About
The National Tactical Officers Association organizes this gathering for police, emergency responders and negotiators who handle crisis situations. Sessions with expert speakers and hands-on workshops sit alongside networking, and the education is meant to build stronger leadership and performance when incidents turn critical. A national contest for negotiation teams takes place the day before the main program begins, and a trade show runs alongside it.

The conference reports over 700 law enforcement professionals.
It is held at Gila River Resort and Casino at Wild Horse Pass in Chandler, Arizona.
The full conference fee is $324 for members and $374 for non-members.
Law enforcement, emergency response, and crisis negotiations professionals attend.
It is most useful for working crisis negotiators and tactical or emergency response personnel, since the program combines workshops and speakers with a preceding National Negotiator's Challenge, where negotiation teams compete, and a trade show drawing 700+ law enforcement professionals. At $324 for registration it is reasonably priced for a specialist training event, but people outside law enforcement and public safety would find little relevant content, and vendors not selling to that market would get little from the exhibitor tables.
Attendees at law enforcement training conferences usually wear business casual or department polos and tactical-style trousers, with uniforms or agency logo wear common for the opening ceremony and awards. A desert resort setting in Arizona in late October means warm days, so light layers work.
