The Canadian Police Knowledge Network (CPKN) presented at the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) Conference held from October 24 to 27 in Orlando, Florida.

CPKN Innovation Advisor, Dominic Mallett alongside Sean O’Brien, Sergeant, Toronto Police Service (TPS), and CPKN National Advisory Committee member, presented From Tools to Talent: How Emerging Technology is Driving Continuous Upskilling in Modern Policing. Their presentation focused on the new challenges introduced by fast changing technology and how police services are adapting for continuous learning and moving away from one-time training applications.

This was the first time CPKN was featured on the IACP conference stage.

“This event was a pivotal moment in positioning CPKN’s reputation as a leader in the industry,” says Krystine Richards, Vice President of Strategic Growth and Engagement, CPKN. “The experience allowed us to highlight our expertise while connecting with new partners and beginning discussions that hold strong potential for future collaboration.”

Building these relationships align with CPKN’s

In addition to Mallett and O’Brien’s presentation, both Richards and Sonia Poulin, President, CPKN, attended to further foster connections across borders.

CPKN’s participation in this international event was supported by funding from Innovation PEI.
