Crime Stoppers in the Field!

Every year, Texas Crime Stoppers hosts a statewide training conference for a wide range of participants, such as board members, student ambassadors, law enforcement coordinators, and volunteers. In preparation for the 35th Annual Texas Crime Stoppers Conference, the Texas Crime Stoppers team recently traveled to Waco, Texas, to collaborate with Waco Crime Stoppers and their planning committee. During their visit, they viewed the Waco Convention Center, the host hotel, as well as met with the awards and program vendors. This trip was essential for assessing facilities and plans alongside Waco Crime Stoppers, with the ultimate goal of planning a successful conference.?
A special thanks to Waco Crime Stoppers for their hospitality!
