An organization seeking a more hands-on training. “The idea was created by Eric Matson, then a detective with the Monroe County Police Department. Eric incorporated different agencies and individuals with the same drive and enthusiasm toward more affordable training that would incorporate the hands-on experience. In May of 2001, following several months of organizing, developing by-laws, and assembling instructors, the first conference was held at the Western Wisconsin Technical College. During this conference, the first elections were held and Eric was selected as the first President of the organization.”
