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. 4-19-06 JJCPA BoS Rec FY 06-0 2
