CCJCC’s mission is to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the local criminal justice system by strengthening interagency communication, cooperation, and coordination. 

Since its creation in 1981 by the Board of Supervisors, the Committee has gained state and national recognition as a model for interagency collaboration.  With the support of the Board of Supervisors and the commitment of members representing criminal justice system, education, and health and human services agencies, CCJCC transcends traditional agency lines and addresses justice system issues from a countywide perspective.
