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)
