Background and Discussion:
The Harris County Criminal Justice Coordinating Council (the Council) was created by Harris County Commissioners Court in 2009. The Council works to collectively manage systemic challenges facing Harris County’s criminal justice system and to strengthen the overall well-being of our communities by developing and recommending policies and practices; collecting and evaluating local criminal justice system data to identify systemic issues; and facilitating collaboration among agencies, experts, and community service providers. The Council is composed of 17 members, including elected officials, justice administrators, and community representatives, three of whom are court-nominated and appointed.
Expected Impact:
Appointment to an at-large seat previously nominated by Precinct 1, which will enable continuity of operations and leadership on the board.
