Dunn County CJCC assumes oversight of Crime Prevention Board funding and adopts 2025 goals
Summary
The Criminal Justice Coordinating Council voted to assume oversight of the county Crime Prevention Board’s grants and approved three goals for 2025 including continued grant-funded programs and the newly formed DNA-collection effort.
At a quarterly meeting of the Dunn County Criminal Justice Coordinating Council, members voted to take oversight responsibility for the county’s Crime Prevention Board and its funding, and approved the CJCC’s goals for 2025.
A presenter sought the CJCC’s oversight because many counties place Crime Prevention Board assets under a multidisciplinary council to provide a buffer between law-enforcement grant applicants and awarding processes. The presenter said oversight ‘‘puts a buffer between the Sheriff's Department and the grantees so that there isn't any accusations of conflict of interest.’’
The council voted in favor. The motion passed by voice vote; the transcript records members answering ‘‘aye’’ with no objections recorded. After the vote, council members confirmed the oversight would be implemented through CJCC processes and staff support, with grant solicitation, application intake and grantee reporting to be managed administratively.
Council members next considered goals for 2025. The CJCC approved three goals presented on screen: continue implementation of law-enforcement deflection and diversion programs (including new city funding for deflection), sustain treatment and jail services including medication-assisted treatment and the start of a therapeutic community program in the jail, and take on additional projects including DNA-collection mapping, warrant-fee process review and assuming oversight of the Crime Prevention Board. The motion to approve the three goals passed by voice vote.
Members noted staff had provided a written report and a grant-status update in the meeting packet. The meeting closed after routine agency updates and scheduling of the next quarterly and executive-operations committee meetings.
