Executive Summary
T
his is the annual report providing a combined presentation of information on the Juvenile
J ustice Crime Prevention Act (JJCPA) and the Youthful Offender Block Grant (YOBG). This
newly combined report is mandated by Assembly Bill 1998 (Chapter 880, Stats. 2016). In prior
years, counties submitted separate reports for JJCPA and YOBG, and the Board of State and
Community Corrections submitted those to the Governor and Legislature. AB 1998 also requires
all California counties to submit an annual report to the BSCC that provides specified data
elements and identifies how JJCPA and YOBG funds were spent in the preceding fiscal year.
Following this Executive Summary is a presentation of the reports as they were submitted by each
county.
In 2014, AB 1468 (Chapter 26) established the Juvenile Justice Data Working Group (JJDWG)
within the BSCC to review the JJCPA and YOBG programs and recommend options for
streamlining and consolidating the current requirements without “…sacrificing meaningful data
collection.” Enactment of AB 1998, among other things, codified several recommendations made
by the JJDWG. The most significant changes resulting from this legislation are described below.
Annual Plans
• Annual plans for JJCPA and YOBG are combined and submitted to the BSCC each year by
May 1. These plans describe all programs, placements, strategies, services, and system
enhancements that will be supported with JJCPA and/or YOBG funds in the upcoming fiscal
year.
• Counties are no longer required to include a proposed budget in their annual plans.
• Consistent with YOBG requirements, the JJCPA component of the annual plan no longer
requires Board of Supervisors’ approval.
• Annual plans no longer require BSCC approval. However, all annual plans are posted on the
BSCC website and can be viewed at
http://www.bscc.ca.gov/s_cpgp1718countyjjcpayobgplans.php.
Year-end Expenditure & Outcome Reports
• Annual year-end reports for JJCPA and YOBG are now combined and are due to the BSCC
by October 1 of each year.
• Annual year-end reports describe programs, placements, services, strategies and system
enhancements that were funded through either program during the preceding fiscal year,
including identification of any programs that were co-funded by JJCPA and YOBG. Reports
include line item budget detail.
• In addition to expenditure information, annual year-end reports include countywide figures for
specified juvenile justice data elements available in existing statewide juvenile justice data
systems. Reports also include a summary or analysis of how grant-funded programs have or
may have contributed to, or influenced, the countywide data that is reported. These revised
reporting requirements direct counties to report data on their entire juvenile justice population
and to describe how their use of JJCPA and YOBG funds has, or may have, impacted the trends
seen in that data.
JJCPA-YOBG Leg Report 2018 i Executive Summary
Brief History of the Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act
The JJCPA was created by the Crime Prevention Act of 2000 (Chapter 353) to provide a stable
funding source for local juvenile justice programs aimed at curbing crime and delinquency among
at-risk youth and juvenile offenders. (See Government Code section 30061(b)(4), included as
Appendix A.)
JJCPA funds are available to address a continuum of responses including prevention,
intervention, supervision, and incarceration. State law requires that JJCPA-funded programs be
modeled on strategies that have demonstrated effectiveness in curbing juvenile delinquency.
Beyond that, counties have broad discretion in how they use JJCPA funds to support and enhance
their juvenile justice systems.
To encourage coordination and collaboration among the various local agencies serving at-risk
youth and young offenders, JJCPA requires a county Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council
(JJCC) to develop and modify the county’s juvenile justice plan. The JJCC is chaired by the
county’s chief probation officer and its members include representatives of law enforcement and
criminal justice agencies, the Board of Supervisors, social services, education, mental health, and
community-based organizations. The JJCC is required to meet at least annually to review and
update the county juvenile justice plan.
JJCPA relies on a partnership between the state, local agencies and stakeholders. Local officials
and stakeholders determine where to direct resources through an interagency planning process.
The State Controller’s Office distributes the appropriated JJCPA funds to counties based on
population. Local agencies and community-based organizations deliver programs and services.
This partnership acknowledges the value the state places on local discretion and multiagency
collaboration in addressing the problem of juvenile crime in California’s communities.
In FY 2016-17, statewide base allocation of JJCPA funds was $107,100,000. An additional
$31,405,763 was allocated in FY 2016-17 based on revenue growth that occurred in FY 2015-16.
Consequently, the total amount of funds available to counties through the JJCPA program in FY
2016-17 was $138.5 million.
Brief History of the Youthful Offender Block Grant Program
The YOBG Program was established in 2007 by SB 81 (Chapter 175) and was amended in 2009
by SBX4 13 (Chapter 22, Fourth Extraordinary Session). In 2016, further amendments were made
by AB 1998. (See Welfare and Institutions Code (WIC) section 1950 et seq. included as Appendix
B.)
The YOBG program, sometimes known as “juvenile realignment,” realigned certain youth in
California’s juvenile justice population from state to county control. YOBG provisions prohibit
counties from sending certain lower level offenders to the California Department of Corrections
and Rehabilitation, Division of Juvenile Justice (DJJ). Youth who are no longer eligible for DJJ
commitment are those who commit an offense that is not listed in WIC section 707(b) and is not
a sex offense as set forth in Penal Code section 290.008(c). YOBG supports the concept that
public safety is enhanced by keeping juvenile offenders close to their families and communities.
JJCPA-YOBG Leg Report 2018 ii Executive Summary
As provided by statute, “allocations from the Youthful Offender Block Grant Fund shall be used to
enhance the capacity of county probation, mental health, drug and alcohol, and other county
departments to provide appropriate rehabilitative and supervision services to youthful offenders
subject [to the provisions of SB 81].” Within these general guidelines, counties have flexibility in
how they use YOBG funds and counties use this flexibility to tailor YOBG-funded programs that
fit local needs and priorities.
In recognition of the increased county responsibility for supervising and rehabilitating realigned
youthful offenders, the state provides annual funding to counties through the YOBG program. In
FY 2016-17, statewide YOBG funding was $134,278,548. An additional $6,813,456 was allocated
in FY 2016-17 based on revenue growth that occurred in FY 2015-16. Consequently, the total
amount of funds available to counties through the YOBG program in FY 2016-17 was $141.1
million.
Fiduciary Responsibility for JJCPA-YOBG
There is no competitive aspect to JJCPA or YOBG funding; each county receives an annual
allocation based on the formulas prescribed in statute. For JJCPA, that formula is based on each
county’s population. For YOBG, the formula gives equal weight to a county’s juvenile population
and its juvenile felony dispositions. The California Department of Finance (DOF) is responsible
for calculating the annual amount of JJCPA and YOBG funding to be allocated to each county.
The DOF performs this calculation annually, following enactment of the State budget, using its
own demographic information for the juvenile population and California Department of Justice
data for juvenile felony dispositions. The State Controller’s Office is then responsible for remitting
monthly allocations to each county according to the calculations provided by the DOF. The BSCC
has no fiduciary role in the program.
JJCPA and YOBG are both part of the funding structure established in the 2011 Public Safety
Realignment legislation which created the Local Revenue Fund of 2011. The Local Revenue
Fund has a variety of subaccounts, including the Law Enforcement Services Account, which is
the funding source for JJCPA and YOBG. The main revenue source for JJCPA is the Vehicle
License Fee Fund. Any shortfall in that revenue source is made up by State Sales Tax revenue.
The main revenue source for YOBG is State Sales Tax. Any shortfall in that revenue source is
made up by the Vehicle License Fee Fund.
The combined total funding available to counties through the JJCPA and YOBG programs in FY
2016-17 was $279,597,767. The following pages provide each county’s description of how they
spent those funds.

The Community Probation Program offers enhanced program services for boys and girls, which integrates the work of
Deputy Probation Officers, local law enforcement agencies and other youth-service agencies such as schools,
recreation departments and community-based organizations. These collaborative efforts enable a multi-disciplinary
team to solve problems by: 1) working with clients and their families, 2) monitoring compliance with probation
conditions by increased contacts with random evening visits, and 3) ensuring minors pay restitution to victims and
complete community service orders. Probation staff is assigned to service specific geographic areas in partnership
with community policing areas. The Deputy Probation Officer works in the community where satellite offices are
available in various schools and community-based organizations.
The goal of Community Probation is to marshal the resources of the client’s family, school and neighborhood to
optimize preventive services and eliminate behaviors leading to chronic delinquency. The Community Probation team
assumes a non-traditional, proactive role, working non-traditional hours to assist the client in developing the skills to
become successful in meeting the expectations of their probation. Deputy Probation Officers provide services in
Alameda, Albany, Berkeley, Castro Valley, Dublin, Emeryville, Fremont, Hayward, Livermore, Pleasanton, Oakland,
San Leandro, San Lorenzo, Ashland/Cherryland, and Union City in Alameda County, with a maximum caseload of 50
youth at any given time. Youth supervised by Deputy Probation Officers assigned to the Community Probation
Program participate in a broad range of pro-social activities, such as educational and recreational field trips and
community service. In an effort to provide holistic services, youth and their families receive concrete funds to address
some of their immediate needs, including transportation, food, utilities, and housing. Youth in Alameda County
Probation are assessed using The Youth Level of Service/Case Management Inventory™ (YLS/CMI™), prior to
disposition. The YLS/CMI is a risk/needs assessment and a case management tool combined into one convenient
system. The YLS/CMI helps probation officers, youth workers, psychologists, and social workers identify the youth’s
major needs, strengths, barriers, and incentives; select the most appropriate goals for him or her; and produce an
effective case management plan. Youth with Medium Risk Results are referred to the JJCPA Community Probation
where caseloads are approximately 35-45, there is more contact between Deputy Probation Officers and youth, and
special services available to clients. The Community Probation Program has been operating for 16 years and data
consistently show that youth participating in Community Probation have significantly better outcomes than youth in
comparison groups. Specifically, program data for the past 13 years show youth in JJCPA programs had significantly
lower arrest, incarceration, and probation violation rates. They also had a significantly higher rate of completion of
probation.

The Family Preservation Unit (FPU) is an intensive supervision program. These youth must be at-risk of out-of-home
placement. The primary goal of FPU is to provide alternative services to youth who would otherwise be placed out of
their homes. FPU works with the community to deliver programs and resources to improve family relations, academic
performance, vocational performance, and to prevent further law violations. Participating youth receive Multi-Systemic
Therapy, Intensive Case Management (ICM) and Wraparound services. FPU probation officers also provide linkages
to outpatient drug treatment, parenting classes and gang prevention services. Research shows that community-based
services are often more effective than traditional residential placement facilities in achieving better outcomes for
troubled youth, most notably in reducing the likelihood of repeat offenses. Family Preservation assesses the
therapeutic needs of clients and refers them to appropriate programs in the community that will best fit each youth.
The Family Preservation Unit (FPU) was developed to insure that reasonable efforts are made to retain youth in the
community, before out-of-home placement is considered. Deputies provide intensive supervision and work with
community resources to improve family relations, academic performance, and parent education. Youth assigned to
FPU are at moderate risk of reoffending in the community. The minor and their family are in need of wraparound
services, which is often due to high family dysfunctionality. The youth is often at imminent risk of removal from the
home, having issues in school and/or performing poorly, and they often have substance abuse issues. In an effort to
provide holistic services, youth and their families receive concrete funds to address some of their immediate needs,
including transportation, food, utilities, and housing.
Additionally, Collaborative Court is also maintained under FPU. The purpose of Collaborative Court is to divert
mentally ill youth from the juvenile justice system by linking families with individualized mental health treatment
services, educational and vocational opportunities, and other community supports.
The funds utilized allow for services crucial to the stabilization of the family unit, which are otherwise unaffordable or
inaccessible to the family. The funds also provide transportation to and from school, programs and other pro-social
functions. The funding encourages the family to take advantage of and participate in pro-social activities in the
community, as well as to provide therapeutic services.

The Alameda County Probation Department Intensive Supervision Unit (YOBG) is committed to preserving,
strengthening and assisting families within their communities. Youth and families are provided with community based
services and interventions, as well as, intensive supervision services to include monthly contact by the probation
officer up to three times per month. Deputy Probation Officers (DPO), supervised by Unit Supervisors, provide
Intensive Probation Supervision for youth whose overall total risk level on the Youth Level Services/Case Management
Inventory(YLS/CMI) is High or Very High and youth returning from DJJ commitment. DPOs work with youth and their
families to develop case plans that target the risks identified in the YLS/CMI. DPOs supervise youth within the County
with caseloads of approximately 20-30 youth, to ensure increased contact. DPOs refer youth to mentoring groups and
workshops on a variety of life skill topics (personal organization, personal care/hygiene, social etiquette, budgeting).
DPOs occasionally provide supervised pro-social activities including college tours and educational field trips. The
DPOs also collaborate with a Behavioral Health Clinician from our County’s Behavioral Health Care Services Agency,
who assists in identifying youth with special mental health needs, connecting those youth with appropriate services in
the community, and facilitating Multi-Disciplinary Team meetings with the youth, parents, mental health, school,
probation and community partners involved with the youth. Each probation unit utilizes the behavioral health clinician
who provides consultations, treatment plans and multi-disciplinary team (MDT’s) meetings. The goal of the Intensive
Supervision Program is to marshal the resources of the minor’s family, school, and neighborhood to address those
factors that will most likely result in recidivism, if not addressed. Suitable youth from the Intensive Supervision
program are allowed to participate in contractual services funded through the JJCPA Community Probation Program
including multi-disciplinary teams. These collaborative efforts enable a multi-disciplinary team to solve problems by: 1)
working with clients and their families, 2) monitoring compliance with probation conditions by increased contacts with
random evening visits, and 3) insuring minors pay restitution to victims and complete community service orders. The
Alameda County Probation Department Intensive Supervision Unit also organizes and provides pro-social activities for
our youth. Pro-social activities are a staple in our program as we strive to expose our youth to the arts while giving
them the opportunity to travel outside of their local living environment to engage in a variety of new activities. One
such activity occurred on December 3, 2016, where we sponsored and chaperoned youth to the Lion King musical,
San Francisco, California. Prior to the musical, the youth were also treated to lunch at a popular, local restaurant. The
youth had a great time and had the opportunity to be enriched by the arts, culture, theater, travel and more! The
Intensive Supervision Unit is currently planning to provide our youth with hygiene kits! We determined there was a
need for basic health and beauty products, such as: soap, toothpaste, mouth wash, dental floss, foot powder, finger
nail clippers, etc. As such, we will be delivering hygiene kits to our youth in September 2017!

Camp Wilmont Sweeney is a 24-hour Camp facility for Alameda County’s delinquent male youth who range in age
from 15 through 19. Individualized treatment plans are developed for each youth with goals related to specific
behavioral and educational needs. The overall goal is to return each minor to his community as a positive and
productive citizen. To help achieve this overarching goal, Camp Sweeney partners with the Alameda County Office of
Education, the Alameda County Health Care Services Agency (for medical and mental health care) and a myriad of
community organizations, which help to provide: parent education and support groups, vocational programming and
job readiness training/placement, structured recreational and social activities and planned, supervised outings. The
goal of Camp Sweeney is to marshal the resources of the minor’s family, school, and neighborhood to address those
factors that will most likely result in recidivism, if not addressed. Suitable youth from Camp Sweeney participate in
contractual services that are also funded through the JJCPA Community Probation Program. The DPOs also assist in
programming, refer camp youth to Cognitive Behavior Treatment, and transition aftercare service planning. Some of
our successes have included Cognitive Behavior Treatment which is funded by JJCPA. The program has addressed
gang rivalry issues allowing youth at camp in opposing gangs to co-exist at camp in a productive environment. In
addition,
the Oakland Police Department has a “Cease Fire” categorization for wards at risk of engaging in violence or being a
victim of violence. Cease Fire is a data-driven violence-reduction strategy coordinating law enforcement, social
services, and the community. The major goal is to reduce gang/group-related homicides and shootings. Once
someone is identified of being at-risk, they are offered preventative services. Through the funding provided, our
Cognitive Behavioral provider has supported youth identified through Cease Fire to transition home with additional
support throughout their camp program. Youth exiting camp transition into aftercare and receive the services from the
Intensive Supervision Unit which is also funded under YOBG. These services include mentoring groups and
workshops on a variety of life skill topics (personal organization, personal care/hygiene, social etiquette, budgeting).
The DPOs also collaborate with a Behavioral Health Clinician from our County’s Behavioral Health Care Services
Agency, who assists in identifying youth with special mental health needs, connecting those youth with appropriate
services in the community, and facilitating Multi-Disciplinary Team meetings with the youth, parents, mental health,
school, probation and community partners involved with the youth. Each probation unit utilizes the behavioral health
clinician who provides consultations, treatment plans and multi-disciplinary team (MDT’s) meetings. Suitable youth
released from Camp Sweeney are also allowed to participate in contractual services funded through the JJCPA
Community Probation Program including multi-disciplinary teams.

Established in 2009, the Transition Center enables providers to exchange critical information with parents and youth to
improve coordination of Probation, Health/Mental Health and Education services during detention, upon release, and at
post-release. The Probation Department utilizes a family focused trauma-informed approach to strengthening the
capacity of the Transition Center to develop “warm hand-offs” and promote continuity of care. At the Transition Center
a Deputy Probation Officer supervised by a Unit Supervisor, meets with youth returning from Detention (including youth
returning from the Division of Juvenile Justice) and Placement and their parent/caregivers and provides an overview of
the Probation Supervision process, terms and conditions. A Specialist Clerk II provides youth, parent/caregivers
administrative services, and information to help them navigate the Juvenile Justice Center and other community
resources. With City of Oakland Measure Z and Measure Y Oakland Unite funding, the Transition Center has provided
support to over 4,300 youth easing their transition to probation supervision, schools, health providers, and community-
based organizations. Key to strengthening infrastructure at the Transition Center is improving its capacity to more
effectively access youth support needs at intake and as they transition, link them to available benefits that enable their
successful reentry. The goal of the Transition Center is to marshal the resources of the minor’s family, school, and
neighborhood to address those factors that will most likely result in recidivism, if not addressed. Youth receive
assessment-driven services, utilizing the Youth Level Services/ Case Management Inventory (YLS/CMI). The DPOs
work with youth and their families to develop case plans that will target the risks/needs identified in the YLS/CMI. The
Transition Center partners include: Behavioral Health, Oakland Unified School District, Alameda County Office of
Education, and Public Health. Positions funded by YOBG at the Transition Center include: one full-time Unit
Supervisor at 50%, one Deputy Probation Officer lll at 100%, one Specialist Clerk ll at 100%, and one Clerk ll position
at 100%.

JJCPA programs within the Alameda County Probation Department (ACPD) have consistently had lower rates of
arrest and incarceration when compared to youth in a reference group over the past 15 years (FY 15/16, 9.8%
decrease in violent arrests and 22.9% decrease in violent sustained petitions). JJCPA/YOBG programs in
Alameda County specifically target youth under probation supervision in the community, those youth at imminent
risk of removal from their homes, youth needing intensive supervision and youth returning from DJJ. ACPD also
provides re-entry services to youth at our residential camp program and youth released from custody at Juvenile
Hall. By targeting these populations, ACPD has been committed to expanding and building support services
aimed to improve system changes that impact youth who are at-risk juveniles, juvenile offenders, and their
families. In addition, JJCPA/YOBG has helped ACPD broaden our array of services to reduce the number of
youth in out-of-home placements, to provide the least restrictive level of placement, when out-of-home placement
is necessary; and promote family preservation and family reunification.
Alameda County is the seventh most populous county in California with a population of approximately 1,510,271
residents. The County consists of 14 incorporated cities and several unincorporated communities. Oakland is the
seat of County government and the largest city. The County is racially/ethnically diverse. The youth population
(age 10-17) of the County is approximately 149,857 or 10 percent of the total population. Youth living in blighted
low-income neighborhoods are generally considered to be at higher risk for involvement in delinquency and
Alameda County is no exception. The majority of youth referred to ACPD are from Oakland (40%) and Hayward
(16%). Similarly, youth on formal supervision are more likely to reside in Oakland and Hayward, 48% and 17%
respectively.
In 2016, there were 1,816 arrests by police in Alameda County. This represents a 7% decline in arrests from the
previous year when there were 1,966 arrests. Of the 1,816 arrests reported by police in 2016, misdemeanor
arrests accounted for 852 (47%), felony arrests for 815 (45%), and status arrests 149 (8%). There were 1,769
referrals to the Alameda County Probation Department. Of the 1,769 referrals, 830 (47%) petitions were filed,
513 (29%) of cases were closed, 393 (22%) diversions were made, 18 (1%) of cases were transferred, seven
(<1%) were placed on 654 informal probation, and the remaining 8 (<1%) were direct files to adult court.
The Alameda County Probation Department (ACPD) has a broad array of youth services resources that
specifically target at-risk juveniles, juvenile offenders, and their families. ACPD contracts with numerous
agencies that work together as the Delinquency Prevention Network (DPN). In FY2015, the DPN served 1,975
youth 530 (26.8%) of which were on probation. In 2016, of the 830 petitions filed , 371 (45%) were new petitions
(juveniles who were not currently supervised), while the remaining 459 (55%) were for subsequent petitions
(juveniles who were currently being supervised). The majority of petitions were filed against males 687 (83%),
while the remaining petitions were filed against females 143 (17%). The greatest percentage of petitions were
filed against African-American youth 531 (64%) compared to 198 (24%) for Latino youth, 43 (5%) for White youth,
39 (5%) for Asian and Pacific Islander youth, and 19 (2%) for youth with an unknown racial/ethnic group.
The majority of petitions filed resulted in a youth being placed on wardship probation, 691 (83%). Of those youth
placed on wardship probation, 528 (76%) were placed in their own home or the home of a relative, 95 (14%) were
placed in a private facility, 38 (5%) were placed in a secure county facility, 27 (4%) were placed in an “Other”
facility, and the remaining 3 (<1%) were committed to the Department of Juvenile Justice.
Youth in Alameda County Probation are assessed using The Youth Level of Service/Case Management
Inventory™ (YLS/CMI™), prior to disposition. The YLS/CMI is a risk/needs assessment and a case management
tool combined into one convenient system. The YLS/CMI helps probation officers, youth workers, psychologists,
and social workers identify the youth’s major needs, strengths, barriers, and incentives; select the most
appropriate goals for him or her; and produce an effective case management plan. The results of the risk/needs
assessment, in addition to other relevant facts, are considered in making a recommendation to the Court
regarding Probation in the minor's home, placement in Camp, or a Placement facility.

This program is geared toward "at-risk" children and teens in the communities of Alpine County. The atmosphere
is always drug and alcohol free encouraging interaction between participants. Electronic devices are prohibited in
an effort to promote conversation and inclusion. There are strict codes of conduct geared toward appropriate
language, actions and dress for activities. There is a high number of Native and non- Native American
participation in an effort to encourage the building of cultural bridges. Some of the activities that this program
provided access to were; a county fair, health fair, museums, dinners, movies, Christmas show, bowling, swim
center, story time, fishing, and Six Flags. Through this program, the cost of admission, food, and transportation is
paid so the families can experience new and different activities. This program provides the youth activities that
are available to them in the county but they may otherwise not be able to take advantage of. For the youth in
Alpine County and their families to learn how to play together through drug and alcohol free outings helps them
with peer pressure now and later in life. This program encourages families to enjoy positive time together. The

The Alpine Mentoring program affords "at-risk" youth an opportunity to be matched with a caring adult in an effort
to provide some stability in the child's life. The children involved in this project are typically from homes without a
father figure or lack of strong parental guidance due to their caregiver's substance abuse. These youth may be
"at-risk" of engagement in problem behaviors such as delinquency, drug use, teen pregnancy, or truancy because
of a lack of supervision and adult role models. The mentoring program is designed to buffer these "at-risk" youth
against risk factors while encouraging protective boundaries. Tahoe Youth and Family Services provide a
Mentoring Project in order to decrease delinquent behavior and increase the capacity of Alpine County to provide
an effective continuum of response to juvenile crime and delinquency. This is an evidence- based strategy used
to provide individual mentoring, youth development clubs, youth prevention and recreational activities, in an effort
to address "at-risk" juveniles in the county. Specific goals and objectives of the project is to recruit new members
while sustaining mentor/ mentee matches from 2016-17 as well as data collection, monthly recruitment and
presentations. This year there will be continued training of mentors in juvenile delinquency issues, risk factors,
positive youth development, healthy relationships, family strengthening and substance abuse prevention
techniques.

Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is a research based program that is built on a 3 tiered
approach for preventing problem behaviors. Tier 1- Primary prevention is designed for all students in the school
to create a positive school-wide culture so positive behaviors are taught and are reinforced and consistent. Tier 2-
Secondary prevention includes additional interventions for students with "at-risk" behaviors who need more than
primary prevention. This could include the "check-in check-out " option, small group intervention or behavior
contracts. Diamond Valley School has been using the Tier 1 and 2 components of this program for the past 2
years. The training for Tier 3 was received last year. Tier 3- Tertiary prevention involves individualized
interventions for students who exhibit serious behavior problems. Each student has a tailored support system of
on-task behaviors for group lessons and is responsible for keeping track of their own behavior which includes the
use of a behavior card. Negative behavior in school can impact a student for the rest of his or her life. PBIS is a
school wide system of support that includes proactive strategies for defining, teaching, and supporting appropriate
student behaviors to create a positive school experience. Positive environments promote better learning
experiences as well as success. Positive environments in a school setting means less likelihood of truancy, drop
out, or entry into the juvenile system. The target community is every student in Alpine County Unified School
District with an emphasis on students in grade 3-8, ages 8-14. The system is designed to help students who are a
"at-risk" receive the help and support through out their school day with all students to help increase each child's
attachment to the school and community.

Through a directive of the Alpine County Auditor, time-studies were a directive in order to capture hours spent by
Alpine County Probation Department on the YOBG grant. The grant duties include attending Board of Supervisor
meetings, facilitating RFPs, grant recommendations, reporting outcomes, noticing the grant in the newspaper,
implementing the RFP reviews, securing grant applications, rating the proposals, communications with the Alpine
County Counsel, submitting the contracts for grantees, auditing reports, authorizing payment, and reporting to
YOBG. These funds are used to pay a portion of the staff to administer, organize, and distribute the funds to
provide services to the community youth by the organizations receiving grant monies. These organizations will
provide mentoring, recreational activities, and advocacy to the area youth. The organizations involved in
providing the programs and activities to the youth are, Alpine Kids, Tahoe Youth & Family Services, and Alpine
County Unified School District. Alpine County is a remote area with a population consisting of approximately 75%
Native American. These programs are used to identify "at-risk" students and youth in an effort to avoid truancy
and incarceration. The grant also paid for the RFP advertising.

Provide a summary description or analysis, based on available information, of how the programs, placements,
services, strategies or system enhancements funded by JJCPA-YOBG have, or may have, contributed to, or
influenced, the juvenile justice data trends identified in this report.
Alpine County Probation has no Juvenile figures to report for the fiscal year of 2016/17. Youthful Offender Block Grant
has afforded Alpine County with prevention programs to help our youth cope while living in a very remote area of
California. **********************************************************************************************************
The total population of Alpine County is 1,071 permanent, year-round residents. Population in Alpine County continues
to decline each year as job opportunities for local residents and new families are limited. Most employment in the
county is either seasonal at winter resorts, county jobs, or a minimum 30 to 45 minute drive to South Lake Tahoe,
California or Douglas County, Nevada. Due to lack of employment, some households in Alpine County have more than
one family living in 4 and 5 bedroom houses. The total percentage of persons living below the federal poverty line in
Alpine County is 19% compared to the national poverty rate of 13%. This includes 27.4% of those under age 18 and
10.1 % of those ages 65 and over. The 2010 sensus lists Alpine County as a Frontier/Wilderness County, not large
enough to be considered rural. There are 5 pockets of population; Bear Valley, Kirkwood, Markleeville, Woodfords, and
Hun-a-lel-ti. There are many isolated homes where juveniles cannot walk to visit friends or socialize. Cell phone
service is sparce which means contact with outside areas is limited. Bear Valley is totally isolated from the rest of the
county for the winter months when the highway is closed due to hazardous conditions. Hung-a-lel-ti is a clustered area
which has many children. It is also isolated because of lack of amenities. Hung-a-lel-ti has no grocery store, no gas
station, no restaurant, and no means of employment. Kirkwood is a seasonal community 20 miles from
Woodfords/Markleeville. The population fluctuates from a large number of residents in the winter months to a few
permanent residents the remainder of the year. There is one student who attends Diamond Valley School in Kirkwood.
The student population of Alpine County Unified School District, the only school in Alpine County, is 48% Caucasian,
41% Native American, 7% Hispanic, and 4% two or more races. According to the California Department of Education in
2016-2017, 57.5% of Alpine County students were eligible to receive free or reduced lunches and were identified as
"socio-economically disadvantaged. Native American foster youth are not counted by the state for the purposes of
school funding which means that Alpine County's school has to report 0% foster youth and miss out on funding for
those Native American youth in foster care. Again, Diamond Valley School is the only school in Alpine County, which
consists of students from kindergarten through eighth grade. Residents of Bear Valley attend school in Calaveras
County while high school students from the other communities are bussed either to South Lake Tahoe, California or
Douglas County, Nevada through graduation. Alpine County is a very remote county in California. Only 5% of Alpine
County is in private ownership due to small amounts of private land and expensive housing costs. Alpine County has
extreme winters which makes travel sometimes impossible in the winter. It is a very mountainous region of the Sierras
with wildlife abounding. It is a county of beauty and extremities which make living conditions hard for adults. Our youth
need outlets, activities, mentoring, positive behavior interventions and support to develop coping skills for the outside
world they see so little of. Alpine County's Juvenile population has benefited greatly from the Youthful Offender Block
Grant supported programs which keeps the offender population low and at risk children busy with more productive
positive activities and away from truant and criminal activities idle minds will be attracted to. One of the programs
funded by YOBG is Alpine Kids which is an activity based program which enables the youth of Alpine County to engage
in activities they may never have the opportunity to take part in if not for this program. It is a program which promotes
positive socialization, respect, interaction with families and peers, while introducing them to other cultures, as well as
providing them the ability to share their skills with others in a drug and alcohol free environment. It encourages family
participation, without distraction of cell phones, radios, television, or other electronic devices. Tahoe Youth and Family
is another program funded by the YOBGrant. It is a mentoring program modeled after Big Brother's/ Big Sisters as a
delinquency prevention which guarantees the youth they will have someone to help them deal with day-to-day
challenges while making them feel like they matter. The third and final program funded by YOBGrant is Alpine Unified
School District's Positive Behavior Interventions and Support Program. This program targets sudents in grades K- 8.
This program is a three-tiered approach to preventing problem behavior such as truancy, bullying, negative, and
aggressive behavior.

Amador County Probation has an interagency agreement with Amador County Behavioral Health to provide
substance abuse group counseling to youth referred by the juvenile probation officers. The substance abuse
counselors utilize the teen Matrix Model which consists of evidence-based techniques integrated into an
approach that includes individual and group sessions, and separate parent and adolescent substance education
groups. The expected benefit is to provide counseling to youth that normally do not have access to these
services, and to assist in preventing future substance abuse issues.

Nexus Youth and Family Services provides the Aggression Replacement Therapy (ART) groups throughout the
school year to youth referred by Amador County Probation. The juvenile probation officer collaborates with local
schools, Health and Human Services, and parents to assess youth for the ART program. ART groups help to
reduce negative behaviors, disciplinary action in the school setting, time on probation, and recidivism in the
Juvenile Justice System. ART is a multi-modal intervention designed to alter the behavior of chronically
aggressive youth. It consists of three components: skill streaming which is designed to teach a broad curriculum
of pro-social behavior, anger control which is a method for empowering youth to modify their own anger
responsiveness, and moral reasoning training which is to help motivate youth to employ the skills learned via the
other components. The goals and expected benefits are to promote skill acquisition and performance, improve
anger control, decrease the frequency of acting out behaviors, and increase the frequency of pro-social
constructive behaviors.

systems allow the juvenile probation officer to track all aspects of the juvenile caseload. In addition, the Juvenile
Assessment Intervention System (JAIS) is embedded in the case management system which is a juvenile
assessment tool. The JAIS component classifies the youth as low, medium, or high risks. The assessment also
identifies their needs to successfully complete probation and reduce recidivism; such as, mental health or
substance abuse referrals, ART or 180 Degree You-Turn Program referral, and family counseling.

Provide a summary description or analysis, based on available information, of how the programs, placements,
services, strategies or system enhancements funded by JJCPA-YOBG have, or may have, contributed to, or
influenced, the juvenile justice data trends identified in this report.
The focus of the Amador County Probation Department is primarily prevention driven. Identifying juveniles at risk
and collaborating with our community based agencies has allowed the juvenile probation officer to access
programs which focus acutely on the needs of the minor and their family. Referring minors and their families to
programs such as Nexus ART and 180 Degree Upturn have proven to help enhance informal interaction with the
Probation Department and law enforcement when engaging youth who are at risk within our community.
Additionally, more creative dispositions prior to court involvement have been implemented prior to or at intake with
the Probation Department. The Probation Department has a strong relationship with the school district as well
and is very active with truancy prevention and referring families in need for services. In reviewing the year end
statistical data for the 2016 year drawn from the State of California Department of Justice, it is evident these
practices have been and continue to be successful. For example, there were 64 referrals made to the probation
department in which only 21 were referred to the Court with the remaining 35 being handled by the Probation
Department.

The MAP is an intensive collaborative project coordinated by the BCPD and funded in part by the JJCPA. This
program is designed to help specified youthful offenders and their families regain or enhance their abilities to
maintain the integrity of their families, while also being held appropriately accountable for their past and present
behaviors.
The MAP is based upon a Court ordered Juvenile Hall commitment of 180 days for select youthful offenders.
During the first 60 days, youth remain in custody with no opportunity for release. Between 60 days and 90 days,
youth may be granted a Temporary Release (TR) to the parental participant at the discretion of the BCPD
Probation Officer. Youth will be permitted to return home for pre-established periods of time, depending on the
family’s overall progress and other circumstances. The TR concept allows program flexibility. Should a youth
have a setback in their program, custodial sanctions can be swiftly and efficiently delivered. Between day 90 and
the conclusion of the program (day 180), youth are returned to their residences where intensive treatment
continues. During the second half of the program, youth are granted an Extended Temporary Release (ETR) from
custody, during which time maximum supervision and innovative treatment approaches can continue.
Up to three program extensions may be imposed prior to informing the Court via a formal Violation of Probation
notice. Each program extension prolongs the TR eligibility by two weeks but does not affect the original 180 day
order from the Court.
The MAP was conceived of and instituted following an expressed need for improving local and direct rehabilitative
services provided to youth in Butte County’s Juvenile Court. The program is based on a four component model
whereby a collaborative service agreement exists between local education providers, probation services,
psychological services and youth development providers.
Implementation of additional services will occur as the MAP develops, and as funding and staffing allow.
Additional services may include vocational programs and training; work experience; family planning and
STDs/AIDS awareness; pet therapy; and independent living skills programs. Additionally, the drug testing of
juvenile participants is regular and random.
The MAP is designed to provide youth, their parents and/or guardians, and siblings with individualized and
intensive assessment, supervision and services locally. The specific goals of this program are to hold youth
appropriately accountable for delinquency, inappropriate social conduct and poor decision making; to use
appropriate behavior and social skills through supervision, structure, counseling, instruction, role modeling,
positive and negative reinforcements and other individualized strategy; to increase rates of successful completion
and grants of probation, community service obligations and payments of restitution and fines; and to reduce the
number of Butte County youth placed out of the area at residential facilities, reducing the cost associated with
those placements.

The use of Electronic Monitoring lowers populations in Juvenile Hall. The BCPD is committed to expanding its
Global Positioning Services (GPS) caseload by 15 youth to make the community of Butte County safer for its
residents. This service provides youth with a highly structured supervision program in the community as an
alternative to institutionalization. GPS offer cost effectiveness, a flexible sentencing alternative, an opportunity for
immediate sanction, more intensive supervision, and increased community safety. A case plan and a detention
release criterion are completed and utilized for evaluation on each youth prior to being considered for release
back to the community. Moderate to high risk youth supervised with a Global Positioning Device have a greater
likelihood of success.

The BCPD contracts with a risk/needs assessment provider to maintain a complete system of ongoing risk
screening and needs assessments. BCPD staff is trained in using the risk/needs assessment tool to aid in making
crucial decisions in classifying youth appropriately and to target interventions (Risk Principle). The BCPD has
moved deeper into the implementation of EBP by developing case plans (Needs Principle) as well as analyzing
how programs are delivered, and addressing gaps in services (Treatment Principle). By evaluating how well
programs are delivered, the BCPD can continue to improve protocols and processes regarding the utilization of
the tool in the future (Fidelity Principle). Using a risk/needs assessment tool has allowed the BCPD to better
manage youth and streamline operations. This instrument provides greater validity, structure and consistency to
the decision making process as it relates to risk and needs assessment. It also allows the BCPD to allocate
resources more efficiently by targeting the most intensive interventions to the highest risk youth according to their
individual needs. The utilization of a validated risk/needs assessment tool helps the BCPD effectively manage
prevention services and, most important, reduce offender recidivism. Scientifically validated risk and needs
assessment is the foundation of the modern juvenile justice system. It provides a before-and-after snapshot,
indicating whether or not youth were helped while under the care of the BCPD.

The BCPD has developed a youth sports team named "The Defenders". The goal is to provide the youth with an
opportunity to participate in approximately four different sporting events per year. In addition to coaching the
teams, Probation Officers play on them with the youth. Studies indicate that formal youth mentoring programs can
promote positive outcomes such as improved self-esteem, social skills and knowledge of career opportunities.
The primary goal of this program is to assist the youth in developing pro-social skills and competencies, replace
aggression tendencies with more acceptable choices, and to provide opportunities to practice these newly
acquired skills. Water and snacks are provided in an effort to incentivize the programming, an essential key to
achieving buy-in. Many of our youth come from lower socio-economic areas and may lack the resources

The BCPD has adopted the local Riverbend Park, which youth and Probation Officers together work to restore
and maintain. Duties include clean up sessions at least three times per year, as well as regular maintenance
activities. Youth also work to eradicate graffiti in other local parks. This provides youth the opportunity to give
back, improving their connections to the communities in which they live. Participating in the community helps
youth develop pro-social skills and evaluations of programs that mentor youth have provided evidence that quality

The BCPD trains staff in the implementation of the Strengthening Families Program (SFP). The SFP is a
nationally and internationally recognized parent and family strengthening program for high-risk as well as general
population families. SFP is an evidence-based family skills training program and has been found to significantly
reduce problem behaviors, delinquency and alcohol and drug use in youth. It also improves social competencies
and school performance. The program is designed to decrease the maltreatment of children as parents
strengthen the bond with their children and learn effective parenting skills. It was originally developed for
substance abusing parents. A family meal is provided at each SFP session. Sharing a meal together can increase
family well-being by encouraging communication and interaction and allowing families to bond together as a unit
to provide reciprocal care, emotional support, hope, encouragement, and guidance. It provides

The BCPD Job Readiness program provides youth the ability to develop practical job skills, expand pro-social
attitudes and opportunities, strengthen confidence to find employment, and cultivate meaningful community
partnerships. Through this program, two Probation Officers teach youth to knit caps to donate to our local
hospitals. The Butte Humane Society and SPCA teach juveniles how to train dogs using positive reinforcement
and a clicker. The work with the animals helps youth gain a better understanding of how the Humane Society
works and how they can serve their community. Chico Parks offers youth work sessions that provide an
educational experience in habitat restoration, vegetation management, public issues and more. Through the Job
Readiness Program, the BCPD provides youth with the opportunity to participate in positive, pro-social activities
within the community. Water and snacks are provided in an effort to incentivize the programming, an essential key

Juvenile Hall operates a small garden project in the secure perimeter of the facility as a method to teach youth the
skills of gardening. Youth work under the supervision of staff to plan the garden, build planter boxes, build
irrigation systems, prepare soils, plant various fruits and vegetables and harvest the ripened fruits and vegetables.
The harvest is incorporated into meals in the Juvenile Hall facility. Additionally, the BCPD has looked into starting
a homing pigeon club in a semi-secure portion of the facility grounds. The pigeon project will teach youth to plan
for the care of the birds, train them and prepare them for racing. Youth will work with staff in all aspects of building
the pigeon enclosures, managing the dietary needs of the birds, executing a training regimen, record keeping, etc.
The birds will eventually compete alongside and against other pigeon clubs in racing/ timed returns to the facility.
An additional allotment of 100 hours of staff time will be dedicated to this project annually.
The BCPD has implemented a Fresh Start program that complements the garden project. The youth harvest the
garden and set up a small farmer’s market style booth that is open to the public for the purchase of produce and
flowers. The program provides youth with opportunities to develop life skills, increase work readiness and self-
efficiency, develop critical thinking skills, increase job and education skills, and improve the connection with their
communities. Funds generated are used by the youth to pay restitution to their victims. Restitution, a monetary
payment by the youth to the victim for the harm resulting from the offense, allows the youth to express guilt in a
concrete manner. It provides an alternative sanction with far less cost than incarceration. Youth attitudes and
behaviors can be changed from anti-social to pro-social by the use of accountability and treatment. Probation
Officers will use Motivational Interviewing techniques while working with youth. Evaluations of programs that
mentor youth have provided evidence that quality relationships can lead to positive outcomes.

community based programs that are available to keep youth engaged in positive environments and activities. In
this recidivism-based program, youth reflect on the various reasons for their referral and what they could have
done differently to avoid being in the criminal justice system. In addition to the monthly classes, presenters from
different community agencies come in and provide information to the youth and their parents as well.

Butte County Probation Crime Trends:
The Butte County Juvenile crime rate has decreased by 59% over the previous 6 years. Our total arrest rates for
felony, misdemeanor and status offenses has fallen from 1150 arrests in 2011 to 469 arrests in 2016. Since
2014, our year over year arrest rates appear to have stabilized. The decline in arrests has also reduced the
number of juveniles placed on wardship probation by 64%. The decline and stabilization of juvenile crime in Butte
County can partially be attributed to the strategies applied in our county utilizing JJCPA and YOBG funding. The
use of a validated risk and needs tool has allowed our agency to target and case plan the criminogenic needs of
our higher risk population while diverting our lower risk population to more appropriate diversion based
programing. The JJCPA/YOBG funds has given us the opportunity to expand our programing capacity for our
higher risk youth by providing, after school services, counseling, substance abuse screening, gender specific
programing for boy and girls, recreational activities, vocational training, restorative justice, parent education, job
readiness, garden project, independent live skills education, electronic monitoring, Minor Adjustments Program
(MAP), and address restitution via the Fresh Start program.
Funding is also applied to staff training and professional development in an effort to keep staff current on the
latest trends in evidence based programing.
In addition to these programs that are applied to our high risk population, funding is also being provided to the Boy
and Girls Club of the North Valley to support preventative programing and reduce referrals to the criminal justice
system.
Wardship Outcomes:
The 6 month Felony/Misdemeanor Recidivism Rate for the wardship population was 8.7% (based on 46 individual
juveniles who began wardship supervision for the first time between 1/1/2016 and 12/31/2016).
The 12 month Felony/Misdemeanor Recidivism Rate for the wardship population was 16% (based on 25
individual juveniles who began wardship supervision for the first time between 1/1/2016 and 6/30/2016).

Minors on intensive supervision who re-offend or violate probation severely enough and are not appropriate for
continuation in the home or for receiving rehabilitative services in a foster or group home are committed to our
contracted juvenile halls, both of which offer rehabilitative programming.
Nevada County Juvenile Hall provides the following services and programs to in-custody minors: Aggression
Replacement Training (A.R.T.); mental health counseling; drug and alcohol education; male and female support
groups; N.A and A.A meetings; life skills training; yoga; fine arts classes; and re-entry planning.

Minors at a high risk to re-offend are placed into one of two JJCPA programs, Early Intervention or Intensive
Supervision. The JJCPA programs provide for intensive probation officer involvement with both first-time and
repeat offenders who have been assessed as being at high risk to re-offend using the OYAS Youth risk
assessment tool.

Calaveras: Data Trend Analysis

Government Code Section 30061(b)(4)(C)(iv) & WIC Section 1961(c)(3)
Provide a summary description or analysis, based on available information, of how the programs, placements,
services, strategies or system enhancements funded by JJCPA-YOBG have, or may have, contributed to, or
influenced, the juvenile justice data trends identified in this report.
The department's spending strategies have afforded opportunities to provide appropriate staffing, secure juvenile
hall beds, and maintain a modern client management system. These opportunities function together to support
the department's efforts to deter and reduce violent and serious juvenile offenses that would have resulted in DJJ
commitments prior to the passage of Senate Bill 81 in 2007. For example, the client management software
provides the department with critical data related to programming and supervision decisions. This allows the
department to track and report on trends such as: Group Home Placements, Detention Commitments, and
Home/Family Visits.
Juvenile Hall expenditures make it possible for the department to interrupt behaviors and provide in-custody
programs for non-compliant minors as needed. As programming in the contracted juvenile halls has increased
and improved in the last decade, committed youths have become less likely to escalate into Camp, Group Home
and DJJ commitments.
Staff salaries and benefits expenditures have made it possible to intervene earlier in cases and spend adequate
time with family members of juvenile justice-involved youths.
Ultimately, the trends for the past decade have been: Reduced Average Daily Population (ADP) rates for minors
in detention, increased family participation in juvenile case planning, reduced group home placements, reduced
Camp and DJJ commitments, and reduced total population of juvenile offenders.

Counselors facilitated the Girls Circle Program. The Girls Circle is a gender specific group that focuses on the
emotional and developmental needs of the youth. Groups are held weekly on the youths' school campus and at
the County Youth Center. These intervention groups are designed with evidence based principles and
incorporate Motivational Interviewing, strength based approaches, cultural awareness and trauma-responsive
practices. Young women and men who have attended are likely to have an increase in self efficacy, more
attachment to school, increase in positive body image and decrease in drug and alcohol use. They also have an
increased sense of belonging. The groups are offered in all junior high and high schools and some elementary
schools throughout the five school districts in the County. The counselors will facilitate the Girls Circle and
Program as well as coordinate activities to include college tours, pro-social excursions, and community service
activities for these youth. By including community service activities, youth benefit by increasing a stronger
connectedness to the community and reduce engagement of at-risk behavior. The YOBG funds were used to
offset salaries and benefits for counselors to provide Girl Circle Program as well as spent on supplies needed to
offer groups throughout the County including materials for specific group activities, fuel, vehicle maintenance
costs and the costs associated with promoting groups. During the past few years these programs have been
offered, the Department's juvenile caseload has dropped significantly. Groups and community service activities
will be offered after school, weekends and during the summer. Utilizing the County Youth Center allows for
enhanced services by offering year round support for youth outside of the school year.

Colusa County is a small rural county with limited resources. The Noble assessment tool is a validated evidence
based risk/needs assessment tool utilized to target youth that will most benefit from intervention. The tool also
identifies the needs of the youth as well as risk and protective factors relative to each youth. The funds were
used to pay for licensing and maintenance of the software for the internet based assessment tool.

