"Message from the Editor"

     Just a reminder for those who have yet to renew their membership dues for 2021, or even for the next three years. As I stated last month, We will be increasing the dues to $40 for a 1-year membership and to $100 for a 3-year membership, beginning on January 1st. Anyone that joins or renews prior to December 31st, will be able to do so at the old cost of $35 for a 1-year and $90 for 3-year memberships.

      Regarding upcoming training for 2021, Covid-19 is still limiting the attendance at the training venues. It has also become even more difficult to reserve a location months in advance. So, with that being said, we are beginning to accept registrations for our: February Seminar - “Gang Trends”, the March Basic “TNT” Class #8, and April Seminar - “Understanding Facial Expressions” all with a limited capacity, along with the possibility that the venue may change. Should the capacity be expanded, we will increase the registration amount. Should the need to change location arise, we will keep it within a few miles of the originally planned venue. There is even the possibility that the actual date may change as it approaches. This is all based on the venues.

    The May “DIAP” Training Seminar is the only one that is guaranteed to be held when and where it is being advertised for. The only change may be an increase in capacity should Covid subside and the restrictions are lifted.

     I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but we are trying our best to plan ahead on providing training and work within the parameters imposed on us by both the State regarding Covid restrictions, as well as the training venues.

      Thank you for your continued support.
