The 34th Annual Texas Crime Stoppers Conference was held in McAllen, Texas. This three-day training opportunity was offered to Peace Officers, Crime Stoppers Board Members, and Volunteers. Attendees had the chance to learn about the impact of Crime Stoppers across the state, gain knowledge on nonprofit guidelines, best practices, program marketing, and current trends. The conference provided a valuable opportunity to enhance programs and foster collaboration with other Crime Stoppers organizations across the state.

We would like to express our appreciation to McAllen Crime Stoppers for their exceptional job in hosting a great conference!
