Information:
The Criminal Justice Coordinating Council (CJCC) was established in 2005 through a collaborative partnership between the Coconino County Board of Supervisors and the Flagstaff City Council. The CJCC exists to promote the safety and welfare of all citizens of Coconino County, to reduce the number of future crimes and future victims, to ensure the efficient and just treatment of offenders, and to work toward the prevention of crime and the reduction of recidivism. The overall purpose is to improve the overall effectiveness of the criminal justice system by uniting a diverse group of stakeholders, including county, municipal, and state criminal justice agencies, treatment providers, and administrative departments.
The CJCC consists of twenty-two (22) voting members and associate members. Leadership is provided by the Superior Court Presiding Judge who functions as the Chair and the Vice-Chair is elected from within the CJCC Committee. The Executive Committee supports and oversees the CJCC's operations and progress. A full-time CJCC Director staff position provides ongoing administrative and strategic support.
The CJCC is nationally recognized as one of the twelve founding members of the Justice Management Institute's National CJCC Network (JMI CJCC Network). This affiliation enables the CJCC to exchange insights with peer organizations nationwide. Serving as a collaborative forum the JMI CJCC Network brings together leaders and senior staff from CJCCs across the country to exchange information, discuss shared challenges, and explore effective strategies for addressing them.
