Gah! Another great one. I still don't know where I'll be attending since I'm limited to one (budget-wise), but I need to make a decision pdq. *sigh*

I haven't been since they did a limited dry run of this at another conference a few years back. I learned so much.
Since then, he's moved it to a working police academy and expanded it tremendously. I've been wanting to go back and am excited about going. But this one is going to sell out quickly.

I so want to go to this, but with hubs sick I have to wait until the 2014 one. I have his book and it's a fantastic resource. Very clear cut and blunt and covers a lot of stuff I never would have thought about.

Sorry about your sick husband, Oldbrasscat. And sorry you'll miss WPA. It's always nice to meet up with other AWers.

Sounds interesting but we have a prior commitment -- my hubby and I will be reconnecting with our inner beach bums down at the Outer Banks then.
But, for anyone in Virginia, a possible alternative option is to check to see if your police department offers a Citizens Police Academy series. It's a 10-week course that meets one night each week and goes over things like crime scene investigations, crime analysis, SWAT, 911 call centers, and so forth. And since my WIP takes place in Virginia, it should be helpful, even though it isn't specifically tailored to writers.
