Subject:Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Probation 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 significant children's services. JJCPA funds for fiscal year 2015/2016 will allow for
the continuation of the important children's services established during the initial year of the grant. The following
summarizes the programs proposed for ongoing funding under JJCPA: I. The Deputy Probation Officers in High
Schools Program initially funded through the Challenge Grant I. The Deputy Probation Officers in High Schools
Program has been continued with funding from JJCPA. The high school program places Deputy Probation Officers in
selected high schools and special necessary 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. The Community Probation Program continued with
JJCPA funding will allow Deputy Probation Officers currently 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.
The Orin Allen Youth Rehabilitation Facility (OAYRF) Aftercare is recommended for continuation. Aftercare Deputy
Probation Officers will provide community 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 youth in Contra Costa County.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
This program funds delinquency prevention for certain juveniles within Contra Costa County.
