Criminal Justice Coordinating Council (CJCC)

As an independent agency, the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council (CJCC) for the District of Columbia is dedicated to continually improving the administration of criminal justice in the District.

The mission of the CJCC is to serve as the District of Columbia’s forum for District and federal members to identify cross-cutting local criminal and juvenile justice system issues and achieve coordinated solutions for the criminal and juvenile justice systems.

CJCC also facilitates and supports member-identified priorities, strategies and initiatives that will improve public safety, and the related criminal and juvenile justice services for District of Columbia residents, visitors, victims, and justice-involved individuals.

The CJCC draws upon local and federal agencies and individuals to develop recommendations and strategies for accomplishing this mission. The guiding principles are: creative collaboration, community involvement and effective resource utilization. The CJCC is committed to developing targeted funding strategies and comprehensive management of information through the use of integrated information technology systems and social science research.
