A Sergeant from Wichita has been awarded a scholarship to attend the National Training Conference Addressing Violent Crimes Against Women. The conference promotes strategies that improve public safety and support victims of crime across the nation. Classes are taught at CCAW with the intention of not only educating attendees, but also equipping them with the necessary tools to convey information to their departments and colleagues, thereby systematically improving agencies and increasing collective skill and competency levels. CCAW is a national clearinghouse for training and best practices regarding the identification, investigation, and prosecution of all types of violent crimes against women, including domestic and dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, and human trafficking. This year the conference will welcome over 2,800 professionals from all 50 states. Hosted in Dallas, Texas, the 2019 conference will be held April 8th through 11th.
