2026 Montana Narcotics Officers Association Training Conference

The Montana Narcotics Officers Association (MNOA) is a non-profit organization consisting of state and federal law enforcement officers, attorneys, sheriffs, chiefs of police, probation and parole officers across Montana. One of MNOA's key initiatives is this annual training conference, celebrating its 31st anniversary in 2026. The conference enhances the skills and preparedness of law enforcement professionals statewide through comprehensive workshops, simulations, and expert-led sessions. Officers gain invaluable knowledge and practical experience that directly translates to safer communities and more effective narcotics investigations and seizures. Training opportunities may include narcotics investigations, drug trafficking interdiction, clandestine laboratory investigations, overdose and fentanyl investigations, search warrant preparation and execution, confidential informant management, digital evidence and intelligence gathering, case development, and emerging drug trends. The conference aims to foster a professional network, allowing local, state, tribal, and federal law enforcement professionals to share intelligence, exchange ideas, develop investigative partnerships, and build relationships.
