Dear Businessperson:

 

In August of 2007, Madison will be the site of the Wisconsin Chief’s of Police Association conference marking the Association’s 100th Year.  This 100th annual WCPA conference will bring Police Executives and their spouses from all over Wisconsin to the Monona Terrace Convention Center.

 

Police Chiefs will attend training seminars and see the sights of Madison. Some will be visiting Madison for the first time.  The Dane County Chiefs of Police Association, representing the top law enforcement executives from over 40 local police agencies, is serving as the host of this conference and we hope to make this an outstanding and memorable convention.

 

It is important for Chiefs of Police to meet to discuss the issues facing Wisconsin law enforcement.  Our crime rate is the lowest in then nation but there is more to do. We face the challenges of cyber crime and our ability to use technology for the greatest benefit. Police Chiefs continue to develop and enhance our methods of community policing and so to have the opportunity to share information on the best police practices is vital.  All of Wisconsin communities benefit when networking and partnerships are developed among law enforcement leaders.

 

To help with the endeavor, we are asking Dane County businesses to assist us with corporate donations to offset the costs of putting on such a conference at Monona Terrace.  Because Madison is a higher cost area of the state, we must secure additional funding beyond the registration fees.

 

Donations will be used for various training expenses, or as door prizes to be given at the end of the conference.  Donors will be given credit in our printed program and in addition, may purchase business-card size, camera-ready advertisements to be placed in the program for $100.  If you feel you can help us, please contact me or the Chief of Police in your municipality.

 

 

Sincerely,
