Welcome to the West Virginia Division of Justice and Community Services...

As part of our ongoing mission and commitment to assist criminal and juvenile justice agencies and local government, we are in the process of revising and improving our website. The enhancements to our online presence will better serve the public and criminal justice professionals with research and performance data, available grants and funding, training and technical assistance information and recent or past analytical studies that spotlight elements of the criminal justice system in our state.

The Division also provides regulatory oversight of basic and annual in-service law enforcement training and certification; community corrections; law enforcement response to domestic violence; and, juvenile detention facility standards compliance.

Your interactive participation is anticipated and welcomed. Please contact us with your comments, suggestions or questions. A member of my staff or I will respond as quickly as possible.

Sincerely,
J. Norbert Federspiel, Director
