We think the 2023 Fall Conference was a success. Here are a few comments from the evaluations.
"Great conference. All presenters were spot on with current information and kept everyone engaged."
Evaluation comment on presenter Josh Bitsko: "Exceptional presentation from one who was there, supported by video's, radio transcripts and personal impact. Discussed personal challenges faced to help others recognize when someone needs help. Also, on tactical side, this could and likely will occur somewhere else, despite the size of community. Good info on what worked and didn't, changes their dept. made for the future that we can all benefit from."
Evaluation comment on presenters Deputy Chief Treven Upkes and Lt. Matt Gill on ICAT: This was new info for me, and presented well by both instructors. It will be something we follow up and look seriously at building into our training programs.
