Official Responsible for Project Signature: Date: April 8, 2002 Typed Name: Steven L. Bautista Title:__ Co�mt� Probation Officer Coordinated Enforcement Plan Narrative Contra Costa County Probation Department Problem Statement This JAIBG application is to fund a Juvenile Drug Court in the Eastern area of Contra Costa County. The proposal reflects (a) a growing need for drug treatment in the county and particularly for additional services in the East County area and (b) the proven success of a similar Juvenile Drug Court in West Contra Costa County. Target Population As Contra Costa County is a continuously growing community, the juvenile arrest rate for drug-related offenses has also grown considerably over the past few years. Recent data from the State of California Department of Finance shows that juvenile misdemeanor arrests in Contra Costa County for drug-related offenses increased 486 percent between 1990 and 1998. A recent profile of Contra Costa County youth participating in the JJCPA 2000 Community Probation program from July 1, 2001 to present revealed that 57 percent of these juveniles had a drug problem and 39 percent had an alcohol problem. Half of the juveniles in the Community Probation program received drug and/or alcohol counseling while in the program. Likewise, recent data on approximately 1,000 youth participating in a federal grant program suggests that 55 percent had indications of substance abuse, 50 percent reported alcohol use and over 60 percent had used marijuana. Hence, a rising need for juvenile drug treatment programs, like the Contra Costa County Drug Court, has emerged. With the continued success of the drug court in West County, a similar program in East County would benefit juveniles that region. Currently, (as of March 22, 2002), 121 East County juveniles are on general probation supervision, 108 are on school deputy caseloads and 95 are on Community Probation caseloads. An average of 136 youth are referred to Probation each month in East County. The total youth population in Contra Costa County has shown a steady increase during the past decade. Youth in East County account for over 30 percent of the total youth in the county. During the ten-year period between 1990 and 2000, the youth population (ages 10-17) rose nearly 35 percent. During a similar period (1992-2002), the 1 average daily population of Juvenile Hall rose nearly 13 percent. Between January 1, 2002 and February 28, 2002, Juvenile Hall intakes consisted of 123 (34 percent) from East County, 144 from West County and 86 Central County offenders. The Probation :Department now deals with over 3,250 referrals annually and actively supervises over 2,000 juvenile offenders. A profile of juvenile offenders in custody at the Contra Costa County Juvenile Hall on February 3, 1999, revealed that almost half the boys polled lived with a single parent prior to intake while only 25 percent lived in a two-parent household. The majority of the boys polled indicated they had some sort.of school problem, including truancy, frequent absenteeism and disciplinary suspensions. Risk factors identified for youth in the Hall ranged from behavioral problems and household difficulties to drug abuse. Almost 30 percent of the population had indications of some sort of emotional difficulty. Difficulties in the home environment included the fact that 36 percent indicated that either a parent or sibling was involved in gang activity. Over 50 percent of the boys surveyed had parents who have been involved in the criminal justice system. Likewise, a large percentage indicated that either their parents or siblings had substance abuse issues. Parental unemployment was indicated as a common risk factor in 45 percent of the cases, while 22 percent indicated that they had domestic violence issues in the home. A later study conducted in the summer of 2001 showed the following about youth in East Contra Costa County on field supervision: nearly 30 percent of these juveniles had a history of child abuse and half (50 percent) had indications of emotional difficulties. Academic challenges among these youth were common with 78 percent of the juveniles indicating behavior and/or grade problems in school, 60 percent with poor attendance records and 55 percent were behind in grade level. Delinquency characteristics were also prevalent as 56 percent of the juveniles had prior delinquent behavior and another 35 percent had parents or siblings involved in the criminal justice system. A recent profile of girls involved with the juvenile justice system indicated that, compared to boys, the girls' population tended to have less of a problem with drug abuse and physically aggressive behavior. However, girls have a much higher occurrence of 2 emotional and mental health problems. While only five percent of the boys surveyed had been suspected victims of sexual or physical abuse, 22 percent of the girls were suspected victims of abuse. .Also, a large percentage (45 percent) of the girls' sample had indications of emotional difficulty compared to the boys. Statistics from an East County girls' (ages 12-18) day treatment program show that many girls in both the treatment and control groups (35 and 33 percent respectively) have reported drug problems at intake and some (18 and 24 percent respectively) have problems with alcohol. With regards to delinquency characteristics, over half of the girls in both the treatment and control groups were wards of the court and had committed criminal offenses prior to intake and 32 percent of treatment clients and 15 percent of control group clients had been assigned institutional commitment. This data suggests substance abuse issues, behavior problems at home and school and high-risk behaviors are significant among female and male target clients in Contra Costa County. To address the needs of the target population, Contra Costa County has developed a Local Action Plan for Juvenile Justice that addresses a broad continuum of care. Services are provided through a multitude of collaborative projects that address a variety of purpose areas. Among the programs providing service and support of other purpose areas are: • Major funding from state and federal construction grants toward the construction of 240 new Juvenile Hall beds. • Establishment of a day reporting facility to transition youngsters back into the community after their release from the Probation Department's camp program. • Challenge Grant I placing juvenile probation officers on high school campuses throughout Contra Costa County. • Challenge Grant II establishing school and day reporting services for girls in three regions of the county. • A SafeFutures grant was secured that facilitated collaboration with Mental Health Services and the County Superintendent of Schools Office to provide a residential mental health treatment program for boys, aftercare programs for youth leaving custody, mentoring programs, gang intervention programs and elementary school interventions. 