Texas. Criminal Justice Division

The Criminal Justice Division of the Office of the Governor is responsible for preparing an annual state criminal justice plan that details goals, priorities, and standards for improving the criminal justice system. The division administers state and federal grant funds and awards funds to criminal justice, juvenile justice, and victim service projects. Eligible applicants for these funds include state agencies, regional councils of governments, cities, counties, colleges and universities, private nonprofit corporations, independent school districts, and regional education service centers. Once the grants have been awarded, they are monitored, evaluated, and audited by the division. It also hosts town hall meetings statewide, which are designed to identify areas of public concern and to help develop more aggressive funding initiatives. In addition, the office provides interactive video conference training for existing and potential grantees. The Criminal Justice Division is the statewide headquarters for Texas Crime Stoppers and the Texas Narcotics Control Program.
