Welcome to the Division of Criminal Justice (DCJ)

The Colorado legislature created the Division of Criminal Justice [DCJ] to "... improve all areas of the administration of criminal justice in Colorado, both immediately and in the long term, regardless of whether the direct responsibility for action lies at the state level or with the many units of local government" ( 24-33.5-501 C.R.S. 1973 as amended).

The mission of the Division of Criminal Justice is to improve the public safety of the community, the quality of services to crime victims, and the effectiveness of services to offenders. We accomplish this by analyzing policy, conducting criminal justice research, managing programs, and administering grants.

As a public service organization, we seek:
Excellence in all we do
To meet and exceed the needs of our customers;
To apply innovation and creativity to problem identification and solution

To treat colleagues and customers with dignity and respect, and support diversity; and,

 

 To demonstrate empathy and compassion as we seek fairness and justice
for all.
