The purpose of this chapter shall be to provide organizations, citizens, officials, and residents with a mechanism for filing complaints of a non-criminal nature about community-based programs for alleged or adjudicated Persons in Need of Supervision (PINS), delinquent offenders, or alleged or convicted adult offenders (also referred to in this chapter as "court-involved persons"). These procedures are intended to ensure the timely investigation and review of complaints.
The provisions of this chapter shall provide a clearinghouse for monitoring the extent and nature of non-criminal complaints about community-based residential facilities for court involved persons, and a mechanism to ensure that non-criminal investigations involving multiple District agencies are conducted in a timely, responsive, and coordinated fashion.
The procedures set forth in this chapter shall apply to complaints received by the Office of Criminal Justice Plans and Analysis (also referred to in this chapter as the "OCJPA") concerning publicly or privately operated community-based residential facilities housing District court involved persons. OCJPA shall maintain a listing of all of this type of facility known to the District government and the listing shall be available for public review.
Complaints concerning facilities housing District residents located outside of the District shall be accepted and pursued in cooperation with the appropriate jurisdiction.
