WELCOME FROM CHIEF BOYD
Dear CPCA Members:
Welcome to the Spring 2014 edition of our magazine, California Police Chief.
This is the second edition of our rebranded and reengineered magazine
designed to keep you up-to-date on relevant, innovative programs as well as
association activities. Our magazine highlights some of the great successes our
members have had with new programs that can serve to inspire other agencies.
Cal Chiefs is in the middle of a challenging legislative year. We are sponsoring
four bills and have several other legislative priorities. Fortunately, we have a
very strong Legislative Team including an involved Legislative Committee that
continues to stay well-engaged at the Capitol. Highlights of our recent efforts
are included in our “Cal Chiefs at the Capitol” column.
Our 37th Annual Training Symposium in Monterey was very successful and
featured some outstanding speakers and workshops; a summary is included in
this issue. Also featured in this edition are articles by our Strategic Partners and
a listing of our partners and Corporate Circle Members.
We hope you enjoy this second issue of our newly revised magazine and
encourage you to follow Cal Chiefs on Facebook and Twitter; your feedback is
always welcome.
Thank you for the critical role you play in making Cal Chiefs the voice of and
resource of choice for California’s municipal police chiefs.
Sincerely,
Christopher W. Boyd, President
California Police Chiefs Association