During this funding period JJCPA funds were used in full to partial pay for a full time Deputy Probation Officer
dedicated to enhance the services to Juveniles in Colusa County.
The Deputy Probation Officer directly provided case management using evidence based and best practices.
With the Noble assessment tool, the Deputy Probation Officer can focus on the at risk juveniles and provide the
best services to the juveniles to reduce the possibility of removing juveniles from their home and detour them
from getting involved in the criminal justice system.
The Deputy Probation Officer meets face to face with the juveniles and their parents on a regular basis. The
Deputy Probation Officer also conducts monthly visits to juveniles in placement and meets with group home
counselors and any other agencies working with the juveniles. The Officer closely monitors the minors’
education progress , community service, counseling progress, and overall behavior. The Deputy Probation
Officer makes referrals to the appropriate agencies to further assist the juveniles in their success.
By implementing best practices, the Colusa County Probation Department has been successful in keep juveniles
in their most appropriate placement, thus reducing the number of juveniles entering the criminal justice system
and/or becoming wards of the Court.

Provide a summary description or analysis, based on available information, of how the programs, placements,
services, strategies or system enhancements funded by JJCPA-YOBG have, or may have, contributed to, or
influenced, the juvenile justice data trends identified in this report.
The Colusa County Probation Department offers a continuum of responses to juvenile crime which includes
Diversion letters, Intake Interview and Assessments, Informal and Formal Probation. Diversion is utilized when
the Probation Officer acknowledges the crime and highlights the importance of proactive interventions. Parents
are provided with a list of resources they may access to help obtain intervention services. When an intake and
assessment becomes necessary, the juvenile and parent(s)/guardian(s) are sent an appointment and the
juvenile’s prior educational, criminal and psychosocial history are assessed to determine the appropriate response
to the criminal allegations. Responses include admonishment and dismissal, apology letters, community service,
restitution or any combination of the above. The matter may also be brought to juvenile court if it is determined
the most appropriate response at this junction. When informal probation is utilized as a graduated response it
may only last up to six (6) months and may only be utilized once. Terms of informal probation may include
community service, apology letters, restitution, curfews and meetings with the Juvenile Probation Officer. When
formal probation is appropriate, after completing intake, and a criminal complaint is charged by the District
Attorney, the juvenile and his/her parent (s)/guardian(s) appear for juvenile Court and, after admission, or being
found true by means of a hearing, a Dispositional Report is ultimately completed which addresses the juvenile’s
crime, prior graduated responses utilized, educational, psychological and social history as well as needs. This
generates a recommendation for more graduated responses to include all those discussed in Informal Probation
with the inclusion of out of home placement, boot camp and/or custodial time. Further, a formal Case Plan is
created identifying the needs of the juvenile offender and services and interventions to address and modify the
behavior. The Deputy Probation Officer meets face to face with the juveniles and their parents on a regular basis.
The Deputy Probation Officer also conducts monthly visits to juveniles in placement and meets with group home
counselors and any other agencies working with the juveniles. The Officer closely monitors the minors’ education
progress , community service, counseling progress, and overall behavior. The Deputy Probation Officer makes
referrals to the appropriate agencies to further assist the juveniles in their success. The Colusa County Probation
Department has been successful in keep juveniles in their most appropriate placement, thus reducing the number
of juveniles entering the criminal justice system and/or becoming wards of the Court.
The Girls Circle and Boys Council Programs are evidence based structured support groups, implemented and
facilitated by Probation Department staff in the local schools, for adolescent at risk girls and boys. They are
designed to foster self-esteem, help maintain authentic connections with peers and other adults in the community.
These programs do not provide counseling, but give the youth a place to give and receive support from peers. A
variety of teen issues are discussed along with occasionally guest speakers. The programs do not aim to provide
advice, but encourage youth to share and learn from their experiences and through their participation in groups,
the goal is to prevent at risk behaviors that might lead them into the juvenile justice system. These programs
provide important support and pro-social experiences to the youth of Colusa County that they might not be
exposed to due to the rural location and lack of services. By implementing these programs and services, the data
reflects the low number of juveniles entering and re-entering the juvenile justice system in Colusa County.

The Girls in Motion program (GIM) is a residential program housed in the Juvenile Hall in which staffing is partially
supported with YOBG funds. GIM provides a safe and structured environment in which adolescent females can
achieve positive change and personal growth. As they move through a phase system, that normally requires a
five to six month commitment, the youth benefit from individualized treatment plans, individual counseling, and
evidence based group programming focused on strengthening pro-social values/attitudes and restructuring anti-
social behaviors. Probation staff have received gender specific training and lead many of the girl’s groups.
Counseling is also provided by mental health therapists as well as community based organizations that offer
specialized services for youth on the topics of trauma, relationship development, anger management/conflict
resolution and substance abuse. Treatment is also provided for youth who have been identified as a victim of
commercial sexual exploitation and abuse. Specific programming includes, but is not limited to, Aggression
Replacement Training (ART), Thinking for a Change (T4C), Girl's Circle, Job Tech/Life Skills, AA/NA, Alateen,
Cognitive Behavior Intervention Substance Abuse (CBI-SA), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).
In 2016, the GIM treatment dosage was enhanced with the introduction of the CBI-SA and Advanced Practice
treatment programs. The GIM youth also received enhanced services through a Multi-Disciplinary team
consisting of Mental Health, Education, Medical and Probation staff. The team worked collaboratively on difficult
cases and created individualized behavioral intervention plans for severely aggressive and violent youth.
Enhancements and increased collaboration with our county partners allowed the GIM program to improve
targeted individualized services.
During the residential treatment phase and after re-entry into the community, youth in the GIM program
consistently receive collaborative supervision and services from a Deputy Probation Officer (DPO) specifically
assigned to the program. The DPO works to insure that the youth receive the necessary assistance for a smooth
transition out of the program and back into their community.

The Youthful Offender Treatment Program (YOTP) is a residential commitment program, housed in the Juvenile
Hall, in which staffing and mental health services are funded by YOBG. The program's mission is to serve young
males ages 16 to 21 by providing them with cognitive behavioral programming and the life skills necessary to
transition back into the community. The YOTP program is a local alternative to a commitment to the Department
of Juvenile Justice for youth who have committed serious and possibly violent offenses, but can be treated at the
local level.
The YOTP is a best practice model involving a four phase system. Youth committed to the YOTP can expect to
stay in the program for a minimum of nine months or longer depending on their level of progress through each
phase. While in the program youth receive Aggression Replacement Training (ART), Thinking for a Change
(T4C), The Council, Impact of Crimes on Victims, Phoenix Gang Program, Job Tech/Life Skills, Substance Abuse
Counseling that includes Cognitive Behavior Intervention Substance Abuse (CBI-SA) treatment, and Work
Experience. All treatment is provided by trained Probation staff, County Mental Health staff and community
providers. In addition to the cognitive behavioral programming, youth also attend school and many achieve their
High School diploma.
In 2016, YOTP treatment dosage was enhanced with the introduction of the CBI-SA and Advanced Practice
treatment programs. The YOTP youth also received enhanced services through a Multi-Disciplinary team
consisting of Mental Health, Education, Medical and Probation staff. The team worked collaboratively on difficult
cases and created individualized behavioral intervention plans for severely aggressive and violent youth.
Enhancements and increased collaboration with our county partners allowed the YOTP to improve targeted
individualized services.
During the residential treatment phase and after re-entry into the community, youth in the YOTP consistently
receive collaborative supervision and services from Deputy Probation Officers (DPOs) specifically assigned to the
program. The DPOs work to insure that the youth receive the necessary assistance for a smooth transition out of
the program and back into their community.

YOBG funds partially provide for three YOTP Deputy Probation Officers (DPOs) who begin providing services to
YOTP youth in the institutional setting and continue to supervise and provide for aftercare in the community. After
completion of three phases, youth are released to the community on electronic monitoring (phase four). Prior to
and after release, DPOs coordinate re-entry and ongoing transition with the youth, the youth's family and/or
community support system. The DPO creates a case plan that utilizes community resources to target the youth's
criminogenic needs to insure that the appropriate community services are in place and that the youth has a
smooth transition home, as well as the best possible chance at success. To foster a productive transitional
environment, referrals are made to existing mental health and county programs for continuity of care. Youth are
also connected to services that assist with basic needs such as housing, food, ongoing education, and
employment services. Probation supervision is provided to assist youth with compliance to court ordered terms
and conditions in order to increase their chance of success, provide for the safety of victims and mitigate risk to
the community.

Contra Costa County Probation utilizes JJCPA funds to staff ten Deputy Probation Officers (DPOs) at public high
schools within several communities in the county. This collaboration between Probation and local schools
employs a variety of preventative strategies designed to keep youth from entering or re-entering the juvenile
justice system.
DPOs provide supervision for youth on informal probation or who have been adjudged wards who attend their
assigned school and provide referrals for supportive community resources to the youth and their families. DPOs
facilitate evidence based practice programs, utilize risk assessments to identify criminogenic needs, develop case
plans, complete court reports, provide services to victims and participate in collaborative operations and projects.
School specific services are also made available by the DPOs that include the facilitation of conflict resolution to
teach the youth to use non-violent communication strategies. They also participate in the School Attendance
Review Board (SARB) which assists the schools in preventing truancy. General assistance is provided that
includes reaching out to youth who present as high risk, but have not yet had contact with law enforcement. Many
of the youth who present as high risk have been suspended on numerous occasions and exhibit behavioral
issues in the classroom. It is the goal of the School DPO to facilitate early interventions which divert youth from
the system using appropriate behavior modification techniques and targeted community provider referrals.
School age youth who have been in custody or foster care placement and are returning to the community receive
assistance from the High School DPOs with their re-enrollment back into school. The DPO meets with the family
to identify any needs that they may have and develop strategies to ensure their successful reintegration.
Prior to the change in data collected for the JJCPA in 2016, a small amount of the Contra Costa County JJCPA
allocation was utilized for professional data evaluation and reporting services for the Deputies in High Schools
Program.

JJCPA funds are utilized to pay for three Deputy Probation Officers to provide aftercare and re-entry services to
male youth who have successfully completed a commitment, which could range from six months to a year, at the
Orin Allen Youth Rehabilitation Facility (OAYRF).
The OAYRF is an open setting ranch/camp facility that houses youth whose risk and needs indicate that
placement in such a setting would aid in their rehabilitation. The OAYRF provides services for youth who have
committed less serious offenses than the youth committed to the Juvenile Hall residential program, YOTP.
OAYRF DPOs allow for continuity of care as young men reintegrate into the community. The DPOs begin
supervision during the custodial phase of the program and continue to provide service during transition and after
release. Similar to other Contra County treatment program re-entry models, case plans are developed with the
youth and their family or support system that identify resources that continue to target the criminogenic needs
identified earlier in the youth's program. DPOs also insure that basic needs such as housing, food, ongoing
education, and employment services are met. Youth that complete the OAYRF program are connected to county
providers such as mental health services to increase their opportunities for success.
Prior to the change in data collected for the JJCPA in 2016, a small amount of the Contra Costa County JJCPA
allocation was utilized for professional data evaluation and reporting services for the OAYRF Aftercare -Safe
Futures Program.

Contra Costa County utilizes JJCPA funds to provide seven Deputy Probation Officers (DPOs) to community
police agencies throughout the county that focus on high risk youth and at risk chronic youthful offenders.
Similar to the DPOs in High Schools program, DPOs assigned to police agencies provide supervision and
referrals for youth and their families, facilitate EBP programs and risk assessments, develop case plans, complete
reports for the court, provide services to victims, and participate in collaborative operations and projects. DPOs in
police agencies work on the front end at the time of arrest or citation and are a valuable resource for an arresting
officer when determining if a youth should receive diversion services, informal probation services, or formal
probation interventions. The DPOs communicate with victims, schools, parents and the youth to inform the best
course of action to address at risk behaviors. The vetting process provided by the DPO to the police agency is a
preventative tool to keep youth out of the juvenile justice system whenever possible.
Prior to the change in data collected for the JJCPA in 2016, a small amount of the Contra Costa County JJCPA
allocation was utilized for professional data evaluation and reporting services for the Community Probation
program.

Contra Costa: Data Trend Analysis
ANALYSIS OF COUNTYWIDE TREND DATA for: Contra Costa
Government Code Section 30061(b)(4)(C)(iv) & WIC Section 1961(c)(3)
Provide a summary description or analysis, based on available information, of how the programs, placements,
services, strategies or system enhancements funded by JJCPA-YOBG have, or may have, contributed to, or
influenced, the juvenile justice data trends identified in this report.
The Contra Costa County Probation Department utilizes JJCPA and YOBG funding to provide two custodial
programs, one after-care program and assign Deputy Probation Officers to targeted police agencies and high
schools. In 2016 the County experienced an overall decrease in the juvenile population. At the high school and
police agency level the downward trend in juvenile probation population may be attributed to many police agencies
offering diversion before a citation is sent to the Deputy Probation Officer (DPO). Police agencies are attempting
to divert youth out of the juvenile justice system at the earliest possible stage. Similarly, the Deputy Probation
Officers in High Schools and throughout the Juvenile Division in Contra Costa County offer informal supervision
utilizing community resources in as much as possible.
The Orin Allen Youth Rehabilitative Program (OAYRF) - aftercare is also seeing a decrease in population. This is
as a direct result of the overall population decrease in the Juvenile Hall and the OAYRF. Time will tell if youth are
experiencing more success on re-entry after completing the custodial portion of their program due to enhanced
psychiatry services. In 2016 OAYRF aftercare was improved by utilizing a risk assessment tool to inform
criminogenic needs upon release and offering Functional Family Therapy (FFT) earlier in the process, one month
prior to release.
In 2016, the Contra Costa County Juvenile Hall eliminated the use of room confinement as a sanction/punishment
and began to utilize a newly created strength based Behavior Management System (BMS) that incorporates Core
Correctional Practices and Cognitive Behavioral Treatment interventions. The new BMS was fully implemented in
2016 on the two YOBG funded units; the Girls in Motion Program (GIM) and the Youthful Offender Treatment
Program (YOTP). As a result of utilizing the new system and improving staff interactions with youth, room
confinement utilized for safety and security purposes dramatically decreased. The programs also began collecting
data on the needs of the youth and it was discovered that a large number of the youth are intellectually disabled,
emotionally disturbed, have cognitive processing disorders, or have other significant mental health issues. As a
result of the data collected and as component of the BMS, a Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) was created and
worked collaboratively to create behavioral intervention plans for those youth in need. The MDT is comprised of
Juvenile Hall, Mental Health, Medical and Education staff. Over the course of 2016 and early 2017 the BMS was
implemented on all units at the Juvenile Hall which has significantly improved staff's interaction with the youth,
provided for a new system of positive incentives, and has allowed for individual treatment and case planning for
each youth that specifically addresses the youth's disability and criminogenic needs.

The programs will include upkeep of a greenhouse and the PAW (Puppy and Wards Program) which will teach
the youth responsibility and how to care for something other than themselves. The funding will cover the cost of
supplies for the greenhouse and startup costs of the PAW program. The PAW program will not only benefit the
youth, but also the animal shelter in our community. Our animal shelter is always over capacity. This will allow
dogs to be cared for and adopted out from the Juvenile Hall. In addition, taking care of a dog can improve a
youth's mental health by lessen the youth's loneliness, give them purpose, make them smile, and offer
unconditional love, all of which the youth need while being detained in the Juvenile Hall. The greenhouse will
supplement the Juvenile Hall with fresh fruit and vegetables.

Electronic monitors is a program designed for our youthful offenders. Electronic Monitors allows the Probation
Department to supervision a juvenile in his own residence as ordered by the Court. Electronic Monitoring closely
monitors the youth’s activities and alerts the probation officer if the youth is in an area he is not authorized to be.
A juvenile is placed on this program under strict guidelines to help him become more accountable for his
decisions and attitude. Electronic Monitoring also assists the parent and probation in closely supervising a child
who has demonstrated problems in school, home and/or with the law. Electronic Monitoring is used as a less
restrictive alternative to secure detention. The funds will be used to pay for the monitoring of these youth.

The Juvenile Assessment and Intervention System (JAIS) is a gender-specific risk assessment supervision
strategy model that weaves together a risk assessment and a strength and needs assessment. It is designed as a
one-on-one interview with the youth, much of which focuses on the underlying motivation for illegal behavior. This
process puts probation officer in a more proactive position in the relationship with the youth, builds rapport
between the youth and probation officer, and better equips the agency to leverage the limited resources of staff
time and treatment programs. The funding will be used to pay for the Automon-JAIS system.

Probation Officer's are assigned to high schools that have been identified as having the majority of "at-risk" youth
and students who are receiving probation services. Due to declining populations of delinquent youth, in FY 15/16
modifications were made to the CART program to expand program to all students in a seat based school
program, regardless of the school each attends.
The services and actions of the Deputy Probation Officers assigned to the CART Program schools have
continued to assist juvenile offenders with improving school attendance, school behavior, and academic
performance. The CART Program identifies appropriate services for youth and their families, holds juveniles
accountable to their conditions of probation, and continually strives to deter future delinquent activity. The CART
Program also continues to assist in establishing and maintaining collaborative alliances with the school and
community to assess and provide appropriate services for families and “at-risk” youth who are not under probation
supervision, providing safer schools and neighborhoods throughout El Dorado County.

The PACT risk and needs assessment tool will be used by the Deputy Probation Officer to develop a case plan
that will identify the needs and treatment program specifically for the minors. The PACT and case managed
services are both evidence based practices. Once the case plan is developed, appropriate referrals are made to
a full range of service providers and treatment programs. The YOBG funds will pay for the contracted costs
associated with licensing and maintaining PACT assessment tool including the training of Probation staff.

The Truancy Intervention Program (TIP) is a collaborative program between Fresno County Probation and the
Fresno County Superintendent of Schools. School districts within Fresno County participate in this prevention
program that helps decrease truancy, improve school attendance and increase learning+A355 opportunities.
Success of this program is measured by the average daily attendance levels within the Districts participating in
TIP. There are two Deputy Probation Officers assigned to this program and their duties include but are
necessarily limited to, providing support to the TIP system as developed by the Districts and Probation,
participating in school site meetings with parents/guardians, attending School Attendance Review Board
meetings when possible, assisting schools in supervising identified chronic truants, and participating in the
training of school district personnel. The YOBG funds partially pay for two Deputy Probation Officers that are
assigned to the TIP. The school districts through the Fresno County of Superintendent also provide funding for
this program.

School-Based Probation is well established for creating a partnership between Juvenile Probation Departments
and local schools that place Deputy Probation Officers (DPO's) directly within the confines of the school. This
program targets students who are under the supervision of the Court. The benefit of school-based probation is
that it increases the contact between the officers and the youth. The department will utilize five DPO's in
mainstream high schools in the Fresno Unified School District, the largest school district in the City and County of
Fresno: Bullard, Sunnyside, Roosevelt, Edison, and DeWolf. They also have access to the connected alternative
high schools, as well as their feeder elementary and middle schools. Supervision of minors on formal probation
will be carried out by DPO's who are assigned full-time to the Campus Unit. In addition, all of the FUSD High
Schools involved in this project operate a Juvenile Youth Court on the campus, and evidence based practices
where students who are first-time offenders are held accountable by their peers. The Campus DPO can also
utilize Youth Court as an alternative to filing a formal petition, thus avoiding Delinquency Court
A DPO is assigned to Central Unified School District, which will also provide supervision for minors on formal
probation to ensure accountability and compliance with Juvenile Court orders. Officers assigned to the campuses
will help to maintain school safety, monitor student attendance and behavior, and provide a partnership with other
law enforcement officers assigned by their agencies. A probation/police partnership also exists, to take
enforcement action, when necessary Contacts with probationers will be made on campus, in the minor's home,
and in other areas of the community.
There will also be two DPO's assigned to work with probationers at the five Clovis Unified High Schools within
the city. They will be assigned full-time to the Clovis Unified School District (CUSD) campuses, where they will
provide an adjunct to CUSD Police Department team and will also work closely with the Clovis Police Department
in a united effort to divert minors from further involvement with the Juvenile Justice System. Offices for the DPO's
are available on campus, as well as in the Clovis Police Department, to allow closer and more frequent
interaction between the juvenile probationer and the DPO.
The next school partnership is found in the geographical outlying areas of the county. East and West County
supervision officers will provide supervision with collaborative partners' school and police partners. There will be
four DPO's assigned full-time to serve the rural areas of Fresno County. Two DPO's will assigned to the East and
two will be assigned to West county, with one assigned to Reedley High School and the other to Selma High
School. There will also be two DPO's stationed in the Western area with one assigned to Coalinga Police
Department and the other to Kerman High School. Each DPO will become a case manager for his/her
geographical area and will make personal contact with probationers in their homes, school, and in the
community.

The Fresno County Behavioral Health Court (BHC) is a Juvenile Delinquency Superior Court program designed
to adjudicate and provide treatment plans for minors who are at high risk to the community as indicated by their
assessed and demonstrated mental health impairment.
A DPO will be assigned to a caseload of high-risk probationers, who have demonstrated mental health needs
requiring specialized assistance. Many have a history of violence and failed response to past treatments. Minors
must have an Axis I diagnosis (defined as clinical disorders, including major mental disorders and learning
disorders) as described in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). They must also have
an assessment completed by a mental health therapist and a screening done by a mental health team prior to
Court disposition, to determine appropriateness for the program. Each ward must meet the Suitability and
Eligibility criteria for the program and the BHC multidisciplinary team will decide if the minor is suitable for the
program. This is multi-disciplinary approach which includes the Probation Department, Fresno County
Delinquency Court, District Attorney, Public Defender, University of San Francisco Medical staffer, Dr. Allison
Kraus, the Fresno County Mental Health Department, Families First, and the Fresno County Office of the
Superintendent.
The program goals are to reduce the arrest, incarceration, and violation of probation rate and to increase the
successful completion of probation rate. The BHC program also provides Assertive Community Treatment (ACT)
and Motivational Interviewing, which are evidence based practices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) includes
the follow three phases of the program; Assessment and treatment plan development, implementation of
treatment plan, and monitoring and stabilization.
Frequent contacts with the minor and parent(s) is carried out by the program staff and DPO's. For each ward,
there are rewards and consequences for meeting and/or not meeting their goals. Minors are assigned therapists,
such as case management specialists, family specialists, substance abuse specialists, and others who see them
frequently. Parents must also agree with treatment for the minor and themselves, if appropriate.
Families First counselors are trained in Managing and Adapting Practices (MAP) for the clients they serve. MAP
has taken massive research on evidence based practices and broken them down into specific elements and
chronicled them into a database. This way clinicians can utilize evidence based practices into their work which
research has shown to be effective. Additionally, when the ward completes their probation, they continue to
provide treatment/therapy to the client through Assertive Community Treatment. This treatment plan provides
case management medication management, Substance Abuse Specialist, and School/Education Liaison.

A suppression program component will be a County Probation Department Juvenile Sex Offender caseload. This
caseload is comprised of minors and former minors adjudicated in Delinquency Court or who have been placed
on Deferred Entry of Judgement for a sexual offense that requires them to complete outpatient Sex Offender
Treatment. The program goals are to reduce arrest, incarceration, and violation of probation rate and to increase
the successful completion of probation rate, a higher level of collection of restitution and a greater level of
community service completion. The assigned DPO will work with treatment providers, to ensure compliance, as
well as working with the offender's family and the local school districts. Intensive supervision is provided and can
include contact with the offender in the home, school site, Probation Department, or at treatment facilities.
The DPO has case management responsibility for the duration of the offender’s period of probation or DEJ. It is
the responsibility of the DPO to refer the ward to an acceptable outpatient Sex Offender Treatment program,
which usually takes a minimum of 18 months to three years to complete, as well as individual and family
counseling. The Sex Offender Treatment Programs utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical
Behavioral Therapy (DBT) interventions, which are evidence based, in the group setting as well as others, but
these interventions are effective for this population. The group environment is experiential in nature to minimize
the participants defenses, so the group therapists can experience the client as he would operate outside the
office environment. Each treatment provider is responsible for reporting the progress and attendance in
treatment. The DPO will work with all treatment providers, law enforcement agencies, school districts, District
Attorney, and the Child Abuse Review Team (C.A.R.T) to ensure the wards compliance with their conditions of
probation or DEJ.

This is a collaborative effort of the Fresno County Probation Department, Fresno County Department of Children
and mental health systems of San Diego. Intensive drug education and intensive counseling is part of the SAU
program with weekly family therapy sessions to aid in the recognition of addictive behaviors and triggers. The
program also requires a high degree of work related to self discovery of thinking patterns linked to their addiction
problems. The combination of therapeutic intervention and education coupled with parent and family participation
have created a program that is thought to be the largest in the state for substance abuse treatment and a model
for other Probation Departments. A DPO is assigned to the SAU caseload for minors ordered to complete the 180-
day Floyd Farrow Substance Unit dual diagnosis treatment program. While in the in-patient program, wards will
be assigned to a group with a maximum of 10 minors, a mental health clinician, and a substance abuse
counselor. Case management services are provided by the treatment team. Evidence based practices include
New Directions and Cognitive Behavioral Treatment curriculum. Services include, but not limited to the following:
Individual and family therapy, group therapy, multi-family groups, psycho-education, and case management.
Medical treatment and medication therapy will be utilized when appropriate by Juvenile Justice Medical Services.
In addition, the substance and mental health counselors will apply the Therapeutic Community and Motivational
Interviewing with the wards in the SAU program. These practices are evidence based practices and they also
use Gender-Responsive Services, which is considered a best practice. Once youth complete the in-patient
component of the program, they will be released back in the community. The DPO assigned has case
management responsibility for the duration of the offender’s period on probation and will make the necessary
referrals. If appropriate, they will also attend the Violet Heinz Educational Academy (VHEA). For the wards that
live in the City of Clovis, they will be referred to substance abuse services at their specific school site and the
same applies for the wards that live in the rural areas. Each treatment provider is responsible for reporting the
progress and attendance in treatment to the DPO, who will ensure the ward is in compliance with treatment and
conditions of probation. The DPO will also work with law enforcement agencies, substance abuse treatment
providers, and local school districts. Intensive supervision is provided for those high-risk offenders, which can
include contact with the offender in the home, school site, Probation Department, at varied hours and/or on the
weekends, to ensure the compliance of the offender.
The program goals are to reduce the arrest, incarceration, and violation of probation rate and to increase the
completion of probation rate, a higher level of collection of restitution and a greater level of community service
completion.

The Fresno County Probation Department has utilized the Title IV-E case plan for several years as a preliminary
tool in assessing the appropriateness of preventative services for juvenile offenders, designed to prevent their
removal from their home. It has now become apparent that a more sophisticated screening/assessment tool has
become necessary to deal with the complex issue of determining the level of treatment needed by juvenile
offenders, relating to assessing criminogenic needs, and the need for cognitive behavioral therapy.
Consequently, the Department purchased the Positive Achievement Change Tool (PACT) for utilization in new
JJCPA funded program and other programs in the department. The PACT is an evidence based assessment
process and forms the cornerstone of efforts to implement evidence based services for this population.
Program goals are to reduce arrest and incarceration and have a higher level of collection of restitution and a
greater level of community service completion. As a component of their program, those at higher risk are
assessed and seen by the DPO to review their terms and conditions of informal probation. In a collaborative
environment, they will also be referred to agencies which will monitor their completion of special conditions, such
as community service, therapy, and other programs designed to meet their overall rehabilitative needs which
have been shown to be effective in reducing recidivism with this population. DPO's supervising informal
probationers will refer them to the Community Justice Conference (CJC), which is a program of the Victim
Offender Reconciliation Program (VORP) of the Central Valley. Both CJC and VORP utilize evidence based
practices including cognitive behavioral therapy. VORP has been operating successfully for 20 years. With the
assistance of locally trained mediators, CJC facilitates a mediation and restitution process which takes into
account the needs and the concerns of the victim, offender, and the community. CJC gives the people involved
an opportunity to decide how to best address the offense and how to keep it from re-occurring. Once the
agreement is met the offender and the victim, CJC reports to the Court the outcome of the mediation. CJC
monitors the plan and assists the parties in keeping agreements. The DPO's will also work in collaboration with
school districts and treatment providers to ensure compliance with orders of the Court and in particular restitution
collection.

A DPO is assigned to an intensive supervision caseload for auto theft for the purpose of the suppression of auto
theft in Fresno County. An intensive supervision caseload is comprised of wards or prior adjudicated wards in
the Delinquency Court for Auto Theft related offense. In some instances, the ward may be granted Deferred
Entry of Judgement. The Fresno County Probation Department is currently identifying the following cases
between the ages of 14-17.9: CVC 10851(a), PC 496d(a), PC 496(a) - auto theft related, PC 459/460(b) - auto
theft related. Other auto theft related offenses, i.e. PC 466, PC 487(d)(1), CVC 10801, CVC 10802, CVC 10803,
CVC 10804, and any dismissed charges reserving the right to comment and restitution.
With the intensive supervision the goals vary from other JJCPA programs. It is anticipated there will be a higher
arrest, incarceration and violation of probation rate, based on the level of supervision and collaboration from law
enforcement agencies. However, the goal for completion of probation rate, a higher level of collection of
restitution and a greater level of community service completion, will increase.
The DPO will work with law enforcement agencies, treatment providers, and local school districts. Intensive
supervision is provided and can include contact with the offender in the home, school site, Probation Department,
at varied hours and on the weekends, to ensure the compliance of the offender and for the protection of the
community.
A Title IV-E case plan is utilized with delinquent offenders and a PACT assessment is utilized in efforts to
implement evidence based practices and interventions throughout the Juvenile Justice System. Those deemed to
be at a higher risk will be referred to Thinking for a Change, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. The program includes
cognitive restructuring, social skills development and development for delivery to small groups in 22 lessons and
can be expanded to meet the needs of specific participant groups.
The DPO will work collaboratively in suppression activities, with the assistance of law enforcement agencies and
the award-winning Help Eliminate Auto Theft (H.E.A.T.) program, which is a mutual approach in Fresno County.
H.E.A.T. consists of officers from the Fresno Police Department, California Highway Patrol, Fresno County
Sheriff's Office and the National Insurance Crime Bureau. The multi-agency task force is dedicated to effectively
enforce vehicle theft laws and to investigate other criminal activity related to vehicle thefts. In addition, the officer
will work collaboratively with school districts and treatment providers to ensure compliance with the orders of the
Court.

leadership, and recreational opportunities. During the post-release re-entry process from the Juvenile Justice
Campus into the community, youth participating in the program transition to a designated Boys and Girls Club
near their residence and continue their relationship with this organization. The post release services include
case management with the goal to successfully transition participants back to the community.

The Early Intervention/Intensive Supervision Program appears to be having a significant impact in terms of
reducing the total number of minors referred to the juvenile court as well as more minors being successfully
discharged from probation with fewer technical violations of probation and/or new law violations. The majority of
minors being intensively supervised fall between the ages of 16-18. Over the course of the next program year,
program staff will attempt to identify those services that can address the needs of this demographic. As well,
program staff will be working with the JCPSS to reflect the numbers of minors successfully diverted through
informal probation.

Provide a summary description or analysis, based on available information, of how the programs, placements,
services, strategies or system enhancements funded by JJCPA-YOBG have, or may have, contributed to, or
influenced, the juvenile justice data trends identified in this report.
For this program year, the programs funded have afforded the Department the opportunity to provide a two-
pronged approach to juvenile justice in Glenn County. On the front end, the implementation of evidence based
risk/needs assessments has allowed the department to more effectively assess first time offenders and ultimately
reduce the likelihood of continued delinquent activity. As well, for the last several years, fewer youth have been
referred to the juvenile court and those minors requiring a higher level of supervision are intensively supervised
within the community. In addition to the fewer youth being referred to the juvenile court, program staff have seen
a reduction in the frequency of technical violations of probation as well as the fact that the need for out of home
placement has been reduced significantly. Over the course of this program year the Comprehensive Juvenile
Justice Plan will need to be updated to reflect changes in how service delivery will take place given the fact that
the Glenn County Juvenile Hall was decommissioned in May of this year.

YOBG funding is used to support the Northern California Regional Facility New Horizons Program. By keeping
this facility open and staffed, the Humboldt County Probation Department is able to provide a secure facility for
youth to receive services to assist in the habilitation towards a safer community, by increasing youth decision
making skills and improving family functioning within a secure setting. This program is designed to improve the
county’s capacity to reduce juvenile crime by focusing on WIC 602 juvenile court wards age 12-18 who have a
diagnosed mental illness, who are at imminent risk of out of home placement, or who may have a history of
treatment failures in residential settings, but whose adjudicated crimes do not meet the criteria for commitment to
the State Division of Juvenile Justice.
Youth in the New Horizons program are provided Wraparound services including individual and family counseling,
Aggression Replacement Training (ART), substance abuse treatment, Independent Living Skills, and educational
resources.
ART programming is an Evidenced Based Practice designed to develop/improve moral reasoning skills, to
improve thinking/social skills, to decrease aggressive behaviors, and to reduce recidivism. Youth in the facility
earn an average of 29 credits per academic quarter and are usually there for a minimum of two quarters. This
allows youth with a history of poor academic performance and credit deficiencies an opportunity for credit building
and academic success including obtaining their high school diploma in some cases.
JJCPA and YOBG funds are blended with county General Funds in supporting the New Horizons program.
Additionally, JJCPA funding is used to sustain a Senior Probation Officer that is dedicated to assist the New
Horizons youth during the aftercare transition from the secure facility back to the community. A portion of this
officer’s time is also spent operating the juvenile community service work program to enhance a continuum of
sanctions for all youth served by the Probation Department.

JJCPA and YOBG funds are used to support a continuum of juvenile justice interventions. JJCPA funds are
utilized to fund an “in-house” Diversion program- Primary Assessment and Intervention to Reduce Recidivism
(PAIRR) which assists in diverting first time low level offenders towards community services and pro-social
resources. The probation officer in this assignment maintains extensive knowledge of local resources and attends
numerous School Attendance Review Board (SARB) meetings throughout the county. First time (generally) low
level offenders are screened utilizing an evidence based risk tool. Those offenders who are at low risk to re-
offend are offered referrals to local community resources and their case is closed. Offenders who are scored as
low who owe victim restitution and/or moderate risk offenders are placed on an actual contract and monitored for
completion of conditions of the contract which will include any victim restitution and other conditions such as
completion of community service work.

Humboldt: Data Trend Analysis
Humboldt
ANALYSIS OF COUNTYWIDE TREND DATA for:
Government Code Section 30061(b)(4)(C)(iv) & WIC Section 1961(c)(3)
Provide a summary description or analysis, based on available information, of how the programs, placements,
services, strategies or system enhancements funded by JJCPA-YOBG have, or may have, contributed to, or
influenced, the juvenile justice data trends identified in this report.
Because this is a new form of data review and analysis, there is no baseline for which to compare the data.
However there appears to be some discrepancies in the data in part due to idiosyncrasies in reporting the data
to JCPSS and under reporting to Open Justice. Below shows some of the discrepancy in data.
Diversions and Informal Probation (Report 1):
In one geographical area of the county, cases are referred directly by law enforcement agencies to a public
agency (Arcata Police Department) who operates a diversion program. Other cases are referred to the
Probation Department for handling. These offenders are screened utilizing an evidence based risk assessment
tool and are diverted away to community resources at this initial assessment or placed on either a Diversion
Contract or an Informal Contract based on risk score and whether or not victim restitution is claimed. During this
reporting period, Probation received 606 referrals; 290 petitions were filed; 10 were placed on
Diversion/Informal; 57 were rejected for filing by the prosecutor; 249 had no petition requested and were diverted
away from the system with no contract.
Open Justice Data Discrepancy:
A review of Open Justice data shows that in all categories the arrest data seems to be under reported. Based on
the information from our internal case management system which tracks all referrals from both the Probation
Department and law enforcement agencies, there has been under reporting of arrest to the MCAR system. In
2012 Humboldt County began using an updated case management system. When comparing law enforcement
referrals received by probation for 2012 (2012 arrests) with 2012 arrest data in Open Justice, Open Justice
arrest reporting reflected 94% of the referrals received by probation from law enforcement agencies. Between
2012 and 2016, this percentage has continued to decline at a steady pace. In 2016, Open Justice arrests were
only 42% of the referrals (arrests) received by probation from law enforcement agencies. This reporting
discrepancy makes it impossible to consider the number of cases diverted away from Probation to community
programs by the law enforcement officers.
Wardship Placement Discrepancy:
The JCPSS data shows that 60 youth had an outcome of "Secure County Facility". This number is skewed for
two reasons: if a youth is given a placement of "Own/Relative's Home" and is simultaneously ordered to serve a
short-term commitment to detention or electronic monitoring, the data entry clerk must choose only one of these
as an outcome option. Current local data entry practice was to choose "Secure County Facility" whenever a
commitment of any length was given. The other skewing issue is how one defines "Secure County Facility".
Humboldt County generally only commits youth to a secure commitment for greater than 30 -60 days when
committing to the New Horizons program which is a locked facility that provides Wraparound services to the
youth including youth and family counseling, substance abuse treatment, education, independent living skills,
and Aggression Replacement Training. Of the 60 youth reported in JCPSS as placement in a "Secure County
Facility", only 15 were ordered to the New Horizons program. The other 45 were either given a short-term
commitment in juvenile hall or on electronic monitoring while placed in "Own/Relative's Home” or "Other"
placement, which includes placement in foster care and residential treatment.
Subsequent Petition/Technical Violation Discrepancy:
Although there is a JJCPA data entry option to report Technical Violations as a Subsequent ACTION, it is also
acceptable to log them as a Subsequent PETITION. Current local practice is to log them as Subsequent
Petitions. Looking at reported data for Subsequent Petitions revealed 66 of the 116 (57%) were petitions filed
for Technical Violations; the remaining 50 Subsequent Petitions filed were for 602 offenses. Consequently, the
50 Subsequent Petitions filed for 602 offenses represents that only 17% of the total petitions filed in 2016 (290)
were a result of previously adjudicated youth committing new 602 offenses.
New Petitions Discrepancy:
Within the JCPSS reporting system, the 174 New Petitions filed do not reflect individual youth who incur their
first filed petition. It is our understanding that because youth are considered “new” in JCPSS until their petition
reaches a final conclusion, a youth may incur multiple petitions prior to a final conclusion which will all be
counted as “new”. When reviewing New Petition data, one must be mindful of this discrepancy.

Imperial County Probation Department continues to contract with Rite Track LLC(RT) for operation of an Evening
Learning Center (ELC) after school from 3:30 to 8:30 pm during the high crime periods. The target population
consists of youth at risk between the ages of 14 to 19 of being removed from their homes or transitioning back
from out-of-home placements. RT had 37 successful graduates,18 program completions, 41 referred to higher
level of care and 6 unsuccessful discharges during the fiscal year 2016/17.
The 2016/2017 fiscal year RT developed an Interagency Meeting Committee consisting of Schools, IVROP,
Probation Officers, Mentors and Clinicians. Due to these monthly Interagency meetings, RT staff is able to access
students' progress, performance, current setbacks and develop a higher quality plan.
RT continues to work with Behavioral Health giving RT student's priority and expediting their service waiting time.
Through this partnership, RT students no longer have to wait thirty days to see a Dr. and receive individual, family,
alcohol/drug and crisis intervention in less than seven days.
The ELC established a partnership with First Baptist Church in El Centro. Through this partnership, RT students
can complete their community service hours and give back to their community by beautifying it. Students are
currently working on an under the sea mural inside the children's learning area.
The ELC incorporated 2 new recreational activities. Through the Behavioral Health partnerships, students have
access to a Monday Music class and Tuesday Tai-Chi class. These sessions help students' self-esteem, personal
awareness and learn how to better manage their behaviors and feelings while at the same time reduce their levels
of stress.
One of the barriers Imperial County Probation Department continues to face each fiscal year is the number of slots
available for participants, as this becomes a funding issue in combination with JJCPA/YOBG.

In August of 2015, the idea of establishing a garden for the Juvenile Hall was presented to the Chief Probation
Officer. The goal was for youth to learn about the delicate balance between living and surviving through a hands-
on application. In fiscal year 2016/2017 the Garden of Dreams became a reality with a master gardener in
collaboration with Esther Huff School teachers. The Master Gardener held 21 sessions with 5 youth per session,
the youth helped plan, plant, harvest and maintain the garden. The garden was harvested by the youth and
donated to their families and consumed during the youth's family night. The garden taught the youth how important
it is to get along and work collaboratively to produce something good, as well as leadership skills and responsibility.
The teachers taught the youth good eating habits to help develop a healthy lifestyle. Also, included in the lesson
plan was teaching the youth how to create a garden with current environmental issues.
Funding through YOBG allowed for purchase of compose, seed, drip irrigation supplies and safety apparel for
youth to work in the garden.
The current barrier is that youth released from Juvenile Hall do not always get to see the results of the hard work
and final harvest.

The Imperial County Probation Department re-developed its Community Work Service (CWS) program for youth
during fiscal year 2016/2017. The program is designed to give youth an opportunity to fulfill the court's mandates
as well as building focus around positive and meaningful service to the community. CWS is a court imposed
sanction that serves as an alternative to detention and holds youth accountable for their negative behavior. Youth
have performed CWS in regards to graffiti, museum and departmental clean-up. Probation has received many
thanks from other agencies including Cities and non-profits for outstanding work performed by the CWS crew.
JJCPA/YOBG funding has contributed in purchasing safety equipment for the youth and overtime for Deputy
Probation Officers as CWS is performed on the weekends.
CWS barriers include weather extremes within our County only allowing for a nine-month work period of the
program.

The Sal/Pal programs allow for youth within Imperial County to participate in outdoor sports supported by coaches
and role models in the law enforcement capacity. Imperial County Sheriff Activities League (SAL) served a total of
256 youth. Activities included flag football, boxing, soccer, summer programs, mentoring, boxing, Polynesian
traditions and karate. The El Centro Police Activities League (PAL) served a total of 1,904 youth with income
levels below $50,000. The majority of the youth come from families of 5 or more and incomes between $20,000
and $30,000. Pal used YOBG funds to purchase soccer equipment, boxing equipment, martial arts equipment,
ring security cameras, program fees, uniforms and the summer electrical bill.
Both programs were able to accomplish so much more and provide better services for the youth of Imperial County
due to available funds through YOBG.
Some barriers continue to be recruitment of youth and families of lower level incomes.

The National Youth Project Using Minibikes (NYPUM) is a mentoring program that offers the youth of America an
opportunity to develop their self-esteem, values for daily living, and a sense of belonging using the minibike as a
motivational tool. The NYPUM program is under the direction of the City of El Centro. The City works closely with
the Juvenile Hall and Probation in efforts to deter repeat offenses among youth. The NYPUM program received 30
referrals during fiscal year 2016/2017. Using minibikes lures youth to the outdoor activities and the excitement of
riding provides incentives to improve their lifestyle. Youth learn teamwork, fair play, trust, respect for property,
discipline and other skills through trail riding. The accomplishment during the fiscal year was youth learning how to
ride a minibike using safety precautions, how to make minor repairs to their minibikes and outdoor camping
activities. The highlight of NYPUM, youth convert their old helmets into "Planter Trophy's" for children.
The NYPUM program youth numbers continues to grow, decreasing the number of minibikes being used which in
turn limits participation. All funding for the NYPUM program is provided through YOBG.

During fiscal year 2016/2017, Probation hosted its first AB12 recognition ceremony for non-minor dependents
(NMD) funded through YOBG. This program was established to recognize foster youth who have transitioned from
delinquency. The goal for this program is to enable youth to maintain a safety net while experiencing
independence in a secure and supervised living environment. The Probation Officers assigned to the NMD meets
with them monthly to ensure that they are continuing to meet the eligibility requirements.
The AB12 recognition ceremony was held on December 23, 2016 at the Marantha Steak House for NMD and their
families for a total of 30 participants. The youth were acknowledged for their achievements as they also build
camaraderie's which provided them with additional resources and support among our local community based
organizations.
One of the obstacles in putting the recognition ceremony together has been finding the location and right time to
meet due to the youth families job demands and transportation barriers.

Imperial County Probation Department along with the Imperial County Juvenile Justice Commission, work together
to coordinate an annual Youth Summit event. The Summit's goal is to develop problem solving skills among youth
and parents, build awareness of community resources and educate them on the importance of education, life skills
and healthy lifestyles. Invitations to the Summit are provided to youth of delinquency and dependency arenas as
well as local middle schools and high schools throughout Imperial County. During the fiscal year 2016/2017,
approximately 300 youth and parents participated in the Summit.
YOBG funding supports life skills services administered to youth at the Summit and the Keynote speaker.
One of the Summit's barrier is transportation to and from the schools within Imperial County. However, with
additional funding from YOBG this issue could be resolved.

Imperial County Probation Department through JJCPA continues to fund 2 Deputy Probation Officers (DPO)
assigned to the Evening Learning Center in efforts to decrease truancy, arrest rates, admittance to Juvenile Hall
and improve successful completion of probation. The DPO's assigned to the ELC support and reinforce program
staff in their efforts to guide and instruct youth in pro-social after school activities.
Currently, there are 3 DPO's assigned to the high-risk caseload for juveniles funded through JJCPA with a
caseload of no more than 30 minors. Through a risk assessment tool, the officers are able to target criminogenic
needs and translate those risk factors into treatment objectives and ultimately into relevant interventions and
supervision practices.

Government Code Section 30061(b)(4)(C)(iv) & WIC Section 1961(c)(3)
Provide a summary description or analysis, based on available information, of how the programs, placements,
services, strategies or system enhancements funded by JJCPA-YOBG have, or may have, contributed to, or
influenced, the juvenile justice data trends identified in this report.
Day & Evening Learning Center (ELC), RITE TRACK: The ELC has been in operation since December 2009. The
targeted population includes youth ages 14 to 19 who are at risk of being removed from their parents or who are
transitioning back from out-of-home placement. The ELC provides evidence based programming as Cognitive
Behavioral Therapy, Aggression Replacement Therapy, Social Awareness and Moral Reconation Therapy.
JJCPA-YOBG funding has contributed significantly to the pro-social recovery of many of our youths in Imperial
County.
Juvenile Hall - Garden of Dreams: It is apparent that institutions that have implemented gardens within their
institutions have seen an impact on youth's mental, social and emotional well-being. JJCPA-YOBG funding has
contributed in that youth have learned to work together cooperatively improving their social skills with a common
goal and to take pride and ownership. This opportunity will also provide youth with gardening skills for future
employment.
Community Work Service: This program is designed to give youth an opportunity to fulfill the court's mandates as
well as to build focus around positive and meaningful service to the community. It is a court imposed sanction that
serves as an alternative to detention and holds youth accountable for their negative behavior. JJCPA-YOBG
funding has contributed in that CWS has shown to be effective in reducing juvenile crime by involving youth in pro-
social activities and allowing youth to make amends of restitution for caused damages.
Recreational Activities-Sal & Pal: This program allows youth in the community the opportunity to participate in
sports along with law enforcement officers serving as coaches and role models. JJCPA-YOBG funding has
contributed in that this program has shown to reduce juvenile crime by providing youth with after school pro-social
activities as an alternative to delinquency.
After School Services-NYPUM; NYPUM, an off-road mini-bike program for boys and girls ages 10-16, goal is to
address the problems of gangs, school truancy and school behavior through education and prevention of
destructive behavior including substance abuse, truancy, curfew violations and vandalism; teaching youth how to
interact more positively with one another. JJCPA-YOBG funding has contributed in that this program has been
proven to change lives of youth in the community by allowing them the privilege to ride a min-bike as an incentive
to motivate and change behavior.
Mentoring-AB12: The goal is to recognize former foster youth for their participation in pro-social activities and their
educational or vocational efforts toward independence. JJCPA-YOBG funding has contributed in that educational
and vocational training have shown to decrease delinquent and illegal behavior. It has also provided opportunities
to enhance collaboration between Probation, Social Services and Occupational Services.
Other Direct Services-Youth Summit: The first annual Youth Summit took place June of 2010. The goal is to
develop problem solving skills among youth and parents, build awareness of community resources and educate
them on the importance of education and a healthy lifestyle. JJCPA-YOBG funding has contributed in that youth
and parents have indicated that this event provides them with a wealth of information, resources, inspiring Keynote
speakers that positively impact youths' lives.
Moderate to High Case Load: This program is designed to assist youth transitioning back from placement and to
reduce re-entry into residential facilities.

