Happenings here and around the world August 2013

- Region 10 Member, Ellen Kirschman, author of "I Love A Cop" has a new book out called "Burying Ben" , a fictional crime novel.  It got excellent reviews. Try and support one of our region members.

- China sending 140 riot policewomen to Liberia - not sure why but just thought I would mention it. 

- Women police officers in Delhi claim they are overworked and underpaid ( welcome to our world :-))
There is a shortage of women officers to work on cases of crimes against women, which are piling up and those on the job are struggling to make a difference.

- Greensboro police officer Karen Walters settled her gender discrimination lawsuit against the city for $180,000 and a promotion to Captain.  Congrats to her.

- National Black Police Association is in the middle of their National Training Conference in Miami, FL. The Western Region will hold their regional training conference in Burlingame CA.  Nov 14-17, 2013.  Let me know if you would like more info.

Happy Summer Vacation to Everyone

I am really excited about my upcoming trip to South Africa.   Region 10 Members Sita Singh, Barbara Jean Curry and I are going to take a 3 week driving safari around South Africa.  We are totally excited and looking forward to our adventures. But first we will have the excitement of the IAWP Training Conference.  No will try and put photos on FB and perhaps here on the Blog.

I will be submitting a request at the Fall Board Meeting that Regions 9&10 host the 2014 Early Board Meeting. Tamia Dow has been working hard to secure a hotel for the conference.  It is set for the weekend of March 22-24,2014. If the Board decides to let us host the Board Meeting it will happen on March 21-23 and the Regional Conference will be on March 24&25, 2014.  Otherwise the Regional Conference will be the weekend dates.  Location for the conference is Las Vegas NV.... VIVA Las Vegas and we can celebrate my birthdate. Yahoo!!!!   I will keep you posted.

If anyone is interested in helping with the conference please let me know. I already have a few names.  We will need sponsors, vendors and help registering people.
