On August 14th, 2008 at 8:00 a.m. in the Sonoma County Sherriff’s Office Training Room, California NAFTO is back in business. In 1991 former Sgt. Mickey Bennett with the Long Beach California Police Department was instrumental in starting NAFTO. From there the association spread across the country, but in the last 17 years the California Chapter died away. NAFTO has flourished in many states like Arizona, Washington, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Indiana but with California missing from the mix it just seemed like a part of our history was gone. Now, thanks to Sgt. Kimber Williams of the Sonoma County Sherriff’s Department California is back in business. Mark your calendars and make arraignments to attend this historic re-launch of our founding state chapter. You can find the flyer here and the registration form here. |
