Ignite Your Impact at the 2025 NW CJIS Users Workshop, Security Summit, and Criminal Investigation Symposium

Step into the future of criminal justice at the 2025 NW CJIS Users Workshop — the Pacific Northwest’s premier CJIS event where innovation, investigation, and information converge. For over three decades, this workshop has been the go-to source for cutting-edge insights, groundbreaking strategies, and practical tools that empower professionals across the entire criminal justice community.

This is not just a workshop

Too often, CJIS is misunderstood as a domain reserved for clerks and telecommunicators. But the truth? CJIS is the investigative backbone of modern policing and justice — influencing every role from patrol officers and detectives to telecommunicators to IT managers and agency directors. If you touch data, protect the public, or manage technology in criminal justice, this workshop was built for you.

Why Attend?

Because staying still means falling behind.

As technology evolves and threats become more sophisticated, public safety professionals must stay ahead of the curve. This workshop arms you with the tools, intelligence, and connections to do just that.

Over 2½ days of high-energy, high-impact learning, you’ll dive into timely topics ranging from:

• Crime-solving applications of CJIS data
• CJIS Security Policy updates and implementation strategies
• Records, dispatch, and court system optimization
• Cybersecurity threats and IT resilience
• Real-world investigative case studies
• New tools for officer safety and threat mitigation

Three Dynamic Tracks. One Purpose.

🔹 General (CJIS Track)

Sharpen your skills in system use, compliance, and agency operations — perfect for professionals who uses CJIS on a daily basis and/or are responsible for serving as the Terminal Agency Coordinator (TAC). This track provides information on CJIS security policies, training, and proper system use.

🔹 Security Summit (IT Track)

Tech leaders and cybersecurity professionals: this is your arena. Explore next-gen infrastructure challenges and critical safeguards that keep criminal justice systems secure and operational.

🔹 Criminal Investigation Symposium (Sworn Personnel Track)

New and exclusive to sworn law enforcement, corrections, and parole/probation personnel. Get hands-on, actionable intelligence with deep dives into real-world investigative techniques, use-case driven analysis, and officer safety briefings that can’t be found anywhere else.

Learn From the Best

Hear directly from the Washington State Patrol, FBI CJIS Division, Nlets, and other national experts. These sessions don’t just inform — they transform how agencies fight crime, share intelligence, and serve communities.

Build Powerful Connections

Between sessions, join your peers in meaningful networking opportunities that go beyond business cards. From breakfast meetups to evening socials, this is your chance to forge lasting professional relationships and partnerships that elevate your career and agency mission.
