Course Description: Gallatin County’s criminal justice system is an entirely different animal than seven years ago. The first step was establishing the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council, the first of its kind in Montana. The members including judges, the sheriff, county attorney, probation officers, and the chief public defender not only began talking with each other on a regular basis, but agreed on priorities that would improve the system and use jail space more efficiently. This presentation will cover the changes that have taken place as well as the many challenges that plague criminal justice all over the country. How do I become a member?
Meeting Place and Times: 3-5 p.m., Pilgrim Congregational Church on South 3rd.
