http://www.opsweb.org/?page=futureprograms i have always found mid year meeting a good place to get re-cert credits. last year's was in Seattle, this year in Chapel Hill. This year's annual meeting is in Chicago, a relatively central location. I think you could also find local OPS-approved courses, someone correct me if i am wrong ==> "Of the fifteen required hours, a minimum of five (5 CEC’s) MUST be earned by attending official OPS or OPS approved courses, online resources or workshops." the website has a search function for such courses: http://www.opsweb.org/?page=Oppforcecs though i havent gotten any results yet (perhaps simply being able to search by state would be beneficial) anyway, i think you've got options... -sandor On Fri, Mar 23, 2012 at 10:57 AM, ben serar <serarphoto@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi, A question for the powers that be.
