​Thank you to everyone who attended the Minnesota Department of Public Safety Office of Justice Programs Annual Conference on Crime and Victimization held in May 2024.  

We enjoyed connecting with more than 300 attendees at our in-person event. Between the 40 workshop options, social hour and dynamic keynote presentations, we were pleased at the turnout, support for award recipients and attendance at the exhibitor and vendor fair.  

While we're still fondly reflecting on the learning moments from May, we're looking ahead to 2025 and hope you'll make plans to join us as we create space for connection, innovation and more for crime victim and allied professionals. Check back here for dates and details! 

Congratulations to Jude Foster for taking home the Distinguished Service Award and Rachel Ratner for being awarded the Dr. William Kosiak Victim Service Professional Award.

This is a highlight of the annual conference each year. We're grateful for the nominations and to those who were there to support everyone. Thank you!
