November 14 – Vestavia Hills Civic Center

Der jährliche BlueWatch Summit ist unsere wichtigste Veranstaltung im Jahr. Nationale, lokale und regionale Gastredner kommen zusammen, um ein ganztägiges Programm zusammenzustellen, das Beamte aus der Region aufklären, ermutigen und unterstützen soll. Das Gipfeltreffen ist eine gute Möglichkeit, direkt mit diesen Abteilungen in Kontakt zu treten.
