Who We AreJustice Is More Than a Career
NABCJ-OK is a multiethnic, nonpartisan, nonprofit association of criminal justice professionals, students, and community leaders. For our members, criminal justice is a commitment to a fundamental aspect of our democracy: justice.
The Association was founded as a vehicle by which criminal justice practitioners could initiate positive change from within, while increasing opportunities for the average citizen to better understand the nature and operation of our local, state, and federal criminal justice processes.
Membership and participation in the activities of the association are open to all, irrespective of race, creed, or country of national origin.
