About
the Conferences
The 2003 series is designed
to assist 2001 & 2002 COPS MORE Grantees in achieving
the technology goals outlined in their grant applications.
During the training conference faculty will teach your
agency representatives how to properly plan for, implement
and manage new automated and integrated information and
identification systems, as well as troubleshoot problems
in existing systems and/or implementation processes.
The conferences will assist agencies in effective
procurement practices and analyzing emerging technologies
that have application to law enforcement. COPS Staff will
also conduct sessions on grant compliance and redeployment
issues.
