The general assembly hereby declares that it is the
purpose of this article to establish and maintain community corrections programs which provide
the courts, the department of corrections, and the state board of parole with more flexibility and
a broader range of correctional options for offenders under the jurisdiction of such entities. It is
the further purpose of this article to increase public safety and promote community-based
correctional programming through collaboration between the state of Colorado and local units of
government. It is also the purpose of this article to give local units of government the authority
to designate the programs, boards, and networks established under this article to address local
criminal justice needs with resources other than those appropriated pursuant to this article.
