Office of Criminal Justice Services Strategic Planning Assessment Survey

The Office of Criminal Justice Service (OCJS) serves as the lead criminal justice planning agency for the state of Ohio. OCJS administers millions of dollars of grant funds to Ohio’s criminal justice constituents and coordinates Ohio’s comprehensive criminal justice plan. We are engaging in a statewide strategic planning effort to identify Ohio’s key criminal justice needs and priorities. Part of this effort involves gathering information from experts in the field. I invite you to participate in our Strategic Planning Assessment survey. Your responses will be invaluable to OCJS in shaping the Strategic Plan. Youwill find the surveyat www.surveymonkey.com/r/OCJS_NeedsAssessmentSurvey_2018 . The survey has two sections: (1) Prioritizing overall state needs, and (2) Prioritizing the needs of your particular profession (e.g. law enforcement, crime prevention, courts, etc.). Most people complete the survey in 15 minutes. Please disseminate this assessment to your staff, colleagues, partners, associates, funded entities, membership, or other relevant parties in the field, as we welcome feedback from all stakeholders. Thank you for the work that you do to make for a safer Ohio.
