In 1999 Karen Siemsen, Volunteer Manager of the Concord Police Department envisioned providing quality training and networking opportunities for both volunteers and volunteer coordinators. Through her vision and under her direction a one-day conference was held in Concord to promote the concept. 100 volunteers and coordinators attended this conference and were part of this ground-breaking training session. The conference has grown and developed into the non-profit organization known as Law Enforcement Volunteers of California (LEVOC). LEVOC is a two-day conference and hosts over 500 volunteers and leaders in volunteer management each year.
