What we do
The Division of Criminal Justice (DCJ) advances the Parker administration’s goals of public safety and community well-being by reforming Philadelphia’s criminal and juvenile justice systems. We advance collaborative and data-driven strategies that:
- Foster meaningful community partnerships.
- Identify and break down barriers to racial equity.
- Increase opportunities for diversion away from the justice system.
- Safely reduce the jail population.
DCJ also supports the following programs:
- 911 Triage and Responder Strategy
- Community Advisory Committee (CAC)
- Criminal Justice Advisory Board (CJAB)
- Jail Population Management
- MacArthur Foundation Safety and Justice Challenge
- Police-Assisted Diversion (PAD)
