Pueblo of Jemez CTAS Area 3 Tribal Justice System

The Pueblo of Jemez is a federally recognized tribe in Sandoval County, New Mexico. With this funding, the Jemez Tribal Court will implement the following goals: increase the capacity and capabilities of the Tribal Court by recruiting, hiring, and retaining essential probation services and victim services personnel; increase court options, sentencing, confinement, and reentry alternatives by enhancing the intensive outpatient program and reentry support services with service partners; improve victim services by creating a court-based victim advocacy program and mapping victim rights to Pueblo, state, and federal laws; and enhance allied service partner relationships by developing collaboration policies for coordinated referral and service delivery systems, co-develop culturally relevant programs for victims and offenders, and conduct mandatory cross-training. The Jemez Tribal Court will use Bureau of Justice Assistance - Tribal Justice System funding to fill the vacant Probation Officer and a new Victim Advocate/Specialist position. This includes training and personnel development support to attend BJA-funded capacity-building training for judicial, probation, victim services, and court personnel.
