A Message from our Executive Director:
Greetings Utah Justice Stakeholders,
This year has been one of growth, adjustment, and continued commitment to our mission of connecting and collaborating with system partners on criminal and juvenile justice policy with the goal of reducing crime and delinquency in Utah. Our team has adapted to new circumstances, and found innovative ways to fulfill our goals and objectives as outlined in our updated 2024-2027 Strategic Plan.
Whether it was facilitating the nomination process for the growing number of judicial vacancies; overseeing the statewide distribution of federal and state grant dollars; responding to the increasing demand for extradition requests; furthering program evaluations on specialty supervision programs and data analysis of prison population projections; fostering collaborations to advance the Public Safety Data Portal Initiative; creating space to discuss issues on DUI sentencing, recidivism, youth gun violence, sex offense registries, and automatic expungement; launching the Safe at Home Program; and carrying out responsibilities as outlined in justice policies passed by the legislature and Governor, we have embraced challenges and emerged stronger.
As we look ahead to 2025, we are excited to build on this momentum. The lessons we have learned this past year will guide us as we continue to evolve, ensuring that we remain responsive, resilient, and impactful.
