- Be sensitive and responsive to individual victims and their families
- Provide individualized justice for the offenders
- Hold those accountable who fail to meet their obligations as parents, guardians, or custodians
- Be a leader in the effective and cost-efficient utilization of community resources for the treatment of children and families
- Demand high professional standards for ourselves and make every effort possible to demand the same standards from other governmental agencies and service providers
- Strive to recognize and eliminate implicit bias and racial inequities
- We must pursue these goals vigorously and honestly with the utmost respect for the right of all our citizens.
