Thank you for visiting the Brevard County Criminal Justice Services Website. We hope that you find your stop here informative and helpful.

Criminal Justice Services provides administration, manages and develops appropriate community correctional programs, and administers the required level of supervision needed to enhance safety for our community.

We also make presentations to schools and other organizations regarding the many facets of the criminal justice system and our various roles.

We realize that the criminal justice system can seem quite overwhelming and that some individuals who are in this system may feel lost or confused. That is why our forty -nine (49) employees and seventy-five (75) volunteers work hard to provide a friendly and caring environment, while maintaining the highest ethical standards. The Criminal Justice Services staff are professionally trained and strive to make each encounter as stress-free and productive as possible.

It is our pleasure to be of service to the citizens of Brevard County!
