National Criminal Justice Association

The National Criminal Justice Association (NCJA) is a Washington, D.C.–based nonprofit that represents state, tribal and local governments and criminal justice practitioners. NCJA organizes conferences and events for criminal justice professionals — notably the annual Forum on Criminal Justice, the NCJA Virtual Public Policy Summit, topical policy sessions, and member trainings — focused on public safety, corrections, policy, and related issues. These events are relevant to law enforcement, sheriffs, corrections, and emergency/public safety audiences but are not exclusively "police chiefs" or "sheriff-only" conferences.
