We are excited to announce after a one-year hiatus, the ASIS Austin Chapter's 5th Law Enforcement Appreciation Event!!  This year we will be combining a few things given we are still working our way back to our "normal" in our communities.  First, we will be having breakfast delivered to several local police agencies in recognition of the hard work to protect our communities across Central Texas.  Second, we will be recognizing an officer of the year and will be shining some recognition on a well-deserving individual for their outstanding contributions.  Finally, we will host a virtual keynote and are excited to be joined by Nick Porter for this year's event.

Here is a brief bio about our featured speaker for this month:
