Many State Administering Agencies (SAAs) collaborate with local Criminal Justice Coordinating Councils (CJCCs) to address the most pressing public safety challenges facing the state. In Ohio, Lucas-Toledo and Franklin Counties are established under the Ohio Revised Code (ORC) as metropolitan county criminal justice services agencies. Both CJCCs collaborate with the Ohio Office of Criminal Justice Services to conduct criminal justice system and youth services planning, apply for and allocate grant funds, and deliver assistance within their service areas. The creation and sustainment of the CJCC’s enables greater input by local officials on allocation decisions and allows enhanced planning for local needs. Both CJCCs are also designated as regional planning units (RPUs) for the administration of Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) funding and also provide input regarding Byrne JAG funding in their counties. In Ohio, the Office of Criminal Justice Services (OCJS) serves as a critical partner for funding and validation of ideas and innovations for the CJCCs. Kharlton Moore, Executive Director of the Ohio OCJS, discussed how their collaborates with local CJCCs and learns about initiatives under way in those counties to reduce over-incarceration and reduce the length of stay for people with serious mental illness in jails. Michael Daniels, Justice Policy Coordinator for Franklin County, discussed the county's participation in the Stepping Up initiative. Holly Matthews, Executive Director of the Lucas County CJCC discuss Toledo/Lucas County's participation in the Data Driven Justice Initiative and Safety and Justice Challenge. Participants also heard about the Northwest Ohio Regional Information System (NORIS), which was founded in 1974 to provide records automation and information sharing among jurisdictions in Lucas County.
