NC ALLIES Client Tracking User Guide

Document Overview

The North Carolina Division of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) partners with the Juvenile Crime Prevention Councils (JCPC) in each county to galvanize community leaders, locally and statewide, to reduce and prevent juvenile crime. DJJ allocates approximately 22 million dollars to these councils annually. Funding is used to support local programs and services. This document is designed to help the North Carolina County Community Program users create a North Carolina Identity Management (NCID) account, register as a NC ALLIES user and log into NC ALLIES.
