Executive Committee

Overview and Purpose

The Milwaukee Community Justice Council (MCJC), created by Milwaukee County Board resolution in 2007, is made up of Milwaukee-area criminal justice agencies and local governments working collaboratively to ensure a fair, efficient, and effective justice system that enhances public safety and quality of life in our community.

- facilitate collaboration among justice system partners to enhance performance

- provide technical assistance to ensure adhearance to evidence-based principles
