Summary

Department of Juvenile Justice Services is a comprehensive public service agency that performs more than the traditional Juvenile Court functions of probation and detention. The department also provides intervention services, guidance and daily supervision for youth ages 18 and under who are involved in delinquency and truancy.

We strive to ensure a safe community through partnerships involving youth, families, and community stakeholders. Our mission is to promote the safety and restoration of the community; hold juvenile offenders accountable for their behavior; and assist offenders and families in recognizing their potential by providing meaningful treatment, services and programs.

Juvenile Justice probation officers are primarily assigned to three divisions; Detention, Probation or the Spring Mountain Youth Camp. Officers will supervise the daily living, social, educational and treatment of youth; maintain sight and sound supervision of groups of juvenile detainees in a locked facility; monitor family visits; provide direct field supervision of juvenile offenders including home and school visits, manage court ordered conditions of probation; and counsel and advise youth and their families regarding pertinent personal, social, educational, financial, vocational and health matters.
