Criminal Justice Coordinating Council Meeting

The Washington County Criminal Justice Coordinating Council (CJCC) held a meeting on July 15, 2026, focusing primarily on internal governance and strategic planning rather than direct procurement activities. Key procurement-relevant discussions included the adoption of a data sharing policy to govern the handling and distribution of sensitive data among CJCC subcommittees, ensuring compliance with public records laws. The council also discussed the development of a public-facing website to improve communication and transparency, with plans to leverage county infrastructure and form a communications work group to oversee this effort. Additionally, the council reviewed and adopted a member commitment statement to be included in the bylaws, reinforcing expectations for member roles and responsibilities. Subcommittee updates highlighted ongoing work in behavioral health and pre-trial compliance, with emphasis on collaboration and data sharing but no specific contract awards or vendor selections were reported.
