NEW YORK — Justice Department officials heard how credit unions can help in community development and crime fighting while attending an Aug. 24 national conference in Detroit sponsored by the Department.

The officials heard from Clifford Rosenthal, executive director of the National Federation of Community Development Credit Unions, who addressed them in the context of the efforts of an office dedicated to community development as a crime-fighting tool.
