September 17, 2020 WSATI Training Meeting Held Virtually on Zoom
Attendees were allowed access to the meeting early with the ability to see and hear others that they had not probably been able to see in approximately two months since the July Virtual Training Meeting due to the WSATI Training Meeting / Luncheons being cancelled due to Covid-19 restrictions placed on WSATI and our hosting venues. WSATI Southern Chapter Legal Advisor Richard Knapp (Knapp & Spurlock, LLP) welcomed everyone to the meeting in the WSATI Southern Chapter's "new normal" meeting venue... virtual. Richard acted as the moderator of the Virtual Meeting and started with the Pledge of Allegiance.
Richard then introduced the guest speakers who would be giving presentations during the Virtual Meeting. The presentation began with the first two Guest Speakers for this meeting Dennis Frias and Tony Ko from Locator Technologies and ended with John Grant from Grant Lien Sales. Combined they gave a presentation on "Towing and Lien Sales." Richard opened up the Roundtable Discussion. Due to questions regarding the "security" of the virtual meetings, meeting attendees were advised to not bring up confidential information. The meeting was adjourned. |
The
meetings are for auto theft investigators, insurance company special
investigation
agents, vehicle leasing loss prevention agents, and other individuals
involved
in the investigation, recovery and prevention of vehicle
thefts.
Investigators from in and out of Southern California attend the
meetings
to share information about current cases, suspects and auto theft
trends.

course of the training meeting / luncheon format.
