 The NLC PROTECTS National Seminar was a great success,
drawing 301 law enforcement officers, prosecutors, and child advocates to Orlando from January
20-22, 2009. Representing 37 states, the
attendees had sixty breakout sessions to choose from during the free training.
At the conclusion of the seminar, attendees provided anonymous feedback concerning each presentation and the seminar as a whole. One respondent commented that "the speakers were wonderful! They made the subject matter very understandable without dumbing it down." Others reported that the seminar as a whole was "excellent...with a wide range of courses and topics" and provided a "great opportunity to network and share information." Ninety-two percent of attendees reported that the seminar met or exceeded their expectations, with 97% indicating that they would be interested in attending another similar training. The NLC PROTECTS National Seminar was the 15th in a series of training programs funded by the U.S. Department of Justice. To date, the NLC has trained nearly 1,500 law enforcement professionals around the country. Concurrent with the National Seminar, The Child Defenders' Technology Expo was also a triumph. 14 companies and organizations displayed their tools and solutions to address child sexual exploitation. The NLC thanks the following companies for their support of the Expo: Watch our website for an announcement for our next event in Phoenix, Arizona this spring. |