YOBG funds were used in 2009 to purchase and implement the PACT risk/needs assessment from
Assessment.com. YOBG funds have been used yearly to pay the licensing fee to help fund this project. The
PACT includes a substance abuse screening component as well as a case plan development and management
component. The PACT pre-screen assessment will be administered to all Minors referred to probation as well as
the full assessment to all adjudicated minors referred for disposition. This past year we switched venders and had
a cost savings. All minors on probational have this assessment completed.

A new security/camera system with 16 cameras was installed in 2013 with the use of YOBG funds. The system
was projected to allow for yearly updates of additional cameras, workstations, and keyless entry doors. An
additional 5 cameras and two work stations and several keyless entries were installed in 2014. In 2015, three (3)
Cameras were added. The system currently has 24 functioning cameras. An updated security system would allow
for enhanced safety and security of all individuals in the facility. It will also allow all minors to participate in new
programs as additional cameras will be placed in areas of the facility that have no visual contact. The security
system will allow for yearly updates to maximize safety and security and programs in the Juvenile Center. YOBG
funds were used to upgrade the Computer workstations.

Provide a summary description or analysis, based on available information, of how the programs, placements,
services, strategies or system enhancements funded by JJCPA-YOBG have, or may have, contributed to, or
influenced, the juvenile justice data trends identified in this report.
In the past, YOBG funds were used primarily for the Juvenile Hall Youth. JJCPA funds were used to help fund
programs for Alternative education and a Community Based Organization, Healthy Communities, for after
school activities. In 2008, Inyo County began developing and using Evidence Based Practices (EBP) for our
Juvenile Hall Programs using YOBG funds. Since that time, we began to see less recidivism with youth
returning to our Juvenile Hall. Due to decreasing numbers of youth being arrested, detained, and committed to
our Juvenile Hall, a decision was made to convert our Full-Service Juvenile Hall into a 96 hours Special
Purpose Juvenile Hall, using it mainly for weekend commitments. We changed the title of our highly trained
Group Counselors to Rehabilitation Specialists, with the intent to use them to provide services to out of custody
youth and adults. Beginning on September 22, 2016, our Rehabilitation Specialists began serving a broader
population of youth in Inyo County. We began using YOBG funds to serve, out of custody, high/at risk youth
with EBP Early Intervention programing in three local High Schools to help distance these youth from the
criminal justice system. Due to the success, what began as a Pilot Program has evolved into serving 8 schools
in Inyo County with Early Intervention Services for high/at risk youth with the use of YOBG and JJCPA funds.

The Kern Crossroads Facility is a secure residential institution with an operational capacity of 120 beds. It was
created to provide a local institution option for juvenile male offenders, age 14-18, in lieu of a Division of Juvenile
Justice (DJJ) commitment. The rehabilitative function of the Kern Crossroads Facility relies on a program design
that includes use of a validated risk assessment tool, evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy, discipline,
education, work experience, vocational training, athletics, physical education, group living and a mental health
counseling component. Wards attend school half of the day and participate in vocational/work programs and/or
counseling the other half of the day. The custody portion of the program is a two-tiered, 24 or 36-week program
to be followed by intensive aftercare. The facility programing includes two evidence-based risk assessment tools,
the Positive Achievement Change Tool (PACT) and the MAYSI-2 (Mental Health Screening). These tools identify
criminogenic needs and monitor changes in behavior and attitude. Other Evidence-Based Programs include:
Aggression Replacement Training (ART), Thinking for a Change, Strengthening Families, Stages of Change and
Straight Ahead.
YOBG funds paid for the salaries and benefits of 3 Juvenile Corrections Officer III's and 10 Juvenile Corrections
Officers who work with the youth in the program. Title 15 regulations require specific staffing ratios to ensure the
safety, security and supervision of the youth are at optimum levels.

Furlough Treatment and Rehabilitation (FTR) is a short-term, in-custody 30 bed program for male offenders who
violate the terms and conditions of their furlough release from the court ordered programs: Camp Erwin Owen or
Kern Crossroads Facility. Detention in custody can range from 1-30 days and is based on the nature of the
youth's violation(s) and conduct in the program. The program emphasizes accountability for the youth's
delinquent behavior and uses journaling, family interaction, and self-assessment to assist them in their
rehabilitation. The youth also receive individual mental health sessions, substance abuse services, stress
management, and life and social skills training. Upon release the youth re-enter the community and are
supervised by Probation Officers in the Aftercare Unit. The program also houses and provides orientation for
youth initially entering Camp Owen or Crossroads facilities.

Youth are under commitment to local custodial programs (Pathways Academy, Camp Erwin Owen, and Kern
Crossroads Facility) for one year, serving a portion of that time in custody and the remainder of the time on
furlough release. These youths are composed primarily of those who, because of their level of delinquent
behavior, require intensive supervision. Aftercare caseloads are typically comprised of probationers who may be
criminal street gang members or gang affiliated violent offenders, habitual offenders and substance abusers. The
primary goal of the Aftercare Program is to increase efforts towards successful transitions from custody to
community; geared toward eliminating the offenders’ criminal and delinquent behaviors that have been identified
through evidence-based assessments.
Other responsibilities include continual monitoring of completion of Court-ordered programs, restitution payments,
weekly reporting, school attendance and behavior and monitoring any new law violations. Any violations of the
terms and conditions of probation, furlough terms, and new law violations may result in referrals to appropriate
resources, furlough detention, the filing of a WIC 777(a) Petition, or referring the matter to the District Attorney.
Aftercare Probation Officers are also responsible for monitoring referrals made to community agencies and the
documentation of all referrals to community resources, along with progress made, or lack thereof.
The Aftercare Unit consists of 1 Probation Supervisor, 1 Deputy Probation Officer III and 6 Deputy Probation
Officer I/II's. They continue to participate in both the Review Board and Pre-Release meetings at all three
facilities. These meetings give the Probation Officer an opportunity to have input on the services the youth will
receive while in commitment and in designing an appropriate transition case plan for the youth as they re-enter
our community. All Aftercare officers have been trained in Effective Practices in Community Supervision (EPICS).
EPICS enhances officers’ abilities to effectively engage the youth they supervise in developing skills directly tied
into their criminogenic needs.

Gang Intervention and Suppression Team (GIST) identifies gang members in the target areas according to
specified criteria used by the Kern County Sheriff’s Department Gang Suppression Unit, and monitors them for
gang activity within the scope of authority given to Probation Officers under Penal Code Section 830.5. If a
violation occurs, the incident will be subject to intensified investigation. When arrests are made, target subjects
face enhanced penalties under a statutory scheme directed toward criminal street gang activity, Street Terrorism
Enforcement and Prevention Act (STEP) and aggressive probation supervision. Probation case management
includes frequent probationer contacts, home calls, and probation searches. The team focuses on suppression
activities and intelligence gathering activities which will develop very specific and detailed information on each
member in the gang as well as proof of gang affiliation. During interviews of target members, gang membership
is documented through field interview cards. This process will assist in the prosecution of crimes under the STEP
Act. This will also assist in prohibiting targeted gang members from associating with one another in specific
areas, resulting in the disruption of the basic mechanism of criminal street gang activity and negative group
behavior.
GIST currently consists of 1 Probation Supervisor, 1 Deputy Probation Officer III, and 6 Deputy Probation Officer
I/II’s. GIST is committed to proactively increasing public safety especially in those areas of Kern County affected
by criminal street gangs. GIST has taken on the supervision of youth previously committed to DJJ who have
returned to the community and been placed under the authority of the Juvenile Court, along with probationers with
identified gang involvement.

Provide a summary description or analysis, based on available information, of how the programs, placements,
services, strategies or system enhancements funded by JJCPA-YOBG have, or may have, contributed to, or
influenced, the juvenile justice data trends identified in this report.
The Kern County Probation Department provides a continuum of services for minors who enter the Juvenile
Justice System. The department continues to provide services to non-707(b) offenders assessed as high or
moderate risk to reoffend. Our department's approach to providing services to youthful offenders remains
focused on the principles of effective intervention: risk, needs, treatment and fidelity. Upon being placed on
probation, every youth is assessed using the Positive Achievement Change Tool (PACT) instrument to determine
his/her risk level and top criminogenic needs. As a result, dispositional options to address the youth's most critical
needs are recommended to the Court. Case planning based on the results of the PACT assessment drives the
treatment plan. Youth committed to one of our in-custody treatment facilities are provided with evidence-based
programming and treatment with the goal of providing a higher dosage of treatment hours to the youth with the
highest probability to reoffend. A pre-release meeting is held with the minor and his/her parent(s), along with
multidisciplinary team members who work together to determine a community re-entry plan that is best suited to
facilitate a successful transition. The population of juvenile offenders in the JJCPA programs are also the majority
of offenders who receive services provided in the YOBG funded programs. The coordination between the two
plans occurs in that the YOBG services focus on assessing and treating the minor while in-custody or in a
specialized educational program and the JJCPA funded programs focus on the same offender when out of
custody.

YOBG funding was utilized to cover costs of 1.0 FTE Deputy Probation Officer II, including salary and benefits as
well as services and supplies for the Transitional Officer position. A Transitional Deputy Probation Officer (DPO)
assists youth with re-entry services prior to their release from custody. Upon a youth's commitment, the
Transitional Officer conducts a risk and needs PACT assessment and develops a case plan with the youth, setting
relevant goals and interventions to assist with their rehabilitation. The Transitional Officer reviews the youth's
terms and conditions of probation and makes the necessary and appropriate referrals for school enrollment, mental
health treatment and/or substance abuse treatment and arranges for enrollment upon the youth's release from
custody. We are able to decrease the time the youth may have to wait for services upon their release from custody
by setting up services prior to the youth's release and working with the family to enroll the youth in school.
The Transitional Officer is also responsible for "intake" and determines if a youth will remain detained or if their
case will be handled out of custody. The DRAI (Detention Risk Assessment Instrument) is utilized by this officer to
determine if continued detention is recommended. The officer utilizes the PACT Pre-Screen tool to determine the
youth's risk to re-offend and uses this information to assist in making a decision regarding detention or release.
To prepare for the youth's release, the Transitional Officer coordinates and facilitates Child and Family Team
meetings for the youth in custody that are transitioning back into the home. Family members, providers, case
managers and facility staff participate to develop a plan for the youth to return to their community.
Additionally, the Transitional Officer teaches an evidence based cognitive-behavioral program called Forward
Thinking within the facility for youth that are ordered by the court to participate or those that are ordered to
complete the Short-Term Commitment Program or the Long-Term Commitment Program within the facility. The
Forward Thinking Program utilizes strategies to assist youth involved in the criminal justice system in making

YOBG funds pay for a 0.5 FTE contracted through Kings View Mental Health to provide dual diagnosis treatment
(mental health and alcohol and other drug) for those youth residing in the outlying areas of Kings County. There
are typically little or no services in the outlying areas and transportation is an obstacle for our youth. Services are
provided to youth in outlying areas of the county that would otherwise not receive services. Public transportation is
inadequate and the majority of the youth we serve do not have reliable transportation into the more populated
areas of the county where most services are provided.
Individual and group substance abuse treatment is provided to our youth in all areas of the county. Our contract
provider is able to assess the needs of our youth quickly upon referral and provide any needed services timely.
The probation department receives regular progress reports regarding attendance and progress in treatment, to
ensure the youth is benefitting from services.
Kings View is required to employ evidence based practices and have incorporated Dialectical Behavioral Therapy
(DBT) in their treatment. DBT is a comprehensive cognitive-behavioral treatment for complex mental disorders.
DBT serves these five functions: enhances behavioral capabilities, improves motivation to change, assures that
new capabilities generalize to the natural environment, structures the treatment environment in ways to support the
client and enhances therapist capabilities.

YOBG supports the salary and benefits for 1.0 FTE contracted through Kings View Mental Health. Medi-cal is
billed on eligible cases to off-set the costs associated with counseling services. The therapist is located on site at
the probation department and works exclusively with probation youth. Individual and group counseling services are
provided, along with family counseling and dual diagnosis services. Extensive assessments are completed with
probation youth to determine level of services needed and ancillary referrals to other agencies are made when
appropriate.
With a dedicated therapist, we are able to identify youth in need of services much earlier and provide a continuum
of care that meets each youth's particular needs. The number of youth participating and completing mental health
treatment has increased over the last year. We believe this is, in part, due to the dedication of our therapist.

A high-risk caseload has been identified as those youth who have committed the most serious of crimes or have
been assessed to be at high risk to reoffend through the PACT assessment tool. The assigned officer monitors
those youth having committed crimes involving sexual deviancy, those having severe mental health issues, those
with serious gang related behaviors and those youth with violent criminal histories. Additionally, the high-risk
officer monitors those youth returning from the Division of Juvenile Justice. The officer utilizes intensive
supervision of each youth, while including necessary referrals for treatment for mental health issues, alcohol and
substance abuse and other identified risks. The officer is working on establishing case plans to address identified
needs of the youth and developing goals and interventions in an attempt to reduce the risk of the youth's likelihood
to reoffend. The youth identified as being at high risk to reoffend are provided with intense supervision by
probation, thereby increasing public safety. The youth are provided with rehabilitative programs such as Forward
Thinking, ART (Aggression Replacement Training), case planning, intensive therapy and educational services.
YOBG funds pay for the salary, benefits, services and supplies for 1.0 FTE Deputy Probation Officer II.

Our Juvenile Work Program services the county, providing clean up, graffiti removal, participation in community
events and other community based activities. This program works with those youth already adjudged a ward of the
court and are ordered to complete community service hours. The program also provides a referral source for
supervising probation officers who can refer youth rather than requesting a petition be filed for a violation of
probation.
YOBG funds pay for the salary and benefits for 1.0 FTE Juvenile Correctional Officer Sergeant as well as supplies
necessary for the continuation of the program.
The probation department can positively impact the community by addressing the effects of vandalism and graffiti
quickly. An effective partnership has been developed with local law enforcement, businesses throughout the
county and the general public. The program accepts requests for service from anyone in the county.
Although community service alone is not an evidence based practice, this program offers the opportunity to
address behavioral issues of our youth. This program offers a lower level of intervention for our youth that are
determined to be at a lower risk to reoffend, thereby reducing the exposure of those youth to higher risk youth and
more criminally sophisticated youth.

The ability to provide on-going training to staff is vital to the success of our evidence based practices. We are
planning to train additional staff in ART so that we can continue to provide evidence based programming as a
preventative service and to our adjudicated wards. Forward Thinking is an evidence based program that is
provided to in-custody, committed wards and to wards that are out of custody, to provide rehabilitative services in
an effort to reduce recidivism. Ongoing training, updated training and training for new staff will be vital to ensuring
the integrity and quality of the program we provide to our youth.
During the fiscal year, YOBG funds paid for four officers to attend training for targeted foster parent recruitment.
This training has allowed our officers to enhance their recruitment efforts, with the goal of securing lower level
foster homes for our youth in out of home placement.
With the ability to train staff in evidence based programs and have them implement the programs with fidelity, we
can provide more comprehensive services to the youth under our supervision and build their capacity to function as
law abiding citizens.

YOBG funds have been used for maintenance of the PACT assessment tool through a new vendor, Noble, and
ongoing training costs for the tool. There are costs associated with ongoing maintenance, utilization, storage and
training.
We utilize the PACT assessment tool to properly identify the youth's risks and needs and then make appropriate
referrals to evidence based programs or other community programs. Comprehensive case plans are established
with the youth and their parents to address their identified risks and needs in an effort to assist them in their
rehabilitation. The case plan is developed from the top identified criminogenic needs of the youth. The case plans
are monitored regularly by the probation department, with the youth and parent, and with the court.
This tool is utilized in making appropriate recommendations to the court for disposition, in determining
appropriateness for detention or continued detention and to determine how to best serve the youth in their
rehabilitation. The risks and needs of the youth also guide how the youth is supervised in the community and level
of supervision.
The probation department is able to utilize the assessment tool to analyze data regarding trends in criminogenic
needs, risk levels and recidivism rates. This information is valuable in evaluating our strategies to determine
effectiveness of our services and to ensure the appropriate programs and services are available to our youth.

The F.A.V.O.R. Program stands for Facilitating Accountability Victim Offender Restoration. It is a prevention
services program that enables the probation department to intervene at the lowest possible level with first time and
low-level offenders in the juvenile justice system. We offer three-month and six-month programs in which the
youth can complete community service, be referred for any needed services, attend school daily and be monitored
by the probation department for compliance. We offer several preventative services through this program for
younger kids in our local schools and in the community. We have 2.0 FTE Deputy Probation Officer I/II's, 1.0 FTE
Deputy Probation Officer III, 1.0 FTE Juvenile Corrections Sergeant that runs our community service program for
informal youth and 1.0 FTE Department Specialist III.
As part of our program, our officers teach ART in two elementary schools locally. The school chooses which
students will participate and the probation department facilitates the classes. Additionally, we offer a summer
program through a local elementary school for children in 1st through 5th grades. This has been a successful
program and our participation numbers increased significantly in the summer of 2017. We have several guest
speakers to teach the children different skills and expose them to local services such as the Fire Department and
local Police Departments. Many creative activities are incorporated into this summer program and we have
received overwhelming positive feedback from the community.
We offer a college tour program for our youth on informal probation. This program allows our youth to tour big
college campuses within the state of California and get information about financial aid, enrollment and the campus
itself. This is an opportunity that many of our youth may never have otherwise. It opens their minds to the
possibility of attending a large college, creates hopes and dreams of attending college and inspires our youth to
reach their goals. This has been a successful program and youth always want to participate in this program.

and restaurants and are given to the youth as a reward. The gift cards are typically in the denominations of $15.00
or $25.00 and are only given once a program is completed. The rewards have been popular with the youth
participating in the programs and have been effective in that the youth are motivated to do well.

Government Code Section 30061(b)(4)(C)(iv) & WIC Section 1961(c)(3)
Provide a summary description or analysis, based on available information, of how the programs,
placements, services, strategies or system enhancements funded by JJCPA-YOBG have, or may have,
contributed to, or influenced, the juvenile justice data trends identified in this report.
Kings County has implemented evidence based programming over the last few years to include formal
cognitive behavioral therapy to address the risks and needs of our youthful offenders. This approach is
proven effective in reducing recidivism, in assisting our youth in their rehabilitation and in addressing the
issues in their lives that brought them to the criminal justice system. Juvenile crime rates in Kings County
have steadily dropped over the past few years and, therefore, the number of youth supervised by probation
has also dropped.
Utilizing a therapist, dedicated to our population of youth, has proved effective. Our youth have more access
to mental health services, are quickly assessed and receive treatment in a timely manner, specifically in the
outlying areas of our county where services are limited. The availability of these services has improved
participation and has increased completion of treatment over the last year. Furthermore, our preventative
programs allow us to intervene with a first-time offender or youthful offender to address any issues through
informal probation, evidence based classes through the local elementary schools, intervention through our
summer program for young community members and referrals to local services to address their needs.
Focusing our efforts in preventative services and supporting our local families through a collaborative
community effort has allowed us to have a greater impact on the lives of our young community members.
Utilizing the PACT (Positive Achievement Change Tool) risk assessment tool has greatly impacted the
delivery of services for youth on formal probation in Kings County. Knowing the risks and needs of the
population we serve has allowed us to tailor our services to better serve our population. Demographic and
crime data information is also used to determine the needs of the population we serve in the community as a
whole. The probation department works with our community partners to address any gaps in services that
have been identified and to ensure services are available for those in the outlying areas of our county.

The ongoing Youthful Offender Intensive Supervision Program (YOISP) offers each youth an individualized
program of supervision and rehabilitation, based on an objective assessment of criminogenic needs. This
component serves youth who are (a) at enhanced risk to re-offend; (b) have committed serious and/or repeat
offenses; (c) have had extensive juvenile hall detention time and/or (d) could be subject to more restrictive
placement. Youthful offenders placed on this supervision level are selected based on the results of the PACT, the
evidence-based risk assessment tool used by the Probation Department. The PACT is assessed at intake and
every six months thereafter while juveniles participate in the YOISP, to assess and re-assess each youthful
offender's criminogenic needs. The accomplishments from the allocation of these funds has resulted in minors
graduating from high school; having stopped using drugs, and having benefited from more stable living
environments. Some of the funds pay partially and fully for (a) Salary and benefits for FTE DPO and FTE of a
Supervising Senior Deputy Probation Officer; (b) annual licensing fee for the PACT assessment tool and (c)
professional services of consultants and trainers to assure that evidence-based models are implemented with
fidelity and to provide data collection, monitoring and reporting, as needed.

Lake County Probation currently has one juvenile in the Division of Juvenile Justice (DJJ). In order to provide
these services to the youth YOBG funds are utilized. The Division of Juvenile Justice provides education and
treatment to California’s youthful offenders up to the age of 25 who have the most serious criminal backgrounds
and most intense treatment needs. DJJ operates an accredited school district, providing youth with the same high
school curriculum in each of its four institutions that they would receive in their local community. Youth attend
school each day to achieve a high school diploma.

Lake County has contracted with Sonoma County Probation Camp to provide specific services for those juveniles
that meet the requirements to attend. The camp uses a reality-oriented behavioral modification system in
conjunction with evidence based programming to confront and correct individual personal / social problem areas.
Residents are required to progress through an average six-month residential phase, two-month transition phase,
and then complete a 30-day community phase prior to release from the Probation Camp program. The camp
provides several areas in which the residents can receive education and counseling services. They also provide
family counseling, as well as drug and alcohol counseling through AODS staff and on-site Narcotics Anonymous
and Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. Camp also facilitates an education / support group for the parents of
residents, presented in both English and Spanish. YOBG funds provide the youth with residence to the camp.

During the fiscal year, Mendocino Juvenile Hall began incurring significant mental health costs that were derived
from services provided to Lake County juveniles. Mendocino deemed these costs to exceed the amount agreed
upon in the contract. With the approval of Lake County Probation, they began to charge 50% of all Mental Health
Services that were over the specified contracted mental health costs. YOBG funds were used to pay for these
overages quarterly and allowed the juveniles housed in the Juvenile Hall in Mendocino to receive the mental
health care they needed.

offend and/or (c) at-risk of placement. Electronic monitoring was also used as an option for youth served by the
Wraparound Program and for transition youth. Electronic monitoring is a cost-effective resource to control
behavior without detention; protect public safety; maintain youth in the community and prevent future crimes.
YOBG funds have been used to purchase and implement the monitors. From the use of the monitors minors have
learned to follow their terms and conditions of probation while being allowed to remain at home.
YOBG funds have also replaced and provided monitoring devices for those youth and/or families which could not
pay.

Currently all of Lake County juveniles that reside at the Juvenile Hall in Mendocino are on Medi-Cal; however,
while in custody their Medi-Cal coverage stops. When coverage stops Lake County is responsible for medical
expenses incurred by the youth during incarceration. JJCPA funds cover the prescribed medication to youth while

Lake: Data Trend Analysis
ANALYSIS OF COUNTYWIDE TREND DATA for: Lake
Government Code Section 30061(b)(4)(C)(iv) & WIC Section 1961(c)(3)
Provide a summary description or analysis, based on available information, of how the programs, placements,
services, strategies or system enhancements funded by JJCPA-YOBG have, or may have, contributed to, or
influenced, the juvenile justice data trends identified in this report.
The majority of the JJCPA-YOBG funds have been utilized in salaries and benefits, which have been used to
promote job security and decrease turnover rate. Each officer serves a smaller caseload, allowing them to give
more time and attention to juveniles on probation. Smaller caseloads have allowed officers to build better
relationships with the juveniles on their caseloads which has led to a decrease in recidivism.
The Lake County Probation Department has done well at providing multiple services and supports to at-risk and
juvenile offender populations. Funds from the JJCPA-YOBG grants have assisted the Probation Department in
strengthening the implementation of their Evidence-Based Practices (EBP) programs. Funds have been used for
training and helping officers to stay current on established programs and future programs that will be utilized.
Training is an effective way to continue to improve and produce targeted results annually.
Our strategy for use of JJCPA-YOBG funds for non-707(b) offenders is to continue to focus on improving the
results of EBP and Promising Practices through staff implementation, accomplished through the following steps:
1. Identify target populations in probation that have increased recidivism rates.
2. Identify what programs or services are currently in place to meet the needs of this population.
3. If services are being delivered to this population, then a more thorough examination of their application will be
reviewed.
4. If the population is not being targeted for services, then a review of which services and programs in existence
could be applied to assist this population in reducing their recidivism rates.
5. If there are no programs or services in existence that would benefit this population, then research will be
conducted through Results First Clearinghouse to identify an EBP that would effectively target this population and
help reduce their recidivism.
Two new programs that have utilized JJCPA-YOBG funds for training are Girls Circle and Moral Reconation
Therapy (MRT). Girls Circle is the first gender-responsive program in the country to demonstrate effectiveness in
reducing delinquency for girls. As an EBP, Girls Circle has already proven to reduce recidivism while
strengthening healthy identities, educational aspirations and expectations.
The MRT (Moral Reconation Therapy) program is the premiere cognitive-behavioral program for substance abuse
treatment and offender populations. This EBP has proven to lead to enhanced moral reasoning, better decision
making, and more appropriate behavior while reducing recidivism. Lake County Probation’s goal has been to help
strengthen AODS services, and this program will be a great step to accomplishing this. Through funds provided
by the JJCPA-YOBG grants, Lake County Probation hopes to begin implementing these programs before the end
of 2017.

The Lassen County Probation department is looking to establish a working relationship with a local provider to
provide an anger management program to our juvenile offender population. This program would not only be
available to those minors on court ordered probation, but also those youth who are referred to probation for status
offenses. The intent of the program is to ultimately be an additional preventative tool along with Alcohol and
Drugs services, and other mental health needs. The goal in providing specific anger management services is to
prevent those youth in need of services recommitting crimes. Lassen County Probation would like to enhance
their Like Skills programs with the juveniles as well as the gardening program. YOBG funds would also pay for
materials to enhance the Life Skills program for the juveniles. YOBG funds would also pay for materials needed to
maintain the gardening program. YOBG funds would pay for anger management counseling sessions to be used
as an additional preventative tool along with Alcohol and Drug services, and other mental health needs. The goal
in providing specific anger management services is to prevent those youth in need of services recommitting
crimes. Probation Officers complete risk and needs assessments on youthful offenders as a tool to aid in
determining the services needed.

The Lassen County Probation Department used a portion of the YOBG allocation to continue operation of its case
management system with Caseload Pro. It is necessary to maintain the database in order to report the monthly
JCPSS statistics to the California Department of Justice. In addition, the case management system tracks all
minors on probation, detained in the County's Juvenile Detention Facility, who are supervised under electronic
monitoring, ordered to probation for committing minor offenses and traffic offenses, and minors tracked under the
department's Truancy Reduction Program. The case management system also provides statistical information to
the department for other funding opportunities, evaluating current programs/services and the development of new
programs and services available to minors. YOBG funds will pay for the annual maintenance and technical
support for the database. YOBG funds also paid for additional forward-thinking journaling materials. With the
combination of continuing to operate the case management system and using the risk and needs assessment
tool, Juvenile officers can better serve minors' supervision needs and provide appropriate services. The
interactive journaling process will help youth achieve their goals, reintegrate into the community, reduce juvenile
crime and help identify responsibilities. The CASEload Pro will interface with the department's risk & needs
assessment tool. The cognitive-behavioral interactive journaling series uses evidence based strategies to assist
youth in making positive changes to their thoughts, feelings, & behaviors. Completion of the risk & needs
assessment would identify the interactive journal the youth needs to complete for successful reintegration into the
community creating a better continuum of care.

The Lassen County Probation Department utilized the remaining balance of YOBG funding toward the cost of a
current Juvenile Detention Counselor on staff. Juvenile Detention Counselors are responsible for providing
supervision of youth detained or serving court ordered commitments in the Juvenile Detention Facility. Juvenile
Detention Counselors and Probation Officers are trained to facilitate the Forward Thinking Interactive Journaling
program with juvenile offenders. YOBG funds will specifically be expended toward the Salaries and Benefits of a
Juvenile Detention Counselor. With Funds applied toward the cost of a Juvenile Detention Counselor, this helps to
ensure the retention of staff and helps maintain consistency of the staff teamwork providing supervision and
services within the Juvenile Detention Facility. The Juvenile Detention Counselor will be working with the juveniles
using evidence based strategies and the interactive journaling process, which help juveniles achieve their goals,
have successful outcomes and define responsibilities.

The Lassen County Probation Department utilized some of the YOBG funding towards upgrading the outdated
camera system with a recordable camera system, which will eliminate current blind spots in the facility and meet
PREA standards and integrate with our new control boards. YOBG funds will be used to replace the outdated
refrigerator/freezer to insure proper food handling this year. Lassen County Probation is planning to purchase
eight new hand-held radios for Juvenile Hall staff to communicate internally and externally with other law
enforcement agencies for the protection of staff and juvenile's in custody. The AC unit was outdated and YOBG
paid to replace the main old unit to ensure the health and safety of staff and youth. YOBG funds paid to upgrade
cameras in the yard and facility to eliminate blind spots and meet recording statues. YOBG funds would be used
to purchase an industrial refrigerator/freezer to insure proper food management in the new year. Newer digital
Radios would ensure Counselors and Officers can effectively communicate with dispatch and other law
enforcement agencies for the safety purposes. Expending YOBG funds for all of these enhancements will help
insure proper safety to both staff and youth. With the combination of continuing to operate with updated
equipment, Juvenile officers can better serve minors' supervision needs, maintain safety of the facility for
juveniles/staff and provide appropriate programs and services.

The Lassen County Probation Department utilized JJCPA Funds toward the cost of a Deputy Probation Officer.
The Deputy Probation Officer is assigned to work with all the schools that are currently contracted with Lassen
County Probation. The Probation Officers will track students that are truant and/or at-risk. The Probation/Truant
Officers will monitor and supervise truant students as well as juvenile probationers to see that they are in
compliance with the terms and conditions of probation. The Officers will analyze emotional and behavioral
disorders, and assess client’s needs to develop an intervention plan. Prevention Services referred out to was
Public Health, Diversion, Youth Support Groups. The biggest barrier for our County is Transportation since our
County Schools are spread out throughout the county. Lassen County Probations accomplishments are to help
the schools improve their attendance, increase their ADA funding, improvement in academics, reducing juvenile
crime, and improve overall citizenship.

Lassen County Probation has implemented the PACE Program renamed as Lassen Alliance. This program is
designed to assist at risk youth who are in an alternative classroom setting where we have programs onsite to
include Mental Health, Wraparound, Snap Ed, Susanville Indian Rancheria, Lassen Community College, Lassen
Works, and other facilitators to increase success for the student academically. The eligible population will be high-
risk youth unable to participate in a regular education setting due to expulsion, truancy, behavior, academic
failure, and/or criminal activity. This is a non-traditional, multi-agency program designed to meet the special
needs of the individual student who has unique needs that cannot be served in a regular education setting.
Lassen Alliance CDS, in collaboration with Lassen County Juvenile Probation, provides a classroom in which
students are able to earn credits and stay on track for their transition back into a regular educational setting, an
avenue for success, increase academic achievement, and improve attendance. The Program is currently
implemented in the schools but the process still being developed and improved. Lassen County Probation's goals
are to increase school attendance, reduce unexcused absences, reduce referrals for classroom/campus
discipline, reduce school suspensions, improve education test results, increase coping skills, anger management,
and social skills.

Lassen County Probation's strategy and continuing practice of working with non-707(b) offenders has significantly
changed since these offenders were no longer eligible for commitment to the Division of Juvenile Justice facilities.
In fact, with the implementation of a risk and needs assessment, juveniles receive services based on their
individual needs. These youthful offenders are now better served and provided the necessary and appropriate
services. Implementation of the Forward Thinking Interactive Journaling program, least restrictive services and
supervision, using a risk/needs assessment and evidence based supervision practices, has resulted in an
increase of successful outcomes for the population served.

Depending on profile and needs, youth participating in the YOBG program are housed at Camp Ellison Onizuka
(CEO), Camp Glenn Rockey (CGR), Camp Ronald McNair (CRM), or Camp David Gonzales (CDG). Camp
Onizuka offers enhanced services including increased mental health services, substance abuse treatment,
Aggression Replacement Training (ART), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), enhanced case management,
vocational training, and transition planning. The Multi-Disciplinary Team assists in the creation of an individualized
case plans to ensure the needs of the youth were met. The various agencies (LACOE, JCHS, DMH, and
parents/guardians) were involved in the process. YOBG is also used to mitigate curtailments and maintain
operations at CGR, CRM, and CDG, thereby allowing these camps to remain open and provide housing, case
management, small group interventions, behavior management programs, mental health services, education
services, parent resource assistance, and transition planning to approximately 472 youth annually. Additionally, a
LARRC assessment and an individualized case plan is provided to each youth prior to camp placement. At Camp
Gonzales, the Department leveraged and supported a Community-Based Organization (CBO) that provided
services including, but not limited to: Educational Assessment, ILP development, transition planning for education
or vocational education in the community, college/vocational school financial aid application completion
assistance, tutoring, literacy development and mentoring.
In coordination with JJCPA, as part of the MDT process, Deputy Probation Officers assigned to community
supervision are included in the transition process. Depending on the youth’s risk and needs, youth are assigned
to community supervision which includes school-based, housing-based, and after-school enrichment programs
funded through JJCPA.
Youth assigned to any community-based supervision programs had access to JJCPA contracted services
provided by Community-Based Organizations. The risk and needs of this population were included in the JJCPA
funding recommendations approved by the Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council.

The Probation Department changed its focus on how it serviced the aftercare population utilizing YOGB funds.
Since September 01, 2013, Camp Community Transition Program (CCTP) implemented the countywide enhanced
model/pilot assigning CCTP Deputy Probation Officers (DPOs) as "secondary Deputies" during the youth's camp
stay. Under the current plan, CCTP DPOs perform the following services and supervisorial tasks: Participate in
transition planning process for youth; ensure that the transition plan is consistent with the youth service needs;
conduct at least two (2) face-to-face meetings with the youth in camp prior to the youth's release; engage the
family, community and school when the youth is ordered camp to ensure a seamless transition; and identify
educational needs and coordinate immediate school enrollment. The critical aspect of this enhancement is the
requirement for the CCTP DPOs to conduct face-to-face contacts during the youth's camp placement and start
collaboration with partners such as; Department of Mental Health (DMH), Los Angeles County of Education
(LACOE), and community school District Representatives. Early outcomes indicate that this pilot enhanced and
improved our aftercare process. In order for the Department to be successful with the expansion, CCTP DPOs
caseload size must be reduced. YOBG funds are used to convert the current staff to case carrying deputies and
allow the Department to reduce caseload size and successfully implement this county-wide program.
The Probation Department contracted with three agencies (Jewish Vocational Services, Asian Youth, and
Soledad Enrichment Act) to provide educational pathways and vocational opportunity services for credit deficient
Probation Youth transitioning from Camp Community Placement or at risk for removal from the community,
between the ages of 16-18 not within the range of graduation prior to their eighteenth (18) birth date, and reside
within the service area. The program was designed to engage youth in enriched opportunities that result in
educational and vocational pathways that ultimately lead to meaningful employment.
In coordination with JJCPA, the Camp Community Transition Program works collaboratively with the school-based
supervision program funded by JJCPA to assist in the enrollment of youth, enhanced supervision of youth on
school campuses, and referrals for services offered by the school. In addition, re-entry youth are often referred
to one of the five (5) Juvenile Day Reporting Centers (JDRC) located throughout the County. The JDRCs
provided after-school enrichment services to re-entry and high-risk youth utilizing JJCPA funding.

Probation continues to utilize an actuarial risk and needs assessment and case planning in residential treatment
(camps) as implemented in the FY 2007-2008 JJDP to identify high risk/high need youth who were appropriate for
Camp Onizuka, by utilizing two (2) dedicated assessment Deputy Probation Officers (DPOs) and one (1)
dedicated DMH MSW at the Camp Assessment Unit (CAU). These two-tiered assessments assist in identifying
appropriate youthful offender dispositions, programs, goals and re-entry plans, and included the use of a validated
and normed risk assessment instrument, the Los Angeles Risk and Resiliency Checkup (LARRC). Assessment
information is compiled by partner agencies and interested parties, at which time a Multi-Disciplinary Assessment
(MDA) is conducted prior to the minor's transfer to Camp Onizuka. Participants in the MDA meeting include the
youth, parents, Probation staff, Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE) personnel, and Department of
Mental Health (DMH) staff. A resulting case plan is developed and approved by the youth and parents and is
available for the Probation case worker upon youth arrival at Camp Onizuka. Other assessment information (for
example, MAYSI-II, STAR academic testing, DMH Substance Abuse Screening) is used to augment the LARRC
when available and applicable.
In coordination with JJCPA, the assessment and multi-disciplinary case plan are not only utilized to provide youth
with appropriate services while in camp, but are updated prior to the youth's transition back into the community.
The transitional case plan, which is predicated on the assessment and case planning process utilizing the Multi-
Disciplinary Team (MDT) approach, is utilized to ensure targeted interventions are provided in the community, by
community-based organizations that may be funded with Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act funds.
Additionally, the transitional case plan, which included education, is shared with the Deputy Probation Officers’ co-
located on many of the school campuses who could assist with enrollment, referrals to services, and provide
enhanced supervision on campus to mitigate relapse of truancy and poor academic performance.

The Mental Health Screening and Assessment was developed to screen, assess and treat newly admitted youth
to the County’s three juvenile halls. All youth are screened upon admission by a mental health professional in
order to identify those that need treatment and follow-up care. The JJCPA funding was instrumental in
addressing the recommended remedial measures from the Department of Justice (DOJ) Settlement Agreement.
This program shares many components with the successful Linkages Project in Ohio (Cocozza and Skowyra,
2000). In that project, the Ohio county of Lorain created the Project for Adolescent Intervention and Rehabilitation,
which targeted youths placed on probation for the first time for any offense. The project screens and assesses
youths for mental health and substance abuse disorders, then develops individual treatment plans. In conjunction
with treatment providers, probation officers and case managers supervise the youths. An evaluation of the
program found that it provides an important service and coordinating function for youths, the courts, and the
service systems involved (Cocozza and Stainbrook, 1998; Skowyra and Cocozza, 2007). However, success in
this context means the coordination of the agencies and does not imply an outcome evaluation.

Multi-Systemic Therapy (MST) services is comprised of Community-Based Organizations providing evidence-
based intensive family and community-based treatment that focuses on addressing all environmental systems
that impact chronic and violent juvenile offenders, their homes and families, schools and teachers, neighborhoods
and friends. MST works with the toughest offenders ages 12 through 17 who have a very long history of arrests.
Consistently with social-ecological models of behavior and findings from causal modeling studies of delinquency
and drug use, MST posits that multiple factors determine youth antisocial behavior, which is linked with
characteristics of the individual youth and his or her family and peer group, school, and community contexts
(Henggeler et al., 1998). As such, MST interventions aim to attenuate risk factors by building youth and family
strengths (protective factors) on a highly individualized and comprehensive basis. MST practitioners are available
24 hours per day, seven days per week, and provide services in the home at times convenient to the family. This
approach attempts to circumvent barriers to service access that families of serious juvenile offenders often
encounter. A n emphasis on parental empowerment to modify children’s natural social network is intended to
facilitate the maintenance and generalization of treatment gains (Henggeler et al., 1998).

The Special Needs Court is a full-time court that has been specifically designated and staffed to supervise
juvenile offenders who suffer from a diagnosed serious mental illness, organic brain impairment, or developmental
disabilities. The court ensures that each participant minor receives the proper mental health treatment both in
custody and in the community. The program’s goal is to reduce the re-arrest rate for juvenile offenders who are
diagnosed with mental health problems and increase the number of juveniles who receive appropriate mental
health treatment.
In April 2000, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) reviewed four then–recently developed adult mental health
courts in Fort Lauderdale, Florida; Seattle, Washington; San Bernardino, California; and Anchorage, Alaska.
Although these specialty courts were relatively new, the evaluation results were limited but promising (Goldkamp
and Irons-Guynn, 2000).
DOJ also specifically referenced the success of drug courts as a comparable special needs type court. Drug
courts have played an influential role in the recent emergence of mental health courts resulting from “problem-
solving” initiatives that seek to address the problems (“root causes”) that contribute to people becoming part of
the criminal justice population. The judicial problem-solving methodology originating in drug courts has been
adapted to address the mentally ill and disabled in the criminal justice population.
A 1997 DOJ survey reported that drug courts had made great strides in the past ten years in helping drug-abusing
offenders stop using drugs and lead productive lives. Recidivism rates for drug program participants and
graduates range from 2 percent to 20 percent (Goldkamp and Irons-Guynn, 2000). A National Institute of Justice
evaluation of the nation’s first drug court in Miami showed a 33-percent reduction in rearrests for drug court
graduates compared with other similarly situated offenders. The evaluation also determined that 50 to 65 percent
of drug court graduates stopped using drugs (National Institute of Justice, 1995). According to DOJ, “[t]he drug
court innovation set the stage for other special court approaches, including mental health courts, by providing a
model for active judicial problem solving in dealing with special populations in the criminal caseload” (Goldkamp
and Irons-Guynn, 2000, p. 4; Cocozza and Shufelt, 2006).

The School-Based Programs are at the core of this initiative and have as their main objective the reduction of
crime and delinquency in 85 high-risk neighborhoods, by targeting School-Based Probation supervision and
services for the population of probationers and at-risk youths in the schools. A secondary goal is to enhance
protective factors through improved school performance.
The School-Based Probation Supervision Program is based on the what-works and resiliency research (Latessa,
Cullen, and Gendreau, 2002). The what-works research posits that effective programs (1) assess offender needs
and risk; (2) employ treatment models that target such factors as family dysfunction, social skills, criminal
thinking, and problem solving; (3) employ credentialed staff; (4) base treatment decisions on research; and (5)
ensure that program staff understand the principles of effective interventions (Latessa, Cullen, and Gendreau,
2002). A meta-analysis based on 548 independent study samples, Lipsey (2009) reports that the major correlates
of program effectiveness are a therapeutic intervention philosophy, targeting high-risk offenders, and quality of
the implementation of the intervention, a finding that was consistent with the what-works research findings. As
indicated earlier, the School-Based DPOs assess probationers with a validated assessment instrument, the
LARRC (Turner, Fain, and Sehgal, Turner and Fain, 2006). The LARRC is based on the what-works research.
Further, school-based DPOs enhance strength-based training, including training in FFT and MST case
management interventions. Also consistent with the what-works research is the school-based probation
supervision program’s call for case-management interventions that assess the probationer’s strengths and risk
factors, employ strength-based case-management interventions address both risk factors and criminogenic
needs, employ evidenced-based treatment interventions, provide prosocial adult modeling and advocacy, provide
post probation planning with the probationer and family by the school-based DPO, and use case planning
services that emphasize standards of right and wrong.

ACT is a Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office program that targets chronic truants in selected
elementary schools. Program objectives are to improve school attendance through parent and child
accountability while the parent still exercises control over the child and to ensure that youths who are at risk of
truancy or excessive absences attend school. The program goals are to reduce truancy at selected ACT schools
address attendance problems at the earliest possible time before the child’s behavior is ingrained improve school
performance.
An OJJDP paper, Truancy: First Step to a Lifetime of Problems (Garry, 1996), cites truancy as an indicator of and
“stepping stone to delinquent and criminal activity” (p. 1). The paper notes that several studies have documented
the correlation between drugs and truancy. These studies have also found that parental neglect is a common
cause of truancy and that school attendance improves when truancy programs hold parents accountable for their
children’s school attendance and when intensive monitoring and counseling of truant students are provided.
The ACT program shares many components with this successful program. It refers youths with chronic truancy to
the DA’s office. Similarly to what happens in the Save Kids program, the DA notifies the parents of the truant
youth and follows up with a formal criminal filing if the parent fails to take appropriate corrective action. The
OJJDP bulletin on the Juvenile Accountability Block Grants program (Gramckow and Tompkins, 1999) cites the
ACT program and presents it as one model of an approach and program that holds juvenile offenders
accountable for their behavior. A more recent evaluation of truancy interventions, Dembo and Gulledge (2009)
notes that important components of a successful approach should include programs based in schools, the
community, the courts, and law enforcement. McKeon and Canally-Brown (2008) advocates a similar approach
addressed to practitioners.

The Camp Community Transition Program (CCTP), Intensive Gang Supervision (IGSP), School-Based
Supervision and other supervision program DPOs refer youth with substance abuse issues to community-based
providers for comprehensive assessment. A central focus of this programming is to ensure that each high-risk
probationer transitioning to the community from a camp setting is scheduled for an assessment prior to release
from camp and that a community-based substance abuse treatment provider sees the probationer within the first
36 hours following his or her release from the camp facility. If the assessment indicates the need for treatment,
the substance abuse treatment provider employs intensive case management that will require contact with the
youth and probation officer. The program provides treatment through individual, family, and group counseling.
The treatment is holistic and focuses on the roots of the problem and not just on the substance abuse
manifestation. The program conducts drug testing to verify abstinence and program progress. The treatment
provider has access to inpatient services as needed.
Program goals are to reduce crime and antisocial behavior and reduce the number of participants with positive
drug tests. YSA providers work collaboratively with school-based DPOs in developing a case plan that addresses
the risk factors and criminogenic needs of each participant and provide the participant with substance abuse
refusal skill training and a relapse-prevention plan (with emphasis placed on identifying “triggers that prompt drug
use and high-risk situations that encourage drug use”).
YSA is based on the National Institute on Drug Abuse’s relapse-prevention behavioral-therapy research (Whitten,
2005). The relapse-prevention approach to substance abuse treatment consists of a collection of strategies
intended to enhance self-control. Specific techniques include exploring the positive and negative consequences
of continued use, self-monitoring to recognize drug cravings early on and to identify high-risk situations for use,
and developing strategies for coping with and avoiding high-risk situations and the desire to use. A central
element of this treatment is anticipating the problems that patients will likely encounter and helping them develop
effective coping strategies. Research indicates that the skills that people learn through relapse-prevention
therapy remain after the completion of treatment (Whitten, 2005).

