The Department of Community Justice promotes public safety and strives to reduce recidivism among juvenile delinquents and adult offenders through a balance of supervision, services, and sanctions.

The Department seeks to share information with community members, partners, and staff on what works to keep communities safe by preventing and reducing crime, and to routinely evaluate the extent to which local policies support those best practices.
