MEC Missing and Exploited Children Training & Technical Assistance Program The National Criminal Justice Training Center is proud to announce our new grant, the Missing and Exploited Children Training and Technical Assistance (MEC TTA) Program. The working group partners, as shown on this page, conducted a survey aimed to identify the gaps in training currently being offered, and to come up with new innovative modules that could be delivered to a multidisciplinary audience. MEC TTA provides training to state and local law enforcement, prosecutors, forensic interviewers, child advocacy center personnel, social workers, juvenile court personnel and other child serving professionals to strengthen multidisciplinary responses aimed at improving prosecution and prevention of child victimization cases. The goal of MEC TTA is to develop a comprehensive list of specialized training programs delivered at both the national and regional level. TTA will be offered in various formats, including instructor led classroom training, online self-paced courses, webinars and customized training solutions. Multi-disciplinary subject matter experts working in the field of child exploitation investigations, protection and prevention will provide the instruction and lead the training events.

Building A Legacy Register today for the 15th Annual Law Enforcement Administrative Professionals (LEAP) Training Conference scheduled June 17–19, 2015 in Appleton, Wisconsin. Additional conference information is available at www.ncjtc.org/leap. Every year this conference reminds us of the importance of law enforcement administrative professionals and we are excited to again provide a conference aimed specifically at their unique training needs. This conference is planned by a team of law enforcement administrative professionals from around the state who have the pulse of what’s happening in policing today. They carefully look at their agency’s current needs and determine what training would be most beneficial. Past participants and law enforcement executives often provide recommendations for additional training topics.

The past conferences have resulted in strong partnerships and professional relationships within members of municipal, county, state federal and tribal law enforcement agencies. These networks have continued well beyond the conference and continue to grow. This year’s agenda will include relevant issues, such as: • The Civilian’s Role in Active Shooter Situations • Building Community Trust In Light of Recent Media Events • Crucial Conversations • The Administrative Professional as an Island • I Matter • Records Retention • And much more!

It’s a priority of the planning committee to find engaging subject matter expert instructors who will provide education tailored to these professional growth and educational needs. A well-trained administrative professional can make a positive, far-reaching impact within an organization and throughout the community.

The LEAP Conference is a must for any law enforcement administrative professional seeking an opportunity to meet others in the same role, develop critical job skills and enhance your partnership with others in the department and beyond.

LEAP: Making Today’s Dream Tomorrow’s Reality In October 1996, the FBI Milwaukee Office provided a two-day training session for Wisconsin's administrative assistants. The FBI National Academy in Quantico, Virginia provided the entry-level instructor for the training. The networking that occurred at this unique training sparked the beginning of the "LEAP" story. Fox Valley Technical College (FVTC) attended this training and heard the need for more advanced and profession-specific training that was expressed by the participants. Around this same time, law enforcement administrative professionals in the Greater Milwaukee area began meeting on a quarterly basis. Originally this group was known as "Southeastern Wisconsin Law Enforcement Secretaries" (SWLES). As membership grew, participation expanded to include all regions of the state and the name changed to Wisconsin's Law Enforcement Administrative Professionals (LEAP).

“I’ve seen firsthand the benefits of the LEAP Conferences and highly recommend this focused training for any law enforcement administrative assistants. It not only addresses a niche of training not otherwise provided, but it also create relationships that go far beyond the time spent together at the conference.” — James M. Lewis, Retired Chief, Green Bay Police Department, Appleton Police Department, Grand Chute Police Department

“Fox Valley Technical College’s LEAP Conference provides a unique training opportunity for administrative assistants within law enforcement. This has created a strong network while tailoring timely and specific training to address their distinct needs.” — Todd Thomas, Chief, Appleton Police Department

Nominate Your Admin! Each year FVTC and the LEAP Advisory Board recognize a non-sworn administrative professional for their exemplary community outreach, volunteerism, or a significant work project or agency effort based on nominations submitted by Wisconsin Chiefs of Police and Sheriffs.
