The mission of the Criminal Justice Services Department is “to promote the safety of the citizens of Lewis and Clark County, the efficient and just treatment of defendants and offenders, the protection and healing of victims, and to work toward prevention of crime and the reduction of recidivism.” To that end the CJS department enlisted the assistance of the Justice Management Institute (JMI) to conduct a comprehensive review and assessment of the criminal justice data collection systems. The CJIS Initiative is focused on developing a comprehensive implementation plan for the recommendations provided by JMI.
