Local hosts will be the liaison to NASRO for this course. NASRO asks that either the local host or a designated contact be available at all times during the course to assist with troubleshooting, equipment needs, directions, transportation needs and other logistical arrangements.
NASRO also asks that the local host assist in promoting the training at the local and regional level. This can be accomplished through word-of-mouth, regional meetings and other forms of communication to agencies in the area. This course would also be of interest and benefit to school administrators, guidance counselors, facilities staff (especially maintenance), district administrators, architects and facility planners. NASRO will promote the training on the NASRO website and by e-blasting our membership.
The course must be held in a computer laboratory. A high school computer laboratory is NOT an appropriate setting due to the social networking filters in place. Any college level or library would be a fitting host site. The host must downloadtwo programs vital for the flow of the course: The Search Investigative Tool Bar and the software SNAG-IT designed by Techsmith.com, which will be provided by BSC and licensed to the hosting site or two days prior to the class, a free trial may be downloaded to the computer systems.
Local host will need to be available for communications with the course instructor to discuss logistics and properly preparing the computer laboratory.

Breaks and Refreshments
Although NASRO is not in a position to dictate what refreshments the local host provides, we do ask you to consider helping to create an environment that is conducive to adult learning and networking. Attendees are provided breaks at the discretion of the instructors depending on the activity conducted at the time. Participants will need unrestricted access to restrooms in close proximity to the training site. It is NASRO’s suggestion that the local host provides coffee/juice service in the morning and considers water service or soft drinks in the afternoon for the attendees.
Lunch
Lunch will be at the expense of the attendees unless otherwise indicated. Arrangements can be made to eat lunch at the training site or time can be allowed for the attendees to drive off site depending on local services. NASRO will not enter into agreements with local hotels to provide lunch in exchange for room rental. The local host should be able to provide information to out of town guest as to on-site or nearby restaurants and eating establishments. Attendees are provided approximately one hour for lunch. Please provide information on local dining establishments relative to the training site:

Lighting and Temperature
Temperature and lighting in the classroom need to be controlled by the instructors. NASRO courses utilize multiple audio/visual aids, which will require immediate adjustment in lighting levels. Windows need to have shades or blinds and lighting that can be adjusted to various levels is preferred. Instructors need to have access to adjust the temperature of the classroom or have someone on site that is available throughout the duration of the course to accomplish this with minimal interruption to the class.
Host Welcome
NASRO extends the opportunity for the host agency to greet the attendees at the beginning of the course. This could include (but is not limited to) a welcome from your Sheriff, Police Chief, Mayor, Unit Supervisor or Hotel Spokesperson. This is an opportunity for the host to welcome the attendees, make some introductory comments and point out local items of interest and speak about the host agency. Please keep us informed as to who will be speaking so we may adjust the course agenda accordingly and provide appropriate recognition to the guest speakers. The local host may provide door prizes to the attendees in an effort to promote their department or community.
Activities and Maps
The local host is under no obligation to organize extracurricular activities for the attendees. The local host or agency may provide additional opportunities for the attendees such as workout facilities, ride-a-longs, social hours, theme parks, sports events, tours or golf.
