Longmont Community Justice Partnership
(LCJP) is a 501(c)3 agency in existence since 1994. The mission
of
LCJP is
to
cultivate attitudes, skills, and opportunities for living
peacefully with self, others and the world. LCJP offers restorative
justice services. Resorative justice is a process whereby
the parties with a stake in a particular offense come together
to resolve collectively how to deal with the aftermath of
the offense and its implications for the future. LCJP's
restorative justice services are provided for Longmont and
the St. Vrain
Valley School District and bring clear accountability for
wrongdoing within a context of care and compassion. Through
face to face, restorative processes, there is voice for victims,
increased empathy by offenders, and empowerment of our community
to solve its own problems.
Personnel
LCJP currently employs 6 staff, with 105 volunteers.
Agency staff will be available to assist with domestic
violence related restorative justice. Bilingual services
are available.
Education
The agency currently has agency speakers to address the issues
of violence prevention and restorative justice. Restorative
justice brings together persons directly involved in criminal
events to determine what harm has been done and what needs
to be done to repair the harm. Brochures and packets are
available on restorative justice practices.
Direct Services
Facilitation of restorative processes are held at LCJP office
and the Safety and Justice Center. Processes are scheduled
at the convenience of victims. Victims or offenders
may initiate restorative justice services. Office hours
are 9am until 5pm Monday-Friday.
Financial
Offenders are responsible for payment of $75. Financial
assistance is available.
