SESSION INFO

Tuesday, February 27, 2024
8:00 AM - 9:00 AM
Session Type: Workshop

Justice Counts is a national initiative to improve accessibility and usability of criminal justice data in public policy decision-making. Want to learn what Justice Counts can do for your agency? Want to see how more accessible probation and parole data can help inform executive and policy decisions and help you and your departments better meet and exceed your goals and priorities? In this Justice Counts demonstration session we will give an overview of Justice Counts and of public-facing data tools and custom supports just for agency leaders and their information officers. Following the session, attendees will have the opportunity to book time with the Justice Counts team to assist in adding their agency's data in the Justice Counts Publisher and immediately access their agency Justice Counts dashboard.
