California law enforcement organizations will attend their 20th annual Legislative Day on Wednesday, March 28, at the Sacramento Convention Center in Sacramento.  

The annual event provides law enforcement from across the state an opportunity to meet and discuss important legislative issues facing public safety, hear from key state leaders, learn how the legislative process works, and continue the effort to move public safety forward in California.  

Attendees then meet with legislators in the afternoon.

This year’s program will include discussion of critical issues of concern for law enforcement and public safety: focusing on the tremendous fiscal challenges facing California, criminal justice realignment, and ensuring that law enforcement maintains the resources needed to provide for the public safety of all Californians.
