Hertfordshire is one of 42 Local Criminal Justice Boards (LCJB's) set up in April 2003 across England and Wales. The function of the LCJBs is to act as a co-ordinator for the agencies within the Criminal Justice System. These agencies are comprised of: The Police, The Prison Service, The Crown Courts, The Magistrates Courts, Youth Offending Teams, The National Probation Service and the Crown Prosecution Service.
Each organisation is represented by a Chief Officer who then make up the Board. It is the Boards job to ensure that all agencies are working together with the common aim of Building Safer Communities by delivering swifter and more effective Criminal Justice for Hertfordshire.
