Conference draws law enforcement, prosecutors
More than 40 people, including regional prosecutors and law enforcement officials, gathered at Chadron State College’s Student Center on Tuesday to receive an update on recent legislation and cases in criminal law and procedures.
The conference was sponsored by the Attorney General’s Office and the Justice Studies Department at CSC. Most of the information was presented by two members of the Nebraska Attorney General’s Office, John Freudenberg, chief of the Criminal Bureau, and Corey O’Brien, assistant attorney general in the Drug and Violent Crime Unit. Freudenberg is a 1992 CSC graduate who earned a juris doctorate from the University of Nebraska.
Among the topics were recent developments in consent searches and search and seizure.
Dr. George Watson, CSC justice studies professor, said the conference was provided as a service to officials in western Nebraska, but also provided a learning opportunity for of the justice studies program.
Conference attendees said the conference provided a valuable service to the region.
“It’s not always easy to keep updated on all the laws and changes in legislation, so we take advantage of any opportunities such as this,” said Henry Moreno, a Gering Police Department detective. “It’s been a good, informative session.”
