Community Representatives

Community Representatives play a vital role in shaping the criminal justice system in Charleston County. Through this role, they gain a deeper understanding of the criminal justice system.

As part of their work, Community Representatives participate in dedicated workgroups that research, analyze, and discuss data and policy. These workgroups foster collaboration between community members and local decision-makers, working together to create a more effective, fair, and just system for all.

To ensure diverse perspectives guide the CJCC’s initiatives, the twelve Community Representatives reflect a broad range of backgrounds and experiences. They also elect one of their own to serve as the third member of the CJCC Executive Committee.

By engaging in this process, Community Representatives gain insight into the criminal justice system.

The CJCC is seeking representation from the following three areas for the 2025—2027 term:

• Local Faith Community
• Local Survivor of Crime Community
• Local Previously Incarcerated Community
