International Outlaw Motorcycle Gang Investigators Association

45TH ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL TRAINING INSTITUTE

2019 TRAINING INSTITUTE HIGHLIGHTS• Training from professional instructors with the most up to date

information on combating outlaw motorcycle gangs.

• Sunday afternoon at 2:00 PM – Introductory Outlaw Motorcycle Gang

• The IOMGIA 2018 Training Institute curriculum was developed after careful consideration and review of the most timely information, trends, and constant changes within the OMG world, as well as through the continuous suggestions of those that attend IOMGIA on an annual basis. Although IOMGIA has members that attend regularly from throughout the world, IOMGIA recognizes the importance of a 2019 curriculum that also focuses on the local Northwestern United States OMG issues.

• Instruction will be provided by law enforcement instructors that have developed an expertise in the specialized field of OMGs from around the world.

• Latest information on OMG violence, criminal trends, gang expansion, investigative techniques, officer safety, on the Local, National and International Level.

• Although the 2019 IOMGIA opening ceremonies begins on Monday morning at 8:00 AM, attendance is strongly recommended at the Sunday evening classes. The IOMGIA curriculum has been developed for investigators that work in full time specialized OMG units, as well as to the first line Officers/Troopers/Analysts/Prosecutors/Correctional Investigators/Detectives/Public Information Officers that may only deal with OMG issues as the need arises.

• With the extremely rapid growth of OMGs and the associated criminal activity, often resulting in death and irreparable damage to communities, every Police Chief/Sheriff/Agency Leader should make it a mandatory annual training for a member of their agency. If an agency waits to train for an OMG incident to occur in their community, its to late. Being prepared to proactively address OMG issues is crucial.