The Probation Department’s gender-specific services are consistent with the Office of Juvenile Justice and
Delinquency Prevention’s (OJJDP’s) gender-specific programming and principles of prevention, early intervention,
and aftercare services (Greene, Peters, and Associates and Northwest Regional Educational Laboratory, 1998):
Prevention services aim to eliminate or minimize behaviors or environmental factors that increase girls’ risk of
delinquency (Center for Substance Abuse Prevention, 1993). Primary prevention focuses on helping girls to
develop the knowledge, skills, and experiences that will promote health and resiliency. All girls can potentially
benefit from primary prevention.
Early-intervention services provide early detection and treatment to reduce problems caused by risky behaviors
and prevent further development of problems (Center for Substance Abuse Prevention, 1993; Mulvey and
Brodsky, 1990). Examples of interventions for girls in the juvenile justice system include educational and
vocational training, family-based interventions, and diversion to community-based programs (Mulvey and Brodsky,
1990).
The program aims to adhere to essential elements of effective gender-specific programming for adolescent girls.
These benchmarks include the following: space that is physically and emotionally safe and removed from the
demands for attention of adolescent males; time for girls to talk and to conduct emotionally safe, comforting,
challenging, nurturing conversations within ongoing relationships; opportunities for girls to develop relationships of
trust and interdependence with other women already present in their lives (such as friends, relatives, neighbors,
and church members); programs that tap girls’ cultural strengths rather than focusing primarily on the individual
girl (e.g., building on Afrocentric perspectives of history and community relationships); mentors who share
experiences that resonate with the realities of girls’ lives and who exemplify survival and growth; education about
women’s health, including female development, pregnancy, contraception, and diseases and prevention, along
with opportunities for girls to define healthy sexuality on their own terms (rather than as victims) (Greene, Peters,
and Associates and Northwest Regional Educational Laboratory, 1998).

County of Los Angeles Department of Parks and Recreation and City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation
and Parks agencies, the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), the Los Angeles County Office of
Education, other school districts (SDs), community-based service providers, and the Probation Department
collaborate to provide after-school enrichment programs and supervision for youths on formal probation, as well
as at-risk youths. These after-school enrichment programs take place at county and city parks, schools, and
CBOs. The program offers these services at a time of the day when youths, especially probationers, are most
likely to be without adult supervision, and the services aim to reduce probationers’ risk of reoffending.
The program goals are to provide early-intervention services for at-risk youths and to provide monitoring,
especially between the hours of 3:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. County of Los Angeles Department of Parks and
Recreation and City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks agencies collaborate with Probation
Department DPOs in providing supervision and individualized treatment services for at-risk and probationer
youths. The program strives to reduce juvenile crime by: monitoring peer associations of probationers; providing
homework assistance for participant youths; involving participant youths in prosocial activities.
The Parks program is largely a manifestation of the Communities That Care model (Developmental Research and
Programs, 1993; Brooke-Weiss et al., 2008), which combines research findings that J. Hawkins and Catalano
(1992) articulates about risk and protective factors related to the development of delinquency. Research has
repeatedly identified risk factors associated with adolescent problem behaviors, such as failure to complete high
school, teen pregnancy and parenting, and association with delinquent peers (Tolan and Guerra, 1994; Reiss,
Miczek, and Roth, 1993; J. Hawkins, Catalano, and Miller, 1992; Dryfoos, 1990). Ostensibly, the more risk factors
to which a child is exposed, the greater the chance of the child’s developing delinquent behavior and the greater
the likelihood that this antisocial behavior will become serious. However, reducing risk factors and enhancing
protective factors, such as positive social orientation, prosocial bonding, and clear and positive standards of
behavior, can delay or prevent delinquency (OJJDP, 1995). Communities can improve youths’ chances of leading
healthy, productive, crime-free lives by reducing economic and social deprivation and mitigating individual risk
factors (e.g. poor family functioning, academic failure) while promoting their abilities to (1) bond with prosocial
peers, family members, and mentors; (2) be productive in school, sports, and work; and (3) successfully navigate
the various rules and socially accepted routines required in a variety of settings (J. Hawkins and Catalano, 1992;
Connell, Aber, and Walker, 1995).

The Housing-Based (HB) program provides day, evening, and weekend supervision and services for
probationers, at-risk youths, and their families who live in specific housing developments within the county.
County and city housing authorities partner with CBOs, schools, the Probation Department, and other county
agencies to provide a menu of services specific to the probationers living in public housing developments.
Additionally, this program assists the families of probationers in gaining access to resources and services that will
help them become self-sufficient, thereby reducing risk factors associated with juvenile delinquency.
The program goals are to: provide early-intervention services for at-risk youths; provide daily monitoring of
probationers; provide enhanced family services to probationers and at-risk youths; increase school attendance
and performance; reduce crime rates in the housing units.
The HB program places DPOs at selected public housing developments to provide day services and supervision
for probationers and at-risk youths and their families. HB DPOs employ strength-based case-management
interventions based on the MST and FFT models. The HB program and case-management interventions are
designed to empower parents with the skills, resources, and support needed to effectively parent their children.
Additionally, school and peer-level interventions are aimed at increasing school competencies and performance,
decreasing the youth’s involvement with delinquent drug-using peers, and increasing association with prosocial
peers. A886
The Housing-Based (HB) Supervision program is based on what-works and resiliency research (Latessa, Cullen,
and Gendreau, 2002; J. Hawkins and Catalano, 1992; Latessa and Lowenkamp, 2006) and treatment principles
of MST and FFT (Henggeler and Schoenwald, 1998; Alexander and Parsons, 1982). The What-Works research
posits that effective programs (1) assess offender needs and risk; (2) employ treatment models that target such
factors as family dysfunction, social skills, criminal thinking, and problem solving; (3) employ credentialed staff; (4)
employ treatment decisions that are based on research; and (5) have program staff who understand the principles
of effective interventions (Latessa, Cullen, and Gendreau, 2002).

The HRHN program targets probationers transitioning from camp to the community, as well as those on other
supervision cases who are assessed as high risk. M any of these youths are gang involved, drug and alcohol
users, and low academic performers and have multiple risk factors across multiple domains. Offenders with these
types of risk profiles are known to pose a high risk for committing new crimes on reentry to the community. The
HRHN program employs three service components: home-based services for male participants, home-based
services for female participants, and employment services for both male and female participants. The program
goals are to: improve school performance; strengthen the family; strengthen parental skills; link participants to job
training and job placement.
The HRHN program uses a specific, structured, and multimodal intervention approach (behavioral skill training
across domains—family, peer, school, and neighborhood) and incorporates the phase model of Functional Family
Therapy (FFT). Additionally, such programs as MST and Home-based services place a strong emphasis on skill
training for parents, monitoring peer associations, skill-building activities, and positive role modeling by adults in
the probationer’s social environment.
The HRHN program employs a Social Learning Curriculum (SLC) in its home-based service components. It
targets services not at the participant alone but at the entire family and other parts of the participant’s
environment. It focuses on school attendance and performance, parenting skills, and family functioning. The
SLC is designed as a set of program enhancements to supplement services for HRHN participants. The SLC
provides a standardized approach to service delivery and is designed to positively affect participants’ thinking
patterns, cognition, and social skills; reduce violent behavior; and improve youth/parent engagement (Underwood,
2005).

The Writing Program (currently IOW) aims to reduce crime by teaching interpersonal skills in juvenile hall through
a biweekly writing class for youths subject to long-term detention in juvenile hall. The program teaches creative
writing to incarcerated participants to discourage youth violence, building in its place a spirit of honest
introspection, respect for others (values), and alternative ways of learning (skill-building activities). The program
distributes participants’ writings to parents, school libraries, government officials, and the general public.
The program uses writing to develop interpersonal and communication skills for youths who volunteer to
participate in the program. The participants meet weekly, in sessions that professional writers lead, to write and
critique their written work with others in the group. The program guides participants both in their writing and in
their discussion of their written work, providing experience in building a supportive community. The professional
writers work closely with the participating youths and provide activities consistent with resiliency research. The
program activities involve: clear and consistent standards for prosocial behavior; opportunities to accept
responsibility and accountability for their actions; healthy beliefs: open dialogues in which participants learn
healthy values and express those learned values in writing and public speaking; prosocial bonding with adults
outside the participant’s family; positive adult role models who validate participants’ capabilities and talents;
opportunity for meaningful involvement in positive activities: shared personal insights that benefit all participants;
skill-building activities; interpersonal skills learned through written and oral communication recognition; distribution
of participants’ writing to parents, schools, libraries, government officials, and the general public.
Many juvenile detainees have reading and writing levels significantly lower than their grade levels and can be
considered functionally illiterate. A study that OJJDP funded and that several sites replicated demonstrated that
improving literacy also improved attitudes in detained juveniles. The authors also note that experiencing
academic failure can reinforce a youth’s feelings of inadequacy (Hodges, Giuliotti, and Porpotage, 1994).
Although there is no evidence base to demonstrate that literacy training causes reduced criminal behavior, higher
literacy rates are correlated with less criminal behavior. Resiliency research has shown decreased crime and
antisocial behaviors in programs that, like IOW, are based on the six points listed above (Morley et al., 2000).

The Early Intervention and Diversion Program is designed to provide at-risk youth and their families with the
coordinated supportive services necessary to decrease the likelihood of ongoing delinquency and increase the
potential for keeping these youth and families outside of the delinquency system. The New Direction program will
provide services to youth and their families investigated by the Los Angeles County Probation Department
(Probation) for offenses that do not meet the criteria for a mandatory referral to the Los Angeles County District
Attorney’s Office. The overall goal of this program is that in lieu of delinquency, these youth and families will
receive health, mental health and other important services that will enhance the family unit and divert the youth
from ever entering the juvenile justice system.
The theoretical frameworks for developing the early intervention and diversion program is predicated on the
labeling theory and differential association theory. More recent practices include providing services in a different
setting (community) to minimize the impact of potential dampening of positive effects of treatment and services in
an institutional setting and to include direct therapeutic service based on risk, need and responsivity model.

The expanded programs were developed using one-time growth funds to expand existing programs and services
outlined in the Comprehensive Multi-Agency Juvenile Justice Plan (CMJJP). Expanded programs included
funding for after-school enrichment and employment services, safe passages for youth around school attendance,
other supportive services and a comprehensive JJCPA evaluation. After-school enrichment and employment
services included programming (e.g. arts, parks programs, etc.) and paid job experience/internships/work
experience stipends during breaks in the academic calendar year. Law enforcement safe passage collaborations
enhanced services in areas not previously funded, where there were identified high prevalence of crime and
violence, to protect youth traveling to and from school.
Specifically, the arts programs design supports improving youths' problem-solving skills and social competence
through creative expression in various art forms. (“An Evaluation of an Arts Program for Incarcerated Juvenile
Offenders.” Journal of Correctional Education 54(3):108–14.). The services funded through the Department of
Parks and Recreation is based on the Protective Factors, Social Learning and Social Control theories.
The Safe Passages program is designed to minimize crime in an area that impacts at-risk youths' ability to attend
school and participate in pro-social afterschool enrichment programs. Law Enforcement agencies patrol areas of
high crime during times when youth are traveling from home to school and school back home, allows the youth a
safe passage while mitigating the influence of criminal activity that is easy accessible. Research indicates that
community level factors contribute to the crime and delinquency within the geographical construct. The formation
of community mobilization efforts has been successful at minimizing the influences of anti-social peers and
activities while improving the relationships of at-risk youth with legitimate social institutions such as school.
According to the economic model of crime, employment reduces the probability of engaging in crime by increasing
income, reducing free time available for criminal activity, and the social learning of conventional norms.

Los Angeles: Data Trend Analysis
ANALYSIS OF COUNTYWIDE TREND DATA for: Los Angeles
Government Code Section 30061(b)(4)(C)(iv) & WIC Section 1961(c)(3)
Provide a summarydescription or analysis, based onavailable information, of howthe programs, placements,
services, strategies or system enhancements funded by JJCPA-YOBG have, or may have, contributed to, or
influenced, the juvenile justice data trends identified in this report.
Compared to 2011, juvenile crime in 2016 was more than 50 percent lower in Los Angeles County, whether
one looks at arrests, dispositions, petitions, or out-of-home placements. The reduction was across-the-board,
affecting all types of crime, both genders, and all ethnic groups. What has remained consistent from 2011 to
2016 is the percentage of males (about 82 percent), the percentage by ethnicity (roughly 60 percent Hispanic
and 30 percent African-American), and the most common types of felony (robbery and burglary) and of
misdemeanor (assault and battery). In 2016, felonies accounted for a slightly larger percentage of total
offenses than in 2011 (63 percent versus 52 percent). The same was true of petitions (57 percent felonies in
2011, 64 percent in 2016). In almost all dispositions, youth were represented by either a court-appointed
attorney or the Public Defender's office. The arrest rate per 100,000 persons under age 18 dropped from 3,335
in 2011 to 948 in 2016.
Within Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act (JJCPA) programs, the percentage of at-risk youth receiving
services increased from 19 percent of JJCPA youth in 2011 to 40 percent in 2016, with a corresponding drop
in the percentage of JJCPA youth who were on probation. Within the school-based programs, improvements in
educational performance (increased attendance rates, reduction of suspensions and expulsions) may have
contributed to the fall in juvenile crime.
We believe that the Comprehensive Multi-Agency Juvenile Justice Plan (CMJJP) and Youthful Offender Block
Grant (YOBG) funded programs have significantly impacted the reduced number of youth that have entered
the juvenile justice system over the past six years. JJCPA's initiatives to provide prevention services through
community-based providers and school-based supervision have provided youth and families with resources
targeted to decrease their needs and thereby reduce the risk of recidivism. It seems likely that the YOBG
funding, in combination with JJCPA funds for aftercare, have significantly reduced the number of youth
entering out-of-home care related to petitions for violations and new arrests.

One PTE mental health clinician was assigned to the Correctional Academy and Court Day Program. The
clinician provided individual and group therapy with cadets. The clinician also provided family therapy during the
offenders' placement in the programs. There were fewer offenders recommitted to the academy for remediation.
We accomplished short term recidivism reduction of high risk juvenile offenders through the camp's education,
physical training and counseling programs. A downfall of having a part time clinician limited the ability to provide
family therapy in the evening, after 5 pm. The grant funded salaries of the mental health clinician and related
supplies and equipment at that location, as well as the related curriculum i.e. ART and incentives i.e. sporting
events, trips, etc.

Two Deputy Probation Officers and one .25 PTE Program Specialist worked with juvenile offenders ordered into a
Court Day Program and also with youth at an alternative education school site located at our Juvenile Justice
Campus. The officers were a part of team that facilitated cognitive programs such as A.R.T., M.R.T., Forward
Thinking and made referrals to mentoring. The officers and Program Specialist referred offenders to job
readiness/training "Skills for Success" programs provided by the CBO Work Force Development and co-facilitated
Battle for Change behavior modification program. The program provided positive alternatives through afterschool
programming by giving juvenile offenders viable tools and skills while limiting their idle down time during after
school hours which directly reduced the recidivism rate. The department purchased equipment/supplies required
to run the evidenced based program materials, incentives for the minors included field trips, snacks, gift cards,
sports equipment, end of program celebrations. The department also purchased supplies, bus tickets for
students, and safety equipment.

All juveniles coming through the Juvenile Court System were assessed using the JAIS assessment tool which is
an evidence based tool and provided services and recommendations accordingly. Ultimately the most critical
offenders were identified and supervision levels are based risk/needs scores. Subsequently, within six months, all
juvenile offenders had a reassessment done. Also NCCD conducted continuous JAIS assessment tool training
and assistance for new staff and updates for seasoned staff. More reassessments were done this past fiscal
year, which led us to identify more specific and individualized needs for the offenders. We were able to
concentrate more where needed most, the moderate to high risk juvenile offenders. Funds are used annually
assessment maintenance and training for the JAIS Assessment tool that works in conjunction with our system of
case management.

Our department provided evidenced based training supportive of our YOBG and JJCPA programs not reimbursed
by STC, for lodging, meals and curriculum for Deputy Probation Officers, Probation Technician and Juvenile
Detention Officers. These officers and or technicians facilitated or assisted evidenced based programs already in
place in Juvenile Hall, Court Day School and Camp programs. Professional training created more opportunities
for staff to develop alternative strategies when they dealt with at risk youth thus reducing the number of youth
reoffending. Funds were used for training not reimbursed by the STC, as well as curriculum or associated
supplies purchased that further supported YOBG and JJCPA supported programs.

The department sponsored Big Brothers Big Sisters with over 150 Madera County youth being supported through
YOBG and JJCPA funds. These youths are identified by their school as being at risk and lacking the resources at
home to be successful both in school and in the community. Probation staff and friends of probation are trained
volunteer "Bigs" who share time with the youth. The Bigs mentored and participated in community activities. The
benefits of the probation being involved led to having more at-risk youth that were matched with mentors. Funds
are used to pay one FTE BBBS staff that coordinated with school sites, interview youth, teachers, officers…etc.
The staff also trained volunteers and provide ongoing support to mentors and mentees. Also, BBBS hosted
seasonal events for mentors and mentees.

Six Probation officers supervised high risk youth offenders. Some of which were transitioned from the residential
placement, foster care, Correctional Academy or Juvenile Hall. These youths transitioned to the Day Reporting
Program where they participated in evidenced based programs such as Youth Empowerment Program, Group
Counseling and Battle for Change behavior modification program. Referrals were also made to mentoring, job
readiness/training programs provided by the CBO Work Force Development. Fewer juvenile youth were
recommitted to the camp or hall for violations of probation. More offenders served their violations in the home and
were provided more evidenced based programs that teach them to make better choices. Equipment/supplies
required to run the evidenced based program such curriculum for Young men as Fathers or A.R.T. materials. We
purchased incentives such as field trips, gift cards, sports equipment, end of program celebrations. We also
purchased office supplies and new safety equipment for the officers.

Two Probation Technicians work with the County’s school districts to identify needs of the county’s truant youth
with the goal of increasing school attendance throughout the county. One PT works with at risk youth population
i.e. informal probation by providing supervision to low risk offenders and referring them to family maintenance.
The Probation Technician conducted assessments and referred offenders and their family to an appropriate
counseling and/or drug or alcohol treatment program. The Technician also referred the offender and their
families to Strengthening Families Services Program, a comprehensive family counseling program. Probation
contracted Community Action Partnership of Madera County (CAPMC) to work with offenders in Madera County
and their families through Strengthening Families Services Program. More youth were referred and more families
received focused interventions this past fiscal year. Funds are used to support two TE Probation Technicians to
work low risk youth population and provide referrals to families to contracted CBO for individual and family
counseling. The department also purchased office equipment and supplies.

The Battle for Change engages youth in the juvenile justice system to develop positive interpersonal habits to
make a positive impact in their community. Battle for Change involves physical workouts four times a week and
monthly team building activities. The goal of these activities is to teach at risk youth the value of mutual respect,
hard work, social responsibility, environmental awareness, proactive activities and help them in forming their
opinions through positive independent thought. Probation staff and local community members take youth to
participate in mountain hikes, ice skating, gym access, ropes course, mountain biking and zip line team building
activities.

Electronic monitoring services are contracted through Behavioral Interventions (BI). Electronic monitoring serves
as an alternative to incarceration for youthful offenders by providing electronic supervision for youth released from
juvenile hall or otherwise sentenced to this additional condition of probation. This alternative is used to monitor
minors released from early from juvenile hall and as a component of the court day school program and
correctional academy aftercare.

Juvenile Arson Prevention:
Youth who have committed arson offenses are referred to complete an evidence based fire starter prevention and
intervention curriculum. Cornerstone Counseling provides the service the local youth.
Pathways to Recovery:
In collaboration with Madera County Behavioral Health Services and Cornerstone Counseling a youth sex
offender counseling program was developed for youthful offenders. There was a pressing need to effectively treat
the rising number of youth sex offenders being placed on probation in the county. The “Pathways” treatment
model is an evidenced based model that consists of a cognitive behavioral framework for persons with sexual
behavior problems. The offender’s family and or caregivers were included in the treatment process as means of
developing their ability and understanding of how to support the offender throughout the entirety of their treatment
process.

Madera: Data Trend Analysis
ANALYSIS OF COUNTYWIDE TREND DATA for: Madera
Government Code Section 30061(b)(4)(C)(iv) & WIC Section 1961(c)(3)
Provide a summary description or analysis, based on available information, of how the programs, placements,
services, strategies or system enhancements funded by JJCPA-YOBG have, or may have, contributed to, or
influenced, the juvenile justice data trends identified in this report.
The downward trend Madera County is experiencing is partially a result of Probation Department’s commitment to
Evidence Based Practices (EBP). The department has been realigning caseloads through the implementation of
risk based supervision since 2010. Furthermore, the funds being used for existing (EBP) programs which are all
researched based have proven effective achieving desired outcomes of reducing arrest rates and number of
petitions filed in juvenile court.
First, we look at how the department uses the JAIS Assessment Tool. This is a research based assessment tool
that has been validated to best predict a juvenile’s risk to recidivate and to identify his/her needs. As such,
caseloads have become manageable as cases are divided up into three supervision caseloads, low, moderate
and high. As such, probation officers are more effective delivering services such as referrals to community based
agencies, monitoring, substance abuse services, mental health, mentoring, and work readiness centers.
Our contacts in the community are increasing, thus increasing resources we offer the local youth to develop
alternative solutions to the old way of locking youth up first then figuring out what to do with them. Juvenile officers
and staff are better equipped now more than ever to insure quality assurance because funds pay for more training
that is based on (EBP). As such, the youth and their families are the beneficiaries of our best trained efforts
towards improvement of services we deliver to the community. Lastly, we continue to deliver
prevention/intervention programs that focus on keeping youth out of the juvenile justice system instead of keeping
them in it. We continue to foster successful partnerships with local law enforcement agencies.
We continue to focus on school attendance and grade advancement through our partnerships with local school
districts and we also continue to improve programs based on data analysis of funded programs. We are
constantly using data from qualitative and quantitative surveys to develop best practices at our day reporting
program, academy aftercare program, school restorative justice efforts, curfew operations, truancy, warrant
apprehension teams, mentoring and electronic monitoring programs. Additionally, we have a continued
commitment to educate officers about organizations that work with youth and parents to prevent juvenile justice
involvement. Much success comes with establishing relationships with community based agencies. One of
which has been Central California Youth for Christ which is a faith based community with a social or community
outreach focus.
As we continue to serve the community these funded services and we focus on the youth and families,
streamlining workloads and enhancing our case management, our contribution will be reflected in the downward
delinquency trend.

educational and community service activities. The majority of these funds go to the Marin City Community Service
District to support their teen center program. The Marin City Recreational Center offers drop in activities for youth
in the Marin City community.

Marin: Data Trend Analysis
ANALYSIS OF COUNTYWIDE TREND DATA for: Marin
Government Code Section 30061(b)(4)(C)(iv) & WIC 1961(c)(3)
Provide a summary description or analysis, based on available information, of how the programs, placements,
services, strategies or system enhancements funded by JJCPA-YOBG have, or may have, contributed to, or
influenced, the juvenile justice data trends identified in this report.
Starting in 2013, Marin County developed a strategy designed to meet the needs of the high-risk youth in our
juvenile justice system. This strategy was primarily the result of the Marin County Probation Department's focus
on ethnic disparities and the introduction of a system that utilized evidence-based principles. First and foremost,
we have sought to emphasize work with high risk youth, and seek to divert any youth who are assessed to be at
low risk for recidivism (using the PACT assessment instrument paid for using YOBG funding). Secondly, since a
disproportionate percentage of youth referred to juvenile justice in Marin County are youth of color, there has been
an emphasis on both developing new programs and modifying old ones to meet the needs of this population.
Some examples of this effort are found in programming funded through YOBG-JJCPA grants. A large percentage
of the YOBG funds are allocated to services for Latino youth, including a mentoring program, a youth leadership
effort and a restorative justice intervention designed to keep first time offenders from recidivating. A portion of
JJCPA funds are being used to operate a jobs program that provides assistance to youth interested in
employment. In addition, YOBG funds are being allocated to support an education specialist who works with
probation youth to improve their outcomes at school. Since this strategy was introduced, there has been a
reduction of approximately 30% in misdemeanor and felony referrals to the Probation Department.

information on the types of youth served, prevention services you provided, your accomplishments, any

In 2001, Mariposa County utilized the Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act (JCCPA) funds to create an evidenced
based school probation officer position with the primary responsibility of assisting with truancy issues in the
Mariposa Unified School District. The funds allowed Mariposa County to hire a full-time probation officer to staff the
position. This program has greatly reduced the number of daily truants in the county, as well as the number of
minors requiring referrals to the School Attendance Review Board. The ability to quickly respond to the district,
make an assessment of the situation, and take immediate action when necessary, has been instrumental in the
success of the program. National research tells us that children who do not attend school are at a greater risk to
become involved in criminal activities. Having a probation officer to take immediate action on truancy issues
reduces that risk. With school budgets stretched to their limits, the truancy probation officer is also available to
respond and handle minor discipline issues that arise. The officer is also available to support the schools anti-drug,
violence, and bullying programs in conjunction with our local law enforcement partners. In short, the program is
part of the community fabric committed to insuring that children go to school, and that when they get there, those
schools will offer a safe learning experience. Despite a gradual reduction in state funding associated with JJCPA,
the department has thus far been able to continue this highly successful collaborative program utilizing a blend of
JJCPA, YOBG and county funding. These funding streams are used to cover the costs associated with the
retention of one full-time deputy probation officer who is the designated supervisor of the Juvenile Division, which
includes the operation of the County's special purpose juvenile hall; and one full-time deputy probation officer who
is assigned to the Truancy Intervention Program and also supervises all youth referred to the department for
supervision services. The Juvenile Probation Officer works collaboratively with the school site administrators to
address truancy and behavior related matters. In most cases, this officer has the ability to respond to the school
sites immediately to provide services that will get the student back on track.

Through the Truancy Intervention Program and with funding from YOBG, the department has been able to provide
monetary awards to seniors with perfect attendance; and contribute to the school district's attendance program.
Last year, three seniors received a monetary award for having four years of perfect attendance while in high
school. The Probation Department plans to continue these incentive programs. The amount of the awards varies
from year to year depending on the number of seniors identified with perfect attendance. Seniors selected to
receive the award must have perfect attendance during their senior year in high school. The department also
supported the school district's, "Count Me In!," attendance improvement program. The Mariposa County Probation
Department and Mariposa County Unified School District continue to work collaboratively to improve student
attendance and behavior, which has contributed to a reduction in SARB referrals and delinquency referrals.

Moderate to high risk juvenile offenders are the targeted population for YOBG funds. Youth identified as at risk for
out-of-home placement are referred to behavioral health for assessment and intensive intervention and services,
which has proven to be effective in addressing youth and familial issues, while allowing the youth to remain in the
home. The Full Service Partnership program provides counseling, mentoring, parental role-modeling and other
supportive services. Other local programs and services are used as alternatives to incarceration and hold youth
accountable. The Department's Electronic Monitoring Program is utilized to maintain youthful offenders in the home
so that services can be continued. The Truancy Intervention Program (JJCPA) addresses school related issues
and has been successful in reducing truancy statistics in our community. YOBG funds will continue to be used to
support existing and new programs. When necessary, contract services will be used to support youth at home.
Funds are also used to support the costs of electronic monitoring; detention; drug testing; vehicle expenses;
office/equipment expenses; and other costs associated with supporting services that best meet the needs of the
targeted population. Keeping youth in the home of their parent/guardian significantly reduces county costs
associated with out-of-home placement and detention. JJCPA funds are utilized to support the costs of the full-time
Deputy Probation Officer assigned to the Juvenile Division. In addition to supervising all juvenile offenders on
probation, this officer works collaboratively with the school district to improve school attendance which increases
ADA funding to local schools, while encouraging youth to attend school regularly. YOBG funds are used to provide
an appropriate level of supervision services that support youthful offenders in the community. With limited local
resources, it will only take one youth in need of a locked mental health treatment facility or commitment to the
Department of Justice to expend all of the YOBG and County dollars allocated to serve this population.

Youth will not be directly served under this expenditure category. The Probation Department used YOBG funding to
provide training opportunities to the deputy probation officers, assigned to the Juvenile Division. Attending
appropriate training gives both officers the education and tools necessary to properly manage the juvenile caseload
and juvenile programs to ensure that all youth served by the department receive services that best meet the needs
of this youthful population and their families. YOBG funds were used to pay for the Supervising DPO of the
Juvenile Division and the Juvenile DPO to attend out-of-county training. Due to the rural location of Mariposa
County and low population of the county, the majority of trainings offered are held in other counties throughout the
State of California. Costs associated with out-of-county travel include registration fees, meals, lodging, fuel and
vehicle costs. By providing appropriate training the Division Supervisor will be able to utilize the most current
information and techniques available to address employee, training and caseload management issues, commonly
associated with the position and population of youthful offenders. Training provided to the deputy probation officer
will assist the officer with identifying and addressing the criminogenic risks and needs of youthful offenders, thereby
reducing the need for out-of-home placement or detention.

Over the last several years, the Probation Department has seen an increase in the number of youthful offenders
with severe mental health disorders. In most cases, youth with mental health issues are incarcerated due to the
lack of resources available to safely provide mental health treatment to juveniles. Juvenile offenders with mental
health disorders often require a psychological evaluation to provide a mental health diagnosis, recommend
appropriate intervention and treatment; and determine the youth's ability to assist counsel and understand the
charges filed against them. YOBG funds were utilized to cover the cost for this evaluation. During this year, one
youth was referred for a psychological evaluation. As a result of the evaluation and recommendation from the
psychologist who completed the assessment, an alternative solution was developed collaboratively with the
probation department and human services department that allowed the youth to be released from custody, charges
dismissed and still receive appropriate services.

The Mariposa County Probation Department’s Juvenile Division has two full-time deputy probation officers assigned to the
unit. One of the officers is the supervisor of the juvenile unit, which includes the County’s special purpose juvenile hall. The
juvenile division’s supervisor has over 20 years of experience with the department. The other deputy probation officer is
the designated truancy intervention officer and is assigned to supervise all youth participating in probation programs. This
officer has been with the department for four years and has previous experience working in the behavior modification
classrooms in the school district. Both officers have developed strong collaborative relationships with members of the
local Sheriff’s Department, Child Welfare Services, Behavioral Health, School District and other organizations that provide
services to youth.
Mariposa County is a small rural community, which gives our department a unique advantage that larger communities do
not have. The reduction in the number of youthful offender referrals received by the department over the past several
years has given us the opportunity to work with the majority of the offenders and their parents to deter future delinquent
activity. The Truancy Intervention Program is our department’s first opportunity to prevent further delinquent behavior. The
deputy probation officer is notified by the school site when the first truancy notification letter is sent to the parent of a truant
student, but the officer does not typically make contact with the parent until the second notification letter is sent. At this
point, the officer will attempt to contact the parent to ascertain the reason for the student’s poor attendance. The officer will
make appropriate referrals as needed and continue to work with the school and parents to address the truant behavior.
JJCPA funds are used to partially fund the costs associated with maintaining a full-time deputy probation officer.
It is the goal of department staff to deter delinquent behavior as early as possible utilizing the lowest level of intervention
necessary. The department utilizes diversion programs that target typical youthful offenses, such as 3rd Millennium
Classrooms, which is an on-line education program. This program holds youth accountable and provides educational
information that addresses the delinquent behavior. YOBG funds are utilized to pay for the classes so there is no financial
burden imposed on the parents. The majority of the crimes committed by Mariposa County youth are low level offenses
that can be addressed informally by the probation department. Informal intervention and prevention services may include
referrals to treatment providers; assistance with transportation needs; attendance and academic incentives for students.
As part of the community, the probation department works with the school and other service providers to identify the needs
of youth and provide support to our local families. The ability to provide early intervention and preventive services is
believed to have contributed to our low referrals for delinquent activity.
Youth who have been adjudicated for felony offenses are assessed at the onset of their case to determine the likelihood of
future law violations and ability to comply with probation conditions. The PACT Assessment tool is used to identify
criminogenic risks and needs of probation youth; and has been instrumental in assisting our officers in providing an
appropriate level of intervention, services and referrals for this population. At risk youth may be identified as DEJ youth,
felony or misdemeanor offenders and repeat offenders. Most recently, the most difficult youthful offenders have had
significant mental health issues. Wraparound services were previously utilized to serve this population; however, due to
the reduction in referrals for these services, they have been discontinued. Full Service Partnership has taken the place of
the Wraparound program. Additionally, the probation department has strongly advocated for youthful offenders with mental
health disorders to receive services through other resources so that they don’t have the additional stigma that involvement
with the juvenile justice system causes.
In general, the flexibility that our deputy probation officers have to respond timely and their positive relationships with
community partners have been instrumental in effectively reducing delinquent activity in our community. The JCPSS
statistics do not accurately reflect the number of crime report referrals that the department received in 2016. According to
local statistics, the department received 118 referrals which included 24 felony referrals, 67 misdemeanor referrals and 27
referrals for status offenses. Of those referrals, six youth were referred for prosecution. Two youth were placed on informal
probation; one youth was placed on formal probation without wardship; one youth was received formal probation with
wardship and two youth were placed on deferred entry of judgement. All youth were allowed to remain in the home of their
parents.

The Mendocino County Juvenile Probation Rural Gang Unit provides an elevated, more intense level of supervision
to juvenile probationers who are gang involved. The majority of the cases assigned to the unit are high-need
cases. Probation officers focus on the increased levels of gang activity at local schools. Juvenile probationers and
other at-risk youth and their families may receive referrals for services including individual and family counseling,
anger management, tutoring, community service, and after-school activities. This program contracts with the
Mendocino County Youth Project for services.

treatment to juvenile probations who are not Medi-Cal eligible. This fills an unmet need, as such services are not
otherwise available. Treatment is provided on an intensive outpatient basis for up to five hours per week. Services
include intake, diagnostic assessment, treatment plan development, weekly individual, group and family therapy,
case management and collaboration with the Probation Department.
We also provide the Foundations Program, which provides early intervention and prevention services to youth with
low-level drug and alcohol offenses, and juvenile probationers with drug or alcohol related probation violations.

The Probation Department implemented the PACT assessment in 2009-10. An assessment is completed at
disposition for all probationers. During our first year using the PACT, it became apparent that data collection and
data entry related to the assessment is very time consuming and the Probation Officers were spending many hours
on these tasks that would otherwise have been spent delivering direct services to juvenile probationers. It is
anticipated that the Department will process 160 assessments annually. This funding is used to fund one .25 FTE
Legal Secretary to assist with data collection, data entry, case plans, and other clerical assistance related to the
assessment process, our annual license fee, support and training costs for the PACT assessment tool.

YOBG funds were used to cover a portion of the costs for CBO (Mendocino County Youth Project) and electronic
monitoring services for the New Beginnings School, a year-round educational facility. New Beginnings serves
youth who are wards of the court, and who have been referred to the program by the Probation Officer. In addition
to the school curriculum, students are taught the skills needed for personal, social, and academic success, and
have available to them mental health and substance abuse services. New Beginnings is a multi-agency program,
which is also supported by the County's Health & Human Services Agency, and the Mendocino County Office of
Education.

Provide a summary description or analysis, based on available information, of how the programs, placements,
services, strategies or system enhancements funded by JJCPA-YOBG have, or may have, contributed to, or
influenced, the juvenile justice data trends identified in this report.
A comparison of the juvenile arrest rates over the last ten years have shown a significant reduction of juvenile
arrests in Mendocino County. The felony arrest rate over the last five (5) years has shown an overall reduction of
28% and over the last 10 years a reduction of 65%. Misdemeanor arrests have also shown significant reductions
of 23% over the last five (5) years and 48% over the last 10 years.
The comprehensive plans for juvenile justice which includes investment in intensive supervision, mental health
services, drug and/or alcohol treatment services, counseling, detention alternatives, risk and needs assessments,
and the utilization of Evidence Based Practices, working in conjunction with the educational system, families and
Community Based Organizations has contributed to our significant reductions in the juvenile arrest rates.
While overall low in numbers, the arrest rate for sex offenses has increased in the last two (2) years. While this
may be a one-time spike, it is an area that we will be pursuing to determine if the need for additional services are
necessary and what these services will encompass. We feel that the programs are demonstrating positive results
in the areas of drug and/or alcohol treatment/prevention, as well as gang intervention/prevention, and will continue
to be core areas of concentration for Mendocino County Probation.

Merced County Operates a 60-bed camp program, the Bear Creek Academy (BCA). 30 beds are dedicated to the
Long Term and Youth Treatment Programs. The BCA programs are point-based with up to five phases. The
program period is one to two years, depending on which program is utilized. Program elements include
vocational education, alcohol and drug education, mental health counseling, and cognitive and life skills
development. Participants will eventually earn home visits that will include GPS services. The final phase of the
program will include aftercare to effectively transition youth into the community once released from the facility. A
re-entry plan will be developed for each participant. Case management will be provided by an assigned officer, to
ensure adherence to the re-entry plan. The goals and expected benefits of the BCA is to reduce recidivism by
offering local long-term treatment and custody programs to high risk youth, and successfully transitioning youth
into the community once released from the facility. YOBG funds offset the cost of staff and operating expenses
associated with the 30 beds identified solely for the BCA Long Term and Youth Treatment Programs. This is a
one to two-year camp program located inside the Juvenile Justice Correctional Complex.

The Merced County Juvenile Services Division has expanded services through several initiatives and continues to
work to develop practices that align with Evidence Base Practices (EBP). Data collection has shown fewer youth
are being placed on formal probation and fewer violations are being filed in juvenile court. The department has
put significant focus on training staff both evidence based practices and officer safety skills. Much of the success
of turning troubled youth around and keeping the community safe can be attributed to our hard-working, well
trained and dedicated staff.
The Juvenile Services Division oversees all juvenile matters referred to the Probation Department by other law
enforcement agencies in Merced County. Juvenile Court Intake staff process hundreds of referrals from law
enforcement agencies for youths alleged to have committed law violations, those who are beyond parental
control, curfew violators, truants or runaways. A determination is made whether the youthful offenders will be
referred to the Juvenile Court for prosecution, placed on informal probation, diverted or reprimanded with the case
closed. A deputy district attorney assigned to the Juvenile Services Division determines charges to file. The
juvenile court investigators are responsible for compiling dispositional reports for the court. For many first-time
offenders, a face-to-face interview is conducted along with their families. Support and guidance for parents is
given in the form of a referral to parenting education classes and other community based resources. In some
cases, the youth may be referred to informal probation services for a period of six months.
The Juvenile Services Division has employed programs for juvenile offenders designed to address dynamic
needs to modify the behavior of those who rate moderate-to-high risk. Officers have been certified to employ
cognitive behavior curriculum Thinking for a Change. The JJCPA program has improved how we address rates
of a recidivism, incarceration, restitution, and community service, as well as continue to address school
attendance and academic achievement. Currently, the Juvenile Field Services Unit consists of seven (7) Deputy
Probation Officers and one (1) Supervising Probation Officer who work in partnership with various law-
enforcement and community service agencies in the supervision of juvenile high-risk, moderate-risk, and low risk
offenders. The average caseload size of aforementioned caseloads is approximately 15 cases.
Merced County operates a 60-bed camp program, the Bear Creek Academy (BCA). 30 beds are dedicated to the
Long Term and Youth Treatment Programs. The BCA programs are point-based with up to five phases. The

will be developed for each participant. Case management will be provided by an assigned probation officer, to
ensure adherence to the re-entry plan. The BCA program consists of two Deputy Probation Officers who are
funded by YOBG. The officers assigned to the BCA participate in the Review Board for youth who are assigned
to the BCA Program. The Review Board consists of two Deputy Probation Officers, a Supervising Juvenile
Institutions Officer and a Program Manager. The group meets weekly to discuss and review all academy
movement and disciplinary actions that resulted in loss of points in the academy. The Review Board will convene
a special hearing if the regular board meeting is not within 48 hours, excluding weekends and holidays. The
Review Board will consider return to custody and the length of stay and the conditions under which the youth will
be released to the After-Care Phase.

Modoc County does not have a Juvenile Hall and must contract with Lassen, Siskiyou and Shasta counties for
Juvenile Hall placements. The Lassen Hall is 100 miles from Alturas, Siskiyou and Shasta Halls are
approximately 150 miles away. Placements were usually short-term, consistent with the need for public safety
and the needs of the youth, but we did have several long-term placements this year. Placement in the hall can
also be used as a sanction by the Delinquency Prevention and Treatment team and the Court for negative
behavior. MCPD used YOBG funds to augment Juvenile Hall services to Modoc County youths placed in a
Juvenile Hall, such as 24-hour monitoring, needed medications and/or medical care.

Modoc County Probation serves youth in a rural, low income community. The JJCPA and YOBG funds were used
to provide psychological evaluations, medical needs, mental health needs, alcohol and drug needs, special
treatments such as sex offender therapy, educational needs. Many of the families lack the support and services to
provide the basic needs of the youth, to include housing, food, transportation, employment, etc. Many of the
youths were removed or detained due to circumstances in the home that directly affected their compliance,
behavior or overall stability. We used YOBG and JJCPA funds to help with transportation, gas vouchers, grocery
gift cards, deposits, application fees, etc. This helped to support families to keep youths in the home and to
maintain stability.

Modoc County is a rural county, and therefore we rely heavily on the limited resources available within the County.
There are no alcohol and drug services for the youth in the County, aside from some curriculum that case
managers and mental health counselors are including in their regular counseling sessions. Probation utilizes
funds to support the youth in creative ways in order to bridge that gap where local services are not available or do
not meet the need of the youth. Probation utilizes the funds to support families of high risk youth/wards/foster
youth as part of placement prevention as well as reunification efforts to stabilize the family, home and child. The
Juvenile Delinquency Prevention and Treatment Court Program is a team made up of several collaborative
partners to include Probation, Courts, Law Enforcement, Schools, Behavioral Health, non-profit organizations,
Attorneys and the District Attorney's Office. The team meets bi-weekly to provide a wrap around like service and
treatment court to high risk youth. The goal is to provide services, support and intervention to prevent the youth
from removal from the home. The in-depth supervision provided by the juvenile officer to youth in the county, the
support to families to aide in stabilization, and the Juvenile Delinquency Prevention and Treatment Court Program
have influenced the juvenile justice data in a positive way, helping minimize the recurrence of youth in the justice
system and lowering their likelihood to re-offend. One issue that has influenced the juvenile justice data trend in a
negative way is the rural area of the County, lack of services and resources, and lack of opportunity for the youth.

El Dorado Youth Facility is Mono County's contracted facility. For the budget year, two youth were briefly detained
(ethnicities: 1 - Caucasian and 1- Hispanic) and later placed in treatment due to their needs. El Dorado provides
a safe, caring environment for youth. Expenditures in this category includes direct cost of detainment bed
($90/day), psychological evaluation, and salary for employees involved with youth detainment (travel, court
appearance, staff reviews, etc.). Mono currently uses the Detention Risk Inventory Assessment when law
enforcement is requesting detainment. This valid and reliable assessment has reduced detainments significantly.

The Trail Crew is an excellent opportunity for youth that live in Mono County. They work, along with the US Forest
employees, in areas that require cleaning such as trails, downed brush and tree limbs to reduce fire hazard, clean
up of campgrounds for safety and to learn about the environment fauna where they are working. Crew members
learn about botany and zoology as well as Native American culture historically and currently. Along with Trail
Crews, work crews assist with clean up of Fire Stations and equipment. Youth have the opportunity to work at the
rate of minimum wage so they may reimburse victims through restitution. Some youth are too young to work in
the community whereupon this program is an opportunity to make a victim whole. Funds paid for safety
equipment and tools.

The juvenile probation officer works with each youth on an appropriate topic workbook given the youth's
risk/needs and treatment plan. It gives the officer time with the youth to discuss not only their work on the
workbook but also tangential issues facing the youth. This method is used with all youth: informal, diversion,
formal probation. This process has served to assist kids to avert formal probation. It is also used with School
Attendance Review Board (SARB) youth receiving consequences. Those youth also visit with the probation
officer assistant who ensures workbook progress and completion. Mono's juvenile program has modified its
response to incorrigibility and delinquency. We have used the age-old 80-20 rule where 80% invested in the
beginning will result in 20% effort (maintenance) in the end. As most juvenile justice professionals know, difficult,
complex delinquent youth require a great deal of time, work and money not to mention the expense to the youth's
emotional and social being. Our investment is in the beginning where many services are made available outside
of the delinquency milieu along with more time being spent in the schools. YOBG and JJCPA paid for multi-topic
workbooks and books and a portion of the juvenile officer's salary

Mono: Data Trend Analysis
ANALYSIS OF COUNTYWIDE TREND DATA for: Mono
Government Code Section 30061(b)(4)(C)(iv) & WIC Section 1961(c)(3)
Provide a summary description or analysis, based on available information, of how the programs, placements,
services, strategies or system enhancements funded by JJCPA-YOBG have, or may have, contributed to, or
influenced, the juvenile justice data trends identified in this report.
The data provided shows that there is still a high number of minority youth who are having contact with law
enforcement and the justice system. The majority of the arrests reported are misdemeanors for instances of petty
theft, disturbing the peace, and vandalism. In addition, the increase in status offenders is a reflection of the
collaboration between the schools and different agencies involved in Student Attendance Review Board. The
data also reflects an increase in females. Until we learn more about this non-normative variable we will be able to
better explain. Lastly, there has been an increasing number of youth that are dealt with informally. Mono County,
as indicated in the Expenditure Details, will continue to invest in diversion and informal programs while ensuring
detention alternatives continue to be employed.
Of concern is the number of minority contact in referrals from the schools. This could be a result of an increase of
minorities in our communities. But as of yet, the population report of ethnicity appears to be low as reported by
California. Mono County is currently in its fourth year of the Title II Racial and Ethnic Disparity Grant. We have
been making an effort to address disparities and avert youth from the criminal justice system. It is our hope to
continue to work on this complex goal and attend multiple trainings in order to specifically identify and address any
variables affecting disparity.

The program is based on the OJJDP strategy of Risk and Protective Factors of Child Delinquency, addressing
risk factors in five domains: individual, family, school, peer group, and community. The Silver Star Resource
Center (SSRC), is a multiagency collaborative of prevention and early intervention services designed to promote
positive youth development by reducing risk factors that lead to gang involvement and delinquency of youth in
Monterey County ages 13-21.
The collaborative is co-located to provide a “one-stop” for youth and family services and employs an innovative
multi-agency approach that combines probation supervision, individualized study program, vocational and job
training, counseling and mediation services, anger management, truancy abatement, mentoring, outreach to the
community, substance abuse programs and family support services to at-risk or gang-involved youth.
The program is initiated by a referral and assessment process, and reviewed by a Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT)
in case of multiple risk factors to determine how to provide the appropriate services to meet the family’s needs.
Probation staff then conducts follow-ups with collaborative partners to ensure that families are being served.
This program includes Drug and Alcohol Intervention Services for Youth (DAISY) managed by Community Human
Services (CHS) and utilizes The Seven Challenges curriculum, an evidence-based best practice endorsed by the
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). DAISY provides intervention and
education services for substance abusing youth ages 13-18 who are referred by parents, schools, Social
Services, Monterey County Behavioral Health, Probation and Juvenile Drug Court.
The program utilizes The Seven Challenges, a developmentally appropriate alcohol and drug curriculum
addressing co-occurring problems to decrease substance use among adolescents and improve their overall
mental health. Services include comprehensive assessment to identify problems and concerns for the adolescent
and family, goal setting, individual, group and family counseling, substance abuse education, journaling and
relapse prevention planning. DAISY also offers a parent support group that provides parents with accurate
information and tools to help them better understand and support their children.

