29th Annual Texas Crime Stoppers Campus Conference 
Council

Texas Crime Stoppers recently hosted the 29th Annual Texas Crime Stoppers Campus Conference in Seguin, Texas, highlighting the incredible efforts of youth volunteers dedicated to ensuring the safety of their middle and high school campuses.

Students, administrators, program sponsors, and School Resource Officers (SROs) from across the state came together for this impactful three-day training event, hosted by Guadalupe County Crime Stoppers. The conference tackled pressing topics such as mental health, human trafficking, and online predators, while also providing valuable sessions on nonprofit guidelines, best practices, and program marketing. It served as a vital platform to promote collaboration and strengthen connections among various Crime Stoppers organizations.

A special thanks to Guadalupe County Crime Stoppers for their exceptional efforts in hosting this year’s conference!
