law enforcement

In the past two months, prosecutors' offices and court systems across the nation have seen their daily work to maintain constitutional justice uprooted, altered, and halted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Recently, in response to George Floyd’s death, the criminal justice system also began facing calls for expanded police accountability. The role of the prosecutor is changing rapidly and the steps that prosecutors take in the upcoming months could impact the justice system for years to come.

Join CNA and the National District Attorneys Association for their upcoming  webinar on June 16, 2020 at 2:00 p.m. ET. Attendees will learn about three offices’ experiences throughout COVID-19 and the challenges that prosecutors will face in future months.

Are you interested in implementing an Anonymous Reporting System (ARS) at your school to help prevent safety concerns before they are acted upon? This live webinar will guide participants in understanding the benefits and steps to smoothly adopting an ARS.

Audience
