PERF Town Hall Meeting in Collaboration with IACP
Saturday, October 24 1:30–5:00 p.m.
Hilton Orlando, 6001 Destination Pkwy, Orlando, FL
Orange Ballroom D – Lower Level

At this lively, unscripted open forum, we tackle the most pressing issues facing the policing profession today. The discussion is active and engaging, and at times audience members can be passionate with their comments. You are encouraged to participate and share your insights so everyone gets a national perspective on a number of issues such as artificial Intelligence, drones as first responders, license plate readers, recruitment and retention, real-time crime centers, training & development, officer wellness and other pressing topics that are shaping the modern face of policing.  

Individuals registered for the IACP conference and those who are not will be able to access the PERF Town Hall at the Hilton Orlando.  If you are not planning to register for the IACP Conference but want to attend the PERF Town Hall, please contact Sydney Eischens at [email protected] or 202-454-8322 so she can add you to our attendee list.
