2. History Our Board was established by the Virginia General Assembly in 1995 as a result of the development of regional jails and required community corrections plans. Derived from the Comprehensive Community Corrections Act and the Pretrial Services Act. Community Criminal Justice Boards are comprised of key criminal justice and community stakeholders. The Boards are mandated to prepare a Criminal Justice Plan following the requirements issued by the Department of Criminal Justice Services. The CCCJB follows the mandates set forth by the Code of Virginia along with the Joint Exercise Of Powers Agreement entered into by all localities. In 1994, the Virginia General Assembly passed legislation resulting in the creation of local Community Criminal Justice Boards. This decision to create local Community Criminal Justice Boards was derived from the Comprehensive Community Corrections Act and the Pretrial Services Act. All localities in Virginia that have a Community-Based Corrections Program are required to have a Community Criminal Justice Board. Community Criminal Justice Boards are comprised of key criminal justice and community stakeholders and are mandated to prepare a Criminal Justice Plan.
