Establishment of the CCJB
 
The Community Criminal Justice Board (CCJB) for the 31st Judicial Circuit was established by a Joint Resolution adopted by the Prince William County Board of County Supervisors on Nov. 28, 1995; by the Manassas Park City Council on Dec. 19, 1995; and by the Manassas City Council on Jan. 22, 1996. The establishment of a community advisory board was mandated by the July 1, 1995 passage of the Virginia Comprehensive Community Corrections Act for Local Responsible Offenders (Section 53.1-183 of the Code of Virginia):
 
§ 9.1-178. Community criminal justice boards.
 
A. Each county or city or combination thereof developing and establishing a local pretrial services or a community-based probation services agency pursuant to this article shall establish a community criminal justice board. Each county and city participating in local pretrial services or local community-based probation services shall be represented on the community criminal justice board. In the event that one county or city appropriates funds to these services as part of a multijurisdictional effort, any other participating county or city shall be considered to be participating if such locality appropriates funds to these services. Appointments to the board shall be made by each local governing body. In cases of multijurisdictional participation, unless otherwise agreed upon, each participating city or county shall have an equal number of appointments. Boards shall be composed of the number of members established by a resolution or ordinance of each participating jurisdiction.
 
B. Each board shall include, at a minimum, the following members: a person appointed by each governing body to represent the governing body; a judge of the general district court; a circuit court judge; a juvenile and domestic relations district court judge; a chief magistrate; one chief of police or the sheriff in a jurisdiction not served by a police department to represent law enforcement; an attorney for the Commonwealth; a public defender or an attorney who is experienced in the defense of criminal matters; a sheriff or the regional jail administrator responsible for jails serving those jurisdictions involved in local pretrial services and community-based probation services; a local educator; and a community services board administrator. Any officer of the court appointed to a community criminal justice board pursuant to this subsection may designate a member of his staff approved by the governing body to represent him at meetings of the board.
 
§ 9.1-180. Responsibilities of community criminal justice boards.
 
On behalf of the counties, cities, or combinations thereof which they represent, the community criminal justice boards shall have the responsibility to:
 
1. Advise on the development and operation of local pretrial services and community-based probation services pursuant to §§ 19.2-152.2 and 9.1-176 for use by the courts in diverting offenders from local correctional facility placements;
 
2. Assist community agencies and organizations in establishing and modifying programs and services for defendants and offenders on the basis of an objective assessment of the community's needs and resources;
 
3. Evaluate and monitor community programs and pretrial and local community-based probation services and facilities to determine their impact on offenders;
 
4. Develop and amend the criminal justice plan in accordance with guidelines and standards set forth by the Department and oversee the development and amendment of the community-based corrections plan as required by § 53.1-82.1 for approval by participating local governing bodies;
 
5. Review the submission of all criminal justice grants regardless of the source of funding;
 
6. Facilitate local involvement and flexibility in responding to the problem of crime in their communities; and
 
7. Do all things necessary or convenient to carry out the responsibilities expressly given in this article.