3 • A twenty-bed mental health treatment facility for girls was established in partnership with the Mental Health Department and County Superintendent of Schools Office. • Probation partnered with Health Services' Community Substance Abuse Services, Mental Health Services and Superior Court to provide a juvenile drug court program in West County. Beyond already established programs, Contra Costa County received funding for a variety of program enhancements through the Schiff-Cardenas Crime Prevention Act of 2000 (JJCPA). JJCPA funding sustains Challenge Grant I and SafeFutures programs already in place, and facilitated the expansion of our Challenge Grant I program to several middle schools. This program has built strong partnerships and allowed for collaborative efforts in dealing with delinquency and school related issues. A community probation program has also been established wherein probation officers work closely with selected police agencies, focusing on high-risk youth and chronic, offenders. The program relies heavily on collaboration and communication between probation, police, schools and community resources to provide services. Through the Family Intervention in Substance Abuse Program probation'officers provide early intervention services to drug offending parents and their children. These early intervention services focus on the family in general and specifically those at-risk youngsters living in the home. In Comprehensive Strategy planning sessions during the past five years, the countywide planning has consistently placed the highest priority in substance abuse services for the juvenile justice system. The most recent meeting, on September 2001, reaffirmed this priority and added increased services to East County as a priority. Drug courts flow logically from these priorities. Studies show that drug courts are generally more successful than other forms of supervision in monitoring drug offenders and reducing recidivism rates among these offenders. Drug courts throughout the country consistently have a higher retention rate of criminal offenders than other treatment programs and, as such, are able to provide more services to more people and for longer .periods. Studies also show that drug courts often save jail costs and costs in probation supervision and police overtime by reducing incarceration time in the reduction of recidivism. 4 JA►IBG proposal The East County Juvenile Drug Court will be modeled in some respects on the existing program in West County. On May 1, 2002 the Contra Costa County Juvenile Drug Court in West County will be two years old. According to Kevin Charles, Program Coordinator, the Court will have assessed 180 to 200 teenagers for the program. By March 21, 2002, the court had admitted seventy teenagers to the program and graduated nine. The program continues to retain over half of the youth admitted to the drug court and also meet the goals of the court, which include, but are not limited to: 'successful program completion, reduced recidivism, non-escalation of criminal behavior into more serious offenses, lengthy recovery, improved functioning in the family, school, and, community, enhanced school attendance and performance and enhanced vocational skills and employability. Recent statistics show that only 12 percent of clients have been re- arrested, which exceeds the drug court's initial goal of a 25 percent re-arrest rate. Additionally, the drug court has met and maintained its goal that 75 percent of clients will remain drug free throughout the program. In the East County Juvenile Drug Court proposed here, we anticipate serving a minimum of 30 youth during the first year of operation. This number anticipates the start- up issues that will need to be addressed. The JAIBG grant will allow for the implementation of the core of this drug court program. Other sources of funding are being pursued by the Probation Department and the Juvenile Court to enrich the treatment services provided for participants. (The juvenile drug court is a return to rehabilitating minors through early intervention.) Rather than closing the cases of young offenders with warnings, law enforcement refers these offenders to the probation department where their cases are appropriately processed instead of being closed informally or allowing them to remain open for extended periods of time. Clients who opt to participate in juvenile drug court are automatically sentenced as wards of the court for one year of treatment. Treatment is a highly structured after school program occurring up to four days per week. There is also residential treatment, where the juveniles return to the drug court's dedicated treatment program for aftercare, if needed. Upon completion, probation is completed and the juveniles can withdraw their guilty pleas and have their records sealed. Choosing to 5 participate in juvenile drug court is a much more rigorous path than previous systems and admission to the program is based primarily on the family of the offender pursuing this path. The grant will fund four components of the East County Juvenile Drug Court. One is a deputy probation officer (DPO) position. The DPO assigned to the program will work closely with the court, schools, the District Attorney, treatment providers, local police agencies and other involved parties to provide intensive supervision services for those youngsters in the drug court program. Emphasis will be placed on work with the families, close collaboration with the schools to ensure attendance, regular drug and alcohol testing and close monitoring of participants' treatment plans. The DPO will participate in the screening and referral process, will attend court hearings and provide information to the court as appropriate. Approximately $3,308 of the grant will also provide funding fora computer, printer, phone and office furniture for the�use of the drug court DPO. Part ($15,000) of the grant will be used to provide drug and alcohol testing for program participants, which is an essential part of the treatment process. Finally, a portion of the grant will be used to provide additional treatment services including assessment and referral processing, individual and group substance abuse counseling, treatment plan development, liaison with probation and other collaborative partners, family counseling and contributing to the case management process. Other