The Civil Citation Network is made up of creative and innovative communities striving to implement the latest criminal justice technologies and evidence based resources. If you want a way to improve the criminal justice system in your community, Civil Citation Network is perfect for you! .
Public Safety
Law enforcement officials remain on the street, available for more serious and/or violent crimes, rather than expending limited resources on first time, misdemeanor offenses.
Cost Savings
With fewer first time, non-violent misdemeanor offenders to process through the criminal justice system, resources can be focused on criminal acts that pose a real threat to public safety.
Accountability
Civil Citation Network is designed to provide the resources and tools needed for communities to extinguish criminal behavior, reduce recidivism, and eliminate barriers that inhibit an individual’s ability to function as a responsible and contributing member of society.
No Criminal Record
With the increasing competitive economy, the challenge of today’s workforce is to find a reliable job. Having a criminal record can cause serious setbacks and leaves employers hesitant to hire previous criminals.
