Our Mission...
The mission of the Juvenile Probation and Juvenile Diversion Departments are to serve the welfare of children and their families within a sound framework of public safety. The Departments are committed to providing the guidance, structure and services needed by every child under its supervision. In partnership with the community, the Juvenile Probation and Juvenile Diversion Officers direct delinquent and unruly children toward reforming their behavior and making responsible decisions.
The Juvenile Probation and Juvenile Diversion Departments operate under the following objectives:
To pursue a treatment/rehabilitation philosophy that dictates each minor be assessed individually and receive services tailored to meet that minor’s needs.
To provide its services on an outreach basis, sending probation and diversion officers into the community to offer assistance and supervision in minors’ homes, schools, and neighborhoods.
To establish strong working relationships between probation and diversion officers and minors to make their court involvement an opportunity for change and growth.
To respond effectively to the increasingly complex needs of children, encouraging the involvement of parents and enlisting the support of the community.
To assist the court in developing interventions which serve the needs of the minor and facilitate the restoration of the victim and of the community.
To employ a flexible supervision approach by assessing the needs of the minor versus the public safety risk factors. This approach ranges from bi-monthly supervision to intensive daily monitoring of children restricted to home confinement.
To strengthen family ties whenever possible. However, probation and diversion officers will recommend the court remove children from their homes if their safety or the security of the public is jeopardized by their continued presence.
To instill in all children a sense of responsibility for their actions and a belief in their own innate value and potential through a combination of individualized attention and community networking.
In order to meet these objectives, the Juvenile Probation and Juvenile Diversion Departments have developed innovative programs and initiatives.
