Investigative Roundtable On Organized Crime

History
The Investigative Roundtable on Organized Crime is a multi-jurisdictional law enforcement group, which has been in existence for 23 years. Every September, the Investigative Roundtable, in cooperation with the Virginia State Police, has held an Organized Crime conference in Virginia Beach.

The conference is attended by law enforcement officers and intelligence analysts from across the United States and Canada. Conference programs are devoted to Organized Crime in its various forms.

The Investigative Roundtable was initially comprised of members of the Pennsylvania State Crime Commission, who created a Board to oversee the conference. Several years ago, the members stepped away from active involvement and turned the conference over to representatives from Virginia law enforcement with full endorsement and support. To that end, the Executive Committee was formed and now administers the conference. The Committee consists of representatives from the Virginia State Police, the Prince George County Police Department, MAGLOCLEN and ROCIC.

The Investigative Roundtable on Organized Crime Conference has been the mainstay of local, state and federal law enforcement personnel for 23 years. It continues that tradition by continuing to offer diverse training programs.

The 24th Annual Investigative Roundtable on Organized Crime Conference is set for September 7-11, 2008, at the Virginia Beach Resort Hotel & Conference Center. Call (800) 468-2722 or (757) 481-9000 to make your reservation.