Therapeutic Drug Court Model; Matrix Model for Substance Abuse. Monterey County’s Juvenile Drug Court
Treatment Program is a collaboration between Juvenile Court, Probation, Behavioral Health and various treatment
providers within the community.
The program is completed in four phases. Youth are involved in individual, and group treatment, and they work
closely with their Probation Officer. It is designed to help minors address and overcome their addiction to alcohol
and/or drugs, and to reduce harmful behavior against themselves, their family, and other individuals. The
philosophy of the program is that parental and family support is the cornerstone in adolescent substance-abuse
treatment and that family support is a critical factor in helping adolescents turn their lives around.
Drug Court imposes intensive supervision and coordinates counseling and rehabilitative services to juvenile
probationers who have serious substance abuse problems. Probationers are regularly drug-tested each month
and appear in Court twice a month.

The program is based on the OJJDP strategy of Risk and Protective Factors of Child Delinquency, addressing
risk factors in five domains: individual, family, school, peer group, and community. Truancy in particular has been
identified as an early warning sign of potential delinquent behavior, social isolation, and educational failure,
carrying long-term negative effects. This program is a collaboration between Probation and the District Attorney’s
Office to reduce the truancy rate in the school districts of Monterey County.
This is based on two strategies: 1) aggressively pursuing chronic truants and involving their families in seeking
solutions to school absenteeism through education, mediation and enforcement of compulsory law, and 2)
utilizing the Truancy Court model and supervision to restore school attendance and positive behaviors.
The Truancy Abatement Unit works closely with schools and families to bring about compliance with compulsory
school attendance laws.
Truancy Court is a Problem-Solving Court model designed to assist school-aged children to overcome the
underlying causes of truancy by reinforcing and combining efforts from the school, courts, mental health
providers, families, and the community to stabilize the family environment and reengage the youth in continuing
their education.

This program is based on and utilizes principles of Restorative Justice. VORP is a restorative process which
provides victims with the opportunity to meet juvenile offenders in a safe and structured setting. The program
provides counseling and mediation services to juveniles age 10 to 18 who are first time offenders and who
participate in the program on a volunteer basis and under the protocol and principles of Restorative Justice.
The Merchant Accountability Panel (MAP) is an innovative application of the VORP process which focuses directly
on the pervasive crime of juvenile shoplifting. It was created by VORP in collaboration with Probation’s
Restorative Justice Coordinator. Young shoplifters are held accountable in a highly successful mediation process
that brings a group of 4-6 youths to face the merchant representatives in a restorative, non-threatening venue.

The Wellington M. Smith, Jr. Juvenile Hall is a short-term detention facility with a capacity of 114 beds for secure
confinement of those juveniles who are pending court; awaiting transfer to other juvenile and adult institutions;
pending placement in foster homes or group homes; or serving short-term, court-ordered custody, typically 90
days or less.
YOBG funds the salary and benefits of 4.25 FTE Juvenile Institutions Officer II positions assigned to Juvenile Hall
to maintain staffing, provide security and supervision, and for monitoring structured activities and several in-
custody programs.
Juvenile institutions officers, Behavioral Health staff, nursing staff, and teachers who work in Juvenile Hall make
every effort to address the youth’s social, physical, behavioral, psychological, and emotional needs. Their shared
goal is to provide services that will help the youth reintegrate back into the community.
Evidence Based Practices used include: 1) Phoenix Curriculum, a cognitive behavioral intervention program to
help children and adolescents identify risk factors contributing to gang involvement; the development of critical
thinking skills; the evaluation of dysfunctional emotions; the consequences of behavior; and the utilization of moral
reconation to facilitate change; and 2) The 1-800Runaway Let’s Talk program, an evidence-based program that
develops life skills and increases knowledge about runaway resources and prevention.
Barriers:
1. The prevalence of mental health issues with the Juvenile Hall (JH) population continues to increase, which
adds another layer to the rehabilitation process, requiring additional resources and training at substantial costs.
2. Family instability and poor engagement due to poverty, drug abuse, parental incarceration and generational
gang allegiances often translating into serious offenses being committed also prove to be difficult barriers.

Monterey County Probation's intervention is based on a series of graduated sanctions for offender accountability
and rehabilitation through access and delivery of services, and for protection of the community. JJCPA supports
at-risk youth and juvenile diversion programs, as well as interventions within the continuum of graduated
sanctions. YOBG funding supports in-custody services at the two juvenile institutions, completing the array of
services for at-risk and adjudicated youth at the different stages of involvement in the juvenile system. The Youth
Center (YC) is the only secure residential treatment facility for juvenile wards, and the county’s only long-term
juvenile detention institution, with a total capacity of 60 beds in dorm setting. The youths are distributed in 4
housing units: Ventana Bay, Gavilan Bay and Pinnacle Bay each house 16 wards, while Laguna Bay houses 12.
Youth receive medical and mental health services as needed, and attend school. In-custody time is utilized for the
early and immediate exposure and engagement in supportive rehabilitation programs, such as Aggression
Replacement Therapy ("ART"), and The Seven Challenges. The program also offers an intensive supervision
Aftercare program.
YOBG funds the salary and benefits of 6.25 FTE Juvenile Institutions Officer II positions assigned to the Youth
Center; it also funds a 1.0 FTE Psychiatric Social Worker II (PSW) that provides services to the Youth Center.
Funding for 6.25 JIO positions allows the only local secure treatment program to maintain the current capacity of
60 male residents, providing security, supervision and monitoring of structured activities and programs. The PSW
staff provides individual and group counseling services for the residents.
Evidence Based Practices used include: 1) Aggression Replacement Therapy (ART), a cognitive behavioral
intervention program to help children and adolescents improve social skill competence and moral reasoning,
better manage anger, and reduce aggressive behavior. 2) The Seven Challenges, an evidence-based program to
address substance abuse among youth.
Barriers:
1. The prevalence of mental health issues with the Youth Center (YC) population continues to increase, which
adds another layer to the rehabilitation process, requiring additional resources and training at substantial costs. 2.
Family instability and poor engagement due to poverty, drug abuse, parental incarceration and generational gang
allegiances also prove to be difficult barriers. 3. Due to the seriousness of the wards’ charges and the threat to
public safety, there are no activities conducted outside the facility, including home visits, which places a larger
burden on transitional services to the aftercare portion of their commitment. 4. A portion (about 20%) of the YC-
committed youth is undocumented, therefore unable to access job training, job placement, or apprentice services.

Monterey: Data Trend Analysis
ANALYSIS OF COUNTYWIDE TREND DATA for: Monterey
Government Code Section 30061(b)(4)(C)(iv) & WIC Section 1961(c)(3)
Provide a summary description or analysis, based on available information, of how the programs, placements,
services, strategies or system enhancements funded by JJCPA-YOBG have, or may have, contributed to, or
influenced, the juvenile justice data trends identified in this report.
Since 2000, with the creation of a stable funding stream for local jurisdictions to address the needs of at-risk and
adjudicated youth, Monterey County has reflected the State-wide trends of lower arrest rates, lower referrals, and
lower incarceration, and therefore a decrease in juveniles involved in the local criminal justice system.
This change is attributable to several concurrent factors, strengthened by an overall strategy to address juvenile
delinquency with prevention programs (Silver Star Resource Center-SSRC), diversions (restorative justice
through the Victim Offender Reconciliation Program -VORP), early intervention (Truancy Mediation), and targeted
interventions (Silver Star Youth Program-SSYP, Juvenile Drug Court), and the expansion of rehabilitative
programs in the juvenile institutions, Juvenile Hall and Youth Center.
Monterey County Probation's intervention is based on a series of graduated sanctions for offender accountability
and rehabilitation through access and delivery of services, and for protection of the community. They include
community (field) supervision and specialized services, such as: day reporting center; drug court; mental health
court; Wrap-around services; out-of-home care placement, and long-term treatment and detention at the Youth
Center. Some youth may be referred to and attend multiple programs. Non-707(b) offenders might participate in
any of the programs offered, as identified in their case plan.
While there is no explicit coordination between the local programs funded by YOBG and JJCPA, it is important to
note that they both constitute essential components of the continuum of services provided to youth in the local
community. In Monterey County, JJCPA funds mostly programs at the front-end of the process, from prevention to
various levels of intervention, while YOBG funds are utilized for temporary detention at Juvenile Hall, and for
placement in a custodial residential treatment facility for juvenile wards (Youth Center).

The STAR program is a delinquency intervention program of the Napa County Probation Department that is
designed to increase the competencies of juvenile probationers and their families so that youth successfully
complete probation, do not re-offend and attempt to repair the harm they might have done to a victim. This
program is staffed by two (2) probation officers who are responsible for supervising youth on this caseload and
coordinating with local agencies and other probation programming staff to provide cognitive behavioral services.
Youth are provided these services pursuant to their risk level and criminogenic needs as identified in their Youth
Level of Service/Case Management Inventory (YLS/CMI) assessment. This program also strives to support
families by providing funding for parent training so the skills youth learn in programming can be supported in the
home. Additionally, this program funds one half time mental health counselor to provide mental health support
services for youth in the Juvenile Hall. In addition to the programming offered to youth in ERC, over the last year
youth and families were provided over 2800 hours of programming to address youth delinquency.

The Outpatient Substance Abuse Treatment (OSAT) program is designed to provide services to probation youth
who need help reducing or eliminating substance abuse and the crimes associated with their substance abuse.
The Wolfe Center, in collaboration with the Napa County Probation Department, provides intensive evidence
based outpatient substance abuse treatment to Napa County probation youth. Youth referred to the OSAT
program are initially assessed by the Probation Department to determine their level of need utilizing the Youth
Level of Service/Case Management Inventory (YLS/CMI) assessment and then referred to the Wolfe Center
where youth receives an individual Alcohol and Drug Assessment to determine the level of treatment the youth
would benefit from. Youth in the program receive substance abuse treatment utilizing the Evidenced Based
Matrix model. While in the program youth and their families receive individual and group therapy, parental
support, education and treatment. In addition to treatment, youth in the OSAT program are provided supervision
by the Probation Officer responsible for monitoring their Court orders. The Probation Officer is responsible for
referring the youth and their families to community based services to address co-occurring issues. The program
also provides Drug Education programming for youth in the Juvenile Hall.

The Evening Reporting Center (ERC) served medium to high-risk youth between the ages of 14-17 who met
certain eligibility requirements focused on strengthening the ability of youth to achieve positive outcomes. The
program is a community based alternative to detention which provided highly structured evidence-based
programming and prosocial activities during high-risk periods. The program is a collaboration between the Napa
County Probation Department and Aldea, a local non-profit agency. Aldea provides mental health and substance
abuse treatment to our youth. Youth were court-ordered into the ERC program for 60 days. During the program
they received evidence-based programming by staff trained as cognitive behavior facilitators targeting their
criminogenic needs. Each ERC youth had an individualized case plan based on an evidence based risk
assessment tool monitored by the Senior Probation Officer dedicated to coordinating the ERC program.
Additionally during the summer, youth were provided these services during the day time to provide programming
during the hours they have little supervision while school was not in session. The ERC Probation Officer also
provided the youth with case management and after care services. During the fiscal year there was an 85%
successful completion rate and youth were provided a total of 1,423 cognitive behavioral hours while in the
program.

Youth who were on probation and/or enrolled in the Evening Reporting Center (ERC) were provided with pro-
social skills training to strengthen their ability to achieve positive outcomes. Youth were provided a variety of pro-
social skill building activities during their ERC program if applicable including, but not limited to, resume writing,
interviewing skills, career exploration with guest speakers, art, physical recreation activities and community
service. The pro-social activities were designed to enhance the evidence-based curriculum of the ERC program
and to assist youth in changing their lives. Probation youth's risk and needs are assessed utilizing an evidence
based assessment tool and provided the opportunity to engage in evidence-based programming coordinated to
target their highest criminogenic need areas. The overall population of youth on probation in Napa County
continues to decrease due in part to the department's utilization of pro-social skills and evidence based
programming. The coordination and implementation of these services has been instrumental in the continuation
of this success. The Youthful Offender Block Grant funded one (1) full time Probation Officer assigned as the
department's Cognitive Behavioral Coordinator. The position is responsible for coordinating and facilitating
cognitive behavior groups as well as pro-social skills training to support youth in ERC, in the Juvenile Hall and on
Probation.

The Napa County Probation Intensive Supervision Services Program served high-risk offenders residing in the
community and/or returning to the community from residential treatment or camp. The program is designed to
enhance the rehabilitative and treatment programs and services offered to these youth. One (1) full-time Senior
Probation Officer is dedicated to this caseload and was responsible for monitoring high-risk and very high-risk
youth who received intensive supervision. The Intensive Supervision Services Program provided services for
youth exhibiting severe mental health issues. Services were provided in collaboration with mental health
treatment providers throughout the county to individualize treatment with the purpose of stabilizing the youth in the
community and reducing the need for out of home placement. The Senior Probation Officer dedicated to this
caseload successfully partnered with County Mental Health as part of the Child and Family Team for several
intensive mental health cases which would have otherwise been placed out of the home. This probation officer
also worked to re-integrate very high risk youth back into the community once they returned from camp placement
or residential treatment. The program is made up of the probation youth within the community who have been
assessed at the highest risk to recidivate and have the most high risk criminogenic need areas. While this
targeted populations' vast array of needs and lack of prior success represent a potential barrier to future success,
the program was able to effectively adapt to these needs and was successful in preventing any youth from being
sent to DJJ.

Napa: Data Trend Analysis
ANALYSIS OF COUNTYWIDE TREND DATA for: Napa
Government Code Section 30061(b)(4)(C)(iv) & WIC Section 1961(c)(3)
Provide a summary description or analysis, based on available information, of how the programs, placements,
services, strategies or system enhancements funded by JJCPA-YOBG have, or may have, contributed to, or
influenced, the juvenile justice data trends identified in this report.
Napa County employs a coordinated approach to addressing juvenile delinquency and maintains a shared vision
using evidence based programming and services to target at risk youth. This is evidenced by the utilization of
cognitive behavioral programming and adherence to risk and needs based supervision present throughout the
programs and strategies funded by JJCPA-YOBG. In 2009, prior to the Napa County Probation Department using
YOBG funds to open the Evening Reporting Center (ERC), Juvenile Probation supervised over 730 youth on
active probation; which, if compared to today's numbers, would be a greater supervision population than larger
counties such as San Joaquin and San Francisco. In the years since the Legislature funded juvenile realignment
through the passage of SB 81, Napa County has used those resources in conjunction with JJCPA funding to pay
for targeted evidence based services. This funding provides at risk youth evidence based drug and alcohol
treatment, cognitive behavior services and intensive programming in the ERC to provide youth supervision and
treatment during the evening hours when most juvenile crime occurs. This funding also supports intensive
probation supervision to youth assessed at the highest risk to re-offend. In the past this funding has supported
Evidence Based family therapy and continues to fund parent training programs like Parent Project. Youth in the
Juvenile Hall also benefit from drug and alcohol services and cognitive behavioral programming.
Napa’s multi-faceted approach to addressing juvenile delinquency has resulted in a significant decrease in the
amount of youth supervised on probation, from over 730 in 2009 to less than 200 currently. Over that same time
span the Juvenile Hall average daily population has decreased from 44 in 2009 to approximately 14 in 2016. In
2009, according to arrest report statistics on Open Justice, there were a total of 449 juvenile arrests, more than
double the amount of arrests reported last year. Additionally, felony arrests have dropped by 60% from 189
arrests in 2009 to 76 in 2016. Over the last several years as the Probation Department has utilized an evidence
based approach to assessment, supervision and services, the youth remaining on probation caseloads have more
intensive needs and are at the highest risk to recidivate. It is anticipated that the numbers will likely reach a
plateau and the challenge will be continuing to find success with these very high-risk populations. It is worth
noting that even with this more intensive population of supervised youth, the Probation department has been able
to maintain the vast majority of youth in their homes with their parents. The Department did not send any youth to
DJJ.

A probation officer is assigned as the truancy liaison to all local school districts. That officer participates in the
School Attendance Review Board (SARB), School Attendance Mediation (SAM), Special Multi-Agency Resource
Team (SMART), and Community Agencies United for Safe Schools and Safe Streets (CAUSSSS). From these
sources as well as directly from the schools sites and districts the officer receives truancy referrals. They then
work with the parents to gain their buy-in to develop a program that provides the resources needed specific to that
family to eliminate any barriers the family is facing that is seen as the cause of the minor’s truancy.
The program involves supporting the parent, while offering a full scope of services in a holistic approach. There
is a schedule of rewards and sanctions for behavior that includes a variety of responses up to gift cards for
positive behavior and truancy court for negative behavior. All the while providing the family with support and
resources. All of the groups mentioned above are collaborative stakeholder groups that engage in this program.
The program has the full support of the school districts and Nevada County Office of Education. The officer
assigned does regular outreach to school staff to inform them of the program and benefits of the program.
School staff are committed to keeping youth in the most appropriate educational setting. Throughout the year we
monitor referrals and trends of those referrals. At the end of the year we use the data collected to determine at
what level of intervention we start to see a correlation between the intervention and improved school attendance.

A probation officer is assigned to the intake function of the department. They process referrals and access all
referred juveniles for initial static risk using a validated risk/needs tool. If the individual is a first-time offender,
scores low risk on the tool, and the crime in not a mandatory referral they initiate a hold on the referral. Once a
hold is initiate they educate the family on the resources that are available to the family in the community that will
potential address the identified needs of the family. They walk them through the process of accessing these
services and attempt to empower the parents to take a role in securing services. We also educate them on the
juvenile justice process so that they know what benefits and potential consequences they are facing during and
after the diversion process. The officer remains a resource to the family after the intake and diversion process.
They can access the services of the officer at any time during the process. If the minor goes six months free from
further referrals or does not rise to the level of need for further intervention, then they will not be formally
processed. The goal is that hopefully the matter is either an aberrant period of behavior and/or the matter can be
handled successfully at the lowest level to avoid pulling a minor into the system that would otherwise thrive
without such an intervention. This model not only conserves resources across the board, but also recognizes that
intervening at a high level when unnecessary could actually increase a minor’s risk to re-offend.

Juvenile Hall Group Supervisors serve as Case Coordinators (CC) for detained youth. CCs are responsible for
providing case plan documentation, determining minor’s risks and needs and for matching minor with services
and programs available in JH. CCs are also responsible for making regular contact with minor’s parents to ensure
parents are fully aware of visiting times, obtain any necessary medical treatment authorization, and to provide
progress reports. Coordinators develop personalized “reward contracts” for each minor, based on identified
needs, which allow the youth to obtain certain privileges (home pass, in- house pass, early release). For
example, a young person who has a history of substance abuse may have a stipulation that they need to attend
Narcotics Anonymous classes to meet the criteria for the reward contract. Weekly evaluations are completed and
placed into the Juvenile Hall electronic case management system, which include the minor’s weekly behavior
grades and progress level. CCs actively encourage minors to participate in programs.

The majority of funding Nevada County has received was to provide youth every opportunity to not get involved
with the criminal justice system. The main method Nevada County chose was to address truancy. By identifying
youth at risk of becoming involved with the criminal justice system and provided resources needed to abstain from
criminal behavior, numerous youth have been diverted from the criminal justice system. This ensures the youth
will be significantly less likely to enter the school to prison pipeline. Keeping youth out of the juvenile justice
system is also accomplished by diverting youth from the system before they have been adjudicated. This, paired
with addressing truancy at an early stage, ensures Nevada County youth are afforded every opportunity to stay
out of the justice system while still receiving all the benefits and resources the probation department offers.

The Addiction, Substance Abuse Education and Recognition Treatment (ASERT) program provides intensive
drug and alcohol abuse intervention for juvenile male offenders who have a long-term custody commitment (100
or more days) and a history of significant drug and/or alcohol abuse problems. The program integrates a
multidisciplinary intervention and education model that is based on a national substance abuse treatment
program. JJCPA funding has enabled the program to enhance certain program components. The services
provided by the ASERT program include: Intensive drug counseling by two clinical psychologists and an alcohol
and drug abuse services counselor, Integrated case assessment and planning involving unit staff, field DPO,
education staff and collateral resources, Multi-disciplinary education lab that provides computerized diagnostic
evaluation of reading, language arts and math competencies, and Occupational training and job placement
services.
Located in the foothills of the Santa Ana Mountains, the Joplin Youth Center provides residential treatment for
young men ages 12-17.9. Cognitive-behavior programming includes Decision Points and Effective Practices in
Correctional Settings (EPICS). Face Everything and Recover (FEAR) is a moderate intensity substance abuse
program designed to address issues and problems facing adolescent substance abusers. Joplin employs a five-
level citizenship system that allows youths to experience rewards for good behavior and recognition for their
efforts to improve themselves. Other programs include AA/NA, anger management, Crossfit, Culinary Arts, gang
intervention, habitat improvement, mountain bike program, parenting classes, tool maintenance, vehicle
maintenance and woodshop.

Juvenile Recovery Court (JRC) is a collaborative program for juvenile offenders demonstrating an escalating
pattern of drug and alcohol use. JRC provides intensive supervision and treatment for substance abuse to these
youth as an alternative to incarceration. Orange County first implemented the program in September 1999. The
JJCPA funding has enabled the program to increase the number of participants served and enhance several of
the program components. There are five program phases, including an initial 30-day orientation period.
Mandatory requirements for youth in the program include: participation in weekly individual and group therapy
sessions, attendance at weekly self-help meetings, weekly reporting to the probation officer for progress checks
and drug testing, regular attendance in school with no behavior problems reported, compliance with all court-
ordered terms and conditions and regularly scheduled weekly, bi-monthly, or monthly court appearances for
progress reviews. Juvenile Recovery Court Collaborators: District Attorney, Health Care Agency, Juvenile Court,
Parent Empowerment Program, Probation Department and Public Defender. The primary goals are to increase
sobriety and reduce recidivism while reducing the reliance on incarceration. Participants can complete the
program in a minimum of nine months. When a youth graduates, all changes and stayed time are dismissed and
probation is terminated.

The Decentralized Intake Program (DCI) increases the level of counseling and diversion services for at-risk youth
in the unincorporated areas and cities serviced by the Orange County Sheriff's Department (OCSD). The DCI
collaborators: Orange County Sheriff's Department, Probation Department, Pepperdine Resource, Youth
Diversion and Education (PRYDE). PRYDE staff provide prompt intake assessment, pre-petition counseling,
monitored supervision, intervention and diversion services, and program participation at the community level to
serve youth who are arrested and brought into OCSD facilities for intake. PRYDE staff offer timely assessment
and a progression of intervention services to these youths and their families in a location near their homes.
Additionally, the probation officer assigned to DCI cases provides closer supervision and monitoring from the
point of referral to probation for an assessment through program exit for juvenile offenders assigned sanctions or
placed on informal probation. Further, informal consultations take place among the on-site operations staff for
purposes of making more informed decisions about certain cases. The primary goal of DCI is to reduce the
number of at-risk juveniles that progress further in the juvenile justice system through prompt assessment and
linkage to appropriate services at the earliest possible point.

The Truancy Response Program (TRP) is a cooperative effort to address the problem of chronic truancy in
Orange County schools. TRP focuses on chronically truant youth and their families who have failed to respond to
the traditional efforts at the school district level. It provides a progression of interventions up to and including
formal court action including the following: mandatory attendance of truant youth and their parents at school-
based group meetings conducted by the DA, school-site consultation by the probation officer with a truant youth
and his/her parents, referral to probation for a TRP intake evaluation for informal handling initially, placement in
one of several "pre-court" TRP interventions monitored by probation, court-ordered placement of the youth on
WIC 725 and/or prosecution of the parents. If terminated unsuccessfully, may result in WIC 601 and CDL
suspension/delay for 365 days, court-ordered participation of both youth and parents in a Parent Empowerment
Program workshop designed to coach parents in effective discipline methods for their children (initiated October
2005), referrals for services such as counseling, parenting skills, and basic housing and shelter needs provided
for truancy court families by the Social Services Agency (initiated July 2006). The TRP collaborators: County of
Department of Education, CSP (Community Service Programs), District Attorney, Juvenile Court, Parent
Empowerment Program, Probation Department, Public Defender, School Districts, Social Services Agency. A
primary goal of TRP is to reduce school truancies and absences, thereby increasing the chances of these youths'
future success. Because truancy places a youth at risk for delinquency, the program also aims to reduce the
number of these youth who go on to commit a crime resulting in a formal 602 application.

referrals to law enforcement, diversion programs, or alternative community services. An overview of the major
activities performed by the SMART team includes the following: conduct formal threat assessments at the school
or community site, refer at-risk youth to appropriate community resources for assessment and intervention
services, investigate and prosecute juveniles arrested for criminal acts, patrol neighborhoods in and around
schools identified as potential risk areas for violence, supervise youth placed on probation, provide in-service
training for school staff on threat recognition and emergency operations planning. SMART collaborators:

The Juvenile Sex offender treatment program housed at Juvenile Hall meets the treatment needs specific to
youth who have had sustained findings related to sex offenses. Youth who have been ordered committed and are
awaiting placement also received treatment while awaiting transfer to a camp program.
When the population permits, the Sex Offender Unit is designed to house sex offender wards separately from the
general population. As a specialized unit, youth are provided with weekly group and individual counseling to
address their court-ordered Sex Offender Therapy. A licensed clinician provides therapy based on the evidence-
based Good Lives treatment curriculum. Also, the pre-camp units are to house youth who have already received
their commitments and are pending transfer to one of the three camps that deal primarily with treatment and
rehabilitation. YOBG funding for these programs benefit youth in the county juvenile probation system by
providing placements, assessments and various direct services such as individual and group counseling,
Drug/Alcohol & Mental Health counseling, and Educational & Vocation services to address each minor's social
and behavioral needs, as well as evidence based programming.
Additionally, Orange County Probation has implemented the use of cognitive behavioral treatment programs to
assist in-custody youth with their rehabilitation, including Thinking for A Change (T4C), Decision Points and
Effective Practices in Community Supervision (EPICS). These programs have been proven to reduce recidivism.

The Juvenile Court Work Program (JCWP) is a detention alternative sanction for youth ages 12-18 years old.
Youth can be Court ordered or referred to the program by the assigned Deputy Probation Officer as an informal
sanction. Typically, a youth will complete up to 6 eight-hour days (Saturdays only) on a work crew performing
weed abatement, graffiti removal, litter pick up and projects benefiting the community.
The Accountability Commitment Program (ACP) is a detention alternative program that operates in collaboration
with the Youth Reporting Centers (YRC), the Orange County Health Care Agency (OCHCA) and the Orange
County Department of Education (OCDE). ACP youth attend the YRC’s daily where they receive academic
instruction, mental health and substance abuse treatment along with cognitive behavioral intervention programs.
In addition, ACP youth participate in the JCWP on Saturday’s as well.
As the JCWP and ACP programs are alternatives to detention, the youth attending the programs engage in
community based rehabilitative services. The youth remain in their homes with supportive services, inclusive of
access to mental health services, reducing the utilization of detention bed space. Also, the youth remain enrolled
in the OCDE community school which reduces truancy and loss of credits due to frequent school transitions.
The JCWP and ACP programs utilize a cognitive behavioral intervention approach to programming. Decision
Points program is provided in a group modality while Effective Practices in Community Supervision (EPICS) is
provided individually. Also, an incentive and sanction approach are utilized in response to the youth’s behaviors.

Pre-Detention and Pre-Disposition Program provides intensive supervision/re-entry services for appropriate youth
released in the community while pending adjudication. All participants in the program are supervised utilizing
electronic monitoring equipment. This allows youth to be served in a community based setting and to avoid the
dangers of detention and further criminalization. Deputy Probation Officers are specifically assigned to this
program to assist participants while holding them accountable to the rules of the program. Youth are expected to
attend school according to their school’s schedule and comply with any counseling orders from the court while on
the program.
Orange County Probation is able to better support youth in the community and in their homes. Each officer has
face-to-face contact with the youth assigned to their caseloads at least three times a week, if not more, depending
on case dynamics. This alternative to detention reduces the exposure to trauma the youth face through
incarceration.
A risk assessment tool is used to screen minors for eligibility in the program. Further, Effective Practices in
Community Supervision (EPICS) is practiced by officers. This is an evidence-based interviewing and intervention
technique supported and taught by the University of Cincinnati.

The youth served are supervised on probation caseloads and are wards of the delinquency court or under pre-
wardship programs such as diversion and non-ward probation. Youth can also be in foster care placement, or
under supervision by intensive gang violence suppression units.
Additionally, the youth in the county juvenile probation system receive adequate risk and need assessments and
appropriate rehabilitative and supervision services. A risk assessment tool is used to assess a ward's level of
supervision. The use of Thinking for a Change (T4C) assists youth in successful re-entry into the community. All
juvenile probation officers are trained in and using Effective practices in Community Supervision (EPICS) which
brings several Evidence Based Practices (EBP) into the office interaction. In addition, the use of positive
reinforcement is formalized in an incentive program.

The Youth Resource Center - After School Program provides year-round program services and activities including
Community Service and activities including craft projects, boot camp, Hip - Hop Congress for at risk and probation
youth in need of increased supervision and pro-social activities. Delinquency/Crime Prevention Services include
diversion services that target youth who are beyond parental control or are otherwise at risk of delinquency.
Diversion Programs include: a monthly Family and Youth Resource Fair, Forward Thinking, Girl's Circle, and
Council for Young Men. Additionally, the Juvenile Division provides access to structured community resources
that assist youth and family members to build and utilize their own family resources and better equip them to
become independent of the Juvenile Justice or Child Welfare Systems. Diversion and Crime Prevention Services
best serve our communities by diverting youth from the criminal justice system before they develop habits that
cause them to formally enter that system. Many diversion programs are offered between 3 and 6 p.m. on
weekdays, a timeframe which has been identified as being the time when minors are most at risk to commit a
criminal offense. By helping insure minors are not only occupied, but occupied in a structured environment that
fosters their pro-social growth, the more at-risk youth we can serve, the greater the avoidance of further criminal
justice system involvement by the minor.

and a supervision strategy assessment. Criminogenic needs and youth strengths are identified and inform case
plan recommendations. Examples of needs include school inadequacies, family problems, drug abuse, and
emotional problems that may contribute to a youth's delinquency behaviors. Youth who have been placed on
probation supervision receive a risk and needs assessment to determine the type and level of service needed and
are then supervised based on their individualized case plan. Probation Officers promote public safety by
supervising youth in the community and ensuring compliance with the terms and conditions of probation which
may include: enforcing curfews, school attendance, substance abuse counseling, drug and alcohol testing, gang
conditions, stay away orders for victims, and the collection of victim restitution. Officers use evidence-based
supervision and treatment practices, including safety and behavioral plans, to improve the likelihood of successful
transition of youth back into our communities. Supervision Services maintain risk based supervision caseloads
including: Wraparound Services and Juvenile Drug Court in lieu of out of home placement.

ANALYSIS OF COUNTYWIDE TREND DATA for: Placer
Government Code Section 30061(b)(4)(C)(iv) & WIC 1961(c)(3)
Provide a summary description or analysis, based on available information, of how the programs, placements,
services, strategies or system enhancements funded by JJCPA-YOBG have, or may have, contributed to, or
influenced, the juvenile justice data trends identified in this report.
As with previous years, the number of minors arrested on felony and misdemeanor charges has declined. This, in
part, can be contributed to an increase in community based youth programing including police activity leagues,
faith based programs, and intervention and prevention programs such as Girls' Circle, Boy's Council and the
Family and Youth Resource Fair. Furthermore, the availability and utilization of the Crisis Resolution Center has
been very successful in diverting troubled youth from the Criminal Justice and Child Welfare systems. Although,
the number of minors placed on formal wardship have remained steady; the number of detentions and out-of-
home placements remain very low with a slight decline. This can be contributed to the use of the risk/needs
assessment, individualized case/treatment plans, intensive services, graduated incentives and sanctions, and
officers’ us of evidence-based supervision and treatment practices, including safety and behavioral plans.
Therefore, only minors with high risks and needs that truly need detention or out-of-home placement receive it,
and in most cases, intervention and prevention efforts have succeeded.

Plumas County operates without a Juvenile Hall. Contracts with Nevada, Butte and Lassen County are active and
in place. Youth deemed to be at risk of harming themselves or others and engaging in ongoing delinquent
behavior are placed in one of these facilities. Each of the facilities provide education, mental health counseling,
recreation and other services consistent with Title 15 and best practices. Accomplishments: Stabilizing juveniles
in a secure facility and providing them with an environment that meets their needs while protecting the safety of
the juvenile and the community; preparing them for successful reunification with their family by utilizing a validated
risk-assessment tool and development of a case plan. Several of the youth detained were able to successfully
return to their home following detention and maintain their placement in the home. One in particular reunified with
their parent immediately following detention, after several years of group home placement. The Department is
mindful of the varying rates charged by each facility. Longer term placements are directed toward the lesser
expensive facilities. Barriers: Due to the facilities being located outside of Plumas County, there are difficulties
visiting the detained minor, which presents obstacles to developing a timely treatment plan, as well as arranging
family therapy. These challenges are mitigated by the use of telephonic conferencing and other distance meeting
techniques. YOBG funds paid for the daily expenses related to the incarceration and treatment of youth in the
juvenile hall facility.

When requested by the Chief Probation Officer, Superior, or Juvenile Court, Dr. Alfredo M. Amezaga Jr performs
psychological evaluations of juveniles and reports of his findings. Typically, evaluations are only requested in
cases that are complicated an not easily resolved. Two such evaluations were conducted in fiscal year 2016-
2017. These evaluations have provided comprehensive insight into these cases which has allowed for more
accurate and effective treatment planning and case management. Both cases were resolved with fairly positive
results. These evaluations have proven to extremely useful to the Probation Department, attorneys, Court, and
youth and families involved.

The parents of youth on Probation participated in parenting classes that consisted of 6 week program modules as
well as in-home support. A Counselor can be assigned to a family in their home to evaluate the parent-child
relationship, observe the environment, and make suggestions to improve parenting skills. The parenting class
curriculum has been developed specifically for parents with children involved in the criminal justice system. In
addition, the number of participants is kept low which allows for more personal attention to the specific needs of
the parents attending. YOBG funds will provide for one year's worth of the parenting classes, as well as in-home
support as needed. Without YOBG funds supporting this service, parents would be limited to parenting classes
with general information and no specialized guidance or attention. The curriculum is evidence based and
designed to build nurturing parenting skills that break the inter-generational cycle of child maltreatment and
dysfunction. The classes are specifically designed for parents of older youth involved in the criminal justice
system.

Electronic monitoring is implemented on lower-risk youth committing criminal offenses. The program allows for
the youth's placement in his or her home when appropriate, or placement with a family member or foster home
within the community. In this way, placement disruption is kept to a minimum and continuity of care can be
maintained. Maintaining the youth in his or her community helps to eliminate the need for significant disruption in
the juvenile's life while reducing the chances of re-victimizing community members and avoiding costly out-of-
home placement in a juvenile hall or group home placement. Electronic monitoring provides an effective
intervention for non-compliance as well as eliminating or reducing risk factors. Barriers: Plumas is located in a
remote rural area where cell and satellite reception can be poor. This places some limitations on the
implementation of the EM program. YOBG funds paid for the cost of all fees associated with the rental of EM
equipment with youth and families who are unable to pay for the Program. This program saves money by
reducing the need to place youth in detention facilities or group homes.

The One Circle programs are designed to reduce the risk of youth entering the juvenile justice system. Youth
participating in these programs can be voluntary, referred by the school, referred by parents/guardians, or by the
Court. The program assists youths in setting goals and leading productive lifestyles. This program helps reduce
the risk of youth engaging in criminal activity and to learn pro-social skills that will assist them in making
appropriate choices, become goal orientated, academically successful and lead productive lives. These classes
are currently being presented in two different Jr./Sr. High Schools within the community. YOBG funds pay for the
wages and benefits for program facilitators, office supplies related to the program, craft supplies, program
incentives and outreach activities, and travel costs to program locations. Student attendance in the program for
this school cycle is yet to be determined. Approximately 6-15 students have attended each activity thus far.

All youths referred to the Probation Department undergo an evidence-based assessment tool evaluation (PACT)
(RPACT for placement youth) to determine their risk to reoffend. Depending on their rating (low, moderate, or high
risk) to recidivate, this tool will be used to develop an appropriate case pan. YOBG funds are used to pay for
licenses to access the evidence-based assessment tool as well as training to ensure continuity and fidelity. As
part of the Department's current efforts to upgrade the quality of its assessment tool, a new contract has been
implemented with Noble Software. It is expected an improved product and additional tools will be available as a
result. For example, the Detention Risk Assessment Instrument will be added.

The Probation Department has a fairly inexperienced group of officers. Considerable effort and emphasis has
been placed on training these officers to expedite their maturity as an officer. Efforts are made to prioritize these
trainings in regards to mandates and relevance. Some of the trainings in which Plumas County Juvenile Officers
have participated in include; Case Planning, Evidence Based Practice Corrections 101, Child/Family Team
Training, Placement Core, 832 PC, and CMS/CWS case management system. YOBG funds pay for
tuition/registration fees, airfare, meals, lodging, gas and mileage for staff training. Training in EBP assessments
and case planning will be required this year due to a change in our assessment tool.

Ten percent of the Fiscal Officer's wages and benefits were allocated for monitoring of YOBG grant expenditures,
gathering statistical data and reporting as well as a part-time extra help position to assist with accounting, clerical
and other program-related office duties. With regard to JJCPA funding, 5% of the Fiscal Officer's wages and
benefits were allocated for monitoring JJCPA grant expenditures; 50% of a full-time Probation Assistant's wages
and benefits were allocated for juvenile outreach and incentive programs such as One Circle and movie nights,
juvenile transport, juvenile drug testing, juvenile assessments, diversion activities, community service work
monitoring, and other program-related duties; 25% of a full-time Legal Services Assistant's wages and benefits
were allocated for juvenile in-take processing, data entry related to juveniles, as well as processing court
documents and file maintenance; 70% of a full-time juvenile Probation Officer's wages and benefits were
allocated for comprehensive juvenile supervision. Due to the low number of staff and youth on our caseloads, the
Juvenile Probation Officer handles general supervision, placement supervision, diversion, assessments,
electronic monitoring, Soberlink monitoring, court, report writing, drug testing, data entry and field supervision.

Provide a summary description or analysis, based on available information, of how the programs, placements,
services, strategies or system enhancements funded by JJCPA-YOBG have, or may have, contributed to, or
influenced, the juvenile justice data trends identified in this report.
Plumas County has continued to utilize Juvenile Hall facilities located in other counties due to not having a facility
of our own. The number of youth placed out of the home has continued to decrease. Greater efforts have been
made to provide services within the county in order to prevent placement outside of the home whenever possible.
These services include assessments and services provided by the Plumas County Behavioral Health Department.
The Probation Department has also implemented a Soberlink Alcohol Detection device that can be utilized while
youth are in their home, decreasing the necessity of detention or placement with youth who severely abuse
alcohol. Plumas County has been able to respond to a significant number of referrals by placing them on informal
probation or diversion. The evidenced based 3rd Millennium online education tool has provided an effective tool
for diversion cases where the Probation Department does not want to over-expose a youth to the criminal justice
system when they are assessed to be at low risk to recidivate. Risk levels will continue to be identified with the
use of an evidence based assessment tool, specifically the Positive Achievement Change Tool (PACT).
Currently, the Probation Department is attempting to upgrade our assessment tool by contracting with Noble
Software. It is anticipated the Noble assessment tool will improve the quality of the assessments and case plans
completed by the Department. Plumas County had a slight increase in the number of arrests (+5), but it appears
the increase was primarily related to status offenses.

YOBG funds the salaries and benefits for staff assigned to the Youth Treatment and Education Center (YTEC), a
secure treatment program for males and females ages 15-20. YOBG also provides funding for behavioral health
services, supplies for youth, assessments, and operational costs associated with the opening of the Alan M.
Crogan Youth Treatment and Education Center, the Department’s housing location for all youth committed to
YTEC. YTEC provides youth with services, resources, and support to meet goals and experience success while in
custody, which increases the likelihood they will remain successful upon returning to their communities. TEC uses
the Ohio Youth Assessment System (OYAS) risk/needs assessment to ensure youth are properly placed in the
correct housing unit and that their individual treatment needs are met. YTEC youth attend school daily and work
toward credit recovery as well as the ability to earn a high school diploma or its equivalent. High school graduates
are provided with assistance in enrolling in a local junior college or on-line classes. YOBG funds have been used
to assist with purchasing books and supplies. Behavioral health staff provides individual counseling, group
substance abuse counseling, and family counseling. Probation staff facilitates pro-social programming such Gang
Intervention, Healthy Living, and Victim Awareness, as well as evidence-based programs such as Aggression
Replacement Training (ART) and Girls Circle.
The Intensive Re-Integration Services (IRIS) program delivers enhanced mental health services and evidence-
based programs to mentally ill youthful offenders committed to YTEC (while part of the overall YTEC program,
please note IRIS is funded through an alternate source by another County Department and is not included in the
numbers above). Within 30 days of placement into the IRIS program, the youth receive various assessments and
work with staff to develop a comprehensive community re-entry plan. Evidence-based programs the youth
receive include ART, Moral Reconation Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Seeking Safety,
and Functional Family Therapy.
YTEC also works collaboratively with six Youth Opportunity Centers located throughout Riverside County to obtain
employment readiness training for YTEC youth. Several youths have been able to obtain gainful employment and
on-the-job training. Lastly, YTEC further prepares youth for re-entry by allowing furloughs with family members,
providing opportunities for off-site completion of community service hours, and exposing youth to various off-site
educational, vocational, and recreational activities and events.

Probation's Youth Accountability Teams' (YAT) mission is to provide a collaborative and integrated multi-agency
approach to rapid and effective intervention with at-risk youth and less serious juvenile offenders through swift
and certain responses by providing necessary services to youth and their families. The program (654 W&I) is a
voluntary and collaborative program with a goal of preventing, intervening, and suppressing juvenile delinquency.
The program focuses on at-risk youth ages 12-17.5 years old who are displaying pre-delinquent and delinquent
behavior. Currently the County has 21 teams servicing 17 school districts. Each team consists of a Deputy
Probation Officer (DPO), a law enforcement officer (LEO), a Deputy District Attorney (DDA), and a community-
based organization (CBO) Youth Outreach Counselor (YOC). In addition, DPOs, LEOS and DDAs participate on
the Student Attendance Review Boards (SARB) at school districts throughout the County. Youth who are
identified as being appropriate for the YAT program may be placed on a voluntary informal probation contract and
receive intensive supervision and support from the team. Participants receive extensive mentorship and support
services that enhance the likelihood of success at school, home, and in the community. In addition, program
participation is aimed to decrease the likelihood of further involvement in criminal behavior. In the parent
component of YAT, parents are offered parenting classes and youth are required to attend certain educational
programming. DPOs assigned to the YAT program receive extensive training and team members facilitate weekly
programming which includes: anger management, life skills, substance abuse, gang involvement, graffiti,
shoplifting, and truancy. The YAT program also involves youth in community service projects. During the summer
months when school is adjourned, YAT hosts a week-long Youth Strength Academy (YSA) in the eastern and
western portions of the County. YSA is held on a local university campus where YAT youth receive leadership and
teamwork skills education; athletic competitions; nutritional information; and other life skills. Parents are required
to participate in the YSA and are provided a referral for an additional parenting education class, and youth with
their parents participate in a commencement ceremony. In addition, when school is not in session throughout the
year, youth attend organized field trips to colleges and occupational programs as well as encouraging youth
participation in pro-social activities in the community.
Expenditure Comments: Total YAT Program expenditures were less than the FY2016-17 Budgeted amount of
$7,618,354 resulting in roll-over funds of $431,760. Roll-over funds are a result of under expenditures by CBO
($244K), RPD ($97K, no replacement while staff was on leave), Sheriff ($52K), and Probation ($39K, under in
S&S, but over in S&B).

The Regional Gang Task Forces facilitates this program that provides intervention services to youth at-risk of
becoming involved in the gang subculture. This program is geared toward juveniles that have been identified as
being “on the fence” by school employees, law enforcement, or probation, as being gang members or affiliates. A
multi-agency approach is used, and home visits are made, educating parents as to the warning signs and
potential dangers involved in gang membership, association and activity. At the conclusion of these visits,
pamphlets are provided to the parents with community, government and law enforcement resources available to
both parents and juveniles to help them cope and manage these issues. Officers provide gang awareness training
to School Resource Officers (SRO’s), school district staff, administrators, police officers and other localized gang
officers on the goals and implementation of the program.
Expenditure Comments: Total GIFT Program expenditures of $109,662 were less than the FY2016-17 Budgeted
amount of $250,000 resulting in roll-over funds of $140,338. Roll-over funds are a result of lesser than anticipated
sweeps. We are expecting to schedule more sweeps and participation in FY1718.

In November 2016, Chapman University, in partnership with Probation, put into motion the collaborative
Restorative Justice (RJ) Program. The RJ model is designed from three key elements: to support the healing
process of victims by providing a safe and controlled setting for them to meet; allows the offender to learn about
the impact of the crime on the victim and to take direct responsibility for their behavior; and provide an opportunity
for the victim and offender to develop a mutually acceptable plan that addresses the harm caused by the crime.
The program provides victims with a voice and active role, something rarely available in the traditional justice
system, by fostering dialogue between the victim and offender which shows the highest rates of victim satisfaction
and youth offender accountability. Deputy Probation Officers (DPO) conduct a strict review of incoming referrals.
Upon review, the assigned RJ DPO will evaluate each referral for program eligibility and suitability. After selection,
contact is made with the youth offender and their parent/guardian in an effort to obtain consent for participation.
After consent is received, the victim is then contacted to obtain consent for participation. Mediations are
conducted throughout the western and mid-county regions and occur weekly, during evening hours, to prevent
work and school conflicts. The mediator will conduct the combined victim/offender mediation. The goal of
mediation is to allow the victim and offender an opportunity to discuss the crime in a secure setting and develop
an agreement to repair the harm done. Since the launch of RJ, approximately 24 cases have been mediated with
several pending. Many of these clients have completed the conditions for program completion which can include
an apology letter, community service and restitution. To date, the success rate of the terminated cases remains at
90%, in that, of those who successfully completed the program, over the past six months not one youthful
offender participant has been re-arrested or adjudicated. Victim mediation compliance will be monitored by the
supervision probation officer. The supervision probation officer will work with the mediator and ensure the
offender is working towards completing the sanctions agreed upon during the victim-offender reconciliation.
Offenders will have at least six months to complete the terms of the agreement. If the terms of the agreement are
not completed, the case will be returned to Probation for discretionary handling.

