The two-day summit brings together criminal justice practitioners, policymakers, legislators, service providers, researchers, and community members. Each session provides information about current strategies that can be replicated or adapted in local jurisdictions. The panel sessions present information about effective practices that are multidisciplinary in nature, incorporate promising or evidence-based components; highlight professional development or training models; and support innovative information-sharing standards, policies and practices.
