I would like to take a few moments of your time to thank all of the participants for attending the 5^th Annual Kentucky Tactical Officers Association 2011 Conference. I realize that these are tough times for Law Enforcement and want to express gratitude for you taking time from your busy schedules to attend the conference. I am certain that this training gave you some wisdom that you will be able to apply in your tactical element as well as your career in law enforcement.

I would especially like to thank the University of Kentucky Police Department for their assistance in the use of Commonwealth Stadium, for the KTOA Top SWAT Cop Competition and assistance with the 5K run. Of course I would also like to thank all of our sponsors, vendors, presenters, Clarion Hotel and the KTOA Board. I personally would like to thank Lieutenant Rodney Sherrod (Our Founder) for all of his vision, leadership and help.

Lastly I want every KTOA member to realize that you are what make the KTOA a success. This association is yours, please stay involved and don’t hesitate to contact your regional representative or anyone on the board. Again thank you for another successful conference and I am looking forward to seeing everyone in Park City, KY on October 10-12, 2011 for the KTOA Team Competition.

Your President,
Robert Richardson
