DeKalb County's Court Watch Training is sponsored by the Office of the DeKalb County Solicitor-General and the DeKalb County Police Department. The Court Watch goals include:

• Educating the community about how the court system works;
• Encouraging community members to attend and observe court hearings;
• Having input in the criminal justice process, which increases accountability;
• Representing the community's interest in the criminal justice system;
• Enhancing awareness among judges and prosecutors about the personal impacts of being crime victims, so that these issues can be taken into consideration in case prioritization and sentencing; and
• Developing better relationships between the courts, prosecutors, law enforcement and the community  

During the training, participants will have an opportunity to learn about and understand the important aspects of the criminal justice system in DeKalb County.  They will also have an opportunity to hear presentations from the Solicitor-General's office, DeKalb County Police Department, the Sheriff's Department, Superior and State Court Judges, Probation, and an active Court Watcher from a neighboring jurisdiction.
