 Code Enforcement in a Time of Criminal Justice Reform and Shifting Policing
 
Tuesday, October 5, 2021 
10:15 am - 12:30 pm
 
The State has accelerated its changes to traditional policing and criminal justice; this has resulted in code enforcement being tasked with enforcing issues formerly handled by traditional policing, and doing so using administrative and civil code enforcement tools. This course will focus specifically on three widespread and dangerous issues: drug houses, gang houses and places used for prostitution and human trafficking: State law authorizes cities and counties to abate these nuisances, and code enforcement provides the tools. This course will discuss the powerful laws that empower local jurisdictions to protect their communities and deal with these issues, and will also cover tactical approaches.  
 
Attendees should take away a strong understanding of their jurisdiction’s options for dealing with drug houses, gang houses and places used for prostitution/human trafficking, as well as concrete tools for doing so.
