Mission

The mission of the Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) is to enhance public safety and improve criminal justice. DCJS is a multi-functional criminal justice agency with broad responsibilities including collection and analysis of statewide crime data; operation of the DNA Databank and criminal fingerprint files; administration of Federal and State funds that support local criminal justice programs; and administration of the State’s Sex Offender Registry. The Division also measures progress toward the overall goal of reducing crime, and tracks the effectiveness of both agency and system wide criminal justice strategies designed to increase public safety.

Budget Highlights

The Executive Budget recommends $265.7 million All Funds for the Division ($165.2 million General Fund; $47.3 Federal Funds; and $53.2 million Other Funds), representing an increase of $4 million from the 2012-13 budget.

An increase of $3 million in State Operations reflects support for on-going information technology projects. In Aid to Localities, the Executive Budget recommends consolidation of several funding streams for Alternative to Incarceration (ATI) programs into a competitive grant program focused on those with the highest risk of re-offending. An additional $350,000 is provided to fully fund statutory increases to district attorney salaries.

The Executive Budget recommends a workforce of 443 FTEs for the Division. This represents an increase of 20 FTEs from 2012-13.
