President’s Message

President's Message

With the end of 2020 in sight, I’ll join many in hoping 2021’s arrival ushers in
better times. One of the many changes we were forced to make was the postponement of our annual national conference which had been planned for Spoakne, WA. For the uninformed, that’s pronounced Spo-Can. It’s the first time in recent memory that NAFTO has missed holding our annual conference and caused the additional issue of addressing our mandatory business meeting. Like other organizations, we resorted to using Zoom to satisfy the bylaws of our non-profit association.

International Law Enforcement Training Summit

International Law Enforcement Training Summit

When the world went into lock-down, agencies and organizations were forced to shut down training. We knew, right then, that something had to be done.

That is why we are joining over 40 of the top instructors in the world to support the 1st Annual International Law Enforcement Training Summit.

The ILET Summit runs from July 27th – 31st, is completely online, and for a limited time you can get a free pass:

Update: National Conference

Update: National Conference

Hello Everyone,

Due to current restrictions across the country, and specifically in Washington, we have rescheduled the June 10-12th 2020 NAFTO National Conference.  Our annual conference will now be held at the Northern Quest Resort in Spokane, Washington, in June of 2021. It was clear to our board that postponing the conference a full 12 months was our best option. When considering restrictions on travel and training and the budgetary and staffing impact the pandemic has had on our agencies, we feel that the summer of 2021 gives all of us the best opportunity to attend. The new conference dates are June 9th, 10th, and 11th  2021.

Field Training During the Covid-19 Pandemic

Field Training During the Covid-19 Pandemic
I hope those reading this have been able to remain healthy through this health crisis.  NAFTO has fielded quite a few questions about how to adapt FTO programs to the new reality created by COVID-19.  We’ve decided that rather than responding to each email one-at a time, we could provide broader help to the FTO community.
 
We also created a email address to channel your input. Please submit your questions, ideas and thoughts to: covid-19@nafto.org.  We will do our best to provide updates as new ideas and concerns develop in this ever-evloving situation.
 
Stay safe and health,
Paul Hasselberger
President – NAFTO Executive Board

Covid-19 Update

Covid-19 Update

Hello Everyone, 

Last March 12th and 13th I had the pleasure to host our NAFTO Management class in Elyria, Ohio. On the morning of the 13th, the Ohio Governor began to enact serious restrictions on public gatherings, schools and business as an early reaction to their state’s growing Covid-19 epidemic. We wrapped up another great class with so many great law enforcement professionals and began our trips home. Little did we know how much our lives would change in just two short weeks.

Due to the fluid nature of what our country, states, and communities are experiencing we are closely monitoring recommendations from various state Department of Health Services and the Centers of Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) to provide the most up-to-date adjustments.
