On May 19, the Suburban Law Enforcement Administrative Professionals held their annual Training Day at the Westmont Police Department. Representatives from approximately 30 suburban Chicago police departments were present. Author Daniel P. Smith was invited to speak at the event as its closing presenter, an invitation he enthusiastically accepted. Following the event, Lisa M. DePatie of the Plainfield Police Department and chair of the Training Day committee penned the above note to Smith.

Thanks to Lisa, Susan Beecham of the Lombard PD, and all of the SLEAP coordinators and attendees for a fantastic event.
