NORTH TEXAS REGION
Kathy McReynolds - President
** Update: The North Texas Region has
voted to move the location for its Regular Monthly Meetings beginning July 2011
(see the new address below). **
The North Texas Region is hosting the 2011 Law Enforcement and Security Symposium June 17. We are having an all day affair with a breakfast and speakers in the morning, followed by lunch and a shooting contest. We are very excited about this venue, and hope to have a great deal of participation. As always, all proceeds will be donated to the Fallen Officer�s Fund and participants will receive two hour of Continuing Education.
We had a very good turnout for I-9 paperwork C.E. and a lot of questions were answered and clarifications made. In the future we are planning a C.E. regarding Department of Labor requirements, with some information on what to expect in the unfortunate event of an audit.
The North Texas Region encourages everyone with an interest in the security industry to attend and participate in our monthly meetings. Not only will you learn of any upcoming legislative changes and any proposed bureau changes, we also learn a great deal from each other as we discuss our businesses, our customers and our vendors. It is a great way to network, have fun and get a good
lunch.
Please join us for lunch at
Dunston's Prime Steakhouse, 8526 Harry Hines Boulevard, Dallas, TX 75235,
the third Wednesday of each month at 11:30 am. Cost is $25 or $30, depending on whether C.E.s are being offered. At this time, no credit cards are
accepted.

FORMER DALLAS POLICE CHIEF AND MAYORAL CANDIDATE VISITS NORTH TEXAS REGIONAL MEETING
Former Dallas Police Chief and Mayoral candidate David Kunkle, is a long time friend and supporter of ASSIST and LEAPS. He visited the North Texas regional meeting April 20. He was city manager of Arlington when it was the fastest growing city of 100,000 or more in the nation. As chief, he did away with rancor between citizens and police, defusing racial issues and bringing calm where previously heated complaints had disrupted the city council meetings. Kunkle, known for turning around the Dallas PD, has talked about strengthening neighborhoods using city hall to find ways to promote organic growth of the sort seen in the Bishop Arts District of Oak Cliff.
The Dallas Morning News quoted Kunkle from his April 19 television debate. �Dallas needs to do a better job of becoming a place where people gather together in downtown and in their neighborhoods to celebrate one another and the city.
�When you bring people to Dallas and drive them around, the question you get asked most often is �Where are the people?�
�There are no more easy budget cuts and Dallas must prioritize the services it provides and decide �what business the city should be
in.��
