WATCH
Mission:
WATCH was created in 1992 as a community response to newspaper reports of a lax, revolving-door justice system which failed to process cases of sexual assault and domestic abuse effectively. Volunteers, recognized by their red clipboards, are trained to monitor these cases as they move through the Hennepin County criminal justice system. WATCH now serves as a national model for court-monitoring programs in other jurisdictions.