Tattoo removal programs assist youth in making positive changes in their life by removing tattoos which may
prohibit leaving a negative peer group or lifestyle, attaining or keeping employment, or enrolling in school.
Through the competitive bid process, Probation identified several agencies within Riverside County willing to
provide tattoo removal at a negotiated flat rate. Based on the size and color of the tattoo, it may take more than
one session to effectively remove it.
Qualifications to participate in the program: youth must be a ward (age 14 and older); youth must have a minimum
of one year remaining on probation term; youth must have parent/guardian consent; includes all visible tattoos
which hinder youth's ability to leave gang affiliation, sex trafficking, attend school, or obtain and maintain
employment; visible tattoos are those above the neckline and from upper arm to fingers; must be willing to
remove all gang related or anti-social visible tattoos (for example: youth cannot choose to remove his/her gang
moniker but not their gang name); must be enrolled in school, employed, or actively seeking employment; and
youth cannot obtain any additional tattoos.
Expenditure Comments: Total Tattoo Removal Program expenditures of $0 were less than the FY2016-17
Budgeted amount of $50,000 resulting in roll-over funds of $50,000. To date, no viable referrals have been made
due to a lack of interest by youth to use the service. Roll-over funds are expected to be utilized in FY17/18.

Youth Treatment and Education Center (YTEC) graduates are supervised in the community by Enhanced
Aftercare deputy probation officers who have all received training in Functional Family Probation Supervision, an
evidence-based case management system. Aftercare provides intensive community-based supervision of youth
released from YTEC and other placement programs. Aftercare officers follow youth throughout their participation
in YTEC, from initial assessment through reintegration into the community. Twelve full-time equivalent aftercare
officers each carry a maximum caseload of 20 cases, ensuring a more successful, individualized approach to
community reintegration. Services included: re-entry counseling, job placement, emancipation, transitional
housing assistance, and Forward Thinking classes. The increased early intervention and involvement in the re-
entry plans for all YTEC youth assist with the transition back into the community.

Provide a summary description or analysis, based on available information, of how the programs, placements,
services, strategies or system enhancements funded by JJCPA-YOBG have, or may have, contributed to, or
influenced, the juvenile justice data trends identified in this report.
The Riverside County Probation Department's collaborative Youth Accountability Team (YAT) program (654 W&I)
is a voluntary and collaborative program with a goal of preventing, intervening, and suppressing juvenile
delinquency. As related to statistical data for Riverside County, from reports generated from the Juvenile Court &
Probation Statistical System (JCPSS) for 2016, the YAT program reduced the number of petitions filed with the
Court. Of the 1119 youth in the program in 2016, 770 of those were 602 W&I youth on contract. Known
dispositions for 2017 are in-progress. Of those, 603 successfully completed the program and those referrals were
closed, thus reducing the likely number of petitions filed. The statistical report provided by the California State
University San Bernardino, reflects an approximate 72% success rate over the past 15 years. Reducing the
number of petitions filed with the court benefits the youth and families involved because they are not formally
introduced into the criminal justice system. It also benefits the community because these youths have remained
law abiding. It reduces the workload for the courts, allowing judges, district attorneys, defense attorneys, and court
personal to focus their attention on more serious offenses. Although not quantitative, by reducing the number of
youth entering the criminal justice system; sustained petitions, placements, incarcerations, and probation
violations are likely all reduced.
The Gang Intervention for Teens (GIFT) program in Riverside County for 2016. This program, facilitated by the
Riverside County Sheriff’s Department in collaboration with the Probation Department, provides intervention
services through education to youth at-risk of becoming involved with gangs. Although not quantitative, it likely
influenced statistical data related to delinquent acts because resources were accessible to youth and their families
at an early stage prior to their actual involvement in gangs.
The Restorative Justice Program's goal of mediation is to allow the victim and offender an opportunity to discuss
the crime in a secure setting and develop an agreement to repair the harm done. Since the launch of RJ,
approximately 24 cases have been mediated with several pending. Many of these clients have completed the
conditions for program completion which can include an apology letter, community service and restitution. To
date, the success rate of the terminated cases remains at 90%, in that, of those who successfully completed the
program, over the past six months not one youthful offender participant has been re-arrested or adjudicated.
The YOBG funded Youth Treatment and Education Center (YTEC), a secure treatment program for males and
females ages 15-20, serviced 165 youth and the Enhanced Aftercare program serviced 205 youth. The recent
opening of the Alan M. Crogan Youth Treatment and Education Center, allowed for the consolidation of all the
youth participating in the YTEC program to this new facility from three different locations within the County. With
this consolidation, Probation is developing a dashboard to ensure accuracy in tracking of all points of services
within the YTEC and Enhanced Aftercare programs.

Family maintenance is the primary goal of rehabilitation; however, there are often cases where it is in the best
interest of a minor on probation to be removed from the home and placed in a group home or intensive therapeutic
residential setting. If the minor is unable to be reunified with a parent or legal guardian, after completing a treatment
program, some minors may be placed with a relative, non-relative or resource family. The Probation Placement
Division (Placement) is responsible for the supervision of these youth.
Through assessments, and with the input of minors and their families, officers in the Placement unit funded by
YOBG develop case plans to identify goals, objectives and specific treatment and/or services needed. Officers then
facilitate appropriate placement of minors into group homes, residential treatment centers, and/or with foster family
agencies and programs, both in-state and out-of-state.

Youth subject to a WIC Section 602 petition are provided a risk-and-needs assessment utilizing a validated
assessment tool, in collaboration with the youth’s family/legal guardian, to determine their risk to recidivate and to
identify strengths and areas of need. The assessment results drive the dynamic and individualized case planning
process with an emphasis on criminogenic risk and protective factors. The probation officer then conducts a
structured interview to engage and motivate the youth and family. Through this guided process, evidenced-based
programs within the community are discussed and explored with the youth and family. These programs include
Functional Family Therapy (FFT) provided by Stanford Youth Solutions and Multi-Systemic Therapy (MST)
provided by River Oak Center for Children, which are both funded through JJCPA. Youth are also provided High
Fidelity Wraparound services, and other specialized community-based services including cognitive behavioral
counseling, trauma informed treatment such as Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other best
practice interventions as needed. Referrals to community-based providers are made on-site and connection to
service is timely. Supervision and support are provided by case managing officers who further the collaborative
process with service providers, youth, families, and natural supports.

Officers use the Detention Risk Assessment Instrument (DRAI), the Massachusetts Youth Screening Instrument,
Version 2 (MAYSI-2), and mental health assessments to identify youth with a history of trauma and/or mental
health needs and to make referrals to programing provided by community based organizations. Specialized
programing includes trauma-specific skills groups and other group sessions, as well as voluntary participation in
pro-social activities and vocational training.
A Multi-Sensory De-Escalation Room (MSDR), based on brain science and sensory integration, is used to assist
residents in the development of self-regulation and internal controls. Since the implementation of the MSDR in
November 2016 to June 2017, there were 518 sessions completed, which included assessments, de-escalation,
proactive, and reactive activities. Youth are assessed for a pre- and post-emotional scale score from 1 to 10. 1
indicates things are going well with the youth and they can engage with peers, and 10 indicates the youth is
experiencing elevated emotions (i.e., is very upset or ready to explode). Between November of 2016 and June of
2017 youth have experienced a 50% reduction between the pre and post emotional scale.
The Trauma Skills Program is a collaboration with two psychologists from UC Davis CAARE Diagnostic and
Treatment Center. The 10-session course is funded through YOBG and is conducted in two units – one male and
one female. The program includes empirically supported principles and education related to the effects of trauma.
The sessions include psychoeducation – what is trauma, trauma triggers, variety of trauma events, and common
trauma symptoms/reactions and skill building- relaxation, mindfulness, emotional identification, recognizing and
coping with trauma triggers, challenging problematic thinking, anger management, and healthy relationships. The
program also includes didactic information as well as activities for the youth to participate in related to the session
topic.
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Sacramento partners with the Probation Department to offer a full Boys & Girls
Club program within YDF through YOBG funding. The Clubs offers programs and activities to help youth to make
smart and healthy life choices, and provide them with opportunities for education and career development.
YOBG funds the vocational program in partnership with Northern California Construction Training, which prepares
residents for a career in building construction through both classroom instruction and hands-on experience. In July
2016, YDF expanded programming hours and made it available to include female participants. Through the
program, students learn the basic skills needed to work in the construction industry. Skills taught in the classroom
and on the job-site include job safety, tools use, construction terms, and basic blueprint reading. Students can
continue training in the community once released from custody.

The YSC program is a partnership between SCOE, Probation, and Boys and Girls Club of Greater Sacramento
(BGC). Probation officers are located at three (3) community school campuses throughout Sacramento County
(North, Central, and South).
The program includes:
• On-site and community supervision by Probation;
• Individualized treatment and supervision plans for minors;
• Truancy prevention and intervention;
• Mentoring;
• Life skills development;
• Leadership training;
• Work training and experience; and,
• Exposure to higher education, pro-social activities and afterschool programming.
Afterschool and summer programming is provided in coordination with the Boys and Girls Clubs of America to both
probation and non-probation youth. The program funded through JJCPA and includes sporting activities, team
building exercises, job preparedness, life skill seminars, and giving back to the community through working at local
food banks, cleaning up, and giving out food and water to those who are in need as well as mentoring and tutoring
assistance. Incentives for staying engaged include trips to the movies, bowling, museums, art galleries, and even
six flags discovery kingdom.
During Fiscal Year 16-17 there were 107 youth that had probation status that participated in the YSC program. 76%
of the participants paid their court ordered restitution within 6 months of entering the program compared to 20%
that completed their restitution 6 months prior to participation in the program. Additionally, probation participants
were incarcerated 24% less than they were prior to participation in the program.

The Juvenile Sex Offender (JSO) unit supervises wards of the court in the community. The youth are provided
community based treatment funded though JJCPA. The treatment is designed to reduce the likelihood of re-
offense. Following the Juvenile Sex Offender Assessment Protocol-II (J-SOAP-II), the treatment program combines
individual and group treatment sessions, relapse prevention strategizing, and necessary family counseling to
support successful program completion. The counselors and probation officers work closely to review progress,
non-attendance and/or non-participation.

Probation's overarching strategy utilizing JJCPA-YOBG funding is to increase opportunities for treatment,
supervision, and service while reducing the risk factors related to recidivism. The first step is the assessment
component. Probation utilizes the assessment to inform treatment planning. The youth and family voice and
choice are incorporated into the treatment plan. Resources are targeted to meet the specific needs of the youth
and family. Cognitive behavioral learning approaches are coupled with interventions with the goal of disrupting
delinquency by replacing the negative peer associates and promoting prosocial activities that build positive
relationships. The Probation utilizes the collaborative community based multi-disciplinary teaming along with
programs to increase family functioning within the home while also addressing behavioral issues and providing
programs with a focus on mental health, trauma, substance abuse, and vocational and educational training.

The Juvenile Work Service Program (JWSP) offered minors valuable skills, shared talents and knowledge, gained
experience, made positive relationships, and helped to make the community a better place to live. The JWSP
Program consisted of opportunities for youth to perform essential volunteer work that focused on various county
needs. The JWSP Program is an alternative to incarceration. Formal probation youth were supervised by a
probation aide that was able to counsel and mentor the juveniles through the process of giving back to the
community. Minors were required to write reflections focusing on the daily events, as well as their future goals and
aspirations. The probation aide engaged in discussions with the minors that helped them deal with their mistakes
and learn to make positive decisions in the future. There was an ongoing communication process between the
probation aide and the minor's probation officer.
The probation youth had hours of community service imposed by the juvenile court and through informal probation.
The youth completed their hours by the end of their probation term.
YOBG funds covered the salary and benefits of a probation aide.

Youth Alliance (YA), a community based organization, provided case management; individual, parent and group
interactive workshops; referral services; and transition plans. Probation officers and a Youth Alliance case
manager used a family meeting model to work collaboratively with local agencies, schools, families, and the youth
to improve services and provide direction and support to these families. Youth referred to this organization
participated in their El Joven Noble Program. El Joven Noble is a comprehensive indigenous based, youth
leadership development program that supported and guided young men through their manhood "rites of passage"
process while focusing on the prevention of substance abuse, teen pregnancy, relationship violence, gang violence
and school failure.
This program provided a culturally competent curriculum, social and educational services with programs designed
to influence young men to become strong fathers and responsible men. It also healed and prevented the issue of
domestic violence and addressed the issue of community and gang violence.
Approximately sixteen (16) youth took part in the El Joven Noble Program (JNP). The JNP ran 2.5 hours per week
for 14 weeks. The parents of the JNP youth participated in Cara Y Corazon Parent Guidance Group. Parents in
the group met two (2) hours per week for a period of 12 weeks.

The Paula Norton Reading Program provided one-on-one tutoring services using the Linda Mood-Bell teaching
instruction tools to both 707b and non-707b WIC offenders. This reading program has been used by the Probation
Department for 13 years and has been proven through pre-and post test results to have a significant improvement
in minor's spelling and reading scores.
YOBG funding covered the instructor's cost at an hourly rate.
This reading program increased the reading levels of these youth and played a large role in reducing recidivism
and delinquent behaviors. Studies show a link between higher levels of literacy and a reduced risk of delinquency,
incarceration and recidivism.

A counselor facilitated "Thinking for a Change" group sessions to youth using a positive youth development
approach. During the sessions the youth learned to identify, work through and manage negative emotions and
were able to identify the distortions that emerged from their dysfunctional thinking habits. The more painful the
thoughts processed, the more painful the experience. The more unpleasant emotions always signal dysfunctional
thinking. Even fear and anger might arise in response to a real and present danger signal distorted thinking, which,
if entertained would result in less functional and/or perhaps catastrophic responses.
The funds was used to support one facilitator at an hourly rate. Our high-risk youth were able to see distortions
that emerged from their dysfunctional thinking habits and they learned to begin to experience more mature and
objective responses.
This program assisted youth with addressing risk factors that are proven through research to affect recidivism.

Early Intervention Program (EIP) is a family-focused reduced caseload that emphasizes matching the entire family
to local resources. The family-focused case planning was particularly important given the parents' demonstrated
inability to adequately supervise and discipline their children. In addition, youth were immersed in valuable
programs and activities at a level that facilitates competency development.

services, strategies or system enhancements funded by JJCPA-YOBG have, or may have, contributed to, or
influenced, the juvenile justice data trends identified in this report.
All minors referred to the Probation Department for delinquency charges are assessed at intake using the Positive
Achievement Change Tool (PACT) through Noble Software Group (NobleSG). Officers use the results to make
informed decisions concerning the minor's needs and their potential risk to themselves or the community.
Probation youth and their families participate in Child Family Team (CFT) meetings and are referred to the
Children's System Of Care (CSOC) team. CSOC and CFT meetings result in the development and/or modification
of case plans for each minor that focuses on improving school attendance and academic performance, instilling
positive social values, and strengthening the family.
Families' participation in YOBG and JJCPA funded services and activities has resulted in compliance with court
orders as well as a reduction in recidivism and caseload sizes. The JJCPA funding of juvenile probation officers
enables the effective use of graduated sanctions for youth. The JWSP program funded by YOBG has a dedicated
probation aide that has been responsible for securing community service sites resulting in youth completing their
court ordered community service obligations.
To ensure regular school attendance and academic success the department has provided daily transportation to
youth to school and referred youth to tutoring funded by JJCPA.
Previous results for participants (compared to the previously identified control group) indicate a much lower re-
arrest rate; a much higher completion rate of community service; and a much lower probation violation rate.
San Benito County Probation Department's objective to reduce the number of high-risk youth has been achieved
through a probation driven case plan approach that includes the services funded by both YOBG and JJCPA.

Gateway is a residential program that provides rehabilitative services to youths that are committed by the Juvenile
Court. Gateway provides 24-hour supervision for male juveniles between the ages of 16 and 19, and has a bed
capacity of 40 wards.
Gateway is a two-phase program, with Phase I located at the Central Valley Juvenile Detention and Assessment
Center. Phase II is located at the Regional Youth Educational Facility. While at Gateway, youths are guided
through the program by Probation staff. The staff receives specialized training which enables them to serve as
mentors and role models that coach, guide and provide therapeutic support to the youths in the absence of their
families. The staff also provide for the safety and security of the youths and the facility.
Gateway youths receive educational, medical and mental health services by staff trained in each specific area.
Youth also participate in component classes such as Aggression Replacement Therapy (A.R.T,), MATRIX
(Substance Abuse Program), Parenting-Arise, Teen Dating and Phoenix (Gang Intervention). Youths are provided
with employment preparation and employment placement and participate in community service. They learn hands-
on skills through the Regional Occupational Program (R.O.P.) and through successful skill leveling, earn "Home
Furloughs" which aides in the successful reunification of the youths and their families.
The Mock Trials Program at Gateway won the 2016 California State Association of Counties (CSAC) Challenge
Award. The Inside Out/R.E.A.C.H. Program won the Annual 2016 JJDPC Service to Youth Award, which was
presented at the October 2016 Board of Supervisors Meeting. Gateway is a program that uses Evidence Based
Programming to assist the youths. One impediment is the inability to expand.
YOBG funds continue to serve as a source for funding salaries (which includes benefits), overhead services and
supplies necessary to facilitate program operations. Funds are also used for youth counseling provided through
the local Department of Behavioral Health and other training.

The High-Risk Juvenile Supervision Units focus on community safety and supervision. The population identified in
this category are deemed to be the most serious sophisticated criminalistics youths who are at a high risk to re-
offend.
The Medium Risk Supervision units serve a population of youths identified as requiring significant treatment
intervention based on their criminogenic needs. Needs should be targeted using motivational interviewing
techniques, rewards system and a system of graduated sanctions. Individualized treatment plans and smaller
caseloads will allow officers to assist youths with behavior change.
All youths are assessed utilizing the JAIS instrument and family members will be involved in the rehabilitative
process. The department continues to strive to assist offenders by providing cognitive restructuring via referrals
to services. High Risk level intervention will focus on more frequent contacts with the youths, community based
programs and the service providers. Specialized caseloads (ex: gender-specific and sex offender) will receive
higher levels of oversight.
This is a longstanding program which has been in existence for many years. A (random) but identifiable obstacle
in the program continues to be engaging the youth (and family) in behavioral change. Coordinating enrichment
services also serves as a barrier.
The funds for this program are used for salaries (including benefits), overhead and various services and supplies
necessary to facilitate the program.

This program is designed to increase the Average Daily Attendance (ADA) to schools while reducing the negative
impacts caused by truancy and juvenile delinquency. The program specifically targets youths (K-12) who are
struggling with attending school as defined in the California Department of Education Code, EC 48260 (a).
The program involves the youths, family members, school and law enforcement personnel. Interventions and
rehabilitation efforts range from letter(s) to the parent/guardian, parent presentation, Student Attendance Review
(S.A.R.B.) meetings to citations and referrals for individual and family services. The program is aimed at assisting
the youths and their families in deterring truancy and improving school attendance.
Acknowledgement of an attendance problem and the impact it has as well as youth and family cooperation is a
barrier for the program.
Funds are used to cover salaries (including benefits) and program overhead which includes services and
supplies.

This program is designed to reduce campus delinquent behavior and provide prevention, intervention and
rehabilitative services to those students who exhibit behavior or have been identified as needing services. This
includes youths with behavioral, supervision/expulsion, attendance and those struggling with educational
comprehension. Campus staff, including teachers, Probation Officers and Counselors, are provided with training
and skills to identify, assess and work with those youths exhibiting the aforementioned behaviors. Staff will make
contact with the Probation Officer, who will then make the necessary referrals for appropriate individual and family
services. School Probation Officers are readily available and able to attend Student Attendance Review Board
(S.A.R.B.) Meetings and in turn intervene early by identifying issues and making necessary referrals for services.
This is a positive program and there are currently twenty-five (25) Probation Officers providing services to youths
in approximately twelve (12) different school districts.
Youths do not have to be declared a Ward to receive services which means there are some youths (and families)
who do not wish to acknowledge an issue and voluntarily participate in the services extended to them.
The funds for this program cover salaries (including benefits), overhead and services and supplies necessary to
facilitate the program.

This program identifies, addresses and monitors at risk youths between the ages of 11-17 years of age, with or
without wardship, that have at least two of the following risk factors:
Family issues
Ÿ School problems
Ÿ Substance abuse
Delinquency patterns
Throughout the day, supervision, prevention and intervention services are provided in a structured environment
for youths in various regions of the county. Targeted regions include the West Valley, High Desert and San
Bernardino areas. Components provided include community service, education, counseling, recreation and
parenting classes for the parents of youths who are delinquent or pre-delinquent. Referrals for services come
from the Court, Probation Department, law enforcement agencies, public or private agencies and
parents/guardians of at-risk youths.
Follow through and voluntary participation for the youths who are not wards is a concern. Compliance through
participation and completion is sometimes an issue for youths who are wards of the court.
This program continues to be a positive resource for referrals and services to youths and families of the
communities in which we serve.
The funding for this program covers salaries and benefits as well as overhead and supplies necessary to facilitate
classes and provide services.

Probation staff assigned to the House Arrest Program (H.A.P.) help reduce the population in the Juvenile
Detention and Assessment Centers (JDAC's) by providing supervision for those youths who are awaiting
disposition of their matter(s) by the court. Supervision includes electronic monitoring and documentation of
behaviors, including compliance or lack thereof. It may also include the youths’ involvement in community-based
programs to address problem areas and/or participation in Day Reporting Center (DRC) classes.
This is a twenty-four (24) hour monitoring program which utilizes risk specific guidelines to determine a youths’
eligibility in the program. This program is designed to provide an alternative to detention while allowing (eligible)
youths to remain in the community while their case in being processed through the Juvenile Court System.
Barriers of the program include the youths (and sometimes family members) lack of willingness to comply with the
program.
The program continues to serve as a system to effectively manage the population at the Juvenile Detention and
Assessment Centers (JDAC's). Additionally, it allows youths to remain in the community and participate in
enrichment and treatment services.

San Bernardino: Data Trend Analysis
ANALYSIS OF COUNTYWIDE TREND DATA for: San Bernardino
Government Code Section 30061(b)(4)(C)(iv) & WIC Section 1961(c)(3)
Provide a summary description or analysis, based on available information, of how the programs, placements,
services, strategies or system enhancements funded by JJCPA-YOBG have, or may have, contributed to, or
influenced, the juvenile justice data trends identified in this report.
Over the past three years, the number of youths in juvenile detention facilities, juvenile placements and those on
juvenile supervision has decreased. Probation Officers located on school campuses are able to identify and offer
intervention and rehabilitative services to youths in need (and their families) early and often. In addition to
attending and actively attending Student Attendance Review Board (S.A.R.B.) Meetings on the school campus,
the officers submit individualized treatment referrals for services which include Group, Family and Individual
Counseling, Tutoring, Psychological Testing and specialized services such as Sex Offender treatment and are
also able to teach classes on campus. Prevention, intervention and rehabilitative services include but are not
limited to the Youth Accountability Board (Y.A.B.), 654 and 654.2 Informal Probation, Youth Alternative Solutions
(Y.A.S.P), Let's End Truancy (L.E.T.), the House Arrest Program (H.A.P.) and the option for matters to Settle Out
of Court (S.O.C.). Enrichment classes such as Truancy, Shoplifting, and Parenting Classes are offered at the
multiple Day Reporting Centers and approved provider locations. These classes are aimed at specifically
addressing identified issues and serve as an aide in deterring aberrant behavior.
There are situations wherein the preventative actions taken are not successful in keeping youths from formal
probation supervision and incarceration. When youths have been ordered to rehabilitation programs such as
Gateway, they are provided with a plethora of services, again, aimed at deterring any further delinquent behaviors
and incarceration into adulthood. Programming and services provided at Gateway include living skills, job
placement and for those youths who have successfully obtained their High School Diploma, the opportunity to
attend classes at the local junior college. The youths also learn socialization skills and perform community service
at local city parks and charities. While in the community, the youths are supervised by sworn probation staff
trained specifically to interact with and provide services for the youths.
There are various staff trained to provide services for the youths, including Probation Officers and Probation
Corrections Officers, Probation Corrections Supervisors and Supervising Probation Officers. The staff are located
at the local schools, Day Reporting Centers and Gateway, a juvenile treatment facility. The staff receive
specialized training which allows them to teach, interact and provide services to the youths designed to prevent or
deter delinquent behavior and to aid the youths in becoming a productive member of society.

Breaking Cycles is a graduated response program for medium to high-risk youth, ages 12 to 18. Youth are
committed to Breaking Cycles by the Juvenile Court for a period of 150, 240 or 365 days. A multi-disciplinary
team assessment process is used to review risk and needs and to develop a comprehensive case plan in
response to the risks and needs assessed. Parents/caregivers and other family members are encouraged to
participate in all aspects of the program, including parent support groups to ensure the youth is successful.
Utilizing a team approach with the Probation Officer as the lead, Breaking Cycles provides a seamless
continuum of services and graduated responses, with the ability to move the probationer up or down the
continuum without returning the Juvenile Court, provided there is no new arrest.
This continuum of services assists in the transition from custody to the community and from program to
program, thereby ensuring greater success for the youth in maintaining a crime-free and drug-free lifestyle. The
Breaking Cycles umbrella of services includes assessment and reassessment teams, alcohol and drug
treatment, mental health services, individual and family counseling, community supervision, case management
and a variety of programming options, including custodial and non-custodial.

Community Assessment Teams (CAT) are community based and family oriented teams that utilize a multi-
disciplinary approach to provide case management services to youth. The teams are comprised of case
managers, Probation Officers, alcohol and drug specialists, parent educators, mental health professionals, and
school representatives. These services are alternatives to more formal action with the juvenile justice and
education systems, such as detention, court, probation, expulsion, and correctional camps, which are costly to
taxpayers. Many of these families have a history of substance abuse, sexual/physical abuse, limited education,
and underdeveloped social skills.
The CAT program represents collaboration among the San Diego County Probation Department and various
CBOs throughout the region. The County contracts with community agencies to provide the services with
community agencies to provide services with the agencies collaborating with Probation Officers assigned to the
regions.
Youth are referred to the program by Probation, schools, law enforcement, community-based agencies and self-
referral. CAT offers a spectrum of prevention and low-level intervention support services including, but not
limited to, case management, counseling, skills building, behavioral health, academic assistance, and
community services.
Services are provided to address issues such as anger management problems, violence, alcohol and other
drug use, gang involvement, school problems and other anti-social behaviors. After initial screening, the youth
and family may be referred directly to services outside the program. Family assessments are completed as
indicated and case managers collaborate with client families to develop case plans for increasing strengths and
addressing issues.

The Juvenile Drug Court program (JDC) is a partnership of the Juvenile Court, Public Defender, District
Attorney, Probation, Health and Human Services Agency/Behavioral Health Services, treatment providers and
law enforcement. This program serves youth with substance abuse needs and a history of drug treatment non-
compliance.
The program goal is to help youth eliminate addiction and reduce criminogenic needs through intensive
supervision and recovery services. Program elements include frequent JDC appearances, outpatient treatment
services, intensive supervision including frequent drug testing with incentives for compliant behavior and
immediate consequences/sanctions for non-compliant behavior. Non-compliant events include testing positive
for alcohol or other drugs, failing to attend treatment, refusing to participate in treatment, not attending school
or failing to abide by the rules of their home or placement.
Juvenile Recovery Specialists (JRS) assigned to the Substance Abuse/JDC Unit refer minors to local
substance abuse treatment programs. Substance abuse treatment providers report on minor’s progress to the
case worker. Case workers conduct field visits and drug testing at schools and homes. Probation Officers
provide case management and progress reports to the court on community, school, and family issues. Before
each JDC session, the JDC Team reviews each minor’s progress, including treatment and his/her behavior in
the community and at home. Compliance to individual case plan goals is required for program graduation.
The Substance Abuse Services (SAS) program was designed for youth with no prior substance abuse
treatment experience. Through SAS, Juvenile Rehabilitation Specialists (JRS) provide case management,
regular drug testing, and referral services through community based organizations.
Youth with moderate substance abuse issues submit to drug testing three times per month as long as they are
able to maintain sobriety at a lower level of supervision.
Youth with a higher level of need are enrolled in a treatment program that includes more intensive probation
supervision, as well as substance use classes. These youth are drug-tested a minimum of two times per month
by Probation, in addition to testing conducted by the treatment program.

The Truancy Supervision Program (TSP) is a collaborative effort between the Juvenile Court, District Attorney,
Primary Public Defender, Probation Department, the County Office of Education and various school districts
that have identified habitually truant students. All parties collectively work to assist youth experiencing truancy
issues that threaten their educational potential and put them at risk for further introduction into the juvenile
justice system. Youth may be subject to court hearings to address their level of truancy to dissuade further
involvement into the juvenile justice system. The Probation Department serves as the principal case manager
to assist youth and their families with program requirements; the District Attorney refers youth identified during
a screening process to community-based organizations for appropriate services.

Juvenile Forensic Assistance for Stabilization and Treatment (JFAST) is a comprehensive, coordinated
program that addresses the mental health needs of juvenile offenders. JFAST partners include the San Diego
Superior Court, San Diego County Behavioral Health/Juvenile Forensic Services, the Probation Department,
the District Attorney and the Public Defender. JFAST’s mission is to promote rehabilitation and public safety,
and to reduce recidivism by providing access to individualized treatment of mentally ill youth using a community
treatment approach.
Implemented in July 2010, JFAST incorporates a collaborative, evidence-based drug court model to provide
youth access to individualized treatment. Partners from the Probation Department, Juvenile Court, Public
Defender, District Attorney, San Diego County Behavioral Health/Juvenile Forensic Services and a community
based organization contractor make up the JFAST team. The team meets weekly to review candidates for the
program, develop treatment plans and assess youth progress/graduation criteria.
The program’s objective is to enroll participants in individualized mental health programs that utilize a
community treatment approach, which can include individual and/or group therapy, case management, wrap-
around services, the San Diego Regional Center, education assistance as well as referrals to medication
assistance.
The program also uses a combination of incentives and sanctions to encourage positive behavior or address
program noncompliance. Youth who are accepted in the JFAST program typically have a mental health
diagnosis beyond an Axis I – Conduct Disorder. The JFAST program works with participants who have
experienced significant mental health episodes which threaten in-home placement and may place them at risk
for removal to a group home or residential treatment facility.
JFAST is one of the last available options to keep youth in their home prior to a recommendation to the court
for commitment into a residential treatment facility.

Upon a participant's release into the community, County of San Diego Probation supervision begins. A
Probation Officer will be assigned to each youth who will aid in the youth's transition from detention into the
community. Supervision focuses on a case plan prepared through a risk assessment tool to identify the top
areas for the Probation Officer to focus on with the youth and family. The Probation Officer makes referrals to
community-based treatment programs which may include, but are not limited to, gang intervention, mental
health, drug/alcohol treatment, relationship violence prevention and education continuation. The Probation
Officer stays engaged with the youth, family and service providers to work with the youth towards positive
behavior change and completion of Probation conditions. Ultimately the goal is for the youth to become a law
abiding and thriving citizen of the community.
All Probation Officers are trained in Integrated Behavioral Intervention Strategies (IBIS), which is an Evidence
Based Practice (EBP) of teaching Probation Officers skills on how to interact and approach youth and families
through motivational interviewing and cognitive-based tools.

Literacy services are provided to probationers who are Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) or DJJ eligible
youth. This program assists youth in uniting with their families through the bonding experience of reading aloud
together. Participants are recorded reading a book; a DVD of the recording along with the book that was read is
sent home to the participant's children or children in the participant's family life.
Literacy has shown to be an Evidence-Based Practice that may positively impact recidivism. It also raises the
self-esteem and confidence of participants, many of whom request repeat participation after receiving positive
feedback from family.

San Diego: Data Trend Analysis
ANALYSIS OF COUNTYWIDE TREND DATA for: San Diego
Government Code Section 30061(b)(4)(C)(iv) & WIC Section 1961(c)(3)
Provide a summary description or analysis, based on available information, of how the programs, placements,
services, strategies or system enhancements funded by JJCPA-YOBG have, or may have, contributed to, or
influenced, the juvenile justice data trends identified in this report.
Similar to all California counties, San Diego County has experienced a decline in the juvenile arrest rate.
Specifically, there was an 18 percent decrease in juvenile arrests from 2014 to 2015 and a 53 percent decrease
from 2011 to 2015 (Burke, 2016). The San Diego County Probation Department has also seen a 52 percent
decline in their juvenile population numbers from 2010 to 2015 (County of San Diego Probation Department
Annual Report, 2015). Coupled with research that shows detention increases the likelihood of a youth returning to
prison, the San Diego County Probation Department has made significant changes to reduce or divert youth from
detention. Additionally, the Probation Department has been committed to using JJCPA-YOBG funds to create a
continuum of care and has had a long and extensive history of collaborating with partners and stakeholders in the
community to increase the opportunity for youth to receive and access services in the communities they live in.
With the research and programs focused more on prevention and diversion services than in the past, San Diego
County utilized more programs based on best practices and evidence-based principles. For example, the CAT
program (which is funded by JJCPA) represents a collaboration between the San Diego County Probation
Department and various community-based organizations throughout the region. Prevention and low-level
intervention services are provided in the CAT program addresses issues a youth may have. In FY 2014–2015,
diversion services moved from the San Diego County Department of Health and Human Services to the Probation
Department under the CAT program. This change allowed for the continuum of services for at-risk youth county-
wide to be served under the same umbrella of family-based services. The focus on prevention is reflected in the
numbers of youth served in the JJCPA funded programs in calendar year 2016. There were a total 3,364
participants; and of those youth, 2,441 were in the CAT/Diversion program.
On the other end of the service continuum, the San Diego County Probation Department has seen a reduction in
the numbers of higher risk juveniles served through the Youthful Offender Block Grant (YOBG) over the past five
years. In FY 2011-2012 the number of youth booked totaled 2,971 youth. By FY 2016-2017, the number of youth
booked into detention 1,620 youth, an overall reduction of more than 45% from FY 2011-2012. This may be due in
part to services implemented within the last two to three years, such as trauma counseling, remedial education,
and specific motivational programs, such as a running club, outdoor/garden therapy and group counseling funded
by YOBG.
These auxiliary programs are San Diego County's response to the need to provide more in-depth diversion
services as alternatives to juvenile detention and they also serve as an introduction to successful community
involvement for the juveniles. Additionally, although not funded by JJCPA or YOBG, the San Diego County
Probation Department has initiated a pilot program called Family Therapy Services to provide in-home family
counseling to Probation juveniles who are at risk of justice involvement. It is our hope that this counseling
program will strengthen the downward trend in arrest and recidivism statistics by providing social support to
families who may be experiencing trauma, chronic financial stress, and a lack of opportunity to connect to
available community services. The County of San Diego Probation Department expects to see a continued
decline in the juvenile arrest rate and subsequent justice involvement and will continue to utilize JJCPA and
YOBG funding to help expand services and programs where there is the greatest need in collaboration with all
community-based organizations and partners.

Provide a summary description or analysis, based on available information, of how the programs, placements,
services, strategies or system enhancements funded by JJCPA-YOBG have, or may have, contributed to, or
influenced, the juvenile justice data trends identified in this report.
The number of youth in the 180-day evaluation period for FY 16/17 are as follows: Community Assessment &
Referral Center (CARC) 266 youth; Evening Reporting Center (ERC) 37 youth; Gender Services 306 youth; Life
Learning Academy (LLA) 64 youth; Case Management Wraparound (CM) 240 youth.
Of the youth served during the 180-day period, the number and % of youth with any contact in JJIS are as follows:
CARC 193 or 73%; ERC 32 or 87%; Gender Services 81 or 26%; LLA 61 or 95%; CM 77 or 32%.
Of the youth with JPD contacts 26% of CARC and Gender Services youth were arrested during the 180-day
evaluation period. About 30% of LLA and CM youth with contacts were arrested and half of the ERC youth with
contacts were arrested. These figures are consistent with the previous fiscal year for all services except for LLA
where nearly twice the share (55%) of FY 15/16 LLA participants had an arrest during the evaluation period. Of
youth arrested, nearly all were incarcerated. These figures are consistent with the previous fiscal year.
Of those youth with contacts in JJIS, large majorities (ERC 81%, Gender Services 63%, LLA 56% and CM 64%)
of participants were on formal probation during their participation, and between 8% and 20% had informal
probation. For CARC, 13% were on formal probation and 8% were on informal probation. Across the programs,
8% to 21% of youth on probation showed a probation violation. The figures ae consistent with the previous fiscal
year for CARC, Gender Services, and CM participants. But for ERC and LLA youth are half that of the previous
year.
For youth whose record is still in the JJIS and we are therefore able to observe the probation term (365 days for
formal probation and 180 days for informal probation) no youth in any program showed a successful completion of
informal probation, and only 4% of Gender Services and 5% CM participants showed successful completion of
formal probation. These results likely reflect a change in the record sealing process for youth successfully
completing probation. Prior to the change in process, completion for formal probation ranged from 10% to 30%
and about 40% to 100% for informal probation. We are looking at other methods of measuring this outcome given
that sealed records are removed from JJIS and cannot be matched to program records for the evaluation period.

The POOC program assigns probation officers to school sites to supervise probation youth attending school.
While standard probation supervision may require no more than one scheduled meeting a month, the link
between the probation officer and students at the school site allows for more intensive interaction. By working
closely with school personnel, the probation officer is able to provide both supervision and support to help the
youth avoid future delinquent behavior. Additionally, the presence of a probation officer on a school campus has
a positive effect on the overall school environment for all students at that site.
Probation Officers provide intensive supervision services, as well as monitor attendance, assist in handling
disciplinary problems, and work with school staff to ensure that mental health, substance abuse, and other
issues that may be relevant to the behavior of the youth is addressed.
The POOC officers also have regular contact with at-risk children who have not yet entered into the Juvenile
Justice System. They provide intervention and referral services to these youth who are referred by parents,
teachers, and school administration. The POOC officers also regularly participate in school events such as
career days and other presentations; attend school sporting events, Individualized Education Plan (IEP)
meetings, School Attendance Review Board (SARB) meetings and Student Success Team (SST) meetings.
POOC officers are trained in Motivational Interviewing techniques and Effective Practices in Community
Supervision in addition to facilitating various cognitive behavioral interventions.
JJCPA funds were used to pay the salary and benefits for: one Probation Unit Supervisor, two Probation Officers
III, four Probation Officers II, and one part-time Probation Assistant; usage charges for seven cell phones and
seven vehicles from County motor pool; lease charges for one shared photocopier, drug testing
services/supplies, office supplies, worker's comp insurance, and casualty insurance.

Reconnect is a collaborative effort between the San Joaquin County Probation Department, San Joaquin County
Office of Education, and Community Partnership for Families of San Joaquin, which provides an alternative to
detention, educational services, and evidence based programming and services to rebuild family relationships.
Additional program goals include decreasing truancy for probation-involved youth, providing on-site family
service integration, and assisting probation youth in reconnecting and remaining in the community in lieu of
custody.
The two major program objectives of the Reconnect Day Reporting Program (Reconnect) have been to:
1. Provide a comprehensive alternative to detention by establishing a day reporting center; and
2. Reduce recidivism by providing targeted evidenced-based programming (EBP) to a high-risk population.
Part of the Reconnect Program is to provide youth with Aggression Replacement Therapy (ART). On site
Probation Officers are trained in ART facilitation. Youth work as a group to answer questions, act out situational
skits, and learn to manage their aggression better. The evaluation summary noted that over 90% of youth
agreed that they learned new skills, as well as how to control their anger, and how to consider another person's
perspective.
In April 2017, Reconnect enhanced the EBP offered to include a three-phase program that includes Orientation,
Foundations, Social Skills, Problem Solving, Cognitive Based Intervention – Substance Abuse, Anger Control
Training, Secure One’s Self - a model to address trauma and addiction together, and aftercare that includes
advanced practice and success planning. In the near future, this programming model created for Reconnect will
be provided to all probation youth who must complete EBP as a condition of their probation supervision.
Additionally, the officers are also trained in Motivational Interviewing (MI) techniques and Effective Practices in
Community Supervision (EPICS), in addition to facilitating various cognitive behavioral interventions.
This program has also provided additional neighborhood-based Probation Officers to coordinate re-entry and
prevention services.
JJCPA funds were used to pay the salary and benefits for: one Probation Unit Supervisor, one Probation Officer
III, one Probation Officer II, and one Senior Office Assistant; usage charges for three cell phones and one
vehicle from County motor pool; lease charges for one shared photocopier; drug testing services/supplies, office
supplies, staff training, facility expense, contract services for EBP and evaluation, worker's comp insurance,
casualty insurance, and program expenses (vocational training, incentives, and educational materials).

Neighborhood Service Centers use a multidisciplinary team approach to working with at-risk and justice involved
youth and their families. The NSC program model utilizes a trauma informed approach in both case
management and resource and referral connections. Two core practice principles implemented through NSC is
the building of protective factors and using a trauma-informed lens to assess youth and family needs and
develop a comprehensive and coordinated service plan.
Program Description: Neighborhood Services Center/Youth & Family Success Team program model engages
youth and their parents/guardians both before and after they interact with law enforcement. A NSC has three
primary functions: 1) To facilitate neighborhood driven initiatives, support activities for children and families that
build protective factors, connect community members and support community leadership development; 2) To
transform social service delivery in San Joaquin County by enabling families to easily access services and
resources where they are. Each NSC co-locates multiple services providers, both public and private, to increase
the accessibility of services for families; and 3) To provide comprehensive, integrated services through
coordinated Youth and Family Success teams including prevention and early intervention for issues such as
obesity, truancy, unemployment and education.
The core of the NSC model is an integrated Youth and/or Family Success Team (YFST). The purpose of the
YFST is to enable service providers to efficiently convene and coordinate multi-disciplinary services. Each NSC
offers:
• Comprehensive intake and assessment to identify family needs
• Resource information and referrals to other agencies
• An integrated services family plan, involving the family, for the families involved in multiple systems
• Leadership development and Community organizing
• Health insurance enrollment assistance
• Health/Nutrition education
• Health screening and certain types of preventive care
• Counseling Therapy
• Youth Organizing/Positive Youth Development Groups: Comprehensive youth-centered services curriculum
which includes youth-centered case management, including youth-only case management and youth-centered
family case management, youth organizing and youth-facilitated community events.
• Parenting Groups: Parenting groups are peer learning groups with informal facilitation by a service provider.
These groups promote the sharing of parenting concerns, ideas, solutions and skills. They also provide an
additional type of social connection.
The NSC contract is $600,000--however, because the last two invoices totaling $100,000 were received after
the 2016-17 fiscal year cutoff, they will be paid in fiscal year 2017-18 with encumbered funds.

information on the types of youth served, prevention services you provided, your accomplishments, any
barriers encountered, and what specifically JJCPA and/or YOBG funds paid for.
The FFIT program was initially funded by the JJCPA Act in 2000. Due to a reduction in JJCPA funding for 2004-
2005, the FFIT program was eliminated. As a result of increased funding the program is being resurrected in
2017-2018.
Evidence Upon Which it is Based: Research suggests children neglected or exposed to violence early in life are
more likely to exhibit attachment issues and be involved in delinquent type behavior. Unfortunately, a
substantial amount of our high-risk clients suffers from mental illness, substance abuse issues and/or are
homeless. The Family Focused Intervention Team (FFIT) officers will assist these high-risk clients who have
children by providing case management services, evidence based programming and directly addressing the
family needs. It is anticipated that when the families receive services to address their individual and family
needs, it will positively impact the at-risk children living in the home and possibly reduce the children’s risk of
entering into the juvenile justice system. This program was modeled after other wraparound case-managed
programs.
Program Description: FFIT officers provide wraparound case management services to parents who are under
probation jurisdiction and significant risk factors exist for children in the home. The goal of the program is to
intervene in these high-risk families to prevent/reduce violence in the home by providing case management
services and evidence based programming to directly address the needs of the families. The long-term program
goal is to positively impact at-risk children and thus prevent their ultimate entry into the juvenile justice system.
The program will assist clients in providing an appropriate environment in which to raise children and remain
crime free, while offering appropriate supervision and support to these high-risk families. Targeted families will
include those that suffer from mental illness, substance abuse issues, and/or are homeless
.
FFIT officers conduct visits both in the office and at the client’s homes to monitor court compliance with court-
ordered conditions of probation. FFIT officers will refer their clients to evidence based programs to assist with
their needs as well as complete individualized case plans to address the clients and family member’s needs.
FFIT officers are trained in Motivational Interviewing techniques and Effective Practices in Community
Supervision in addition to facilitating various cognitive behavioral interventions.
The FFIT program is new for 2017-18; therefore, no funds were expended for this program in 2016-17.

Many youth who have previously been removed from parental custody and committed to out-of-home placement
return to the community. The Probation Department recognizes it is critical for these youth and their families to
receive supportive transitional services, close supervision, and coordinated case management in order for them
to successfully reintegrate into the community. These youth are assigned to the Family Visions program and
receive Wraparound services. Some youth are placed in the program in lieu of out-of-home placement. A
validated risk/needs assessment tool will be utilized in developing the reentry plan, and referrals will be made to
evidence-based programs, which may be facilitated by the probation officers. Probation officer contacts are in
conjunction with home and school visits, treatment provider meetings, family success team meetings, School
Attendance Review Boards, and IEP meetings.
YOBG funds continue to pay salaries and benefits for one Probation Officer II, and usage charges for one cell

San Joaquin County has implemented a validated risk/needs assessment instrument (PACT) for all youth
entering the Juvenile Justice System. The results of the PACT aid in identifying appropriate dispositions,
referrals to evidence based programs, and developing reentry plans for those youth returning home after
detention in Juvenile Hall, the Camp, or out-of-home placement. Criminogenic needs are identified, assessed,
and prioritized to allow probation officers to make informed decisions. Youth are scored on their risk to reoffend,
and resources are focused on the moderate-high to high-risk youth in an effort to reduce future criminality and
recidivism. All youth booked into Juvenile Hall are assessed using the Detention Risk Assessment Instrument, a
validated assessment tool used to make a determination as to whether the youth should remain detained or be
released from custody pending their court proceedings.
YOBG funds continue to pay the salaries and benefits for two Probation Unit Supervisors, one Probation Officer

To determine the effectiveness of the evidence-based assessment tools that are in place and designed to
reduce the rate of recidivism among the juvenile offender population, San Joaquin County Probation has
contracted with the San Joaquin Community Data Co-op to collaborate on a comprehensive Recidivism Study
for the Juvenile Division. This study will determine the recidivism rate over the course of multiple three-year
periods (both before and after the implementation of an evidence-based assessment tool). Additionally, San
Joaquin Data Co-op is also working on creating a Detention Risk Assessment Instrument (DRAI) Dashboard to
identify and track key decision points made in determining if a youth remains in or out custody. They will also be
creating various reports throughout the year. This will assist the department in making further data driven
decisions regarding the utilization and effectiveness of the DRAI tool.
YOBG funds paid for a contract with the Data Coop for spreadsheet design, data analysis, and the construction
of the DRAI Dashboard; as well as conducting a juvenile recidivism study, and the Probation Department staff
overtime for the data collection.

