Criminal Justice Planning

Criminal Justice Planning provides planning, research and evaluation, and analytical services for justice agencies in Jefferson County. Using statistical methods and computer programming, the planning unit conducts primary and secondary research, data analytics, and task automation.  

Products from this work inform policy and decision makers on current system status, data trends, cost saving measures, and improvement opportunities. The unit serves as a resource to the Criminal Justice Coordinating Committee to provide data, research, analysis and recommendations for evidence-based practices to assist with decision making.
