BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Officer and that the Comprehensive Multi-agency Juvenile Justice plan developed by this body be approved by the
Board of Supervisors. Funding from the Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act (JJCPA) will allow Contra Costa
County to maintain funding for significant children's services. Funding through JJCPA for fiscal year 2014/2015 will
allow for the continuation of funding for most of the important children's services established during the initial year
of the grant. 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 and special necessary schools to provide supervision and intervention and
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 It is proposed that the aftercare
program at the OAYRF be continued. Aftercare deputy probation officers will continue to provide close supervision
and support to minors after their graduation from the OAYRF program.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Absent this funding from the State of California, the County would suffer a reduction in delinquency prevention and
supervision services previously available for juveniles in Contra Costa County.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The Probation Department would no longer be able to fund delinquency prevention for certain juveniles within
Contra Costa County.
