| If you are a Tactical Dispatcher with any law enforcement agency, or if your agency is looking to implement a Tactical Dispatch program, it is recommended that you join CTDA in order to take advantage of our Members Only benefits, such as: - Free admission to CTDA sponsored regional training in your area. Non-members pay $10 per event. - Timely notification of CTDA sponsored events. - A great way to meet and network with other Tactical Dispatchers, from agencies both large and small, to see what works for them and what hasn't worked in the past. This is especially useful to agencies looking into implementing a team. A lot of the research/legwork has already been done, tap into it! - Meet equipment vendors and evaluate the latest tools suitable for your department or agency. - Access to our 'Outreach Team' - a group of Tactical Dispatchers who will work with you on an individual basis and custom tailor a presentation to your management, whether it be Communications or Police Management. We come to you and set up the presentation to let your commanders see first hand how Tactical Dispatchers could benefit your department. - Discounts on CTDA Training Conference Registration pricing |
