Criminal Justice Coordinating Council (District of Columbia)

What Criminal Justice Coordinating Council (District of Columbia) does

The Criminal Justice Coordinating Council (CJCC) is an independent agency of the District of Columbia government, established in 2001 by DC Council and funded jointly by federal and District appropriations. Its mandate is to coordinate the criminal and juvenile justice system across more than 100 DC and federal agencies — including the Mayor's Office, Metropolitan Police Department, Department of Corrections, Pretrial Services Agency, Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency, DC Superior Court, US Attorney's Office, US Marshals, Federal Bureau of Prisons, and US Parole Commission — by convening agency heads, facilitating inter-agency policy work, and producing independent research. CJCC operates under the chairmanship of the Mayor with a federal or judicial co-chair, has 18 staff, and is headquartered at 441 4th Street NW in Washington, DC.

CJCC's core technology product is JUSTIS (Justice Information System), the District's designated Integrated Justice Information System, which operates 24/7 and combines a secure information portal with a system-to-system exchange module that enables near-real-time automated data sharing among authorized local, federal, and regional agencies. CJCC also maintains the DC Justice Statistical Analysis Tool (JSAT), a web platform publishing public-facing dashboards on the District's justice system, including Public Safety and Justice Dashboards, a Sentencing Dashboard (launched February 2025), and a Pretrial Release Decisions Dashboard — all published in compliance with the Secure DC Omnibus Amendment Act of 2024. Supporting programs include the Statistical Analysis Center for independent research, the Gun Violence Reduction Strategic Plan, the Prearrest Diversion Task Force, and Training and Technical Assistance through summits, webinars, and workshops.

CJCC's business model is government appropriations-based with no commercial revenue: services, dashboards, and research outputs are provided at no cost to member agencies and the public. The agency's customer base is structurally limited to DC residents, visitors, and justice-involved individuals, plus the DC and federal agencies it serves. Distribution occurs via the cjcc.dc.gov website, public meetings, DC Council testimony, press releases, and social media (@DC_CJCC). Recent strategic activity has emphasized transparency mandate compliance (Secure DC dashboards), inter-state data sharing via the MARIS Consortium, and policy initiatives in gun violence reduction and prearrest diversion.
