Let me start off by saying that we had a great and successful Conference and Awards/Networking Event Luncheon.

    Without the NJNEOA Board Members, this huge undertaking would not have been possible. In addition, it would not have been possible without the attendees who traveled from multiple states, including Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, New York, California, Connecticut, Michigan, and Canada.

    The NJNEOA appreciates your attendance and hopes that we met your expectations.

    The 2027 Conference has already been scheduled, and speakers are currently being confirmed.

    We were honored to have the President of the Connecticut NEOA, Jason Amato, Executive Director of Nevada NEOA Tim Beck, and retired CNOA SAS Epi Sevillo in attendance.

    Attorney Anthony Bandiero emphasized the importance of Search and Seizure in law enforcement. In my opinion, every law enforcement officer should be well-versed in Search and Seizure and current case law.

    Thank you, Matt Griffin. You made an impact on the attendees and our Board Members — you know exactly what I am talking about.

    We are also thankful to the LMA HIDTA and the NNOAC for assisting us with the conference.

    Numerous training events have been scheduled between June and December 2026, so please visit our website and register for these invaluable trainings.

    Summer is here, and I wish you all a great season, but most importantly, STAY WELL and STAY SAFE.
