The volunteer law enforcement officer alliance (VLEOA) is a non-profit and non-government organisation established in the United States (US) to promote training and international network amongst international law enforcement and volunteer officers across all uniformed services. Every year, a sponsoring state agrees to organise training workshops for over 150 – 200 law enforcement volunteers around the world. Celebrating their 10 anniversary, the 2019 VLEOA international conference was hosted by the Orange County Sheriff Office (OCSO) at Orlando, Florida.
