    Reimagining Justice: Collaborative Responses to Low-Level Offenses

    Monday, October 20, 2025
    12:30 PM - 1:30 PM MT
    Location: Mile High Ballroom 1CD, Colorado Convention Center
    This panel will explore and discuss new or innovative approaches to improving community safety and trust with law enforcement in neighborhoods experiencing high rates of low-level offenses. By redirecting responses to these offenses through community-based or alternative strategies, these approaches can help free up law enforcement to focus on more serious public safety concerns. Panelists from Multnomah County, Oregon, and Newark, New Jersey, will discuss their experiences with implementing this approach to public safety, offering reflections on both the successes achieved and challenges encountered. Panelists will further examine how they specifically tailored their approach to meet the unique needs of their respective communities.
