Government and Public Affairs

The Government and Public Affairs Office monitors, tracks, and conducts research and the effects of legislation and how policies affect the Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections (ADJC). This office takes a proactive approach to research in order to determine what changes through legislation could be advantageous versus what could provide a negative impact to the way adjudicated youth are housed and treated while in the custody of the juvenile justice system.

This office is also responsible to provide internal and external communications in order to provide continuity to the public, legislators and ADJC staff.
