Liaison Partnership Information

The state CJI Program recognizes the importance of building relationships that enable us to support each other.
 
To accomplish its mission, the state CJI Program will continue to develop strong relationships with local teams to better understand and support the work they are doing, successes they are celebrating, and challenges they may be facing.
 
Each county in Minnesota has been assigned a dedicated point of contact from the state CJI Program who can serve as a resource for them and their local CJI team.
 
To learn more about CJI Liaison Partnership and find a list of liaisons assigned to each county, refer to the Handout – Children’s Justice Initiative (CJI) Liaison Partnership Information.
