Past Conference Materials
Keynote Speaker:
Sasha Larkin
Director of Intelligence and C4 Operations at FIFA World Cup 2026. Retired Assistant Sheriff & Leader in Modern Law Enforcement from The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department
Deputy chief Sasha Larkin, a 22-year veteran of Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department teaches first responders a proactive approach that addresses people before they enter the crime-cycle, while they are in the system, and after they rejoin their community.
She shares the story of how a drug dealer on the run led to the development of one of the most robust community policing efforts in the US.
She also advocates programs that foster community resiliency because she has seen first-hand that pain will either go towards anger or healing. In fact, she and her team developed and implemented a Fusion Liaison Officer program that is now being modeled around the US.
After hearing the program, police executives are heard saying they have to implement these programs in their jurisdictions.
On a personal note, Sasha also teaches yoga classes, in part to decompress from the chaos of life, with her son and twin girls.
