00:00:00.479 --> 00:00:02.019
 The New York State Association of Chiefs

00:00:02.039 --> 00:00:03.899
  of Police provides professional development,

00:00:04.158 --> 00:00:05.559
  advocacy, and support for

00:00:05.639 --> 00:00:07.158
  law enforcement leaders in New York

00:00:07.219 --> 00:00:09.319
  State. Founded in 1901,

00:00:09.460 --> 00:00:11.179
  today, the association represents

00:00:11.319 --> 00:00:13.060
  over 900 members working

00:00:13.099 --> 00:00:14.739
  to shape the future of policing.

00:00:15.359 --> 00:00:16.600
  Emphasizing education

00:00:16.658 --> 00:00:18.359
  and training, we offer programs like

00:00:18.420 --> 00:00:19.719
  law enforcement executive

00:00:19.739 --> 00:00:21.539
  development, new issue updates,

00:00:21.778 --> 00:00:23.399
  and collaborative training initiatives.

00:00:23.879 --> 00:00:25.759
  I've been a chief for, uh, about

00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:27.318
  four and a half years. I've been a member of

00:00:27.339 --> 00:00:28.818
  the association for the same amount of

00:00:28.879 --> 00:00:30.678
  time. The greatest thing that I get out of the

00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:32.079
  association is the camaraderie

00:00:32.098 --> 00:00:33.439
  and the networking and

00:00:33.478 --> 00:00:35.219
  the ability to, uh, lean on my,

00:00:35.279 --> 00:00:36.719
  my fellow chiefs for whatever

00:00:36.779 --> 00:00:38.399
  challenges that I face as a leader.

00:00:38.939 --> 00:00:40.259
  For me, personally,

00:00:40.340 --> 00:00:42.340
  I've been a member since 2001.

00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:44.020
  I've attended every conference

00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:45.700
  since that year. The amount of

00:00:45.779 --> 00:00:47.219
  training that we receive

00:00:47.298 --> 00:00:49.319
  here, the impactfulness

00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:51.259
  that it has, is second to none.

00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:53.579
  I have to tell you, this organization,

00:00:53.658 --> 00:00:55.118
  New York State Association of

00:00:55.179 --> 00:00:56.459
  Chiefs of Police, have

00:00:56.579 --> 00:00:58.079
  had my back for the whole two

00:00:58.098 --> 00:01:00.020
  and a half years, and they'll have your back

00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:01.558
  for your entire tenure

00:01:01.618 --> 00:01:03.840
  as chief. We engage with local,

00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:05.540
  state, and federal agencies

00:01:05.698 --> 00:01:07.218
  to shape laws and policies

00:01:07.299 --> 00:01:08.599
  impacting law enforcement

00:01:08.659 --> 00:01:10.918
  and public safety. Our specialized

00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:12.359
  committees focus on unique

00:01:12.459 --> 00:01:13.778
  areas of interest, such

00:01:13.859 --> 00:01:15.478
  as our traffic safety committee,

00:01:15.540 --> 00:01:17.278
  which works to reduce road-related

00:01:17.338 --> 00:01:18.778
  incidents. Every day,

00:01:18.938 --> 00:01:20.618
  we seek to develop more efficient

00:01:20.659 --> 00:01:22.459
  and effective law enforcement.

00:01:22.540 --> 00:01:24.078
  Join us at the New York State

00:01:24.099 --> 00:01:29.799
  Association of Chiefs

00:01:29.819 --> 00:01:29.998
  of Police.
