Community Involvement Committee

The Community Involvement Committee of the Dutchess County Criminal Justice Council is sponsoring a forum to provide an update on the Justice & Transition Center (the new jail), the recent Stabilization Center, the CJC's annual report for 2017, and more.

The forum will take place on Thursday, May 24, at 1 pm at the Catharine Street Community Center.

Attendees are asked to RSVP to Shirly Adams by sending an e-mail to sadams@catharinecenter.org or calling 845-437-2272.

I hope that many folks from ENJAN can turn out to learn what's happening and to express our concerns!