contract services may include training in pro-social norms, tutoring and job readiness training. Once assured of JAIBG funding, the Probation Department will issue an RFP for treatment services and follow up with 1b OUs with successful applicants. Project Goals and Objectives The overall purpose of this program will be to establish a juvenile drug court which will, consistent with the intention of JAIBG Purpose Area 9, provide continuing judicial supervision over juvenile offenders with substance abuse problems and provide for integrated administration of other sanctions and services. Objective # 1: The East County Juvenile Drug Court will begin taking clients by September 1. In implementing this program, Contra Costa County will establish regular 6 juvenile court sessions for review of East County cases, assign a full time probation officer to supervise and test youth on the caseload and arrange for treatment services suited to the needs of the wards on the caseload. Objective #2: The East County Juvenile Drug Court will supervise at least thirty (30) minors during its first year of operation. We believe this is a reasonable number for the first year of operation, since implementation will require development of policies and procedures (including referral criteria), hiring or transfer of staff and contracting for treatment services. We anticipate that the numbers of clients will grow in subsequent years. Objective 3: Less than 30% of East County Drug Court clients will be rearrested for technical violations and less than 20% will be rearrested for new law violations during the period of Juvenile Court supervision. This objective recognizes that the heightened probation supervision for drug court cases may well result initially, in an increase in technical violations, but also hypothesizes that this increased supervision will keep new law violations at a relatively low level. As noted earlier, the West County juvenile drug court set---and far surpassed—a goal of no more than 25% of cases rearrested. Objective 4: At least 75% of East County Drug Court cases will remain drug free and either in school or employed during the period of supervision. This objective reflects our approach to working with the "whole child." The DPO assigned to the program will work closely with the youth and their parents to insure that all key domains in the minors' lives are addressed. Completion of school and/or gainful employment are important bolsters to resistance to drug use. 7 WAIVER JUSTIFICATION The Juvenile Systems Planning Advisory Committee was established by the Board of Supervisors in 1992 to develop strategies to replace or improve the antiquated Juvenile Hall and to improve the entire range of sanctions and services in the Juvenile Justice System. The Juvenile Systems Planning Advisory Committee's 1999 Local Action Plan for Juvenile Justice supports the JCEC's decision that in the interest of public safety and juvenile crime control, Contra Costa County would be better served by expending JAI13G funds in a proportion other than the 45% and 35%minimums. More appropriate is devoting 100%of the$173,095 one year allocation,plus the$19,233 cash match($192,328 project total) in order to fund an East County Juvenile Drug Court in support of Purpose Area 9. The JCEC recognizes the need for the services provided by a Juvenile Drug Court and that this service fills an important gap in the existing continuum of care. At a meeting held on April 5, 2002, the application for funding for this program was endorsed by the Juvenile Crime Enforcement Coalition. Contra Costa County has secured funding from state and federal sources to build 240 new juvenile hall beds. This project will enhance the County's ability to provide accountability for juvenile offenders. The County has also actively pursued grant funding through the Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act to provide a continuum of accountability-based sanctions for youth, including a family intervention program, deputy probation officers in high schools, deputy probation officers in middle schools, an intensive community probation program in collaboration with local police agencies, and funding for Probation staff in an intensive mental health treatment program. In addition,the County has successfully implemented a juvenile drug court model in - 8 - western portion of the County. The establishment of an East County Juvenile Drug Court will provide accountability,intensive supervision and treatment services for juvenile offenders evidencing significant substance abuse issues. This project will serve as a vital component to the County's overall strategy in holding juvenile offenders accountable and reducing recidivism. -9- JAiBC WWNII.E CRIME ENFORCEMENT COALITION MEMBERS" Applicant: Contra Costa County Implementing Agency(f applicable): Contra Costa County Probation Department Project Title: Juvenile Accountability, East County Juvenile Drug Court Grant Number(to be entered by the Office of Criminal Justice Planning): Provide the name,title, organization, address, and telephone number for each of the eight member categories below.

Probation Officer. The case management of the drug court.participants will require the efforts of fully supported deputy probation officer. The cost of a fully supported probation officer includes the efforts of a supervisor, a'manager and a senior level clerk. The department uses a span of supervision ratio of 8 to I for probation supervisors, and 40 to 1 for probation managers (who spend approximately 50% of their time in operations, and 50% in administration). The clerical support ratio is 10 deputies to 1 clerk. .Equipment: The deputy probation officer will be provided with a standard modular desk set and chair, a telephone, a personal computer and a printer. Testing,Services: Participants in treatment will be tested approximately 3 times per week. Acknowledging that the program will not start at full capacity, we estimate the number of testing kits used will be 3,000. We also estimate that approximately 10% of the kit tests will result in the necessity of a laboratory test, so 340 of them are budgeted. Treatment,Services: We estimate that 50%of the juveniles assessed will be accepted into the program, so to end up with 30 participants we are budgeting for 60 assessments. Group counseling sessions will be conducted 4 times per week for the 43 weeks from September 1, 2002 to June 30, 2003. Thus the budget is for 172 sessions at $240 each. We also estimate that each participant will receive 5 individual counseling sessions during treatment. Thus we are budgeting for 150 sessions at $100 each. BUDGET CATEGORY AND LINE-TTEM DETAIL A.
