrators, teachers, parents, and school based law enforcement officers to receive training on best practices in school safety and security. The Center for Safe Communities & Schools has designed this conference to focus on timely and relevant topics including: Emergency Operations Planning, Active Shooter Tactical Response, Homeland Security & Your Campus, Gang Awareness/Intervention, Dating Violence, Incident Command System, and Current Drug Trends.
CSCS is pleased to announce the introduction of a new SBLE conference track for higher education law enforcement officers. A topic of particular interest to line officers at colleges and universities will be available at each breakout session. Projected topics include student/staff behavioral risk assessment, FERPA and law enforcement, firearms on campus, faculty training for violent classroom intrusion, and design and implementation of tabletop exercises.
* If you are an officer in a college or university police department, you may be able to receive a special rate. For details, contact Robyn Ferguson at 877.304.2727 or rf04@txstate.edu
