ATTORNEY GENERAL

AG Van Hollen to Hold Summit on Public Safety

Some of the most important issues facing the criminal justice system are issues involving crimes against children and the impact of violence and drugs on our communities. As your Attorney General, I want to better understand the root causes of these problems and identify how we can work together to further improve the safety and well being of all Wisconsin citizens. To advance that goal, I am inviting you to join me in a Working Summit on Public Safety on Thursday and Friday, October 18 and 19, in Wisconsin Dells.

I recognize that local law enforcement is confronted with these problems on a daily basis. Your observations and experiences are invaluable to helping me identify the best approaches to these problems so that we can advance our common goal of making Wisconsin safer.

That’s why this event will not be another lecture-driven law enforcement conference. This summit will be an interactive meeting where law enforcement administrators, officers and other criminal justice leaders will have an opportunity to discuss their concerns, thoughts, and ideas with me, Department of Justice staff, and other criminal justice practitioners from throughout the State.

To help frame the discussion, I have identified three broad topics: Crimes Against Children in Our Age of Technology; The Ever Evolving Problem of Violence and drugs; and how the Department of Justice and others can work together to make a difference. The summit will also recognize the contributions of some of our criminal justice partners and the traditional legal update with Dave Perlman.

The event will be held at the Kalahari Resort and Convention Center in Wisconsin Dells. Attendees are invited to an Opening Reception on Wednesday, October 17 and the summit will get underway Thursday morning. You can register for the summit on-line at www.wilenet.org or complete and mail-in the registration form found in this bulletin. All summit materials and meals are included in the registration fee.

I look forward to meeting with you at the summit and I would like to thank you again for your commitment to excellence in law enforcement, and for the good work you do every day to help protect our children, families and great Wisconsin communities.
