Divisions and Teams

DOCJ, and the divisions housed within our commission, all have distinct missions which are unique from the state's criminal justice agencies. DOCJ is the only policy coordination body for Utah’s criminal justice stakeholders and the primary granting agency for the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and other state funded criminal justice grants. Additionally, DOCJ is a leader in the field of criminal justice in Utah and serves as the only agency that provides indigent defense and crime victims services at the state level.
