Subject:Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act Funding for FY 2011/2012
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
a Comprehensive Multi-agency Juvenile Justice Plan. The legislation requires that this
plan be developed by the local Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council, chaired by the
County Probation Officer. The Comprehensive Multi-agency Juvenile Justice Plan
developed by this body must be approved by the County Board of Supervisors. JJCPA
funding for fiscal year 2011/2012 will allow Contra Costa County to preserve funding for
most of the important children’s services that were established during the initial year of
the grant. The source of funding for the program will continue to be derived from state
vehicle license fees which will be allocated quarterly. As mentioned the estimated
allocation for Contra Costa County for 2011/2012is $2,437,705, but this number would
depend on the actual number of vehicles registered in the State of California during the
year. Further, continued funding is an unresolved State issue dependent upon current tax
extensions or other resolution. The following summarizes the programs proposed for
continued funding under JJCPA: I. Deputy Probation Officers in High Schools Program
Initially funded through Challenge Grant I, the Deputy Probation Officers in High
Schools Program has been continued with funding from JJCPA. The high school program
places probation officers in selected high schools to provide supervision and intervention
services for juvenile offenders and other at-risk youth. The program stresses collaboration
among schools, police agencies and Probation to provide supervision and treatment
services for youth. II. Community Probation Program Continued JJCPA funding will
allow Deputy Probation Officers currently out-stationed in various police agencies
throughout the County to continue their focus on high risk youth, at-risk youth and
chronic offenders. The Deputy Probation Officers implementing this program work
non-traditional hours and collaborate closely with police agencies, schools and
community-based organizations to help prevent offending behavior and provide
appropriate accountability. III. Orin Allen Youth Rehabilitation Facility (OAYRF)
Aftercare Deputy Probation Officers will continue to provide close supervision and
support to minors for 180 days after their graduation from the OAYRF program. IV. Fee
for Service Funding. The purposed amount of funding set aside for community based
treatment services in FY 10/11 was $20,725.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Absent this funding from the State of California, the County would suffer a reduction in
deliquency prevention and supervison services previously available for juveniles in
Contra Costa County.
