Z man Award
Members we still need nominations for this important award!
Mark Y. Zylawy, "Z-Man", a highly regarded Portland police officer, died January 27, 2008 in a tragic and untimely accident at the age 40.
In memory of Mark and what he stood for in regards to Emergency Vehicle Operations Training, ALERT International has set up the ACHIEVEMENT AWARD. This award is presented on an annual basis for the best innovative idea in Police Driver Training in the past year. We give out this award at our annual conference on the last night at our banquet.
Do you know of a training unit or an individual that has made an impact on EVOC? Please submit your submissions at

Bruce Cabral Memorial Scholarship
We still do not have any nominations for this exceptional Scholarship. ALERT International provides educational scholarships each year to children of ALERT Members. Applicants must:
(1) be a son/daughter whose parent has been a member of
ALERT International for at least the 12 previous months
(United States and Canada),
(2) be a graduating senior
(3) have a scholastic average of at least a B, or 3.0 on a
4.0 scale
(4) plan to attend a college, university, trade or business school.
As many of you know we have a raffle on the last night of the conference to help fund the Bruce Cabral Scholarship. Last year we had many great items including TV's, Yeti Coolers, and many items from Cabela's outdoors. So we have lots of items to raffle off we like to have everyone attending the conference bring something from their agency to contribute to the raffle. Please consider bringing coins, hats, shirts, or anything of interest to a police officer or trainer to bring to the conference. The more items we have the more successful the raffle will be!
Request from Ohio Highway Patrol
Ohio Highway Patrol is looking for any information on what agencies are using for violator vehicles that have and perform PIT as part of their curriculum.
Thank you and stay safe!
