Who will attend?
We expect a record number of vendors and students to attend our 26th annual conference and vendor show in Tulsa. Our conference draws sworn police officers representing the entire law enforcement spectrum from commanders to SWAT, EOD, long rifle, TEMS, patrol and crisis negotiators.
NTOA conference attendees are highly committed to keeping up with the very latest in training and equipment. This elite group of law enforcement professionals count on NTOA to provide the highest quality training and most progressive equipment vendors each year. NTOA invites you to be part of this preferred group of vendors we invite to Tulsa in 2009.

Body Armor/Personal
Clothing/Footwear
Communications
Personal Equipment WMD
Protection

Tactical and TEMS Gear
Training
Vehicles/Vehicle Accessories
Weapons and Ammunition
What returning vendors say about NTOA’s annual vendor show...
Tactical Electronics’ driving goal is to provide the best possible support to those in the tactical operations community. One of the best ways to do that is through our participation with the NTOA. Having been a vendor at the NTOA conference for nearly 10 years, I have watched it grow into a mature and sophisticated forum for the exchange of ideas with law enforcement officers.
This conference simply has no comparative rival. I am certain that the 2009 NTOA Conference will continue to deliver the results we seek and an impressive growth above and beyond years past.
Ben Kimbro
Executive Vice-President
Tactical Electronics
The annual conference and show is one of the best shows we attend. The quality of the training offered brings the very best operators from across the country to the conference and they spend time on the show floor looking for new products to further help them perform their jobs. The contacts we make are great!