San Joaquin: Data Trend Analysis
ANALYSIS OF COUNTYWIDE TREND DATA for: San Joaquin
Government Code Section 30061(b)(4)(C)(iv) & WIC 1961(c)(3)
Provide a summary description or analysis, based on available information, of how the programs, placements,
services, strategies or system enhancements funded by JJCPA-YOBG have, or may have, contributed to, or
influenced, the juvenile justice data trends identified in this report.
As this is the first year evaluating the Countywide Juvenile Justice Data provided by JCPSS and DOJ, we are
unable to identify any trends at this point. However, the following analysis of the data is submitted:
Report 1
For the 2016 reporting year (January 1 - December 31, 2016), there was a total of 3,534 juvenile referrals to the
San Joaquin County Probation Department for delinquent acts. Of these referrals, 2,427 or 68.7% were for males
and 31.3% were for females. In regard to race/ethnicity, 46.1% of youth were Hispanic, 28.2% were Black, 17.9%
White, 4.4% Asian, 0.6% Indian, 0.5% Pacific Islander, and 2.3% were of an unknown race/ethnicity.
Report 3
There were 1,337 petitions for delinquent acts filed in 2016 and of these, 598 (44.7%) were new petitions and
55.3% were subsequent petitions. Eight in ten (80.6%) of the juveniles were male and 19.4% were female. The
race/ethnicity of these juveniles is as follows: 44.6% were Hispanic, 31.6% were Black, 16.7% White, 3.6% Pacific
Islander, 0.3% Indian, and 2.6% were of an unknown race/ethnicity.
The following is a breakdown of court dispositions resulting from petitions: 679 resulted in wardship probation, 104
were deferred entry of judgement, 102 were non-ward probation, and 34 resulted in informal probation. Of the 679
wardship probationers, 81.3% were placed in a secure county facility, 13.4% were placed in their own/relative's
home, 4.3% in other private facilities, 0.1% were in a non-secure county facility and another 0.1% were in a
different type of public facility, and 0.7% were in a facility described as 'other.'
Arrest Report
A total of 1,779 juvenile arrests were made in San Joaquin County in 2016. Two-thirds of these arrests (67.6%)
were for misdemeanors, followed by felony arrests at 31.8%, and 0.7% were status arrests (The Department does
not accept bookings or process arrest referrals for status offenses. We will evaluate the data to determine the
origin of this anomalous data and correct it in future reports.). Of these arrests, 69.3% were for males and 30.7%
were females. The race/ethnic breakdown of these arrests is as follows: one in three (33.9%) were Black, 31.3%
were Hispanic, over a quarter (26.1%) were White, and 8.8% "other."
Next year the preceding data will be compared with 2017 data. During the course of this reporting year, the San
Joaquin County Probation Department continued its focus on evidence based assessment and programming.
This included the use of the Detention Risk Assessment Instrument (DRAI) and an array of innovative programs.
These programs include Probation Officers on Campus, the Reconnect Day Reporting Center, and the
Community Partnership for Families' (CPFSJ) Neighborhood Service Centers. Historical data from these three
programs have provided unequivocal evidence that they are highly effective. In addition, they have clearly
demonstrated that they have had a positive impact on the lives of young people in San Joaquin County. In
successfully implementing these programs, the Probation Department (in partnership with CPFSJ) has met and/or
exceeded its central programmatic objectives, as originally envisioned in the San Joaquin County Comprehensive
Multiagency Juvenile Justice Plan. The success of these programs in achieving their central objectives leads to
the conclusion that their value cannot be overstated. The costs of juvenile crime in both dollars and the
destruction of young lives are substantial. Probation programs like the three referenced here are especially
relevant in counties like San Joaquin, where the risk factors for young people attributable to poverty and
disadvantage are high. As such, these JJCPA-funded programs have offered the County powerful crime
prevention and intervention tools.

These funds are used to staff and support Juvenile Probation Services in San Luis Obispo County. Youth
included in this service delivery run the continuum from those provided intervention activities through community
diversion programming, to those involved in court activities through intake and investigation services, and those
provided supervision services through a myriad of programming from less intensive non-ward probation
supervision to specialized caseloads addressing targeted issues or interventions. Intervention services include
probation officers attending regionalized multi disciplinary meetings through a Services Affirming Family
Empowerment (SAFE) Model where cases are referred to appropriate community based services in order to
prevent involvement or escalation in the delinquency or dependency systems as well as an officer providing
informal diversion supervision services pursuant to WIC 654. Court related services include probation officers
reviewing new intakes to juvenile hall as well as out of custody referrals to juvenile probation to assess levels of
appropriate intervention and service referrals and conducting thorough court ordered investigations where
needed, including with the supplementation of individualized psychological evaluations performed by licensed
clinicians where needed. Supervision services run the gamut from a non-ward supervision caseload that provides
case management to youth served under WIC 654.2 and 790 in order to prevent their escalation in the Juvenile
Justice System to specialized intensive caseloads that serve wards of the court with intensive needs and/or
significant risk to the community requiring a high level of case management and supervision activities. Intensive
caseloads have a low officer to offender ratio, and are most often supplemented by intensive services such as
Wraparound, Intensive Care Coordination, or In Home Behavioral Services. Electronic Monitoring, also provided
through this funding, is utilized to increase supervision level and accountability as well to provide a graduated
sanction for youth in lieu of formal detention in Juvenile Hall. Common tools and strategies across this continuum
of services includes evidence based risk assessment, through use of the Youth Level of Service - Case
Management Inventory (YLS-CMI) as well as individualized case planning and supervision standards unique to
each youth and their risk/needs. Some of these funds are also used to deliver evidence based interventions by
the Deputy Probation Officer or through an outside service provider which include programs such as Moral
Reconation Training (MRT), Thinking for a Change and Courage to Change Journaling. Deputy Probation Officers
facilitate Journaling on an individualized basis with offenders as well as MRT in a group setting.

Provide a summary description or analysis, based on available information, of how the programs, placements,
services, strategies or system enhancements funded by JJCPA-YOBG have, or may have, contributed to, or
influenced, the juvenile justice data trends identified in this report.
The annual number of delinquency referrals submitted to the Probation Department by law enforcement agencies
has experienced a slight increase over the last three years after a steady decline previously; however, in the same
period, the number of referrals for probation violations and the number of juveniles placed on court-ordered
supervision has continued to decrease. The continuing practice of the Probation Department to assess youth with
a validated tool and divert low risk referrals to community based resources and/or informal probation supervision
has likely contributed to these decreases. The recidivism rate for youth on court-ordered supervision also
experienced a recent decline, from 23.9% in Fiscal Year (FY) 2015-16 to 21.2% in FY 2016-17. Low caseload
sizes with more individualized engagement and case planning as well as the use of evidence informed
interventions such as cognitive behavioral group treatment as well as intensive team based services such as
"Wraparound", have also likely been contributing factors to this trend. Additional JJCPA-YOBG funded strategies
such as Youth In Action, a gang intervention program for at risk youth not in the Juvenile Justice System, and
Electronic Monitoring/GPS programming may also have contributed to less court-ordered supervision cases as
well as less referrals for formal violations of probation respectively.

Provide a summary description or analysis, based on available information, of how the programs, placements,
services, strategies or system enhancements funded by JJCPA-YOBG have, or may have, contributed to, or

San Mateo County Department utilizes the funds received from the Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act
(JJCPA) and the Youth Offender Block Grant (YOBG) to provide a set of interventions, therapeutic, pro-social
engagement along a continuum of services from prevention to more intensive intervention. Desired outcomes
include improved family functioning, increased developmental assets, greater engagement in and connection to
school, improved education outcomes, reduced substance use, decreased involvement, and decrease justice
involvement. In 2016, the total number of felony arrests, (n=262) has declined 5% from 2015 (n=277), and even
more drastically from 2014 by 35% (n=403). The dramatic decrease could be attributed to the steady decline in
juvenile justice involved youth. The department has seen also seen a constant downward decline in average daily
population in the juvenile hall, camps, as well as supervised youth in the community. However violent offenses
have increased by 25 % (n=105) in 2016 from 2015 (n=277); a considerable increase resulting in the need for
more therapeutic, mentoring, and aftercare services. The department anticipates the use of cognitive behavioral
approaches through either contracted services our programs delivered by internal staff help identified youth
challenges thereby provided tools and youth engagement.
The county wide juvenile justice data for San Mateo County indicates a discrepancy with the total number of
informal and diversions filed which indicates zero. This discrepancy does not indicate an accurate or true data set
since the department has a robust Assessment Center that provides referrals to youth with low level offenses or
infractions. Such services are provided through community based organizations for such programs like the Victim
Awareness Program, Petty Theft Program, or an option for victim mediation. The department has provided these
services and has validated youth participation on a quarterly basis. The number of youth served by qualified staff
in the fields of probation, behavioral health services and child family services is approximately 620 youth who
were diverted from the juvenile justice system or placed on informal probation contract whereas 283 youth were
mandatory sends to the District Attorney’s Office for hearing processes. The overall of success rate of the youth
completing a form of diversion without no new law violation is 98%. The department will be investigating the
Juvenile Court & Probation Statistical System to inquire on missing entries so that the data is accurate to internal
data collection.

Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT) is presented by a Senior Juvenile Institution Officer (Sr. JIO) assigned to the
Santa Maria Juvenile Hall (SMJH) YOBG Commitment Program. In addition to providing general custody-based
case management services for all youth in the YOBG commitment program, the YOBG Sr. JIO also facilitates
weekly MRT sessions with these youths. MRT is also provided at the Los Prietos Boys Camp (LPBC). Community-
based MRT groups were also provided at probation-operated alternatives to detention programs before those
programs were discontinued. Probation staff and members of community-based organizations (CBO) continue to
facilitate community MRT groups although on a limited basis. This provides a non-custody group opportunity for
youth who are transitioning out of the SMJH or LPBC. Conversely, youth participating in a community group may
transition into a custody-based group should they be detained at the SMJH or LPBC.

Three (3) Deputy Probation Officers (DPOs) are funded through YOBG and are assigned to supervise caseloads
of high-risk youth meeting internal requirements for supervision, generally those who are older, more
sophisticated, and who have histories of violence or gang involvement. One Probation Assistant (PA) is also
funded through YOBG and provides support to DPOs and Community Transition Officers (CTO) within this
program. A DPO in each of the County's three geographical regions is assigned cases for supervision. Officers
coordinate case management and supervision activities with assigned mentors who work for a local CBO. The
CBO mentors in Santa Maria and Santa Barbara are assigned to the program on a full-time basis and do not have
other responsibilities within their agency. The mentor for the Lompoc region is assigned to the program as a .75
FTE and has other non-related responsibilities as a result. Additionally, three (3) JIOs are funded through YOBG
and serve as CTOs and engage youth while they are at LPBC and as they transition from the LPBC program and
return to their homes. CTOs augment community supervision by assisting with referrals, drug testing, home visits,
and school visits during a 90-day Aftercare period. The use of global positioning satellite (GPS) technology for
enhanced supervision and accountability is also employed. Fifty percent of the Juvenile Probation Manager's
salary is funded through YOBG (25% under this component). The Probation Manager provides oversight and
direction to the three Supervisors overseeing these programs, as well provides contract oversight and monitoring
for the Community Based Organizations (CBO) funded through YOBG. Annually the Probation Manager reviews
and updates the service provider contracts, develops Board Letters for the Board of Supervisors and enforces
said contracts.

The Probation Department contracts with Community Action Commission (CAC) for mentoring services for youth
who are on the YOBG caseloads as well as other appropriate youth as capacity allows. YOBG funds 2.75
mentors. A CAC mentor is assigned to a YOBG caseload in each geographic region. The mentors have regular
contact with the youth assigned to them and they also work closely with the youth's family members. They
coordinate activities with the assigned YOBG Officers and will contact youth in their homes, the community,
school, or in detention facilities. CAC mentors make referrals to other community organizations for academic,
vocational, counseling, and recreational programs. They also organize prosocial group activities that serve as
learning opportunities on a variety of topics. Mentors also work closely with County personnel on independent
living skills development and preparation. Mentors generally work with 20 YOBG youth at any given time.

Senior DPOs conduct juvenile intake assessments with the use of a validated instrument. The Santa Barbara
Assets and Risk Assessment (SBARA) was developed by the University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB).
The use of the SBARA includes a screening version intended to screen out lower risk offenders at the intake
level, as well as the full version for a more comprehensive assessment. Those deemed to not be a higher risk for
recidivism by the screening instrument are handled informally on most occasions. Those that are deemed to be a
higher risk to reoffend are administered the full SBARA and are usually handled formally. The two (2) YOBG
funded Sr. DPOs conducted 197 initial screening assessments and 56 full assessments while other Officers not
funded by YOBG conducted an additional 10 initial assessments and 320 full assessments. The Probation
Department will be reviewing the sustainability of the SBARA instrument and will consider other risk and needs
assessments tools. The SBARA has been a cost-effective tool and has been utilized for many years. The
instrument was developed by a team from UCSB during a funded grant period. Those resources and funding no
longer exist. Fifty percent of the Juvenile Probation Manager's salary is funded through YOBG (15% under this
component). The Probation Manager provides oversight and direction to the three Supervisors overseeing these

A long-term commitment program at the SMJH is operated for youth who meet eligibility and suitability criteria. It
provides an alternative to a commitment to the Department of Juvenile Facilities (DJF) for youth who have
committed violent or serious crimes, may be gang affiliated, and who may have been unsuccessful in other
detention and community interventions. It is composed of three (3) in-custody phases. The youth must meet
required milestones and maintain above average behavior to progress through each phase. The program lasts
between six (6) and 12 months, depending in part on a youth's behavior and participation. Youth receive MRT,
restorative justice, individual mental health and group counseling, mentoring and case management services from
the one Sr.JIO and CAC mentors funded by YOBG, as well as non- YOBG funded individuals. At the completion
of the in-custody portion, youth are released on GPS for a minimum of 75 days and continue to be monitored by
the YOBG funded Sr.JIO. They remain on probation supervision with the DPO assigned to YOBG community
caseloads. The long-term SMJH commitment program will be under review to determine what is working, what
modifications are warranted based upon youth risks, needs, assets, program outcomes, youth and partner
surveys/focus groups, etc. Fifty percent of the Juvenile Probation Manager's salary is funded through YOBG
(10% under this component). The Probation Manager provides oversight of the in-custody program, as well
provides contract oversight and monitoring for the Community Based Organizations (CBO) funded through
YOBG. Annually the Probation Manager reviews and updates the service provider contracts, develops Board

The Probation Department has an agreement with the County Behavioral Wellness Department for two clinicians
to perform mental health assessments and transition services. Presently, 1.5 FTE positions are allocated to
perform mental health assessments on youth referred to them by DPOs. Referrals may be from DPOs performing
court investigations or DPOs supervising youth on probation. Assessments are generally requested to help inform
decision-making for a disposition and provide insight regarding subsequent treatment needs and case
management strategies. These assessments offer a valuable clinical perspective on issues impacting a youth and
a youth's family, and can be targeted in nature to supplement a separate psychological report or to update a
previously prepared report or evaluation.
The clinicians also provide limited liaison and transition services for youth exiting a local detention setting (most
commonly the SMJH). The clinician will work with clinicians at community mental health clinics operated by
County Behavioral Wellness and coordinate care activities for the highest need youth. They will also assist in
establishing services with CBOs who may provide a lower level of mental health care than the clinic setting.
Clinicians also help Probation Department staff problem-solve issues related to mental health services and help
staff navigate the sometimes complex system requirements regarding eligibility, Medi-Cal funding, medication
management protocols, and continuity of care. Presently, YOBG funding supports a 0.5 FTE position for this
activity. In Fiscal Year 2016-2017, clinicians performing these duties completed 30 assessments and provided
transition services for 95 youth.

When implemented, the School-Based Officer (SBO) program intended for DPOs to be assigned to specific area
high schools and some junior high schools. They would work with school administrators and educators, and law
enforcement officers assigned to the school sites, in addressing delinquency and truancy related issues with
students on campuses. DPOs would make contact with probation supervised youth at the schools and engage
other youth as well. The program targeted older, more system-involved youth and combined probation supervision
with JJCPA funded counseling opportunities.
Due to staffing reductions, and other supervision programs (that may limit participants to certain types of
offenders, such as Juvenile Drug Court) it became more difficult to maintain the program as intended. Over time,
DPOs assumed more schools and were assigned cases in various parts of a community or across several
communities. Further, and in more recent years, schools have become less accommodating to probation contacts
with supervised youth during school instructional hours. In some districts, there were also confidentiality concerns
and education record access issues associated with DPOs seeking attendance, performance, and grade
information from schools, and some schools disallowed routine probation contact with supervised youth without
stringent approval processes being met.
Currently, JJCPA funds forty percent of a Supervising Probation Officer (SPO) and a PA, and 4.5 FTE DPO
positions. The SBO program caseloads are more traditionally supervised and cases are assigned to individual
DPOs less by school site and more by caseload capacity and operational considerations. DPOs make contact
with probationers at school sites, but do so less often than at the program’s inception, and less for case
management purposes, and more for specific tasks involving a youth. The Probation Department will be working
to identify other ways in which youth can be supervised more effectively and will consider more contemporary
issues when considering how it might allocate and focus resources. The Department will coordinate with the JJCC
in modifying the focus area for this program component.
The counseling component associated with the program remains unchanged and probation supervised youth are
referred for individual and family counseling for any number of reasons, including substance abuse issues, school
problems, and family conflict. Community-based programs provide clinicians for this purpose. Fifty percent of the
Juvenile Probation Manager's salary is funded by JJCPA (20% under this component). The Probation Manager
provides oversight and direction to the three Supervisors overseeing these programs, as well provides contract
oversight and monitoring for the Community Based Organizations (CBO) funded through YOBG. Annually the
Probation Manager reviews and updates the service provider contracts, develops Board Letters for the Board of
Supervisors and enforces said contracts. Additionally, twenty-five percent of an accountant is also funded.

The Early Intervention Officer program assigns younger, usually first-time offenders to specified caseloads in an
effort to minimize further system involvement and deter them from future delinquency. Older, more sophisticated
youth are assigned to other caseloads. JJCPA funds 2.5 FTE DPO positions and sixty percent of each a SPO and
a PA. Youth assigned to the Early Intervention program often have less serious offenses, and the intent of the
program is to exit them from probation supervision sooner than what might otherwise be the case. The program
currently maintains its original intent and focus on younger offenders. However, because of decreased resources
over the years since implementation, caseload sizes are more difficult to maintain at lower levels, and DPOs may
be assigned other cases in addition to those intended as early intervention cases.
The Probation Department intends to maintain the Early Intervention program model, but will be considering the
inclusion of other early interventions to bolster the program’s purpose and effectiveness, including any evidence-
based approaches intended for a juvenile justice population. The Department does not intend to modify the
program further in the coming fiscal year.
The counseling component associated with the program remains unchanged and probation supervised youth are
referred for individual and family counseling for any number of reasons. Community-based programs provide
clinicians for this purpose. Fifty percent of the Juvenile Probation Manager's salary is funded through JJCPA (30%

The Probation Department has agreements with local CBOs to provide individual counseling to juvenile offenders
referred to them by DPOs. Referrals to providers can be for any number of reasons and may include interventions
targeting substance abuse, exposure to family or community violence, trauma, relationships with parents, gang
involvement, and less severe mental health needs. Currently, the Probation Department utilizes the services of
Family Service Agency (FSA) for youth in the Santa Maria and Lompoc areas, and the Council for Alcoholism and
Drug Abuse (CADA) for youth in the Santa Barbara area. Each CBO provides a full-time therapist or the
equivalent of one full-time therapist for these services. Historically, referrals to these services were made
exclusively by the DPOs in the Early Intervention and SBO caseloads as the services were developed having
those offender subsets in mind. However, services are not limited to youth on those caseloads presently and are
instead available to any supervised juvenile offender as the majority of supervised youth are considered high risk.
(Juvenile resources since the inception of the JJCPA programs have decreased and this has impacted the ability
to maintain specialty caseloads and services, among other factors.) These services are widely used presently and
there is often a waiting list for them. The agreements in place with FSA and CADA allow for approximately 80
youth to be served in this activity over the course of a year. This includes up to 12 individual sessions per youth
for each referral (as a youth may be re-referred, if needed). If requested, CBOs can tailor interventions to include
parents or other family members as well.
Activities supported by JJCPA funding have been maintained to the extent that they can be supported by the
Probation Department's annual State allocation and other funding sources, such as Federal Title IV-E
reimbursement for specified services. Thus, counseling services have not been expanded and generally have
included original service levels. As a result, there are periodically more referrals than can be readily
accommodated and referred youth have to wait for openings.

Santa Barbara: Data Trend Analysis
ANALYSIS OF COUNTYWIDE TREND DATA for: Santa Barbara
Government Code Section 30061(b)(4)(C)(iv) & WIC Section 1961(c)(3)
Provide a summary description or analysis, based on available information, of how the programs, placements,
services, strategies or system enhancements funded by JJCPA-YOBG have, or may have, contributed to, or
influenced, the juvenile justice data trends identified in this report.
Positions and services funded by YOBG and JJCPA account for the vast majority of all positions and services
provided for and to juvenile offenders. Supervision strategies, assessment activities, some detention
programming and Camp aftercare services, and counseling programs that seek to effect positive outcomes for
youth are largely funded through YOBG and JJCPA. As such, overall trends and trends for YOBG and JJCPA are
largely one and the same, with some exception. Notably, YOBG and JJCPA fund limited aspects of custody
related operations and programs, and do not support any activities related to foster care.
YOBG funds do support initial screening and assessment of offenders. Officers who perform Intake functions
administer a risk assessment and an initial screener assessment. Through these assessments, many referrals
from law enforcement are handled informally. Only those who represent the greatest risk are evaluated further
and may be handled formally through the Juvenile Court. Assessment and screening play critical roles in
identifying high-risk youth and controlling the flow of referrals in a measured and empirically based way. The
number of youth involved in the local juvenile justice system for misdemeanor offenses suggests that broader
diversion options may be useful in minimizing how often misdemeanor cases need to be disposed of formally.
YOBG and JJCPA provide funds for several supervision positions and efforts, including those that seek to
address delinquency with younger, first time offenders and those that provide close supervision and mentorship to
older, gang-involved youth. In both cases, funding supports efforts to prevent escalation in the juvenile justice
system and, as intended, prevent commitment to the Division of Juvenile Justice Facilities (DJJ) for the most
serious cases. In recent years, the number of youth being committed to the DJJ has slowed. Presently, just four
youth from Santa Barbara County remain detained at DJJ facilities, due in some part to local supervision
strategies and programs. Additionally, the use of YOBG funds for limited custody programming allows for the use
of local detention to further negate the need for State level commitments.
Counseling services, mentorship, and mental health assessments are also supported by YOBG and JJCPA
funds, and allow for the use of local resources to meet the various needs of juvenile offenders. Further, mental
health assessments provide timely insight into issues affecting youth, and help guide decision-making for
dispositions and treatment plans. Mentors funded through YOBG assist more serious offenders in obtaining
employment or vocational training, complete education goals, address family dynamics, and participate in
prosocial activities. These services and interventions, including Moral Reconation Therapy, support supervision
strategies and offer opportunities for youth and family to address factors that may be contribute to delinquency.
The Juvenile Division is in the process of reviewing its operational practices, supervision strategies, and programs
to determine where modifications may be made to increase effectiveness, promote efficiency, streamline
operations, and address contemporary challenges. Recent focus on the impacts of commercial sexual
exploitation of youth and efforts to mitigate racial and ethnic disparities in the juvenile justice system are examples
of areas where the Probation Department is actively working to impact juvenile delinquency and system
involvement. As YOBG and JJCPA funded positions, services, and programs permeate all areas of the division,
such adjustments in these areas may have longer term impacts on juvenile justice trends.

JJCPA funds were utilized for the Multi-Agency Assessment Center (MAAC). MAAC provided educational,
substance abuse, and mental health assessments, referral services, and case and transition plans for youth held
in Juvenile Hall for over 72 hours. Youth received mental health, educational, and medical screening
assessments. The assessment information was used to develop individual case plans for each youth, in that the
assessment results helped to inform and assist staff in identifying the appropriate support services for youth while
in custody. JJCPA funds paid for 2.0 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) Senior Group Counselors, 1.0 FTE Supervising
Group Counselor, and 2 FTE Justice System Clerks. JJCPA funds were also used to contract with Community-
based organizations (CBOs) to provide workshops and one-on-one counseling in the units of Juvenile Hall and
make every effort to connect with the youth so that when the youth returns to his/her family and community, they
can continue accessing services. For FY16, the MAAC program served 471 unduplicated youth, youth spent an
average of six weeks in the program, and youth who arrived in MAAC tended to score moderate to high on their
JAIS at program entry. Unfortunately, the MAAC program could not be evaluated for its recidivism rate due to its
shorter expected impact period.
Additionally, YOBG funds were budgeted for a General Maintenance Mechanic who provided immediate and
needed repairs at Juvenile Hall and/or the Ranch to ensure adequate conditions of confinement for incarcerated
youth. YOBG funds pay for 1.0 General Maintenance Mechanic and services and supplies to support the
program.

The Violence Reduction Program is supported by funds from JJCPA and YOBG and provides comprehensive
services in the community to address prevention, early intervention, intervention, and intensive intervention youth
through a community safety strategy. Prevention services emphasize the prevention of entry into the juvenile
justice system and/or further penetration into the juvenile justice system, which includes healthy teen relationship
workshops in the community and at schools, victim awareness and advocacy services, and the provision of
prosocial activities to ensure youth are engaged in constructive activities. JJCPA funds paid for 1.0 Full Time
Equivalent (FTE) Justice System Clerk, 11.0 FTE Deputy Probation Officers, 1.0 FTE Probation Community
Worker, and 1.0 FTE Community Worker focused on victim awareness and advocacy. Additionally, JJCPA funds
were utilized to contract with several community-based organizations (CBOs) to perform the early Intervention and
Intervention services, which included informal monitoring of early offenders, cognitive behavioral treatment,
competency development, mentoring, case management, vocational and educational services, parenting
education and more. Intensive Supervision services were contracted to several CBOs and were designated for
youth on formal probation with a higher level of need than youth receiving services in Intervention. Intensive
intervention supported by the JJCPA includes reentry wraparound, and gang resistance and intervention services.
Both the intervention and intensive intervention level of services include comprehensive services in the
community, such as behavioral health services, prosocial activities, parenting support and supportive case
management. Additionally, many youths have access to mentoring services.
In FY17, the SCC Probation Department utilized YOBG funds to provide intense supervision of gang youth in the
community and school based supervision. Youthful offenders also received rehabilitative services. In conjunction
with the intensive supervision provided by Deputy Probation Officers, youth also received behavioral health
treatment services and vocational/educational services via a community based organization. Probation utilized
DPOs in schools to further meet the needs of high risk youth in the community. The strategy continues to have
school-based DPOs at school sites with a large number of probation youth enrolled and identified needs in the

Santa Clara: Data Trend Analysis
ANALYSIS OF COUNTYWIDE TREND DATA for: Santa Clara
Government Code Section 30061(b)(4)(C)(iv) & WIC Section 1961(c)(3)
Provide a summary description or analysis, based on available information, of how the programs, placements,
services, strategies or system enhancements funded by JJCPA-YOBG have, or may have, contributed to, or
influenced, the juvenile justice data trends identified in this report.
The Probation Juvenile Services Division has developed a long-term plan to reduce crime committed by youth in
the community. This plan is called the Violence Reduction Program (VRP) framework. The VRP model consists of
four key program strategies, which include Prevention, Early Intervention, Intervention, and Intensive Intervention.
The programs work with youth who are already involved, as well as those who are at risk of being involved in the
juvenile justice system. In addition to the VRP framework, the Department also runs several programs involving
secure care under their Juvenile Institutions Division, the Multi-Agency Assignment Center (MAAC). Each key
program strategy has a contractor(s) that provide services to Probation youth through Santa Clara County, as well
as staff that support and monitor supervision of youth involved with the juvenile justice system.
Applied Survey Research (ASR) assists Probation in completing the annual comprehensive report of JJCPA
activities and outcomes for approval by the Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council (JJCC). As part of this
evaluation/report, ASR provides Probation with several recommendations of how to improve different programs
within the VRP model. For example, ASR recommended that the services within VRP include cultural relevant
support and programming. In response to this recommendation, Probation has worked with the National
Compadres Network (NCN) to educate Probation staff and our community based organizations and service
providers on evidence-informed practices that allow services to focus on cultural healing and be trauma-informed.
Additionally, ASR recommended that the Probation Department continue utilizing and strengthening the use of the
JAIS as a risk assessment tool. The JAIS is utilized for all youth adjudicated by the court, and the information
from the assessment indicates youth are being matched to an appropriate level of services and supports.
Arrest, admission and petition numbers have all continued to decrease since 2012. During that period there has
also been a decrease in out of home placements for youth. The following brief examples highlight how JJCPA
funding has been used in Santa Clara County's efforts to reduce crime and delinquency among its youth
population.
The Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI) program targets early offenders with the goal of preventing further
penetration into the Juvenile Justice System, or re-offending. As part of the overall diversionary efforts within
Santa Clara County, 168 cases were also diverted to the Direct Referral Program (DRP) for counseling services
and were not recorded as an official arrest during 2016. In total, 38 percent of all arrests/citations (1,300 cases) in
2016 were lower level offenses or first-time offenders handled through diversionary programs. Evaluation results
from fiscal year 2016 found that rates for recidivism were low for Prevention and Early Intervention youth, with
only two percent of all PEI youth having a recidivism event resulting in a sustained petition between program exit
and the end of the fiscal year.
Targeted efforts have also been made to improve Deferred Entry of Judgment (DEJ) results within the county. A
review of success rates revealed that Black and Latino youth consistently had lower DEJ success rates than
White youth. An analysis of two years of data uncovered that Black youth success rates averaged 35 percent, the
lowest success rate of all youth in the program. As a result, it was determined that a culturally-specific intervention
was needed for Black youth and a pilot was initiated to provide enhanced mentoring and case management
services for Black youth on DEJ, called the Court Appointed Friend and Advocate Program (CAFA) in 2015 and
2016. The CAFA program included a court advocacy and support aspect like the Court Appointed Special
Advocates (CASA) in the dependency court. Outcomes for all CAFA youth were tracked with an intended
outcome of decreasing unsuccessful DEJ terminations. In 2016 all Black youth on DEJ were referred to the CAFA
program. While the number of participants was low, only 11 youth, every Black youth exited DEJ successfully and
had their felony cases dismissed, compared to only 60 percent of the ten participants in 2015.

The Probation Officers assigned to the intake unit make initial contact with all youth and families who have new
cases referred to the Probation Department, both in and out of custody. In Fiscal Year 2016-17, a total of 945
arrest referrals were made to the department. This number is also consistent with trends in juvenile justice as the
previous year there were 1090 arrest referrals. For youth booked into the juvenile hall, the Intake Officers use a
Detention Risk Assessment Instrument (RAI) to determine whether the youth can safely be released pending a
court hearing or intake interview, or whether they must be detained in juvenile hall pending court. The officer may
also forward the case to the District Attorney to file a petition. Other responses include informal behavioral
contracts, referrals to counseling, assignment of volunteer service hours, referrals to Teen Peer Court,
educational classes and Neighborhood Accountability Boards or admonishment/dismissal. Sex offenses receive
assessment and recommendations.

YOBG funds supported partial costs associated with the Santa Cruz Probation - Luna Evening Center program.
The Evening Center is a short term, immediate intervention and detention alternative program for pre and post
adjudicated youth. Services are provided to youth who are struggling to meet their terms of probation and/or
committing new offenses. In Fiscal Year 2016-17, the Luna Evening Center served 61unique youth for a total of
164 episodes with an average of 7 days each episode. JJCPA funds are used for an on-call staff at the Evening
Center to assist in supervision, transportation and daily programming. JJCPA partially funds a community based
agency to provide job training and mentorship workshops one day each week and also supervise youth
participating in park restoration projects throughout the county on Saturdays. This program provides a service
that allows youth to contribute back to their community. One major accomplishment over the reporting period is
that we have hired one full time staff who has worked part-time for the department for years. He has great
experience with the LEC and has done a great job getting additional programs to come to the EC and has also
had a great deal of success in getting the youth employed or at least job ready to be more successful interviewing
and going through the hiring process. As for barriers, we had previously reported challenges with maintaining
consistent staffing and now we have moved past that issue for the time being and everyone appears to be
benefitting from a steady, reliable staff person assigned to the LEC.

YOBG funds were utilized to fund a portion of one (1) probation officer who travels visiting youth placed in out of
county, out of state residential foster care and ranch camp programs. Typically out of state foster care and ranch
camp placements are used as an alternative to a DJJ commitment for youth who are ineligible. In Fiscal Year
2016-17, Santa Cruz placed twenty-four (24) youth in out of state/out of county foster care, six (6) youth in ranch
camp and three (3) youth in DJJ. YOBG funds paid for partial travel costs of parent/guardians to attend required
family meetings of youth placed in out of state programs and ranch camp placements. Funding will also help pay
for some medical costs such as dental care, eye care and/or medications. During the reporting period, the state
enacted the Continuum of Care Reform (CCR) and as a result our department has been tasked with looking for
out of home placement alternatives that are local if possible and shorter in length than previous traditional
placements in congregate care. The impact of this reform is not fully known at this time but it has required our
department and staff look at placement options in a different light and focus as much as possible on trying to find
relatives and other natural supports who may be able to provide a home for the youth. Additionally, our
department has begun a more proactive approach to prevent out of home placement if possible by facilitating
Child and Family Team (CFT) meetings to ensure family engagement and to provide the youth and their families a
distinct voice in the outcome of their case and at an earlier stage in the process.

Alternative to Detention (ATD) staff and Probation Officers provide community based supervision adhering to the
prescripts of Risk Based Supervision. Youth are assigned to ATD staff and Probation Officers based on risk level
assignments of low, moderate and high. For these youth, a thorough risk and needs assessment was conducted
prior to disposition, or within 30 days following their disposition to identify their strengths and top presenting needs
along with a supervision strategy type. This assessment assists the officer to make more informed referrals for
appropriate interventions for youth. The probation officer may provide referrals for youth to programs such as drug
education, teen parent mediation, community service, weekend restoration program or aggression replacement
training sessions. The probation officer may refer parents to classes that address improving parenting skills that
are culturally appropriate. The numbers of youth served in the past year dropped considerably and was
consistent with trends across juvenile justice. In Fiscal Year 2015-16, the ATD staff provided services to 115
youth who were placed on home supervision. In Fiscal Year 2016-17, the number of youth ATD staff provided
services to on home supervision was 54. Funds paid for a portion of one (1) FTE probation officer and a small
portion of flexible funds that were accessible to assist youth with access to pro-social activities, driver’s license
fees or work clothing, etc.

The CAP goal is to increase local responses to juvenile delinquency and creative interventions that increase
competencies among at-risk youth involved or at imminent risk to be involved in the justice system. JJCPA
provides geographically based probation services in three target areas for first time and early offenders who
qualify for diversion and informal interventions. The CAP provides risk based supervision strategies for youth on
formal probation who reside in the program areas of San Lorenzo Valley, Live Oak and Watsonville. The program
relies on the close partnership with law enforcement agencies, community resource centers, and community
organizations providing services in the three distinct county locations. Services are built upon the Santa Cruz
County Probation Department’s Balanced and Restorative practice as well as the use of risk-based assessments
that identify principle service needs based on assessed risk and protective factors. Additionally, Probation
Officers in partnership with youth advocates who work at the Mountain Community and Live Oak resource
centers, ensure youth meet their conditions of probation by creating linkages for them to competency building
services. Community involvement in pre-adjudicated cases includes a Victim Offender Dialogue Program and
Neighborhood Accountability Boards in each area. For youth whose offenses have harmed the school
community, referrals are made to Teen Peer Court. Offender competency includes utilization of evidence-based
programs such as: Aggression Replacement Training (A.R.T), a cognitive behavior self change model; drug
treatment interventions utilizing motivational enhancement and cognitive behavioral therapy which are family
focused interventions for both pre adjudicated and post adjudicated youth. Victim reparation and restitution
payment are a program focus. Risk based supervision with services from the community centers is applied to
small caseloads in each of the three community locations. Community work service projects, job mentorship and
job placement services are provided on an individualized basis. It is worth noting that the Neighborhood
Accountability Boards were not utilized the past year as much as they were in previous years and this is a trend
that will likely result in resources tied to the Boards to be reallocated to other programming that seems to have
more impact on the community.

The Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) Supervisor focused on inter-rater reliability practices related to
probation officers utilizing the JAIS and EPICS with youth they supervise. This Supervisor monitors outcomes and
utilization data reports of assessments and risk levels generated by probation officers. The department is
focusing on youth with a moderate and high level of risk and identifying appropriate interventions to meet their
identified needs and strengths. The utilization of the JAIS supports the role and responsibilities of the probation
officer as an “agent of change”, who encourages pro-social behaviors and improves decision-making skills;
enhances youth motivation through motivational interviewing skills; engage in practices consistent with risk, needs
and responsivity principles (RNR); and consistently utilizes EPICS (Effective Practices in Community Supervision)
through the use of a structured dialogue with youth. Funds paid for 48% FTE of a probation supervisor who will be
monitoring utilization data of the JAIS assessment system and a power user and coach. This supervisor is also
an identified coach for Effective Practices in Community Supervision (EPICS). reallocated to other programming

Santa Cruz: Data Trend Analysis
ANALYSIS OF COUNTYWIDE TREND DATA for: Santa Cruz
Government Code Section 30061(b)(4)(C)(iv) & WIC 1961(c)(3)
Provide a summary description or analysis, based on available information, of how the programs, placements,
services, strategies or system enhancements funded by JJCPA-YOBG have, or may have, contributed to, or
influenced, the juvenile justice data trends identified in this report.
The trends that are indicated in the previous pages of data suggest that the numbers are down across the board.
Specifically, in 2015, the number of diversion referrals was 327, in 2016, that number dropped to 178 or a 46
percent reduction. A similar statistic could be seen with the number of petitions filed in the county. In 2015, there
were 463 petitions filed. In 2016, there were 348 filed petitions for a reduction of nearly 25 percent. The
reasons for this continuation of lower numbers may well be attributed to efforts by staff and stakeholders in the
community to utilize evidenced based detention assessment tools, referring cases to community stakeholders for
diversion type programming and providing detailed detention reports to the court to allow the court to make
informed decisions around the time of intake. There are also a number of efforts underway in the community that
are shifting the way our system views trauma and the impact of trauma on the youth who are being contacted by
law enforcement, facing challenges in school and dealing with peer pressure. One of the programs that is shifting
its approach in working with youth and their parents is the Luna Evening Center (LEC) program. Staff who work
at LEC and stakeholders who provide programming at LEC are being trained in Trauma Informed Systems (TIS)
change and building a skill set that will transfer to the youth who attend the program.

WRAPAROUND INTERAGENCY NETWORK FOR GROWTH & STABILITY (WINGS) FOR EMOTIONALLY
DISTURBED MINORS
Goal – Wraparound philosophy promotes supporting family strengths and community involvement. This program
creates a strengths-based, family-focused case plan with a team of professional staff, family and others all
focused on providing services, assistance and care toward the ultimate program goal. Individualized programs
work towards reducing recidivism, minimizing the need for high level placements, and improving the family’s
ability to effectively cope with the minor’s mental health issues. Family Maintenance efforts are primary. The case
plan is geared towards reducing recidivism and preventing out of home placement.
The process of engaging the family, convening the team, developing the treatment plan goals, implementing the
plan, and transitioning the youth out of formal wraparound is managed by Probation as the lead agency. The lead
agency responsible for implementing the wraparound process for families supports implementation in several key
ways, including maintaining appropriately low caseload sizes; ensuring that primary staff receive comprehensive
training and skill development; supporting wraparound team efforts to ensure necessary members attend
meetings and participate collaboratively; and making timely decisions regarding funding for strategies developed
by the team to meet families’ unique needs.
Fiscal strategies, including providing funds to break down barriers to success, have been developed to support
the wraparound effort and to better meet the needs of families. These funds are utilized for necessary basics such
as food, clothing and acquiring shelter, as well as for privileges, rewards, incentives and other items and services
that reinforce family members’ needs, goals, and likelihood of success.

Funds were used to pay approximately 10% of juvenile Rehabilitation Facility staffing costs.
Juveniles are provided routine, standard housing and treatment while detained in the Juvenile Rehabilitation
Facility. The amount of beds available are limited to 40 due to budget constraints. Intake staff use the Detention
Risk Assessment Instrument (DRAI) as a guide to determine whether to detain or release referred youth. The
Positive Achievement Change Tool (PACT) is also used by staff to assess risk and needs of all referred youth.
Staff focus on providing education, recreation, health, counseling, and other intervention services. Highly
structured and supervised group activities are provided, such as recreational therapy activities, specialized
socialization, life skills, and cognitive behavioral education.
We ensure new hires receive all the state mandated and department required trainings. We are providing
evidence-based treatment programs targeted to youth's criminogenic needs, both in & out of custody for a
continuum of care. Treatments include Moral Reconation Therapy; Project Towards no Drugs; Girls Circle; Boys'
Council; and Aggression Replacement Training. We provide regular pro-social activities for youth in custody.

Shasta: Data Trend Analysis
ANALYSIS OF COUNTYWIDE TREND DATA for: Shasta
Government Code Section 30061(b)(4)(C)(iv) & WIC 1961(c)(3)
Provide a summary description or analysis, based on available information, of how the programs, placements,
services, strategies or system enhancements funded by JJCPA-YOBG have, or may have, contributed to, or
influenced, the juvenile justice data trends identified in this report.
Data in the JCPSS program for Shasta County data is not reflective of actual trends experienced in the county as
there have been some challenges in the data transmission from our case management system to the DOJ
system for many years. While a significant amount of time has been spent on attempts to correct the data and
progress has been made, efforts continue to locate the source of the discrepancies. We will be working on a
solution, which will include cross referencing data and possible hand entry, with the goal of accurate data by 2018.
As a result, a trend analysis using this data wouldn't be accurate or helpful. Although this data source is not
reliable at this point, the county has several other data options that are able to be used.
One of the data sources available is data outcomes related specifically to programs funded through JJCPA and
YOBG. For programs that target populations with specific needs (Wraparound Interagency Network for Growth
and Stability - WINGS and Juveniles That Have Offended Sexually - JTHOS) the amount of juveniles who
complete these programs successfully and reenter the criminal justice system within three years is approximately
7%. The WINGS program has served to keep participants out of placement for extended periods of time. In
many cases, the participant avoided placement altogether. We have seen significant decreases to out of home
placements as a result of collaborative efforts. As the number of law enforcement referrals have dropped, so have
the referrals to the other programs (Juvenile Detention Alternatives Program - JDAP, Parent Project, and
Diversion). The percentage of participants who have successfully completed these programs has remained
consistent even as the total number of participants has dropped.
In addition to data related to specific programs, Shasta County has developed a logic model for both the Juvenile
Division as well as the Juvenile Rehabilitation Facility (JRF) to begin to get some trends among the entire
population. Over the years, our juvenile population’s top criminogenic needs continue to be leisure/recreation,
criminal associates and substance abuse. Youth have continued to participate in our juvenile work program and
there has been an increase in successful completions over the last 3 years. For fiscal year 2016/17 the
completion rate was 87.25%. GED and educational graduation continues to be a priority for our youth and for
fiscal year 2016/17 the rate was 17.74% which is a 13.4% increase from 2014/15. Our youth have been
successful in obtaining employment and for the last two years about 20% of our population have held a job which
is an improvement from prior years. We have seen a steady decline in the number of probation violations and our
recidivism rate hovers between 25-30%. Our department is able to serve our youth locally and camp
commitments have decreased over the years from as many as 10 youth to 1 to none. Within our facility we have
strived to reduce the number of use of force incidents and citations/special incidents. We have been successful in
reducing our use of force incidents by 3.6% and our citations/special incidents by 5.1% over 3 years. These
decreases are significant for the safety and security of our facility and the improved environment and
treatment/programming services for our youth.

YOBG funds are an important part of our budget. These funds allow us to pay for a juvenile probation officer.
Having a juvenile probation officer on staff allows our Department to quickly respond to juvenile matters when
they arise.
It also allows our Department to be active in school truancy prevention programs.
The funds from this grant pay for 100% salary and benefits for our juvenile probation officer, plus a small portion
of the Chief Probation Officer's salary.

Siskiyou Probation continues to contract with Heal Therapy, a private Community Based Organization (CBO) for
up to 40 hours of weekly counseling services by licensed clinician(s). YOBG partially funds the salaries of two
licensed therapists. A licensed drug and alcohol counselor is also utilized on a limited basis for individualized
intensive substance abuse interventions. The youth served include those who are in or out of custody, youth
transitioning into or out of placement, services for pre-wardship cases, and all levels of 602 wardship cases.
Therapists provide crisis counseling/emergency interventions, individual intensive counseling, family counseling /
reunification, drug and alcohol counseling, and counseling for youth presenting significant mental health needs.
The clinician(s) also facilitated/co-facilitated cognitive behavioral / evidence based programs(EBP) with juvenile
corrections officers and probation officers. The groups include "Thinking for Good", "Coping With Anger", and
Escaping Your Prison" through the Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT) format. Change Company Interactive
Journals are also utilized. The clinicians engage the youth in Equine Therapy (horses brought into the juvenile hall
yard and to a horse ring at the probation office property). The clinicians also work with select informal cases that
are assessed for elevated interventions in order to prevent the need for formal wardship.
The consistent presence and availability of Heal Therapists working with probation to address identified
criminogenic needs of youth in and out of custody, has allowed multiple youth to avoid group home placement or
DJJ commitments. Because services are available, youth stay local, build long term rapport with therapists, and
can continue to work in counseling face to face with their families/relatives or non-relative guardians. Many youth
and families report they like working with the horses and therapists report a significant increase in their ability to
provide meaningful therapeutic interventions.
Barriers to success continue to include transportation issues, scheduling conflicts, substance abuse, and parents
who fail to prioritize counseling. Families that may have benefitted either failed to show for counseling or had work
schedules that conflicted with available times for Equine Therapy and other counseling. Other barriers include
lack of convenient classroom space for community based cognitive behavioral groups and lack of confidential
office space for therapists.

Culinary Arts classes continue to be taught in juvenile hall primarily for those youth who are wards of the court and
ordered to complete a custody program. YOBG funds paid for the certified culinary instructor, food, curriculum,
tools, associated supplies, and ServSafe Education/Certificates. The courses include multi-course meal
preparation, menu planning, study of multi-cultural foods, dessert creations, nutritional guidelines, and food safety.
Two different curriculums are completed (ProStart 2 and Instructor Developed Lesson Plans) and pre and post
examinations were given to the youth. The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) has
published articles on culinary arts programs for At-Risk Youth demonstrating indicia of effectiveness. The youth
learn to identify career and job opportunities in the culinary field and how to budget for and make their own meals
at home. These benefits are viewed as a protective factors because employability and self sufficiency can help
reduce recidivism.
Accomplishments include skills displayed in community settings. One youth attended his Independent Living
Program (ILP) class in the community after completing Culinary Arts, and the theme for the class centered on
cooking skills. The youth proceeded to amaze the ILP class and instructor with his culinary skills. We also have
an annual "Cupcake Contest" where the youth design and create cupcakes from scratch with their own unique
recipes and choose a decoration theme for presentation. The youth have created cupcakes that tasted good,
looked good, and the contest are very close. The youth all felt proud of their creations and learned a valuable skill
set that is truly useful in their lives.

