Responding to Missing & Unidentified Persons National Training Conference
Each year, tens of thousands of people vanish under suspicious circumstances. In the United States there are over 100,000 active missing persons' and unidentified human remains cases each day. Due in part to sheer volume, these cases present a tremendous challenge to state and local law enforcement agencies, and the workload for these agencies, forensic professionals; national, state, and local resource providers, and families of the missing..
This 7th Annual National Training Conference will help participants navigate the complex investigative issues necessary to bring resolution to families of the missing, law enforcement agencies and the communities they serve.
Attend this conference to learn the importance of having an inter-agency protocol to build and implement a strong, viable plan for responding to missing persons' cases.
Keynote Speaker: Carrie McGonigle is the mother of Amber Dubois of Escondido, California. Walking to school on a busy street, how can a girl just disappear? Yet when her stepfather went to school at 4:30 pm, her first hour teacher reported that Amber never made it to class. Because she was 14, of the runaway age, she did not meet the criteria for the Amber Alert system. Ms. McGonigle's story is compelling, and one that gained national attention when it was aired on the CBS show 48 Hours. Attend the conference for more on Carrie and Amber's story, as well as other topics highlighted on the agenda above.

NOTE:
Training tips appearing in this portion of the web site are just that, "Training Tips". Do not take these as meaning that they are the only way to train K9 teams. There are probably as many training techniques, theories, beliefs
and practices used by people as there are dogs. The only thing that is common among them all is the specific goal intended for that particular training session or tip. When problem solving tips appear, they to are just one of many.
You must remember that no two dogs are the same and one method of doing something does not work on every single dog. Training techniques must be flexible from dog to dog. Please keep an open mind when reading these tips. Use what
you can, modify what you want and discard what you wish. Please feel free to contact NAPWDA with your questions or comments. Take Care, Train Hard and STAY SAFE!
