As you know, the LECC was established in 1981 in all of the 94 U.S. Attorney's Offices by order of the U.S. Attorney General to provide a networking focus for law enforcement agencies committed to the ideal of cooperation and coordination at all levels of local, state and federal law enforcement. We are very excited that this year s conference trainings are concentrated on the essential law enforcement techniques and tools related to Gang Investigations and Social Media. Our line-up will include trainings by Det. Wayne Caffey of the Los Angeles (CA) Police Department, Christine Gribble, Program Analyst with ATF & E, and Brian Regli, CEO of Drakontas Corporation. More details on the agenda are included in this packet. Speaker bios will be posted on AlaCOP.gov as the agenda is finalized. Due to unforeseen changes and complications with the planning of governmental conferences, this year we must have 110 individuals registered to attend the conference by JULY 11 th or the conference may be cancelled. It is our hope that we will not have to cancel the conference, as this would greatly affect our mission to facilitate and promote coordination, communication and cooperation among federal, state and local law enforcement agencies throughout Alabama by providing resources, information, training and technical assistance. In the event of a cancellation, all registration payments received by July 11 th (less PayPal fees if paid by credit card) will be refunded.
