Anthony (Tony) Williams has been appointed to the Criminal Justice Services Board (CJSB) by Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin. The CJSB is the policy board for the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS).
"It is my sincerest honor to accept this appointment by Governor Youngkin,” said Williams. “In my years of service to the Commonwealth and Virginia localities, I have and continue to work closely with our law enforcement officers. The Board is the approving authority for regulations DCJS promulgates pursuant to the Code of Virginia and the Administrative Process Act and it approves most of the grants DCJS awards to localities, state agencies and private non-profit organizations. The Board also provides guidance and feedback to DCJS in fulfilling its wide-ranging responsibilities."
The Criminal Justice Services Board has 28 members who represent all aspects of the criminal justice system, both state and local, as well as the private security industry, the public-at-large and the General Assembly.
