U.S. Attorney’s Office Hosts 30th Annual Four Corners Indian Country Conference in Salt Lake City

Salt Lake City, Utah – United States Attorney, Trina A. Higgins, hosted the 30th Annual Four Corners Indian Country Conference in downtown Salt Lake City.  

The three-day event, which took place at the Grand America, brought over 200 professionals from the four corner states that are involved in victim services and public safety in tribal communities. Initiated in 1992, the Four Corners Indian Country Conference was designed to focus on prosecution and victims’ issues in Indian Country in the states of Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico. The goal of the conference is to discuss strategies and best practices from federal, state, and tribal criminal justice and social service professionals working with victims in tribal communities and how to improve victim services and make tribal communities safer.
