Department of Juvenile Justice
What is the purpose of the department?
What activities are performed by the department?
The department’s activities include the following.
Prevention Services provides voluntary services and programs designed to reduce juvenile crime and protect public safety by contracting for delinquency prevention services and awarding grants to local providers. Programs target youth who exhibit problem behaviors such as ungovernability, truancy, running away from home, and other pre-delinquent behaviors. Detention Services provides custody, supervision, education and mental health/substance abuse and medical services to juveniles who are held pursuant to a court order, or who have been arrested for a violation of the law. Probation and Community Intervention works with youth from the time they are arrested to the time they transition back into the community. Each youth is assigned a juvenile probation officer who monitors compliance and helps the youth connect with service providers. Residential Services provides continued care for adjudicated youth who are committed to the custody of the department.
