Hello,

American law enforcement officers, analysts, and national security professionals each have to be prepared for the threats our nation faces, from cyber to violent crime to radicalization. Unfortunately, while pressures are high, training budgets are equally restricted.

The INtelligence & Law Enforcement Training Seminar, or On The INLETS: Violent Crimes & Terrorism Trends was developed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Maryland Coordination & Analysis Center, and InfraGard, and began in Annapolis, MD in 2010.

The goal: provide law enforcement professionals with relevant training by subject matter experts at the most affordable cost possible.

Your company can help provide these professionals with the specialized training they need to protect our communities.

One way is through a tax-deductible contribution to offset event expenses. Another is by donating company items to the INLETS raffle program, which enhances the camaraderie and esprit de corps of attendees.

Seminars are offered annually in Annapolis, MD and New Orleans, LA. Each seminar earns consistently high ratings, exceeding 9 out of 10 with an average of 225 attendees from 100 agencies, 25 companies, from across 20 states.

Agendas include highly regarded and experienced subject matter experts, in addition to featured presenters such as Robert O’Neill, Captain Richard Phillips, and Tony Mendez, among others.

To provide such relevant training at an affordable cost to attendees, we look to partner with those, like you, who provide service lines for our audience. With this letter, you will find information regarding the program and levels of sponsorship for the seminar.

Because we value your partnership, On the INLETS invites only companies with pertinent products and service lines, and only one company per industry. This not only avoids competition between sponsors, but also encourages relationships between the attendees and the company.

Finally, every contribution is 100% tax deductible and is applied directly to minimize the cost of registration, as many attendees pay out of pocket for travel and lodging for this work-related training

Thank you, and we look forward to partnering with you, On the INLETS.
