Palm Beach County Earns National Achievement Award

West Palm Beach, FL – Palm Beach County’s Department of Criminal Justice Commission has been recognized with an Achievement Award from the National Association of Counties (NACo). The awards honor innovative, effective county government programs that strengthen services for residents.

Each year, NACo’s Achievement Awards are given in 18 categories that reflect the vast, comprehensive services counties provide. The categories include children and youth, criminal justice and public safety, county administration, information technology, health, civic engagement and more. Launched in 1970, the program is designed to recognize innovation in county government. Each nominated program is judged on its own merits and not against other applications.

“The Achievement Awards demonstrate excellence in county government and the commitment to serve our residents every day,” said NACo President Denise Winfrey. “This year’s winners represent some of the most innovative and collaborative efforts we have seen in over 50 years of presenting these awards.”

NIC Announces the Release of Two Publications Highlighting Standards for Criminal Justice Coordinating Councils

The National Institute of Corrections, in collaboration with the Justice Management Institute and the National Network of Criminal Justice Coordinating Councils, is pleased to announce the release of two publications highlighting standards for criminal justice coordinating councils (CJCCs): National Standards for Criminal Justice Coordinating Councils andCJCC Essential Elements: A Companion to the National Standards for Criminal Justice Coordinating Councils​. The CJCC standards are a comprehensive framework for the formation and ongoing management of CJCCs. These councils are established bodies of key criminal justice, government, and community stakeholders that convene regularly to identify systemic challenges and work collaboratively to improve the local criminal justice system.

CJCCs have existed for several decades and are widely considered a best practice because they heighten public safety; yet, they vary considerably from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. The CJCC standards represent the accumulation of practical knowledge on CJCCs, and they outline practices and protocols deemed highly effective in operating a high-functioning council.​

CCJC Essential Elements is a companion to National Standards for Criminal Justice Coordinating Councils. The essential elements of CJCCs consist of ten key attributes associated with high-performing CJCCs. The ten essential elements are: 1) systemic focus, 2) participation, 3) leadership, 4) consensus building, 5) organized meetings, 6) committees and workgroups, 7) strategic planning, 8) data and research, 9) community engagement, and 10) director and staff. Each essential element is described in the publication, and a set of key factors is presented. The key factors are items that indicate the presence of an essential element, and they are drawn from the guiding principles of CJCCs and the national standards.
