The mission of the Hampton-Newport News Criminal Justice Agency is to promote public safety through the provision of community based pretrial and post conviction programs. We provide research based prevention and intervention services with a commitment to changing the lives of our clientele; regardless of their past or present circumstances. We respect individual rights, strive to be fair, just, and responsive to the risks and needs of our clients. We are dedicated to creating and maintaining an active community partnership through professional services and new innovative ideas. We work in unison with the community to reduce recidivism and improve the quality of life for the residents of Hampton and Newport News.
Our vision is to become a leader among criminal justice agencies by ensuring the highest state of public safety by providing, promoting, and enhancing innovative and professionally administered model programs which break the cycle of crime and victimization. Get Involved
Each year, the CJA works with thousands of individuals living in Hampton and Newport News. With the number of clients we see, and the various scenarios we are presented with on a daily basis, the CJA provides a rich environment for all types of students wishing to develop a strong base of experience while still in school. We offer a wide variety of internships for serious, dedicated students. The importance and value of volunteer assistance is not wasted on the CJA. The clients we see live in our area neighborhoods and can benefit greatly from a positive volunteer presence. What better role model for a client than an individual helping in our offices simply because they want to?
