It seems we say this after every Institute, but this one was better than the one before!  It may be thyat this one just happens to be the latest and is the freshest on my memory.  The participants were excellent and presentations top notch.  This session's hot topics were voice radio upgrades in response to the upcoming FCC requirement for narrow-banding, information technology management, mini-personal audio/video recorders and their impact on policy and practice.  To read the complete News Release on the Spring Institute click HERE.

Quotes from the May 2010 Institute:

"I applied to attend a technology institute and realized that I just completed a Leadership Seminar.  Absolutely one of the most beneficial trainings I have attended."

"I really did not know what to expect when I applied to attend the Rural Law Enforcement Technology Institute.  This far exceeded my wildest imagination.  Thanks to NIJ and the Small, Rural Tribal and Border Regional Center for making this possible."

"It is a refreshing experience to attend a conference that is handled so professionally, managed to keep everyone focused and I am leaving here with a wealth of resources that I can use to help solve issues at my agency."
