This division is structured into specialized branches such as Case Management, Special Proceedings, Quality Assurance, and Courtroom Support. Moreover, the Criminal Division supervises problem-solving courts that aim to address criminal behavior by integrating justice system resources with community support. These specialized courts, including the DC Community Court and Mental Health Community Court, focus on accountability, rehabilitation, and enhancing community safety while administering fair justice. Within the Criminal Division, law enforcement officers can access a variety of criminal forms and resources tailored to different districts. From mental health court case management plans to FAQs and procedures for crime victims compensation refunds, these resources are designed to support efficient and effective handling of criminal matters in the District of Columbia.
