BY O DEPUTY
The legislation requires that this plan be developed by the local Juvenile Justice Coordinating
Council. Contra Costa County's allocation for this purpose is $2,770,491.
The Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act requires that the local Juvenile Justice Coordinating
Council be chaired by the County 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 I Crime Prevention Act (JJCPA) will allow Contra Costa County
to maintain funding for significant children's services. Funding through JJCPA for fiscal year
,2006/2007 will allow for the conti I uation of many of the programs established during the initial
year of the grant. The following summarizes the programs proposed for continued funding
under JJCPA as well as those programs/services reduced due to revenue shortfall:
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 the past five years with funding from JJCPA. The
high school program places 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.
It is proposed that the high school remain fully funded for FY 06/07;
II. Deputy Probation Officers in Middle Schools Program
The Deputy Probation Officers in Middle Schools Program has been based on the high
school model to provide intensive supervision for offenders and an array of early
intervention and preventative services for at-risk youth. This program was initiated
during the first year of JJCPA funding. For FY 04/05 it was continued at a reduced
level. It is proposed that the middle school program remain funded at the FY 05/06
level for FY 06/07;
Ill. Community Probation Program
Continued JJCPA funding will allow the eight 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;
IV. Orin Allen Youth Rehabilitation Facility (OAYRF) Aftercare
It is proposed that the aftercare program at the OAYRF be continued at the FY 05/06
level. Three deputy probation officers will continue to provide close supervision and
support to minors for 90 days after their graduation from the OAYRF program;
V. Fee for Service Funding
For FY 05/06, funding for treatment was $100,000. This amount will be reduced by
$40,000 for FY 06/07 for a total of$60,000.
