It'ss been more than 30 years since Seattle last hosted an IAWP training conference -we are very pleased to have the international spotlight on our city once again for this exciting and
valuable week of peer and leadership meetings, said King County Master Police Officer Beth Lavin, IAWP 47th Annual Training Conference Director. While the conference is an outstanding
