POSTPONED: National Law Enforcement Summit 2020

Enhancing Justice & Public Safety

DUE TO THE CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK, LAW ENFORCEMENT LEADERS’ NATIONAL SUMMIT HAS BEEN POSTPONED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

Given the rapidly-evolving news surrounding the novel coronavirus outbreak, and the travel and other guidance being issued by the CDC and other government entities, Law Enforcement Leaders has concluded that postponement of our National Summit scheduled for April 1, 2020, is necessary.

Although we will not be hosting the summit this Spring, we are committed to convening our members this year to discuss how to better provide just outcomes while ensuring safe communities. This page will be continually updated as details for the rescheduled summit are finalized.
