Efrem Noel of the Chesapeake Police Department, Elaina Roberts of the Stalking Resource Center, Nancy Halverson of Hennepin County Community Corrections (ret.), and Captain Tim Ellenberger and Shay Harger representing the Highpoint Offender-Based Focused Deterence Model, and others.
There will be a wide range of experienced Guest Speakers representing model practices for danger assessment and victim-safety planning established by police, prosecutors, judges, probation, batterers intervention programs, and child welfare.
