Mission
The mission of the Division of Criminal Justice Services (Division) is to enhance public safety and improve criminal justice. DCJS is a multi-function criminal justice agency with extensive responsibilities including collection and analysis of statewide crime data; acting as the State's repository of criminal history records; administration of Federal and State funds that support local criminal justice programs; and administration of the State's Sex Offender Registry and DNA Databank. The Division also measures progress regarding the goal of crime reduction, and tracks the effectiveness of both agency and system-wide criminal justice strategies designed to enhance public safety.
Budget Highlights
The FY 2017 Executive Budget recommends $272.8 million All Funds for the Division of Criminal Justice Services ($178.7 million General Fund; $67.3 million Federal Funds; and $26.8 million Other Funds), representing an increase of $5 million from the FY 2016 budget. This increase is largely attributable to higher federal appropriations for seized asset revenue, funding for Alternatives to Incarceration and county re-entry task force expansion, offset by the elimination of non-recurring legislative additions from FY 2016.
The Executive Budget recommends a workforce of 436 FTEs for the Division, unchanged from FY 2016.
