Badger TraCS users conferences

Badger TraCS users conferences are held annually in the fall for law enforcement agencies that have attended TraCS training and have a TraCS license. The meetings provide current and future TraCS related topics, one-on-one TraCS support and an opportunity for law enforcement to network with other agencies. The conference is a great opportunity to see how other agencies use TraCS and how they deal with certain issues.
