Officer World 2012 … Because everyone needs to come home

Feb. 23, 2012

We are burying too many of our brave law enforcement members each year. Police Week was set up by the National Law Enforcement Officer’s Memorial Fund (NLEOMF) to ensure that we properly remember and pay tribute to our fallen brothers and sisters, and now the Law Enforcement Technology, Law Enforcement Product News and Officer.com are partnering with the National Sheriff’s Association (NSA) to launch Officer World at Police Week 2012. Officer World will offer education and an exhibit floor with classes, products and training available to ensure that we prevent the line of duties death that Police Week memorializes.

Officer World is a 2-day conference taking place, Sunday, May 13 and Monday, May 14, during Police Week at the Ronald Reagan Federal Building (6 blocks from Judiciary Square), with education being offered each morning and the opportunity for participants to view more than 300 products and demonstrations in the afternoon.

Education & Training

The National Sheriff’s Association (NSA) has put together over 24 hours of training to be conducted over the two days of Officer World Expo. “We are very excited to be partnering with the NLEOMF and the Cygnus Law Enforcement Group to be providing this vital training to our law enforcement community on the national stage,” says NSA Deputy Executive Director, Chief John Thompson. “I think I speak for everyone involved with both Police Week and Officer World when I say I wish there wasn’t a need for Police Week, but for as long as there is, we will be committed to working to lower the number of deaths in law enforcement.”

The education will be offered in three concurrent tracks: Field Leadership, Training and Tactics and Tactical Emergency Medicine, in four-hour blocks each day. Registrants can sign up for individual sessions or complete tracks.

Cost to Attend

The educational opportunities mentioned above, provided at a cost of $200 at other venues, is being offered complimentary to participants at Officer World. Officer.com Editor-in-Chief Frank Borelli weighs in: “This is about training today’s law enforcement and getting them home safely – period. I was clear that I would not be part of anything that monetizes the sanctity of Police Week. The 23-year law enforcement veteran added, “If we’re not going to do it right, not only won’t I be part of it, I won’t let you do it – and I’m excited to say that we are doing it right.”

The cost of the education will be subsidized by the National Sheriff’s Association, Law Enforcement Technology, Law Enforcement Product News, Officer.com, and the exhibiting participants of Officer World. With a capacity of 400 students for the education sessions, attendees are encouraged to register early.

The tricky part!

As Officer World is being held in a federal building, those law enforcement professionals participating in the education, or just attending the exhibits must pre-register for the event. As we anticipate a good number of law enforcement professionals will be attending with their weapons, these individuals will need to register via the web site, www.officerworld.com, and prior to the show in order to keep their weapons on them.

Go to www.officerworld.com for more information and show details.

‘Being a federal building, we will be required to have a registration for anyone who wants to enter the building with a fire arm,’ according to Law Enforcement Product News publisher Michael George. ‘As we anticipate most law enforcement will be attending with their weapons, we’ve worked to be able to accommodate their attendance but will need them to register via our web site, www.officerworld.com, before the show in order to be able to keep their weapon on them.’
