Janet Reinman

Juvenile Services Director

The Juvenile Services Department is designed to provide services to juvenile offenders as a voluntary alternative to the Judicial Court System.  These referrals are typically first time non-violent offenses that the District Attorney has determined as appropriate.  Non-system referrals to the program may include; students identified as potential dropouts, truancy or runaways, or youth having problems at home.  The services include restitution and apology to victims, community service, drug and alcohol screenings and needs assessments, counseling and monitoring for compliance.  Referrals to other agencies for addtional resources are common.  The objective of the program is to address the needs of the total child along with the legal problem.  Accountability and responsibility for the youth's actions is emphasized and skill building is supported or enhanced is areas such as decision making, refusal skills and understanding laws.  Crisis and family counseling is attended to as needed.  When a youth completes the Juvenile Diversion program, the District Attorney will dismiss the case and no legal charges are filed and no court record will remain on file.
