Criminal Justice Coordinating Councils
With funding from the Bureau of Justice Assistance, the Justice Management Institute(JMI), the Pretrial Justice Institute (PJI), and the National Association of Counties (NACo), are bringing together leaders and top-level staff from criminal justice coordinating councils (CJCCs) across the country that have major roles in shaping decisions regarding criminal justice.
The goal of this project is to provide a central place for the leaders and senior staff of CJCCs to share information and ideas about common problems and promising approaches to addressing these problems. Project objectives include:
- Providing an outlet for CJCC leaders and senior staff to discuss common issues and opportunities;
- Facilitating a learning exchange among CJCCs on promising innovations and evidence-based policy and practice;
- Creating a network of CJCC leaders and staff for on-going peer-to-peer technical assistance; and
- Developing materials that will aid CJCCs in their policy making and will assist other jurisdictions in developing effective CJCCs of their own.
The following jurisdictions have been selected as members of the National CJCC Network:
- Coconino County, Arizona
- Sacramento, California
- Denver, Colorado
- Pinellas County, Florida
- Clinton County, Iowa
- Johnson County, Kansas
