This fall we will be gathering in Detroit, Michigan to celebrate NACOLE's Twenty-Fifth Annual Conference.  We hope that you will join us September 22-26 as NACOLE and the greater oversight community come together to celebrate our accomplishments, discuss issues and effective practices in oversight, and honor those that have worked to establish and grow this organization.

This year's conference will feature four tracks that contain information that touches on all of the Core Competencies for Civilian Oversight Practitioners:

• Training
• Community Trust
• Institutional Culture and Correctional Oversight 
• Collaboration 

Within these four tracks conference attendees will be able to choose from 31 different plenary and concurrent sessions covering topics such as the principles of civilian oversight and effective practices; community-police mediation; building juvenile correctional oversight; and how to build relationships with law enforcement while maintaining your independence.

In addition to attending sessions like those noted above, attendees will have the opportunity to network with hundreds of others in the ever-growing community of civilian oversight practitioners, community members, law enforcement officials, journalists, elected officials, students and others working for greater accountability, transparency, and trust. They will be a part of a learning and networking event that will provide inspiration, ideas, and practical knowledge to overcome challenges and continue the work.

The Detroit Board of Police Commissioners, who will be celebrating their 45th year in 2019, will serve as our hosts and, in the midst of a schedule of training, they will share with us their work as a community to promote trust and transparency and serve as a bridge between the police and the communities they serve.
