JUVENILE AND DOMESTIC RELATIONS DISTRICT COURT
PROBATION/INTAKE UNITS

PROGRAM MISSION: To provide effective, efficient and quality services, programs and interventions for juveniles, adults and families while addressing public safety, victim impact, offender accountability and competency development.

The Intake Unit receives and processes civil and criminal complaints as the port of entry to the Court, serves as an information and referral source, provides initial short-term counseling and monitors compliance of court orders on suspended imposition of sentence cases. The Juvenile Probation Unit provides the Court with investigation and supervision services which promote positive behavioral change, accountability and public safety in youth and their families through prevention, competency development and correctional intervention. The Adult Probation Unit provides services for adult offenders which encourage family stability, and protects the community through conducting investigations, supervising defendants, and coordinating appropriate intervention services.

SIGNIFICANT BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Because of the FY 2003 state budget cuts affecting the Probation/Intake Units program, the FY 2004 budget has been reduced $37,000 for outside residential and non-residential placements.
  • Personnel costs and FTEs increased mainly due to the reallocation of the Detention Diversion Program from the Community-Based Programs to the Intake Unit ($200,132, 3.5 FTEs).
  • The reduction in non-personnel due to state cuts is partially offset by the reallocation of the Detention Diversion Program ($20,949).
  • The increase in revenue reflects additional Probation/Intake Units' salary reimbursement from the Department of Juvenile Justice.

PERFORMANCE MEASURES:

Objective: Process all intakes, perform all investigations, and supervise all adjudicated adult and juvenile offenders.
