- Have a mechanism to monitor system progress that allows PSCC to know how well it is doing in meeting its charge.
- Explore and implement appropriate governance models that increase system efficiency and cost-effectiveness; and
- Make sure there is a continuum of programs and services that promote healthy behavior, ensure the ability to protect the community, and hold offenders accountable.
Vision and Guiding Principles
Vision Statement
We will live in a safe community supported by a safety and justice system that works together to focus on prevention and restoration, while balancing intervention and enforcement. The system will be built on a solid foundation of constitutional principles, statutory laws and community values which honor and promote personal responsibility, family and neighborhood involvement, and trust among people and institutions.
Guiding Principles
- We will prevent crime by promoting conditions, behaviors, and individual and community attitudes that result in a safe community.
- We will hold youth and adult offenders accountable and employ sanctions which fit the circumstances of the crime and the offender.
- We will promote the rights of victims and the community to be compensated and restored.
- We will provide opportunities for skill training, rehabilitation, and reintegration of offenders into the community.
- We will assist community members to understand and accept their responsibility to contribute to and maintain a safe and just society.
- We will coordinate the programs and activities of governmental and private agencies that affect community safety and justice, and will ensure agencies work in partnership with the business community and citizens.
- We will make effective community safety decisions based on research data from a comprehensive information management system.
- We will support the rights of all individuals to a fair and non-discriminatory legal process.
