Annual Awards Ceremony
Each year, the CCC holds an awards ceremony to honor exceptional organizations and individuals who have demonstrated outstanding leadership and service in the criminal justice field. These distinguished professionals have made significant contributions through advocacy, research, or on-the-ground work in law enforcement and the courts.
Awardees have proven to be invaluable supports to the CCC and to the safety of New York. By showcasing their contributions to the field, the CCC hopes to raise awareness of the existing challenges and opportunities within the criminal justice field and encourages ongoing efforts to improve the justice system for all.
