What we do
California law requires each county to establish a Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council (JJCC).
Each county's council must:
- Create and put in place county based responses to juvenile crime
- Create the county’s multi-agency Local Action Plan to serve juvenile justice-involved youth
- Review, update, and submit the Local Action Plan on an annual basis to the Board of State and Community Corrections by May 1 of each year.
