The grant program was divided into two phases: planning ($2 million) and implementation (over $45 million). Planning grants are available to assist counties in developing Local Action Plans consisting of strategies for reducing juvenile crime and delinquency. Contra Costa County has a Local Action Plan in place in the form of the Continuum of Care model, developed over the last several years through the efforts of the Juvenile Systems Planning Advisory Committee (JSPAC), County officials and concerned citizens. The Continuum of Care model includes a comprehensive system of graduated sanctions and treatment interventions that place youth in the least restrictive appropriate intervention, while providing sufficient supervision to protect public safety. With the Local Action Plan formulated, Contra Costa County will use planning grant funds to identify and prioritize unfunded Continuum programs that would have the greatest impact on reducing juvenile crime and delinquency and develop implementation plans for high priority programs. Some such programs may include Probation Officers on school campuses, intensive supervision, ranch expansion, and a multi-jurisdictional girls' residential program. Planning Grant applications are due on November 15, 1996. Implementation Grant applications are due on March 14, 1996. Probation/Schools Partnership Pilot Program One Continuum program already identified by the Juvenile Court and the Probation Department as a high priority is the assignment of Probation Officers on school campuses to supervise and intervene in selected cases, in collaboration with schools and local law enforcement. The Probation Department would like to begin a pilot program in January 1997 placing Probation Officers on school campuses in each major area of the County: East, West and Central. To be competitive in the State's Challenge Grant program, it would be helpful to assess the effectiveness of high-priority Continuum programs. Grant funds could serve to continue and/or expand the Probation/Schools Partnership.
