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.

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.
