Doylestown, Pa. (November 2016) – The National Tactical Officers Association (NTOA), in addition to exhibiting in Booth #10353 at SHOT Show 2017, will once again offer attendees the opportunity to participate in NTOA training seminars. As part of the Law Enforcement Education Program (LEEP), participants will receive a Certificate of Attendance upon completion confirming course participation to document their training. The LEEP program focuses on the most contemporary law enforcement challenges and technology advancements. A one-time registration fee of $25 gives attendees access to all 2017 LEEP courses.
“Our seminars last year proved to be a sold-out success and some of the most highly demanded LEEP sessions available during SHOT Show. We’re excited to return this year with seminars we feel are significant and on-topic for challenges faced by today’s law enforcement officers,” said Mark Lomax, NTOA’s executive director.
The NTOA will be offering the following seminars:
