For those of you who travelled to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan in 2006 for the IAWP Annual Training Conference you may recall two key figures. Inspector Shelley Ballard of the Saskatoon Police Service was Co-Director with Staff Sergeant Sue Grant. Both have kept busy with life, family and careers over the past six years.
Inspector Shelley Ballard is about to retire from the SPS. In fact I think she may already be started on her adventure in life. I am sure her the SPS will miss her pleasant demeanour and strong work ethic. Congratulations and best of luck in your next phase of life Shelley!
Staff Sergeant Sue Grant is sticking around the SPS and is keeping busy these days with her work on the new SPS Headquarters. The Globe and Mail recently featured this project in a news article. I invite you to take a look for yourself at some of the features of this new facility by following the link: http://www.police.saskatoon.sk.ca/index.php?loc=messages/newhq.php

For anyone still considering a trip...there is still time to register for the 50th Annual IAWP Training Conference in St. John's, Newfoundland. If you are coming, then be sure to attend the IAWP 2014 Hospitality Night on Tuesday, September 11th at O'Reilly's Pub on George Street.
