Background and Rationale
body
This strategic priority underscores Ramsey County’s commitment to reducing interactions with the justice system, particularly for individuals from the most underserved communities. Ramsey County’s approach emphasizes the use of social services and public health interventions as the primary response, reserving justice system involvement only when diversion efforts are not successful.
Ramsey County’s strategy focuses on improving outcomes for those most impacted by the current system. Ramsey County aims to collaborate with community members and system leaders to identify and remove systemic barriers, while investing in proven, effective solutions that foster safer and healthier communities.
This presentation is a continuation and conclusion of the Strategic Board Workshop: Putting Well-Being and Community at the Center of Justice System Transformation held on May 27, 2025.
