Membership
CIJDC has grown from 6 member counties to 31 members and 20 affiliates by providing great service at the absolute lowest costs. Since the completion of the larger, state of the art building, CIJDC is offering membership to counties. Membership is FREE! and is a great way to save THOUSANDS of dollars immediately from your county budget.
Membership/Affiliation is a very simple process, local county boards pass a resolution to request membership with CIJDC, at the next commission meeting CIJDC board votes to approve membership or affiliation.
