Additional information

The newly structured Family and Social Justice Section encompasses the "Family Justice Group," "Social Justice Unit" and the "Clinical Support Unit". It will provide specific services to members of the community who would be better served through a social justice approach than what could be afforded to them through a conventional criminal justice approach. By bringing professional staff and specialists together, we are committed to providing vulnerable members of the community with a stronger sense of belonging through customized support, while enhancing the public's trust.
