We are excited to see you all for the annual Women of Law Enforcement Conference in just a few short weeks! After a year away, we are eager to welcome everyone back for this outstanding training event. With many traveling from across the US, we wanted to provide some updates regarding safety protocols and COVID-19.
As we bring the group back together, we have a few recommendations regarding health and safety protocols and increased sanitation processes. While masks are not mandated throughout the conference, our staff will have masks available for those who wish to wear one. Please see a member of our team should you request one. We will also have thermometers, hand sanitizer, and sanitizing wipes available as well. We've asked instructors and staff to sanitize surface areas after use and to continue rigorous personal hygiene protocols that we've become so familiar with over the last year.
Our team is ready and eager to see you all for what we are sure will be one of our best events to date! Please reach out to our team should you have any additional questions we can help answer.
While we understand the current environment is ever changing, we respectfully ask that all refund requests be made no later than 2 weeks prior to the conference. The deadline to cancel your registration and receive a full refund is Tuesday, September 7. Unfortunately, refund requests made after this date cannot be accommodated.
Should it become necessary for the event to be canceled or postponed, all paid registrations will be rolled to the new date.

Chief of Police (ret.)
Tempe, AZ Police
A California native, Chief Moir has over 30 years of local police practice; with over a decade as a Chief of Police. Chief Moir is known as an executive who is calm in chaos, enthusiastic about the profession of policing and focused on positively influencing the culture and climate of the organizations she leads through strategy and policy work to better serve the employees and community. She was the Chief of the El Cerrito California Police Department from 2010 until her appointment as the Police Chief in Tempe, Arizona. She spent most of her early career with the Sacramento Police Department where she served in every division of the department and she was the Incident Commander on hundreds of planned and spontaneous events, a trainer in several policing subjects, and a member of the Sacramento Police Honor Guard. Notably, she completed rigorous and humbling training with the US Army Old Guard at Fort Myer, VA, and Arlington National Cemetery.
In retirement, she is the Principal of the Macrae Group specializing in public safety advising and consulting, the chair of the Community Policing Committee of the International Association of Chiefs of Police, an advisor for WRAP Technologies, a member of the Law Enforcement Immigration Task Force, and is an Executive Fellow for the Police Foundation.

Chief Moir is in demand as a speaker and in 2019, Chief Moir participated in TEDx SoMa’s Modern Campfire series, where she discussed the complexity of modern-day policing and the importance of practicing mindfulness in the profession. During the talk, Chief Moir spoke about the impact of mindfulness on her leadership, her employees, and the promise that the practices are showing for de-escalation, sound decision making, humanity, and resilience.
Chief Moir holds a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice from California State University, Sacramento, a Master of Arts in Organizational Management, and a Master of Science degree from the Naval Postgraduate School - Center for Homeland Defense and Security.

History
Everything starts with an idea, and Women of Law Enforcement is no exception. In 2013, Chief Jimmy Perdue, of the North Richland Hills (TX) Police Department, came up with the idea of empowering women in the field of policing through an annual conference. He wanted to provide them with a strong network of leaders that could build up others, mentor, and train females in the many aspects of law enforcement. He took this idea to then Lieutenant, Carrie White, to bring this vision to life. As a natural-born mentor, Carrie knew exactly what to do and surrounded herself with a robust board of leaders to help her breathe life into the newly formed organization. Chief Perdue wanted to ensure Carrie was prepared for the arduous task of developing a large scale conference. Carrie attended the IACP Women's Leadership Institute for the rigorous course that works to develop female leaders of law enforcement.
In 2014, after many meetings and very intentional planning, the first Women of Law Enforcement Conference was held. Year one welcomed 110 women of policing from across the nation to the Southlake Training Center. Fast forward to where the organization is now, and it continues to outgrow venues with more massive crowds, as the demand for quality training specifically designed for women grows.
The Executive leadership of the Women of Law Enforcement brings many years of experience and varying ranks to the team. The organization continues to be led by Assistant Chief Carrie White. It is now expanding into specialized groups to assist the executive team with developing and planning for an even bigger and better conference than the year before.
