Winooski Community Justice Center

Description

We assist community members with information, referral, and access to other community resources. The Winooski Police Department, through its Community Justice Center, supports active involvement by Winooski citizens in resolving conflict, preventing crime, and providing support to individuals affected by crime. The Winooski Community Justice Center is dedicated to offering restorative approaches to community conflict and crime in Winooski.

At its core, restorative justice is about viewing crime as a harm to people, relationships, and the community. It focuses on meeting the needs of those affected (affected party), and holding the person responsible for the harm (responsible party) accountable for their actions and impact.
