What they’re saying
”This is the strongest single learning tool available to me. I cannot express to you how much beneficial information comes to me, and then to our county, through this event. Thank you!
State Prosecutor
”This conference has raised awareness in areas with which I was not familiar. It's also a great opportunity to hear everyone's fight in this issue and great to see so many across the state and nation, working towards a common goal.
Campus Safety Officer
”CCAW rejuvenated my desire to help others, and find ways to be more efficient while assisting my clients. The case studies I saw helped me take into consideration everything the criminal justice systems entails, and how the process can affect victims and their families. Instead of focusing on what I have to get done, I have begun once again to focus on what my clients need.
Victim Advocate
”The conference was fabulous. Not only are the workshops excellent but there is an energy that one gets from being around professionals who are all striving for the same thing, regardless of the discipline from which they come.
Probation / Parole Officer
”I walk away with new information every year I have attended CCAW, and that information I believe is making me a better lawyer and advocate. This conference is invaluable.
Prosecutor
”The networking between law enforcement, prosecutors and advocates was awesome. To see that in other areas of the state and to take that back to my county was a motivator for me.
Victim Advocate
”Attending CCAW conference opened up so many ideas and practices that I would not have known of if I had not traveled outside of my state. After several years in advocacy and continuous in-state trainings, the information became so repetitive. This Conference gave me a lot of new information to bring back to my state. Hopefully, I will get the opportunity to attend again! I know that there is still so much information at CCAW that would be beneficial to my community.
Victim Advocate
”By attending the Conference, I learned a multi discipline approach to investigating Crimes against woman and children. I’ve learned the importance of collaboration with Law enforcement advocacy groups. I’ve also learned better ways of using communicative skills while interviewing victims of violent crimes.I find by attending the Conference, I am keeping myself as well as my agency up-to-date with the latest techniques and trends in law-enforcement investigations.
