Dear (insert Chief/Sheriff name),

I would like to request permissionto travel and attend the 2014 LeadsOnline Leadership Conference May 28-30, in San Antonio, Texas.

This conference provides a certificate for 16 hours of continuing education and is hailed as the top law enforcement conference in the country.Past agendas haveincluded world-class presentations and speakers such as Lt. Col. Grossman, the BTK Serial Killer Case Study, Statement Analysis by Mark McClish, and the Laci Peterson Case Study.

The 2014 LeadsOnline Leadership Conference is set to deliver the same high-caliber agenda with topics ranging from homicide case studies, investigating property crimes, undercover sting operations, criminal tactics of sovereign citizen movements, the use of cellular data and technology in investigations and metal theft investigations.

This conference will cover topics within the realm of criminal investigations, and I’m confident that I willbring back valuable knowledge that I can apply in my daily work.The cost to attend the conference is worth a mere fraction of the knowledge gained at only$139 before January 15, and $179 after.With the variety of topics covered and over 300 law enforcement attendees, the value of the training far outweighs the cost to attend.

Thank you for taking the time to consider my request and how granting approval will further enhance the work we do to protect and serve this city. As a closing, I have included feedback from some who attended the 2013 LeadsOnline Leadership Conference as well as the estimated cost for me the attend this valuable training.

Respectfully,

Feedback from past attendees

"The Conference was educational, entertaining, and truly exceeded my expectations."

"All I can say is Well Done! The courses/speakers were on point and interesting. The classes were of appropriate length. Very professional and the LeadsOnline Staff was knowledgeable, articulate, helpful, appreciative and responsive. After 28 years in law enforcement I'm not necessarily a training hater but I truly do have a lot to do and hate to waste my time. This training did provide good information which as a matter of fact I used today and have referred one of our contract cities to your services regarding copper wire theft."

"This was a great conference. I have been to several including the National Law Enforcement Expo. This is one of the best I have been to. Continue with the great work. Your staff was friendly and helpful. I look forward to next year."
