Highlights of the 1999 conference included video footage of activities at sites throughout the country, an opportunity to examine the New Orleans Mobile Community Outreach Police Station van, a keynote address by U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno, and an exhibit hall that reproduced the sights and sounds of typical streets in typical U.S. communities. Exhibitors filled more than 100 tables with information about their sites, programs, and services.
