The Public Safety Coordinating Council (PSCC) was established by the Leon County Board of County Commissioners in 2001. The Council has met regularly since that time to monitor the jail’s population as well as increase efforts of coordination between the many agencies of the criminal justice system. The PSCC serves as an advisory committee to the Board and makes recommendations to help alleviate overcrowding in the county jail. Recommendations may include the continuation or expansion of existing programs, the establishment of new programs, or other alternatives that may aid in the alleviation of jail crowding.

The PSCC, by statute, is comprised of the following individuals or their representatives:
State Attorney
Public Defender
Chief Circuit Judge
Chief County Judge
Sheriff
Chief of Police
One County Commissioner
County Probation Director

The PSCC meets the second Monday of every month at 4 p.m. in Commission Chambers on the 5th floor of the Leon County Courthouse.
