Welcome to Essex Criminal Justice Board (ECJB)
Essex Criminal Justice Board (ECJB) was launched in April 2003 to transform the way the criminal justice system works to catch, convict and rehabilitate more criminals in Essex, making the county a safer place in which to live and work.
This website has been designed for you, the people whose lives we aim to make a difference to. We hope that it is informative, interesting and helps you to understand how the criminal justice system works and to share in the local successes of the new improved system.
We hope you will regularly view the site to check on local performance and find out about new initiatives and programmes. We will use the site to provide information on forthcoming and past events as well as useful links to partner agencies.
From this one source you should be able to find out information and contact details for all aspects of the criminal justice process whether you are a victim, witness or simply an interested member of the local community. Please use the menu on the left to navigate your way through the website.
