That was the scene at the International Association of Police Chiefs Conference, which came to town Saturday and wraps up today. The conference featured a Technology and Information Sharing track among its more than a dozen tracks and showcased more than 750 exhibits with the latest in police gadgets, including crowd control devices and mobile command centers.
