The 17th Judicial District Criminal Justice Coordinating Council (CJCC) serves as the designated independent advisory body within Adams County & Broomfield County to address systemic criminal justice issues informed by evidence-based practices and guided by outcome-driven decision-making.
Our mission is to provide an ongoing forum for top leaders from justice agencies, local government offices, and community partners to prioritize public safety and criminal justice reform in an effective and equitable way. The CJCC was established by the Adams County Board of Commissioners October 31, 2011, and later clarified its establishment and role by resolution on August 19, 2014.
