The National Tactical Officers Association (NTOA) has announced that Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr. of Milwaukee County, Wis., will be the keynote speaker at the 2015 Tactical Conference Awards Banquet, to be held Thursday, Sept. 3, 2015. The 32nd Annual Tactical Operations Conference & Trade Show will be held Aug. 30–Sept. 4, 2015 in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Sheriff Clarke is an ardent supporter of the law enforcement community and a dynamic speaker on the issues affecting the profession and the communities that it protects.

In 2013, Sheriff Clarke was recognized with the Sheriff of the Year Award from the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association. He is a frequent guest commentator on law enforcement, Second Amendment and homeland security issues for national news organizations and associations. In early 2015, he testified at the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the confirmation of Loretta Lynch as attorney general, and before the House Judiciary Committee on "Policing Strategies for the 21st Century."
