About the Conference
A Premier Gathering for Criminal Justice Professionals
The 38th Annual NABCJ-OK State Conference & Training Institute brings together practitioners, scholars, policymakers, and community leaders from across the nation to advance the administration of justice.
The National Association of Blacks in Criminal Justice (NABCJ) is a non-profit, non-partisan, multi-ethnic organization dedicated to improving justice at the local, state, and federal levels. The Oklahoma Chapter was established in 1986.
This milestone year we celebrate 38 years of advancing justice, innovation, and collaboration.
