Criminal Justice
Evaluation Services
The SANDAG Criminal Justice Research Division (CJRD) provides independent evaluation and research services for various public health and safety programs throughout San Diego County. The Division maintains cooperative relationships with local justice agencies which provide access to database records (police, prosecution, probation, and courts) necessary to conduct locally-funded studies and fulfill national research contract commitments.
The CJRD brings with it a wealth of knowledge and experience conducting independent project evaluations for public health and safety programs. In addition to our highly trained bilingual interviewers, we are able to program, analyze, and deliver high quality research at reasonable costs with personal, knowledgeable, and friendly service. We regularly translate our surveys into Spanish, and have experience interviewing in both English and Spanish.
