We are currently working on a dynamic agenda and have several speakers already committed to our conference this year. Since 2000, when the IAHCN was formally organized, various board members have worked countless volunteer hours each year to bring to you top notch training. Repeatedly, attendees expound on the quality of that training and the enjoyable environment in which it is provided.

This year’s conference will again have several speakers on a variety of negotiator-related topics. We will provide for break-out sessions to allow each attendee to select a few topics that interest them the most. Please give serious consideration to attending. Training dollars represent an investment in your agency and community. This is especially true regarding the critical, life or death incidents law enforcement negotiators frequently find themselves facing.
