FAUQUIER/RAPPAHANNOCK

COMMUNITY CRIMINAL

JUSTICE BOARD

OUR SUCCESS STORY

The CCJB was formed in accordance with legislation passed by the Virginia General

Assembly in 1995. The purpose of this legislation was to give localities more

authority over local criminal justice issues.

Community Criminal Justice Boards Were Mandatory for

Localities Wishing to Acquire State Criminal Justice Grants

for CCCA and PSA Programs

Localities were given the option of forming individual boards or

collaborating with other localities to form multi-jurisdictional boards.

Fauquier County and Rappahannock County Decided To Form a Multi-Jurisdictional

Board.

The membership of the Fauquier/Rappahannock CCJB

was officially appointed by resolutions of the Boards of

Supervisors in May 1995

CCJB Membership Was Limited to 20 Members for

Multi-jurisdictional Boards

The membership includes:mandatory members:• Judges

• Commonwealth’s Attorney(s)

• Chief Magistrate

• Sheriff(s)

• Education Representative

• Community Services Board Representative

In 1995, the CCJB obtained a grant from the Center for Public Policy to take part in a national videoconference on multi- agency planning.

objectives:
