President’s Message – February 2018

By Cassie Johnson, IALEP Southwest Chapter President

2017 was a year of shared learning with topics like Intelligence-based prosecution, opioid and Narcan response in valley cities, policy development in PowerDMS, Clery disclosure and research methods and statistics in criminal justice. Quite a few members were also able to attend the annual conference in San Diego, CA and we are pleased that multiple members received their certification and were acknowledged at the award banquet. Congratulations to you all! 2018 we are looking at bringing additional training opportunities to our membership that are rooted in the core responsibilities of our jobs as planners. In addition, we are hoping to share our career field with local university students to increase engagement. We hope to see all of you in our first meeting of 2018 which is right around the corner!

The Chapter said goodbye to our previous Vice President Tim Gomez. We are very thankful for his participation and leadership with the Southwest Chapter the last few years. With his departure we would like to welcome Michael Hakey from the Department of Public Safety as the Vice President in 2018. We are thrilled to have you join us as we look to bring exciting training opportunities to the membership over the course of this year.
