The Legislature declares that the policy of the State of Nebraska is that there shall be a coordinated effort to (1) establish community correctional programs across the state in order to divert adult felony offenders from the prison system and (2) provide necessary supervision and services to adult felony offenders with the goal of reducing the probability of criminal behavior while maintaining public safety. To further such policy, the Community Corrections Division is created within the Nebraska Commission on Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice. The director shall appoint and remove employees of the division and delegate appropriate powers and duties to such employees.
