Registration Open for 11th Annual Innovative Technologies for Corrections Conference

    DENVER, CO, February 11, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Registration is now open for the 11th Annual Innovative Technologies for Corrections Conference, hosted by the National Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Center (NLECTC) June 21-23, 2010 at the Westin Beach Resort, Fort Lauderdale, FL.

According to Joe Russo, Assistant Director of NLECTC, the conference will provide participants with a unique opportunity to learn from their colleagues about the implementation of state-of-the-art technologies, to get a glimpse at technologies on the horizon and to network with technology providers and fellow practitioners.

"Technology to assist correctional agencies in their mission performance is expanding rapidly. This conference brings together a diverse group of practitioners, developers and experts from across the country. What brings them to this conference is their common interest in new technology and to share lessons learned about selecting, implementing and evaluating technology in the correctional setting," says Russo.

WHO ATTENDS THIS CONFERENCE?
In previous years, this conference focused on community corrections and typically 300 - 400 professionals from areas such as probation, parole, pretrial, alternative sentencing programs and treatment providers attend. Practitioners from all across the country participate in this conference; last year 40 different states and 4 countries outside the U.S. were represented. In addition to the community corrections segment, this year's conference is expected to bring a similar type of attendee from Federal, State and Local agencies responsible for correctional facilities.
