OJP Conference on Crime and Victimization
Thank you to everyone to attended the 2025 Annual OJP Conference on Crime and Victimization!
The symposium was a wonderful reminder of the greatest asset we have in Minnesota - the advocacy, criminal justice and allied professionals who address the needs of crime victims. We enjoyed seeing everyone and are grateful for the opportunity to learn, share, and engage with one another.
