Criminal Justice Planning
Information on Larimer County Referred Issue 1-A
The mission of Criminal Justice Planning at Larimer County is to assess the entire public safety system to make sure that justice is served and that efficiencies are in place that promote good use of public resources. With this in mind, outcomes include: assisting policy makers in better planning for the expected increase in the jail population; and, creating intermediate sanctions and other criminal justice services and programs. Because this is a systemic effort, the Criminal Justice Advisory Committee, was created to make sure all the components of the criminal justice system were included. Support is given to the Criminal Justice Advisory Committee by providing reports of what is currently taking place within the criminal justice system. One of things these reports do is to help identify trends in inmate populations within Larimer County.
Other highlights of the Criminal Justice Planning effort at Larimer County include:
- Research, which is ongoing to find the best evidence based practices being used to alternatively supervise and treat those individuals sentenced by the courts.
- Recommending new programs for implementation in Larimer County in order to keep the use of valuable jail beds to a minimum.
- Identifying legislation that affects the criminal justice system both positively and negatively.
- Identifying opportunities for grant funds that may enhance criminal justice operations within Larimer County.
