Criminal Justice

CAPCOG’s Criminal Justice Division has been designated by the Office of the Governor, Criminal Justice Division, as the agency responsible for regional criminal justice planning for the ten-county area of Region 12. CAPCOG’s Criminal Justice Planner provides grant applicants technical assistance in applying for grants through the Office of the Governor, Criminal Justice Division, administers state and federal funds, and assists communities, local governments and nonprofit entities in developing and preparing programs and projects that identify criminal justice, juvenile justice, and victim services issues. This process is guided by local community plans that document trends and social service needs, and provide lists of priorities seeking solutions. Agencies looking to apply for funding through the Governor’s Office, Criminal Justice Division, must participate in their county’s community planning process or submit an application for funding that addresses an identified priority in their home county’s community plan.


Criminal Justice Planning & Grant Coordination

The CAPCOG CJD is also responsible for coordinating the grant application review and prioritization process as required by the Criminal Justice Division of the Governor’s Office. With the assistance of the CAPCOG Criminal Justice Systems Committee, the grant applications are reviewed and priorities set for all criminal justice funding. Such priorities are established as the Regional Criminal Justice Plan and submitted to the Governor’s Office for funding approval.
