C.H.A.M.P.S. Summer Conference
June 18 @ 11:00 am – June 21 @ 11:30 am
The C.H.A.M.P.S. Summer Conference provides an opportunity for C.H.A.M.P.S. Instructors to receive valuable training and allow for essential networking opportunities for instructors across the state. To maintain an effective teaching edge, C.H.A.M.P.S. instructors must be provided with knowledge on current teaching trends and other vital resources to maintain a positive image and provide young students with a secure learning environment, which fosters good public relations between the public and the Sheriff’s Office. In addition, this three day conference will meet the MOU requirements to send every instructor to a refresher course a minimum of every three years to sustain his/her instructor status in good standing.
