The Center for Court Innovation hosted, Community Justice 2016, an international summit on how to reduce crime and incarceration while improving public trust in justice. The three-day training was held in Chicago from April 13 to April 15, 2016.

A core objective of the program is to generate awareness of the Safe Return program nationally. Creating awareness for the program will encourage a greater number of people affected by Alzheimer’s disease to enroll in the program. The greater the number of people enrolled, the greater number of people who can be helped in a wandering event. To meet this objective, displays will be designed, printed, manufactured, shipped, and distributed across the country. The displays will mimic a display program that MedicAlert has found to be successful in creating general awareness of medical IDs.
