July 2, 2013 -- HOOVER, Ala. -- The National Association of School Resource Officers (NASRO) has lined up an array of informative and motivational speakers for its first national conference since the tragic school shooting in Newtown, Conn.
NASRO's 23rd annual School Safety Conference takes place July 14 to 19 in Orlando, Fla. and will offer sessions from the FBI, representatives of the Newtown, Conn. police department, and school policing experts and well-known authors and motivational speakers. Keynote presentations include:
Last year, approximately 700 people attended the annual NASRO conference, including school resource officers and other law enforcement officers, other school security and/or safety professionals, school board members, school administrators and others. The association said it expects as many as 800 to attend this year.
The conference offers attendees an opportunity to earn 32 hours of training; visit an exhibit hall with the latest in products, technology and innovations; complete NASRO training courses on-site at no additional charge; and interact with SROs, school administrators, sheriffs and chiefs of police from throughout the country and world. Available training includes NASRO's Basic SRO course, ideal for the many law enforcement officers who are newly assigned to work in schools.
More information about the conference, including a complete agenda and online registration, is available at www.nasro.org/content/2013-nasro-conference.
