Snohomish County is looking for people from historically-marginalized communities to fill six newly-created positions on the county’s Law and Justice Regional Council (Law and Justice Council).
Members of the council serve in an advisory capacity to the county council on matters related to the county’s law and justice system, according to a press release from Snohomish County. Other groups already represented on the council include law enforcement, public defense, prosecutors, courts, juvenile justice and elected officials
“These positions were created to ensure that the communities that have been harmed or underserved by the justice system are heard and have equitable say in discussions about the law and justice system in our community,” the release states.
The Law and Justice Council also forms subcommittees from time-to-time to evaluate and research criminal justice subjects, as well as serving as “a focal point for information sharing by law and justice task forces and/or committees,” according to the release.
Those interested in finding out more can visit the Snohomish County website, according to the release, and applications are also available online.
