Dear (insert Chief/Sheriff name),

I would like to request permission to travel and attend the 2016 LeadsOnline Leadership Conference May 31st-June 2nd, in Atlanta, GA.

This conference provides a certificate for 16 hours of continuing education and is hailed as the top law enforcement conference in the country. Past agendas have included world-class presentations and speakers such as Lt. Col. Grossman, the BTK Serial Killer Case Study, Statement Analysis by Mark McClish, and the Laci Peterson Case Study.

The 2016 LeadsOnline Leadership Conference is set to deliver the same high-caliber agenda with topics ranging from active shooter case studies, interrogation and interview techniques, property crimes, metal theft investigations, and narcotics investigations. As an added benefit, this conference provides for networking with my peers from law enforcement agencies across the country.

This conference will cover topics within the realm of criminal investigations, and I’m confident that I will bring back valuable knowledge that I can apply in my daily work. The registration fee is only $179, which is easily justified based onthe knowledge gained at only $179. With the variety of topics covered and over 300 law enforcement attendees, the value of the training far outweighs the cost to attend.

Thank you for taking the time to consider my request and how granting approval will further enhance the work we do to protect and serve this community. As a closing, I have included feedback from some who attended the 2015 LeadsOnline Leadership Conference as well as the estimated cost for me to attend this valuable training.

Respectfully,

Feedback from past attendees

"The Conference was educational, entertaining, and truly exceeded my expectations."

“The conference is always a great time and training is valuable.All of the topics presented are things we deal with in our agency, the presenters were very knowledgeable in their field of work. Great job with the selection of the topics covered.”

“The information was invaluable. More than anything though is the networking and friendships that were built over the three days with fellow law enforcement. Having the opportunity to discuss with people from all over the country what issues they are seeing, and what they are doing to combat them is invaluable. I left the conference with new knowledge from the trainings and contact information from law enforcement across the country. That is invaluable to me as a law enforcement officer, and it was made possible by LeadsOnline. Thank you for hosting a wonderful conference. I will see you all in the years to come.”

"All I can say is Well Done! The courses/speakers were on point and interesting. The classes were of appropriate length. Very professional and the LeadsOnline Staff was knowledgeable, articulate, helpful, appreciative and responsive. After 28 years in law enforcement I'm not necessarily a training hater but I truly do have a lot to do and hate to waste my time. This training did provide good information which as a matter of fact I used today and have referred one of our contract cities to your services regarding copper wire theft."

"This was a great conference. I have been to several including the National Law Enforcement Expo. This is one of the best I have been to. Continue with the great work. Your staff was friendly and helpful. I look forward to next year."
