Speaker #1: Former Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis

For 35 years, Ed Davis served his communities as a law enforcement professional, including seven years as the Commissioner of the Boston Police Department. During that time, he oversaw the response to the Boston Marathon bombing and helped lead the manhunt for the perpetrators. During his time leading the Lowell Police Department, between 1994 and 1999, Lowell reduced crime more quickly than any other American city with over 100,000 residents (per the Heritage Foundation).

Today, Ed is here to talk about how technology liked Prepared's can help law enforcement better connect with the communities they serve. He'll lean on his decades of experience while speaking through a modern lens, focusing on the problems of today and the specific ways that law enforcement can build trust.

Speaker(s) #2: Ryan Layne , Guardian Alliance and Chris M. Carden, Prepared

During this session, former police Chief Chris Carden (Regional Sales Manager, South @ Prepared) will join Ryan Layne, CEO of Guardian Alliance Technologies for a candid discussion on the staffing crisis in policing. They'll dive into:

1. What are the issues facing departments in recruitment?
2. What are the issues facing departments in retention?
3. What should be a department’s top future-looking priorities?

Ryan and Chris will weave the impact of technology into each discussion topic, sharing with the audience the specific ways that they can leverage it to combat the staffing crisis.

Speaker #3: Timothy Perry, former Federal Law Enforcement Official

As a former Federal Law Enforcement Official, and current Head of Strategic Initiatives at Prepared, Tim Perry has a unique understanding of the difficulties that Chiefs, Sheriffs, and other law enforcement officials face as they attempt to make a positive impact on policies in their communities.

Specifically, Tim knows how difficult it can be to implement and execute on the right policies, at the right time, with proper funding and local support. During this session, Tim will use his decades of experience to help provide officials with guidance on how they can use their position, their knowledge, and their skillset to drive positive policy change in their communities. He'll discuss:

1. The issues at the forefront of policymakers' minds
2. How Chiefs can focus on achieving policy success
3. How technology can help achieve that success

And much more!
