Social Media the Internet and Law Enforcement

In just under three weeks attendees, speakers, sponsors and exhibitors from five countries (U.S., Canada, Netherlands, UK, Australia) will gather in sunny Santa Monica to share best practices and ideas in law enforcement use of social media and the Internet. The second SMILE Conference will occur Jan 10-12 at the RAND Center. Our hosts are Chief Tim Jackman and the men and women of the Santa Monica Police Department. Attendees are invited to a pre-conference reception Sunday night with Chief Jackman. The reception is sponsored by Securitas. Tuesday evening of the conference will feature an open-discussion town-hall-style anything goes session with the speakers.

Registration is still open but we’re close to capacity. Be sure to register soon. There are also discounts available for CPOA, PoliceOne and PERF members, readers of the LAwS Communications newsletter, Law Enforcement 2.0 members (on LinkedIn), California law enforcement and any agency sending a group of SMILErs. Many of the discounts were made possible because of the generous support from Raytheon.

Only three weeks out, some of these organizations represented are:
