AMERICAN ACADEMY FOR PROFESSIONAL LAW ENFORCEMENT

     The annual September AAPLE Golf Outing at the Village Club at Lake Success was a big hit. Photos of the day’s event are posted on our website at www.aaple.org .  I want to thank everyone who attended, and I especially want to thank our sponsors for their generous support.  

     Please note the change in location for this month’s luncheon.  Due to the financial state of affairs, the American Stock Exchange cannot accommodate us at this time.

     Our November luncheon guest speaker will be Brian Parr, Special Agent in Charge of the United States Secret Service, New York Field Office. A career civil servant with the U.S. Secret Service, SAIC Parr is responsible for overseeing the agency’s investigative and protective activities in the five boroughs of NYC, Long Island, six counties in the southern region of NYS, and the State of Connecticut. Prior to his appointment to the U.S. Secret Service, SAIC Parr served as a Deputy United States Marshal in the Eastern District of New York, where his assignment included fugitive investigations and witness protection.  He also served in U.S. Secret Services’ Intelligence Division; the Office of Congressional Affairs; as a member of the Joint Terrorism Task Force in New York City; as staff assistant to Senator Jon Kyl, Chairman of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Terrorism; and as an Assistant to the Special Agent in Charge of the Presidential Protective Division.

Annual AAPLE Seminar:

     According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Human Trafficking is a thriving international business that generates approximately $9 billion in profits every year.  Up to two million people are trafficked yearly, with 15,000 -18,000 trafficked in the United States alone.  How can the law enforcement community help in the war against these crimes?  Join us at this year’s AAPLE Seminar for a presentation on Human Trafficking, by members of the NYPD’s Organized Crime Control Bureau.  It will prove to be an enlightening session.

     The annual AAPLE Seminar will be held on November 24, 2008, at 6:00 pm, in the Law Office of Cadwalader, Wickersham and Taft, located at One World Financial Center, 38^th floor conference room.  Due to the popularity of this event, I recommend you pre-register by calling 888-893-4332, or sending an email to breilly@aaple.org.

FUTURE EVENTS:

     The post holiday cocktail party will be held in January 2009.  The date and location will be announced.
