Do you think that this site would be an asset to CWC for new and want-to-be writers?

Topic: Police procedures and techniques (0 replies, posted in Cop Shop)
Last summer I attended The Writer's Police Academy. My review of this event can be summed up in one word WOW
This is not a how to write seminar, not a conference it's 4 days at an actual state Police Academy. Within an hour of registration opening, all the places are booked. House clearing, shooting range, evidence collection, explosives training, arrest procedures, jail entry procedures, car chase techniques. crime scene photography, more, more and more. Four days are just not enough. You have to chose between four or five activities during the day. The teaching staff are regular police trainers and some invited specialists. I was awed by their professionalism and depth of knowledge.
At $395 USD not cheap plus hotel at $123/night. But well worth the price. Last year I joined Sisters in Crime ( Sisters and Misters) and got a $150 reduction on the seminar fee.
Here is the link to the event (note they are re-working the site this year and have had a few glitches)

Hope to get a group of TNBW mystery, crime writers this year.
