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 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 event is at a new venue which we are sure you will find to your liking.

The conference will again have several speakers on a variety of negotiator-related topics. This training represents some of the best opportunities you will have to reinforce the skills you have obtained and need to maintain to be the best that you can be during a crisis. 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.
