For professionals

OJP Conference on Crime and Victimization

A warm thank you to attendees and an invitation to return in 2025! 

​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 award recipients!
