WE LOVE OUR MEMBERS! 

This conference marks our 15th anniversary of the Volunteer Law Enforcement Officer Alliance! We are nearly sold out for this year's incredible venue, but members can still register for $199, and $299 for non-members. (Members must log in to get the member rate!)

PLEASE NOTE: The conference resort hotel is now taking reservations on a first-come, first-serve basis.  Once our room block has been sold out, there may not be any more rooms available.  To receive our conference room rate, you must make your VLEOA Conference Registration FIRST.  Please do not wait to make your conference reservation! (VLEOA room rates will not be honored through third party booking sites or IHG or airline points, etc...)

PLEASE NOTE: All conference registrations are final. VLEOA is not responsible for costs incurred by attendees or the inability to travel for any reason, including failure to obtain a passport for travel. Travel insurance is recommended.

HOTEL REGISTRATION

Conference Hotel:

Our conference resort is situated on 6.5 acres of prime oceanfront real estate. This resort offers guests the ultimate in comfort, relaxation, and recreation. The resort's all-suite accommodations offer stunning ocean, pool or garden views from your large private balcony or patio.

We have secured a special conference rate at this resort, please use the link below to register at the hotel.

Register for the conference hotel: HERE

Some notes about our stay at this hotel:

  • Guests can book additional nights on either side of the room block nights, subject to availability, at the same conference room rate, between the dates of November 1 and November 10, 2024.

  • Please be sure to read and understand the hotel's booking and cancellation policy.

  • Please note that the hotel Service Fee/Tax is 38% and that there is a 3% Credit Card Transaction fee. A one night deposit is due upon booking and the remaining amount is due 15 days before their check in date.

WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you do not make any air reservations until your hotel booking is confirmed. A valid Passport for travel is required to enter the Grand Cayman Islands.


Follow the steps below to register:

  • Register for the conference by clicking on the conference registration link: https://vleoa.wildapricot.org/event-5720638

  • Use the web link to register for the hotel.

  • Book your flights or other travel as necessary.

  • Please note, we are working on conference transportation to and from the airport, but at this time, this is NOT guaranteed.  The Grand Cayman Islands do not utilize Uber or similar services, but taxis are available. A taxi from the airport to the resort is estimated to be approximately $60.

 

SINGLE OCCUPANCY NOTE: There is a current problem with the registration in that it prices a minimum of double occupancy, even if you are trying to book a single room. VLEOA is in contact with IHG to see how we can correct this, in the meantime any guest booking a room for single occupancy only can contact the hotel directly to make the correct-priced booking at reservations@grandcaymanian.com, or 1-855-722-9626.

 

CONFERENCE REGISTRATION

Member Registration:

  • Members must log in to get the $199 member rate for registration.


Non-Member Registration:
(Please note that non-members will receive a three-year membership as part of the conference registration costs.  However, VLEOA reserves the right to deny membership and conference attendance to anyone who does not meet our membership requirements.  Non-members must register by September 30, 2024 for the conference at the latest):

  • Conference registration for non-members is $299.


Non-members will register for the conference and for membership at the same time.  Non-members who intend on registering for the conference MUST meet one of the following criteria, OR be an invited guest of the VLEOA or host organization, a conference presenter, or an academic (with credentials of such):

  • Currently serving volunteer or full-time law enforcement officer/member in good standing with their respective organization.

  • Retired (not resigned) in good standing from a volunteer or full-time law enforcement role and be able to provide evidence of official retired status.

If a non-member submits conference registration and cannot be verified as a member or as a guest, the conference registration will be refunded and the applicant will be unable to attend the conference.

Important information for non-members: in order to speed up the processing of your membership we ask that all non-members who register for the conference send an email to harold.wax@policereserve.org with a copy of your agency credentials (or a contact person-with email address and phone number at your agency if you are not authorized to send those copies) as soon as you register. If you are a conference presenter or academic wishing to attend the conference, please register as a non-member and send an email to Harold Wax (email above) indicating your status for conference registration. Conference presenters and academics who are invited to attend the conference will pay the non-member conference rate but cannot receive membership in VLEOA unless they meet membership criteria.  Registration for non-members closes on September 30, 2024, in order to have time to process.

You can review our refund policy here: https://vleoa.wildapricot.org/EventRefundPolicy/
