Located in the  Sheraton Grand Chicago, registrants can attend one of two sessions offered in the morning or afternoon with Eric Arnold, Program Director of School and Campus Safety at the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board Executive Institute.

Planning for When it Happens: School Safety is a Friday afternoon session located in the Hyatt East building of the Hyatt Regency Chicago.
