The Native Village of Eyak and Cordova Police Department have been selected as 2019 scholarship recipients to attend the 14th annual Conference on Crimes Against Women.
The conference, April 8-11 in Dallas, Texas, will host over 2,800 professionals from 50 states, including law enforcement, prosecutors and victim advocates.
The gathering, presented by Genesis Women’s Shelter & Support and the Dallas Police Department, promotes strategies that improve public safety and support victims of crime across the nation.
Keynote speaker Kristen M. Gibbons Feden is a nationally acclaimed litigator best known for her involvement in the trials of entertainer Bill Cosby. Serving as special prosecutor, she secured a conviction of three counts of sexual assault against Cosby.
The goal of CCAW is to reduce the overall rate of crimes against women and ultimately eliminate violence against women. Their mission is also to improve the way crimes against women are investigated and prosecuted, and the way victims are treated throughout the criminal justice system.
