The mission of the Colorado Division of Criminal Justice (DCJ) is to improve the safety of the community, the quality of services to crime victims, and the effectiveness of services to offenders.  DCJ accomplishes this through the work of six program offices and the office of administration by analyzing policy, conducting criminal justice research, managing programs, and administering grants. The six program offices include the Office of Adult and Juvenile Justice Assistance; Office of Community Corrections; Office of Domestic Violence and Sex Offender Management; Office of the Liaison for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives; Office of Research and Statistics; and Office for Victims Programs. 

Strength in Community: Stronger Together

Strength in Community: Stronger Together captures the essence of the Division of Criminal Justice's (DCJ) mission to foster safer, more equitable communities through collaboration and impactful programs. 

This campaign is a series of compelling video stories demonstrating the power of collaboration and the transformative impact of DCJ-funded initiatives. The stories highlight the critical role grant funding plays in fostering safer, healthier, and more connected communities across Colorado. 

DCJ works hand-in-hand with local agencies, nonprofits, law enforcement, and community leaders to address complex challenges such as public safety, rehabilitation, and prevention. It emphasizes that true progress happens when diverse stakeholders unite under a shared goal.  

From all four corners of Colorado, these stories will highlight the initiatives grantees throughout Colorado are creating and elevating a safer, healthier, and more inclusive Colorado.  

The city of Trinidad, as recipient of the Crime Prevention Through Safer Streets Grant, funding empowered the city to focus on transforming its community—making its public spaces safer, more welcoming, and accessible for everyone.
