    County Leaders Championing Justice Efforts in Local Communities

    Counties are directing resources to programs, practices and policies to reduce the overuse and misuse of the criminal legal system, improve public safety, better serve residents with behavioral health conditions and improve community stability and health. County elected officials are championing these efforts to improve community members’ access to justice and behavioral health services. This webinar will feature county leaders who participated in NACo’s County Justice Peer Learning Network (PLN) to discuss local efforts and impacts achieved, as well as lessons learned throughout. To learn more about the impact of the PLN, visit here.
