2009 Spring Conference
The Spring Conference was held April 8 - 10 in Caldwell, Idaho at the College of Idaho. Allan Laird and Jo Ann Gilpin hosted the training in the William Judson Boone Hall. The first day was advanced Clery Act training, including recent updates, presented by Chief Steven Healy from Princeton University. The next two full days was the State and Local Anti-Terrorism Training that was sponsored by a Department of Justice Grant. This is anti-terrorism training focusing on institutions of higher education. Thirty-six WACLEA members were present on Wednesday from Alaska, Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Arizona and then were joined by over 30 members of different local law enforcement departments for the SLATT portion of the conference.
