PHOENIX, Ariz. – United States Attorney Timothy Courchaine hosted the 33rd Annual Four Corners Indian Country Conference in Glendale, Arizona this week. The three-day event, held at the Renaissance Phoenix Glendale Hotel & Conference Center, brought together over 150 attendees from Arizona, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico to train and collaborate on strategies to improve victim services, strengthen relationships between prosecutors, law enforcement, and communities, and discuss issues of concern to the four corners region. Started in 1992, the Four Corners Indian Country Conference already has a rich history in providing a forum for practitioners to express concerns, discuss solutions, and share resources. This year’s conference featured speakers, cultural presentations, and state-based breakout sessions to facilitate the exchange of ideas. “For over 30 years, the Four Corners Indian Country Conference has played an important role in building relationships across state lines and tribal borders to better serve victims,” said United States Attorney Timothy Courchaine. “We are honored to have had the opportunity to continue that tradition by hosting this year’s event in Arizona.”

The District of Arizona handles one of the most robust Indian Country dockets in the country and serves as the exclusive felony prosecutor for nearly all of the 22 federally-recognized tribes whose reservations fall in whole or in part in Arizona.

Next year’s conference will be hosted by the United States Attorney’s Office, District of Utah.
