The field of criminal justice continues to change and evolve—to survive the changes, adapt our agencies, and continue on the path of success, we must address the many critical issues facing criminal justice and public safety. The 2009 National Forum convenes leaders from state, tribal, and local governments and the private sector to work collaboratively in finding solutions and strategies to not only react to change, but to become a driving force in fostering positive transformations in criminal justice and public safety agencies.

The National Criminal Justice Association (NCJA) and the IJIS Institute, in partnership with the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), a component of the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Justice Programs, are pleased to offer you this unique opportunity to explore collaboration in a neutral setting, to share ideas about the changing face of criminal justice, and to develop strategies that both encompass and exploit the changes we face.

This conference features expert panelists who work in the criminal justice and public safety fields, sharing practical solutions that are working across the country.
