The Criminal Justice Oversight Council is charged with:

  • assessing outcomes from recommendations established by the Commission on Sentencing and corresponding criminal justice reforms
  • requesting, receiving and reviewing data and reports on performance outcome data relating to criminal justice reform

The council also must examine the feasibility of creating and maintaining a public portal through which criminal justice data can be accessed, including data on court case filings, correctional populations, and historical legacy data sets. The Department of Corrections assists in supplying the requested information, as well as in identifying barriers to data sharing and potential solutions.