The majority of our Juvenile Corrections Officers assigned to juvenile hall attended two trainings: 1.
UNDERSTANDING MENTAL HEALTH IN CORRECTIONS and 2. CRISIS INTERVENTION. These trainings
enhanced their knowledge base regarding recognition of mental health issues and associated trauma youth may
be suffering from. With the foundation of understanding mental health issues, staff also received crisis
intervention training in order to effectively deal with youth in crisis. Staff have enhanced their ability to recognize
that often youth are acting out due to trauma and staff can coordinate mental health interventions rather than
simply suppress a behavior through consequences or placing a youth in their room. Clearly a best practice, and
along with the advent of legislation designed to reduce isolation of youth in custody, awareness of mental health
issues and timely mental health therapeutic intervention, has and continues to reduce escalation of aggressive
behaviors in our juvenile hall and the incidence of placing youth in their rooms is significantly less than in years
past.
For example, power struggles between staff and youth are rare and major incidents that may have been related to
trauma that used to result in 24 to 72 hours of room confinement in years past, are now handled with the goal of
counseling the youth continually and working to get them back into programming at the first safe opportunity
under four hours. Most consequences for rule violations result in less than an hour of room rest. Incidents
overall are down and staff have the mindset to return youth to programming as soon as safely possible, rather
than some previously predetermined time. Even in the face of a major incident, we have had staff ready to work
with youth within hours, rather than enforcing multiple days of room time after an incident. We had one veteran
staff who was bitten by a youth, but was able to work with that youth the next day and help the youth get back on
track quickly. The youth in question was held reasonably accountable, but learned to trust staff, and eventually
had his wardship terminated successfully and his record is now sealed.

A professional artist was contracted to come into juvenile hall and teach youth art skills. Food was purchased for
the class. Youth displayed their art and clearly enjoyed the classes. Many youth who struggle in school and
struggle to express themselves were able to engage with the instructor and produce amazing art work. Their
enthusiasm and investment in their work allowed them to reduce the anxiety and stress that often comes with
being in custody. This in turn gives the youth something to look forward to and have a sense of accomplishment.
The process allows staff to engage youth and provide encouragement and support for youth efforts. It allows the
department to achieve goals to provide meaningful programs for the youth that enhance their ability to express
themselves in a positive and pro social manner.

Our Siskiyou County Health and Human Services Agency Behavioral Health Department provides a certified
alcohol and drug counselor to conduct an ALCOHOL AND OTHER DRUG (AOD) counseling group for in custody
youth once a week as well as an aftercare group in the community upon release or outside referral. The group
allows the counselor to build rapport with youth in custody and allows youth to continue seeing the same
counselor upon release into the community. The counselor attends a weekly treatment team meeting to keep
probation staff informed on youth progress and investment in the classes.

To support best practices in supervision of youth in custody and officer safety in custody and the filed, multiple
probation officers (DPOs) and juvenile correctional officers(JCOs) attended related trainings ($1,589) with
associated travel expenses ($2,681). JCOs attended a training called "Reducing Isolation Time of Disruptive
Juveniles" with the goal of reducing power struggles, reducing hands on events, and returning in custody youth to
activities that will assist them in custody and upon release in order to reduce recidivism and reduce the need for
any isolation in a custody setting. A probation officer attended "Force and Weaponry" training to properly handle
firearms, and several officers attended "Ultimate Leader" and "Bulletproof Mind" trainings to assist officers in
maintaining good decision making skills under pressure to enhance the safety of the officer and youth. The goal
for the trainings is to be able to navigate the stressful nature of probation and juvenile hall work in a responsible
fashion, to stay safe while carrying out the mandates or probation work, and remain focused and show leadership
regarding the utilization of best practices for best outcomes for the youth.

ANALYSIS OF COUNTYWIDE TREND DATA for: Siskiyou
Government Code Section 30061(b)(4)(C)(iv) & WIC Section 1961(c)(3)
Provide a summary description or analysis, based on available information, of how the programs, placements,
services, strategies or system enhancements funded by JJCPA-YOBG have, or may have, contributed to, or
influenced, the juvenile justice data trends identified in this report.
Year to year arrest data from 2015 to 2016 shows the following: A.. Felony arrests are up from 13 to 15. B.
Violent offense arrests are up from 3 to 6. C. Property offense arrests are down from 9 to 5. D. Drug offense
arrests are up from 0 to 1. E. Sex offense arrests stayed the same at 1 and 1. F. Misdemeanor arrests stayed
steady at 64 and 64. The 5 year trend from the rate in 2012 to 2016 is as follows: A.. Felony cases are down
from 37 to 15. B. Violent offense arrests are up from 5 to 6. C. Property arrests are down from 19 to 5. D. Drug
offense arrests are down from 3 to 1. E. Sex offenses went up from 0 and 1. F. Misdemeanor offenses went
down from 86 to 64. With small county rural populations, statistics can skew easily when the numbers are small.
For example, from 2015 to 2016 violent offenses have increased by 50%, but is a rise in 3 cases from the year
does not represent a trend. The 5 year trend shows a very slight increase, but it is not statistically relevant.
Violent offenses, drug offenses and sex offenses have not shown any clear trends and the overall numbers
remain low. The numbers that do show clear trends are clearly present in the felony offense, property offense
and misdemeanor offense categories. Felony offenses have dropped significantly from 37 cases in 2012 to 15 in
2016. Property offenses have dropped from 19 to 5 and misdemeanors have shown a significant drop from 86 to
64. Siskiyou county appears to be similar to most counties in California in that the 5 year trend shows juvenile
crime overall has been going down and thus supervision caseloads have dropped significantly. With slight year to
year upticks from 2015 to 2016, the arrest rates may have reached a low mark and may move within a few
percentages points up or down in the coming years. One positive trend is the average length of stay in custody
from 2012 to 2016 which dropped from 40 days to 19 days. Our youth received over 1,600 hours of therapeutic
programs in 2015 and over 1,300 hours in 2016. The combination of the use of evidenced based assessment
tools (DRAI / PACT) to divert youth from custody, and if they have to be in custody, the services provided by our
YOBG funded Heal Therapists, Behavioral Health substance abuse counselors and other partners working with
our youth in custody and aftercare in the community appears to be a major factor in reducing the need for youth to
serve long term custody commitments. One negative trend to pay attention to is the increase in arrests and
supervision of youth who have Native American ancestry. In 2012 they made up 16% of the bookings which
appeared to be the average from 2008 to 2012, and by 2016 the percentage was 24% of bookings. The
department works closely with the local Karuk and Quartz Valley tribes and attempts to divert Native youth to
specific Native programs whenever possible. The department notifies the identified Tribe(s) when mandated by
ICWA statute and department policy states we are to encourage and invite the youth and parent/guardian to invite
their Tribe even if ICWA statute does not require it. We have Tribe representatives working with the youth in
juvenile hall and at their community based resource centers. Hopefully this will start to bring the trend down in the
years to come.

YOBG funding supported direct placement costs of high risk youth who required specific residential intervention.
These placements provided an alternative placement for youth whose delinquent behaviors were escalating.
These youths committed serious offenses and posed a continued threat to the community. Providing these
services was geared to reduce the likelihood that the youth would be placed at the Division of Juvenile Facilities
(DJF) in the future. Specialized intervention services included educational and vocational components (cognitive
based programming) with the goals of reducing length of stay and helping the youth obtain the skills needed to
ultimately transition successfully from the juvenile justice system.

YOBG and JJCPA funding has been used to support the contract of a community based treatment provider
(Aldea Childrens Services) that provided individual, group, and family counseling services for minors under
probation supervision. This includes youth in the community and residing with parent(s) or guardian(s). The
provider also served minors in custody as well as those reentering the community from the department's Juvenile
Detention Facility and New Foundations Program. Minors and families received services in an effort to reduce
recidivism. This entailed minors and families receiving counseling services one or two times per week based on
individual need. The provider continued to work collaboratively with the probation officers to help coordinate any
additional services the minor or family identified via the initial assessment. Services have been aimed at
increasing positive behavior change within the entire family system and increasing the family's overall level of
functioning by teaching new skills thereby reducing family conflict. Services have also been beneficial in reducing
the number of incidents for minors while they are in Juvenile Detention. Continued effort is made to strengthen
the family system, utilizing evidence based and informed practices including Trauma Informed Care and
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.

YOBG funding in this category was used to provide critically needed mental health services to minors detained at
the Juvenile Detention Facility. During this reporting period 527 unique minors received a menu of services
including initial screening assessments, detailed evaluations, crisis interventions, medication evaluation and
monitoring, referrals for 5150 evaluation, and general ongoing mental health support. A twenty-four-hour mobile
crisis unit was utilized as a back-up resource. A clinician also provided individual and group sessions to address
social needs. These services support the need to have a consistent continuum of care for minors in the juvenile
justice system, including detention that is identified in the Solano County Comprehensive Multi-Agency Juvenile
Justice Action Plan (CMJJP). The goal of this service is to assure that there is a primary focus on the mental
health issues that minors in detention experience. The benefits include the ability to substantially reduce the risk
of self-harm that this experience can sometimes create for them. The mental health services will be afforded to
minors detained at the Solano County Juvenile Detention Facility.

All minors that come to the attention of the probation department and require supervision received a risk
assessment. During this reporting period, Solano County utilized the Juvenile Assessments Interventions System
(JAIS) assessment. This assessment identifies the criminogenic risk and individual needs of the minor to be
provided in a disposition report to the Courts. The initial JAIS assessment was used to identify service needs and
develop the case plan goals in effort to reduce recidivism. In addition, JAIS reassessments were completed to
determine the youth’s response to supervision, guide additional services or close out supervision upon completion
of Probation. Using the JAIS assessment tool provides the probation offers a road map to address the minor's
needs, in an effort to reduce recidivism. Minors are assessed upon entry into informal or formal probation and re-
assessed every six months or when a significant change in circumstance occurs.

The Electronic Monitoring Program (EMP) program has been used as a limit setting consequence and monitoring
for minors who would have otherwise been detained in Juvenile Hall. Minors are allowed to receive services in
the community while remaining in the home. Minors placed on EMP were monitored by group counselors
assigned to field services. These minors are contacted by the group counselors two times a week in the home
and at school. The funding supports services and supplies needed for minors placed on the EMP program. In
turn, this saves Juvenile Hall bed days and reduces the need for overtime.

effectiveness and quality assurance. Provider reviewed treatment programs and services and assessed whether
the services provided are based upon evidence-based principles and practices. Provider utilized Evidenced
Based Programming curriculum, based on the most prevalent client criminogenic needs. This expenditure
supported enhanced training for probation staff in two (2) skill building techniques; Enhancing Skills for Offenders
Assessment and Responsivity in New Goals (SOARING) and Effective Practices for Correctional Supervision
(EPICS). These techniques and principals improve supervision skills, communication and overall intervention
strategies with clients.

Funding supported a contract to pay for the Restorative Justice (RJ) Program provided by the Solano County Bar
Association. In addition, the purchase of Interactive Journals, bus passes for youth and gift card incentives for
positive behavior and participation in groups was provided. Adding RJ principles educates the youth on the
impact of their offense upon victims and assists in healing for the youth and the victim. YOBG funds are also
used to support the purchase of gift card incentives that are provided to youth who demonstrate positive
behaviors, completion of programs, positive progress in school and in the community. These are distributed
based upon the departments Juvenile Incentives and Sanctions grid. Staff provide incentives as a result of
positive behaviors to acknowledge and encourage future positive behaviors from youth on their caseloads. YOBG
funds were also used to support incidental office expenses related to programs supported by YOBG funds.

YOBG funds paid for the salary and benefits of a Group Counselor mentor identified to support youth released
from New Foundation, Challenge and other out of home placements. A mentor partnered with the assigned
probation officer to help monitor and support the transition of the youth the first 60-90 days following release from
the program. This helps the youth re-acclimate back into the community by providing a positive support system.
The mentor assisted the assigned probation officer in the development of a transition plan for the youth, prior to
entering the aftercare phase of the program. The focus is on positive integration back to their family, school and
community. YOBG also paid for the salary and benefits of the identified supervisor. The supervisor monitored
the trainings and support for continued quality assurance. Program review included groups such as Aggression
Replacement Training, Thinking for a Change and substance abuse counseling. During this reporting period the
supervisor began reviewing and redesigning the overall program components for youth in custody. The
supervisor received training in data collection and relevance to Evidence Based Practices. The supervisor
worked closely with a consultant to address program development, and strengthen staff abilities in programing
while managing youth in custody. YOBG funding partially supported a (SSA) Senior Systems Analyst position as
well. The SSA supports the division in collecting, and analyzing data for management and probation officers.
This information allows the Department to make data driven decisions regarding allocations, resources and
staffing. This position will also support the Department in meeting local and state reporting requirements.

Solano: Data Trend Analysis
ANALYSIS OF COUNTYWIDE TREND DATA for: Solano
Government Code Section 30061(b)(4)(C)(iv) & WIC Section 1961(c)(3)
Provide a summary description or analysis, based on available information, of how the programs, placements,
services, strategies or system enhancements funded by JJCPA-YOBG have, or may have, contributed to, or
influenced, the juvenile justice data trends identified in this report.
Juvenile arrests in Solano County spiked in 2006, but have decreased substantially in the last eight years. The
California Department of Justice (DOJ) Open Justice data reports for 2016 show Solano County juveniles were
arrested for 332 felony offenses, 805 misdemeanor offenses, and 52 status offenses. This is a total reduction of
82 arrests from the previous year. The most frequent felony offenses for which Solano County juveniles were
arrested were for violent offenses (132) and property offenses (97). A smaller number of youth were arrested for
drug offenses (14) and sex offenses (6). Of importance to note, however, the number of arrests for violent
offenses was 31 less than the previous year.
As the number of arrests has decreased, the number of justice involved youth under probation supervision has
dropped as well. In 2016, according to the DOJ Juvenile Court & Probation Statistical System (JCPSS) report,
Solano County Wardship placements totaled 386. Alternative resolutions offered include informal probation (11),
diversion (161), non-ward probation (16), and Deferred Entry of Judgment (23).
With the funding support of the Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act & Youthful Offender Block Grant (JJCPA-
YOBG), Solano County has developed a continuum of care to address issues of at-risk youth. Services include
prevention and early intervention programs, community based services and supervision, residential interventions,
and secure care.
Solano County efforts have been made to enhance early intervention and prevention programs, a reflection seen
in the data report as 161 youth were offered diversion. Programs were created with the intent to divert youth from
the formal probation system by addressing treatment needs and by responding quickly to the reason for law
enforcement contact. Through the Juvenile Community Accountability Program (JCAP), low level or first-time
offenders are given the change for referral to the JCAP program rather than being formally processed through the
court system. The program uses restorative justice techniques to help youth understand the harm their actions
have had on the community or victim, and then gives an opportunity to make amends. Solano County has also
worked to expand felony and misdemeanor diversion programs, and tailor them more in line with evidence based
practices.
Although we've seen a reduced number of petition filings, for those that have the filing of a petition (413 new
filings), supervision and treatment services are afforded. This includes mental health and substance abuse
services, and faith based mentoring services, for example. As a result of the JJCPA revenue, those at-risk youth
warranting a higher level of intervention are referred to the Day Reporting Centers. Services include mentoring,
counseling, cognitive behavioral intervention, tutoring, job and life skills, and reentry coordination.
In 2016, a very small number (25) of youth needed elevated care to a residential foster care or group home
setting. As part of AB403, the continuum of care reforms, probation is working to reduce the time youth spend in
group home placements and encourage the use of Resource Families who are approved to provide care for and
meet the addressed needs of youth needing placement in a home-based setting. During this reporting period, 81
youth were court ordered to a secure county facility. However, this number includes those offered electronic
monitoring community supervision in lieu of custody. Also included are those youth ordered to the Juvenile
Detention Facility, New Foundations Program and Challenge Academy. Secure facility placement programs offer
rehabilitative services in an alternative and less restrictive environment than that of the Department of Juvenile
Justice. As reflected in the data report, providing a continuum of services aids in having a limited number of
placements at the Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ), a continuous goal. In 2016, only 5 youth were placed in
the DJJ by Solano County. With the revenue support of JJCPA-YOBG, Solano County Probation is able to afford
a variety of prevention, treatment and rehabilitative services, offering a milieu of programs and placements in an
effort to reduce recidivism and promote greater success in our youth and families.

This program funded salaries and benefits for four Probation Officers assigned to high school campuses across
the County. Officers are assigned geographically to schools where they supervise youth on Probation, and assist
the schools by providing prevention and intervention support to youth who are having behavioral problems.
Officers use cognitive behavioral journals and brief intervention techniques to work with youth under their
supervision. Youth served by this program are typically low to moderate risk.

Funds were used for contracted Functional Family Therapy services to Probation families. The program involves
phases and techniques designed to engage and motivate youth and families to change their communication,
interaction and problem solving skills. The Functional Family Therapy model is based on the assertion that the
family or living unit of the youth is the best context within which to both understand the nature of youths problems
and to search for long-term solutions. Interventions seek to strengthen the ability of families to resolve the
problems they face through reducing risk factors and increasing positive factors. The Functional Family Therapy
model has been shown to reduce recidivism and risk factors for juveniles in the justice system. Locally available
data have shown increases in family functioning and supervision of the youth.

Funds were used to provide restorative justice services in multiple formats through contracts with two CBO
providers. Depending on the case, youth may participate in family group conferencing, restorative mediation,
restorative dialog groups or accountability circles. While the format varies, the focus is on accepting responsibility
for offending and repairing harm. These services are delivered by Restorative Resources and Recourse
Mediation in the community and in Juvenile Hall.

This program includes violence prevention and intervention services. Probation contracts with five different
providers for delivery of Aggression Replacement Training, Healthy Relationships, My Strength, Diversity
workshops and individual trauma counseling. Groups are designed to prevent violence through education and skill
practice while individual counseling is intended to provide supports to youth who have a history of family violence.
Youth are able to access individual counseling via two different service providers. One of the providers specializes
in sexual abuse counseling and the other provider offers trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy counseling,
with the ability to also provide resource assistance (assistance to families in securing tangible resources) or
parent education on an as needed basis. These services are delivered in the community, at Probation Camp and
in Juvenile Hall.

Funding was used to pay salaries and benefits for three officers working with gang-involved youth. These officers
partner with law enforcement and monitor moderate-high to high risk to reoffend gang members in the
community. These youth are frequently referred to Aggression Replacement Training and other treatment
programs that address criminogenic needs and risk factors. The goal is to educate youth about gang culture and
risks, alternative choices and behaviors, resources to support healthier choices, tools to develop a positive
meaningful life and an overall increased awareness of self and others in order to become positive contributing
members of the community.

is 7.0 full-time equivalents. Many of these youth have ongoing behavioral and delinquency problems and, in the
past, may have been sent to DJJ after failing local options. The Juvenile Correctional Counselors provide
custody, programming, coordination and oversight of services to ensure the needs of participant youth are met.

The program funds paid for a contract for services with the community-based organization. The Vista Academy is
Sonoma County’s juvenile evening reporting center (ERC). The Center for Social and Environmental Stewardship
delivers the ERC program to juveniles who are assessed to be moderate to high risk to re-offend. Clients are
transported to the ERC after school hours and are provided intensive programming and activities designed to
structure 40-70% of a youth’s free time. The ERC is organized around a Positive Youth Justice (PYJ)
Framework. In addition to behavior change programs, they received counseling, tutoring, and other structured
activities. Transportation and meals are provided to program participants. Depending on the participant’s
progression through the case plan, the term of a successful participant is four to six months.

Program funds paid for contracts for services with three community-based organizations that provide coverage for
the main population centers of Sonoma County. The Girls Circle program was delivered by Petaluma People
Services Center, Child Parent Institute, and Verity. The program utilizes a female-responsive, Motivational
Interviewing approach to treatment services involving relationship building, ritual, and directed techniques to elicit
self-change. Girls Circles were offered to Diversion and Community Supervision youth under this program.
Weekly two-hour groups were conducted in eight-week cycles.

youth under probation supervision and their parents. Teen Triple P (Positive Parenting Program) provides parents
with a broad focused parenting support intervention on a one-to-one basis for parents of teenagers. After
thorough family assessment, parents set their own goals, learn ways to encourage positive behavior for teens,
and teach their teens new skills such as problem solving, conflict resolution and self-regulation. Parents also learn
ways to use appropriate consequences for misbehaviors (e.g. breaking family rules, taking inappropriate risks,
emotional outbursts). Regular Triple P is also available to juvenile probationers with small children under these
contracts.

support for the contract was funded by the Sonoma County Office of Education. Sonoma County’s Educational
Liaison Services (SCELS) works with the Juvenile Court to facilitate education services and placement of
adjudicated youth into local schools, and to monitor the adjudicated youths’ progress in completing educational
goals and accessing appropriate support services. YOBG funds the contracted consultant to deliver SCELS
services. The target population is students who have little or no support in addressing the educational and
behavioral challenges that resulted in their referral into the juvenile justice system. SCELS draws from
collaborative work involving the Juvenile Court, the Probation Department, the Sonoma County Office of
Education, attorneys, public and private schools, community-based organizations, parents, guardians, families of
students, and advocates.

These funds partially paid for the cost of a contract with the main sex offender treatment provider working with
Probation. The contract was also partially funded from the County General Fund. Additionally, there was a need to
cover services for a youth being supervised through interstate compact in Oregon. For that purpose, the services
of Brad Dehler, LCSW were engaged and paid for. Sonoma County's Juvenile Sex Offender Treatment Program
utilizes the Collaborative Model for the supervision and treatment of juvenile sexual offenders. The model
incorporates assessment, monitoring, supervision, intervention and treatment into a comprehensive program that
is designed to reduce recidivism in the sex offender population. The Juvenile Sexual Offense Recidivism Risk
Assessment Tool-II (JSORRAT-II) is utilized as the required risk assessment tool for juveniles determined
appropriate for the program. Results of this assessment are used to inform a range of decisions, including
placement, programming, supervision, and other resource allocation decisions. Community treatment involves
group counseling, family therapy, and individual treatment.

Funds paid for a 1.0 analyst who is responsible for supporting the Department's capacity to develop and
administer programs, conduct statistical analysis, and monitor data for the Juvenile Division. However there was a
vacancy in this position for approximately half the year. The Sonoma County Probation Department has been
heavily involved over the past several years in the systematic development of evidence-based practices, including
the integration of case management and evidence-based programs. YOBG funds are being allocated to
maintaining existing effective programs, expand the continuum of alternatives to detention services, and fill gaps
in treatment needs. YOBG funds are utilized to support administrative functions to implement, oversee, and
evaluate evidence-based programming in Sonoma County. The analyst supports Department capacity to develop
and administer programs, conduct statistical analysis, and monitor data for the Juvenile Probation Services
Division.

Sonoma: Data Trend Analysis
ANALYSIS OF COUNTYWIDE TREND DATA for: Sonoma
Government Code Section 30061(b)(4)(C)(iv) & WIC Section 1961(c)(3)
Provide a summary description or analysis, based on available information, of how the programs, placements,
services, strategies or system enhancements funded by JJCPA-YOBG have, or may have, contributed to, or
influenced, the juvenile justice data trends identified in this report.
The following analysis should be viewed with in the context of the following two limitations. One is that Probation
cannot guarantee the accuracy of the data. These reports categorize data differently than any report Probation
currently has and reconciling the data in order to assess accuracy would require the development of new reports.
The Sonoma County Information Services Department does not currently have the capacity to do this work. That
said, the method of sending data to JCPSS has been consistent over the years, and so trends observed are likely
measuring something real. The second limitation is that we cannot assign causality to any one factor for trends
that appear in the data. They are, of course, the result of many factors including state and national trends. With
those caveats, we present the following analysis.
Since 2006, there has been a significant decline in juvenile crime and this is evident in the Sonoma County data.
Declines in arrests, petitions filed and youth placed on some type of court probation (informal, ward, non-ward or
DEOJ) have declined by 69%, 72% and 72% respectively.
There has also been a dramatic decrease in the percentage of subsequent petitions. In 2006 33% of all petitions
were subsequent (rather than new petitions) and in 2016, only 6% were subsequent petitions.
These trends may indicate that YOBG and JJCPA funded programs are having a positive impact on Sonoma
County youth. Like other Probation Departments around the state, Sonoma County Probation has tried, wherever
possible to implement evidence based programs and strategies. This extends, of course to the programs funded
by YOBG and JJCPA. One could conclude that these programs are one of many factors leading to a reduction in
juvenile crime in the county. Further, based on the lower percentage of subsequent petitions, one might assume
that these programs have had some role in reducing recidivism for youth who enter the juvenile justice system.
These trends, as well as statewide trends in juvenile crime seem to point to the overall success of juvenile justice
realignment.

The High Risk Offender Program expands intensive, community based supervision of high-risk juvenile court
wards and the enforcement, or clearance, of juvenile court warrants. The objective is to reduce juvenile crime
and gang involvement in the target population and increase offender accountability by actively enforcing
outstanding juvenile court warrants. The program also strengthens existing law enforcement and probation
partnerships by increasing the number of police/probation teams available to focus on this high-risk population.
The program provides more coverage for high crime areas in the county, particularly in the West and South
Modesto areas, where both the Sheriff and Modesto Police Department have jurisdiction.
This program has demonstrated effectiveness in reducing delinquency and addressing juvenile crime as it has
shown a decrease in the number of adjudicated offenses including, drug related and violent offenses. There were
also fewer violations of probation than in previous years. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) was also provided
to youth under probation supervision.

Home Supervision, an intervention and incapacitation program, is designed to provide protection to the
community and offender accountability while allowing offenders to remain in their homes in lieu of incarceration.
The program consists of Electronic Monitoring and House Arrest of wards and alleged wards pending adjudication
and/or disposition hearings in Juvenile Court. By restricting appropriately selected minors to their homes rather
than detaining them in Juvenile Hall, secure detention beds can be reserved for those youth posing the greatest
danger to the community and taxpayer costs for juvenile facility placements can be avoided. The minors are
supervised through frequent face-to-face visits by program staff who verify school attendance and participation in
structured, community based counseling programs and compliance with imposed restrictions.

The Probation Department and Juvenile Justice Behavioral Health (JJBH) have a long standing history of
partnering to provide services to youth in the criminal justice system. JJBH staff are currently co-located with the
Probation Department. The Behavioral Health Screening Process is utilized to make the initial referral for
assessment. Upon completion of the assessment process, the Juvenile Drug Court team, to include two
Behavioral Health Specialists/Certified Substance abuse counselors, one Mental Health Clinician and a Deputy
Probation Officer meet to share information and determine appropriateness for the program. Once accepted into
the program, staff from both agencies interact on a daily basis, exchanging information as necessary. Juvenile
probationers will receive intensive drug and alcohol treatment services and random drug testing based on the
Juvenile Drug Court model. JDC provides both individual and group mental health and substance abuse
counseling for juveniles diagnosed with co-occurring disorders. Moral Recognition Therapy (MRT), an evidence-
based program, is integrated in group treatment along with substance abuse education and recovery concepts.
Information regarding the youth’s progress is shared with the Juvenile Court Judge during review hearings or as
the need arises to address relapse issues.
Juvenile Drug Courts provide for more intensive supervision over juvenile offenders and it has been demonstrated
that increased monitoring of participants, random drug screening and the treatment and rehabilitation
requirements of juvenile drug court programs promote a greater likelihood of success in reducing drug use and
delinquent activity than can be achieved through most existing juvenile court processes. Stanislaus County's
existing Juvenile Drug Court has demonstrated significant positive outcomes proving its effectiveness since its
inception in 1998.

Treating justice involved girls and boys in a generic manner do not appropriately meet girls’ needs. Girls tend to
have elevated rates of trauma, which can lead to serious mental health conditions. The reasons for girls’ system
involvement are complex and often rooted in challenging family dynamics. Without gender-responsive
assessments, programs, and services, an opportunity to address the issues that lead to girls’ justice involvement
is missed.
The Stanislaus County Probation Department's Gender Responsive Alternatives to Detention (GRAD) program
includes a specialized caseload, gender-responsive training and assessment tool and enhanced services for the
under-served population of justice involved girls. The probation department utilizes the gender-responsive
Juvenile Assessment and Intervention System (JAIS) tool. The JAIS is an evidence-based tool that generates an
assessment in order to identify a supervision strategy and create an intervention plan. Upon the completion of the
assessment process, the GRAD team, to include the DPO I/II and Center for Human Services case manager,
meet to share information and determine appropriateness for the program for the under-served population of
justice involved girls. Once accepted into the program, staff from both agencies interact on a daily basis,
conducting weekly case reviews, attending court appearances and exchanging information as necessary.
The GRAD program employs numerous alternative interventions in the event of a violation of probation. Among
the alternatives to the traditional approach are: referral to appropriate treatment services (i.e. substance abuse,
mental health); community service; Hutton House (a shelter and respite for youth); and other non-custody options
like electronic monitoring and home commitment. Female probationers receive various services such as an
evidence-based Alcohol and Other Drug (AOD) treatment program, Steps to Freedom. Moral Reconation
Therapy (MRT) is the premier cognitive-behavior program for substance abuse treatment which combines
education, group and individual counseling, and structured exercises designed to foster moral development in
treatment-resistant probationers. GRAD probationers may also be referred to Aggression Replacement Training
(ART). ART is a cognitive behavioral intervention program to help children and adolescents improve social skill
competence and moral reasoning, better manage anger, and reduce aggressive behavior.

In an ongoing effort to promote public safety by preventing lower risk minors from escalating into delinquency,
from being sent to out-of-home placement or from otherwise being detained, Stanislaus County uses the Juvenile
Assessment and Intervention System (JAIS), an evidence based risk assessment tool, to develop case plans for
minors supervised on probation. This program identifies minors who may be in need of a higher level of
supervision and also provides a targeted intervention for those minors who are low to medium risk. The JAIS
supervision strategies determine the level of intervention. The JAIS also identifies strategies that emphasize
public safety, rehabilitation and accountability and focuses efforts on criminogenic needs. Juvenile Supervision
Officers use this evidence based and gender responsive assessment tool in developing a plan to provide
treatment options aligned with the assessed needs of minors before they are re-committed to juvenile hall, sent to
placement or sentenced to the Department of Juvenile Justice. The JAIS complements the professional
judgement of the supervising officer and emphasizes the reduction in recidivism through the use of evidence
based supervision strategies.
One (1) Deputy Probation Officer III and one (1) Deputy Probation Officer I/II were funded. Funds were also
utilized for the JAIS subscription.
The Juvenile Field Services Division is being re-organized and caseloads are being re-distributed by JAIS
supervision strategies that addresses both the criminogenic needs and risks of the youth, rather than by region or
risk factors alone. Case plan development and concurrent planning are generated using the JAIS assessment
results and are incorporated into our integrated planning tool provided by Assessments.com.

The Stanislaus County Juvenile Commitment Facility (JCF) is a treatment facility comprised of three living units; a
30-bed living unit and two 15-bed living units. The facility is separated from, but directly adjacent to the existing
Juvenile Hall and Juvenile Justice Center. The Juvenile Commitment Facility provided residential programming for
post-adjudicated wards, thereby preserving secure beds at the Juvenile Hall for pre-adjudicated juvenile
offenders. The facility was designed to house longer term Juvenile Court commitments and provide academic and
vocational education programs, mental health and substance abuse services, Culinary and Trade learning
programs and other programs which promote a sense of self-discipline and responsibility to guide them toward a
more productive and pro-social lifestyle.
A number of Probation Corrections Officers have been trained in the evidence-based Aggression Replacement
Training (ART). Additionally, the department has one train-the-trainer staff. Several of the officers worked in the
Juvenile Commitment Facility facilitate ART groups. Additionally, evidence-based drug and alcohol counseling,
including Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT), was offered within the new facility by Juvenile Justice Mental Health
staff funded by YOBG.
Funding went to salary and benefit costs for one (1) Facility Manager, four (4) Supervising Probation Correction
Officers, two (2) Probation Correction Officer III, four (4) Probation Correction Officer I/II, one (1) Legal Clerk III,
one (1) Juvenile Justice Mental Health Clinician I/II and one (1) Behavioral Health Specialist I/II to operate the

The Juvenile Hall provides temporary and extended detention for those minors awaiting detention, jurisdictional or
dispositional hearings. Programming for both pre-and post-adjudicated wards was also provided. The facility
provided academic and vocational education programs, mental health and substance abuse services and other
programs which promote a sense of self-discipline and responsibility. The Juvenile Hall housed minors including
those non-707b youth that would have previously been committed to DJJ or some youth who had violated a
placement order were returned to benefit from services at the Juvenile Hall.
Consistent with Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) standards, YOBG funds paid for salary and benefit costs for
additional staff positions to staff the facility while providing supervision services to minors detained in the Juvenile
Hall. Equipment, training and travel costs for each new staff as well as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
workbook materials and incentives were included. (Statement in consolidated 17-18 plan). As part of the
Culinary Trade Program, a future staff/cook will be paid for out of these funds to work directly with the youth in the
development of meal plans, kitchen safety, meal preparation, and overall on-site culinary training for youth.
A number of Probation Corrections Officers have been trained in the evidence-based Aggression Replacement
Training (ART) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). With the additional officers trained in ART/CBT, not
only will the PREA mandate be consistent with standards, but they will also provide the needed supervision and

Stanislaus: Data Trend Analysis
ANALYSIS OF COUNTYWIDE TREND DATA for: Stanislaus
Government Code Section 30061(b)(4)(C)(iv) & WIC Section 1961(c)(3)
Provide a summary description or analysis, based on available information, of how the programs, placements,
services, strategies or system enhancements funded by JJCPA-YOBG have, or may have, contributed to, or
influenced, the juvenile justice data trends identified in this report.
In February 2017, a multi-year evaluation for the Stanislaus County Probation Department‘s juvenile crime data
for recidivism was conducted by the Department's Crime Analyst (position paid for our of YOBG funds). Years
2011 to 2015 were evaluated to improve our programming and supervision effectiveness, especially related to
those JJCPA and YOBG funded positions/programs. The hope was that by comparing the data year by year we
could evaluate the factors needed to help our juveniles by working toward reducing recidivism rates and better
determine where other resources are needed. Since this is the first year of our "trend analysis" we will try to
highlight some areas then do some on-going comparisons for subsequent years to evaluate trends.
Analysis of recidivism data of the five-year period from 2011 to 2015 showed an 8% decline in 2012 and a 4%
decline in 2014, with a slight increase up 6% in 2015. The decline in 2012 may be due to the development of the
Juvenile Assessment and Intervention System (JAIS) tool designed to evaluate the needs of minors in the
juvenile system (YOBG funded). As a result of the introduction of the JAIS, the Juvenile Division is now re-
organized and caseloads are divided up by JAIS supervision strategies. Officers are using targeted supervision
strategies (criminogenic needs and risks) for their youth, instead of just supervising by region or risk level alone.
Another possibility for the decrease is our Gender Responsive Alternatives to Detention (GRAD) grant (JJCPA
funded) that target the female probation population and offers alternatives to incarceration for technical
violations. Probation has worked efficiently and effectively in reducing juvenile recidivism rates in Stanislaus
County. Providing gender specific programs such as GRAD and also introducing CBT and ART in the institution
and field supervision, has influenced the decrease in those re-offending minors. Data shows female wardship
has decreased by 6% since 2012. A recent CBT session had a total of 5 graduates in which none of the
graduates have reoffended.
The total number of juvenile wards under supervision has significantly declined over a five-year period going
from a high of 315 youth in 2012 to a low of 186 in 2015. In 2016, we had an average of 150 youth. While
recidivism rates in 2015 did slightly increase despite the lower overall numbers in offenders, the reason for the
increase may be attributed to many factors. One such explanation could be the increase in attrition of juveniles
who have completed wardship leaving those that are climatized and more likely to commit an offense while still
on probation. Still another plausible reason may be attributed to Proposition 47 and the idea that juveniles will
commit more crimes knowing the penalty of such crimes will be little to non-existent. We will continue to track
our recidivism and factors that account for the changes and report these numbers back out in subsequent
JJCPA/YOBG reports. For purposes of examining the recidivism rates for juvenile wards under the supervision
of the Stanislaus County Probation Department from 2011 to 2015, data includes those juveniles whose
wardship was terminated in less than one year, juveniles who have completed Deferred Entry of Judgement
(DEJ), and juveniles who have relocated out of county before wardship was terminated. Analysis targets
included collected data using the probation department’s ICJIS program and The Superior Court of California,
County of Stanislaus Case index. 2016 numbers are being evaluated and will be reported out next year as well
as 2017 combined JJCPA/YOBG numbers.
Related to JJCPA funding, the Juvenile High-Risk Offender Unit and Home Supervision programs continue to
supervise and monitor youth in the community using intensive supervision techniques and regular home
visitations. The increased accountability continues to offer the Department the needed services to positively
impact those high risk populations. Related to the Juvenile Commitment Facility, Culinary Arts Training
Program, youth that have graduated high school and have a commitment of three months or longer can earn
their Serve Safe and Food Handlers Card to be cleared to handle food to participate in the Culinary Arts
Program. The program teaches responsibility and discipline in a kitchen environment. Youth have the
opportunity to work alongside professional kitchen staff and learn the basics of preparing food in a specialized
setting. Additional camp programs include in-custody CBT and ART.

Probation officers are assigned offenders who attend local schools, including: Yuba City High School, River
Valley High School, Gray Avenue Middle School, and Feather River Academy, and also provide services to
identified at-risk youth. One additional probation officer focuses on high risk youth who receive services from
other agencies, particularly those with mental health concerns, but may not be attending school. Because of the
reduced caseload size, intensive supervision, guidance and oversight is provided by these officers. Many
youths receiving intensive services have experienced school failure, are gang offenders, or are at risk of gang
involvement. Officers may facilitate groups or coordinate athletic and extracurricular activities for both offenders
and at-risk students. Officers also provide truancy services. Officers regularly collaborate with community
agencies to provide support for youth and families. All youth receive assessments and collaborative case plans,
using SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Timely) interventions.
Portions of salary and benefits for five Deputy Probation Officers, with a small amount set aside to assist with
needs of youth and to pay for any added services over the year. Without YOBG funds, caseload ratios would
not be possible at the level to deliver evidence-based practices. Title IV-E, Yuba City Unified School District,
and Juvenile Probation Funding (JPF) revenue is used to offset the remaining portions of the officers’
salaries/benefits. The officer also uses The Change Companies curriculum with probation and at-risk youth.
Further, this year, two vehicles were purchased for staff to utilize in their daily duties travelling from school to the
office, as well as transporting minors and students to school, county agencies, and community services,
including transporting parents to the Parent Project program.
Reduced caseloads for officers on and off campus allow the officers to concentrate their efforts and to provide
additional support services to students, which would not be possible when caseloads are less targeted or
specialized.
The Principles of Effective Intervention are used in assessing, case planning, and case management of
offenders. EBP curriculums, including The Change Companies journaling series are utilized. A
sanctions/incentives response matrix is also utilized to respond to technical violations of probation.

Officers facilitated two Parent Project sessions of 10 to 16 weeks per year for up to 30 parents. Facilitators
provided activity-based instruction and step-by-step plans to help parents learn how to manage "strong willed"
adolescent behavior problems at home. Parents also attended support groups where they received emotional
and practical support from facilitators and other parents and practiced implementing newly acquired skills and
techniques (e.g., addressing problem behaviors, managing conflict, building positive self-concepts in their
children).
YOBG funds were used to pay for Parent Project workbooks, group materials, refreshments and incentives for
parents.
This program provides a hands-on opportunity for officers to work with parents of probationers and at-risk youth
to provide the tools necessary to resolve at risk behavior within the home.
The program is best practice, but not yet evidence-based. Research is on-going, but not yet published.
However, officers will divide the parents in groups for the program based on their child's risk to re-offend. As
there are no breaks during the sessions, parents in separate groups do not have the opportunity to co-mingle.
In FY16-17, there were 89 referrals to the English class, of those 20 parents chose to participate in the Fall
English program. There were 28 referrals to the Spanish class, of those 12 parents chose to participate in the
Spring Spanish program.

Sutter County Probation utilizes the Positive Achievement Change Tool (PACT): A web based risk assessment
tool which has been used by the Probation Department since 2008. The PACT is utilized to determine a youth's
risk to reoffend, as well as determine the Criminogenic Needs, and risk and protective factors. Probation officers
utilize the information to determine level of supervision, as well as in determining treatment needs/goals and
case planning. Every youth referred to Probation by law enforcement is assessed with the PACT pre-screen to
determine risk to reoffend. If a youth is referred to Court and/or will be under some type of supervision, a PACT
full-screen will be completed to guide the focus of case-planning with the youth and their family.
The tool also provides the Detention Risk Assessment Instrument, to aid in determining whether a youth needs
to remain in detention while pending charges.
YOBG funds assist in funding the licensing for use of the assessment tool.
Youth under supervision are reassessed at minimum every six months, but generally more often due to changes
in their circumstances.

The program, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Substance Abusing Adolescents, is 12 to 16 weeks in length,
with the CBT Facilitator and the juvenile meeting weekly for 45 minutes to 1 hour on an individual basis. As
noted above, three sessions can be family sessions, if the juvenile agrees to said sessions. There are three
Core Modules and 11 Skills Modules. Each session consists of a Check In/Review of Skills and At-Home
Practice; Teaching Skills; and Practice, Practice, Practice. The program utilizes Motivational Interviewing for
engagement and change processes, role-playing, and modeling. The program also incorporates chemical
testing to hold juveniles accountable throughout the program. Sutter County Probation utilizes one Intervention
Counselor and one Probation Officer to provide CBT services.
The 15 sessions cover the following modules:
1. Motivation/Engagement
2. Functional Analysis
3. Coping with Cravings
4. Communication Skills

Functional Family Therapy (FFT) is a short term, EBP proven program, which has been utilized successfully with
a wide range of juveniles and their families. The program targets juveniles, ages 11-18, at risk for or showing
signs of delinquency, violence, substance abuse, Conduct Disorder, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, or Disruptive
Disorder. FFT is outcome driven and can be used for both prevention and intervention. The basic components
of the program are outlined as follows from information provided from the website for the Center for the Study
and Prevention of Violence through the University of Colorado: FFT effectiveness derives from emphasizing
factors which enhance protective factors and reduce risk, including the risk of treatment termination. In order to
accomplish these changes in the most effective manner, FFT is a phasic program with steps which build upon
each other. These phases consist of: Engagement, designed to emphasize within juveniles and family factors
that protect juveniles and families from early program dropout; Motivation, designed to change maladaptive
emotional reactions and beliefs, and increase alliance, trust, hope, and motivation for lasting change;
Assessment, designed to clarify individual, family system, and larger system relationships, especially the
interpersonal functions of behavior and how they relate to change techniques; Behavior Change, which consists
of communication training, specific tasks and technical aids, basic parenting skills, contracting and response-
cost techniques; and Generalization, during which family case management is guided by individualized family
functional needs, their interface with environmental constraints and resources, and the alliance with the FFT
therapist.
Sutter County originally implemented the FFT program in 2003. The program has been ongoing since that time.
The program is offered to probation-involved youth and families and any other families in the community that
would benefit and meet the qualifiers. The program is offered to all at no cost.
Sutter County maintains a Functional Family Therapy Team which includes one Deputy Probation Officer, ½ of a
FIT/CSOC Therapist, and a MSYGC Therapist who directly supervises the program. The team is supervised by
a Clinical Supervisor within the Behavioral Health System. The program is monitored for fidelity by the Clinical
Supervisor, as well as the facilitator attends a yearly FFT Symposium to stay well-informed of changes/updates,
etc. to the program. JJCPA assists in funding the Probation Officer, any supplies necessary for the program,
and training the PO may need to support the program.
Referral numbers were low for FY16-17, as the FFT Facilitator was on leave for a significant portion of the year,
and a new facilitator was only recently trained.

This multi-tiered program incorporates a graduated scale of supervision and family based service interventions
to Wards and their families. The juveniles are initially committed to the Maxine Singer Youth Guidance Center
(MSYGC) for up to one year, as depending upon their progress in the program, the juvenile has the potential to
complete the program sooner than a year. The Wards dispositioned to MSYGC have typically failed to engage
in probation services out of custody and benefit from a structured environment with supportive services and clear
incentivized guidelines. The MSYGC program consists of four phases, the juvenile obtaining more incentives as
they work through the phases. Acceptance into the MSYGC program begins with a multi-disciplinary
assessment to determine the needs of the juvenile and his/her family, and to determine the appropriateness for
entrance into the program. Phase four of the program includes a home furlough period with the juvenile
returning to the program during the day. The Stepping Stones Aftercare Program is implemented during Phase
II of the MSYGC program to create a solid re-entry plan between the juvenile, their family, and the community.
Intensive supervision and support of the juvenile and his/her family continues from the date of commitment to
and including six months after release from the MSYGC program. The caseload is maintained by one Deputy
Probation Officer, funded by JJCPA and JPF, who supervises no more than 15 juveniles at a time. Services for
these juveniles are family-centered and include detention based as well as intensive community based
treatment, supervision, drug treatment, education, recreation, life skills building and other capacity building
activities. The Stepping Stones Aftercare program benefits from the team approach of MSYGC staff, the
Aftercare officer, and by families and the juvenile joining together to develop a case plan collaboratively. This
approach is an expansion of the multidisciplinary, family-centered approach Sutter County has been working
under since 1998. There is success in using this approach in early intervention cases, and we have found
similar success through the Aftercare program with juveniles already entrenched in the justice system. This
program has been in effect in Sutter County since 2002; however, it has also been previously funded by the
Youthful Offender Block Grant. Collaborative partners involved in the MSYGC program and The Stepping
Stones program include the Counties of Yuba, Colusa and Sutter, as the MSYGC is a regional facility. Yuba
County maintains the MSYGC facility. Sutter County Probation Officers and/or Intervention Counselors provide
Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT), intensive supervision, and quality case planning. Sutter-Yuba Behavioral
Health provides counseling and family support services, as well as alcohol and other drug services. Yuba
County Office of Education and Sutter County One Stop provide education and employment services to eligible
juveniles.
In FY16-17, there were 13 youth dispositioned to the MSYGC program. 5 participated in the Stepping Stones
Aftercare Program and either completed successfully, or are still participating. 4 did not participate for varying
reasons. 4 are still serving their disposition.

Sutter: Data Trend Analysis
ANALYSIS OF COUNTYWIDE TREND DATA for: Sutter
Government Code Section 30061(b)(4)(C)(iv) & WIC Section 1961(c)(3)
Provide a summary description or analysis, based on available information, of how the programs, placements,
services, strategies or system enhancements funded by JJCPA-YOBG have, or may have, contributed to, or
influenced, the juvenile justice data trends identified in this report.
Since inception of YOBG and JJCPA funding, Sutter County Probation has seen an overall reduction in arrests,
petitions filed, and youth under all types of supervision. In the past two years, the number of youth under some
type of supervision (informal, formal, wardship, Deferred Entry of Judgment) has decreased over 40%. Further,
number of referrals from law enforcement in that time has decreased steadily since 2008. In 2016 we received
327 referrals from law enforcement, a more than 50% reduction since 2010 (723 referrals).
Although there are multitude of reasons for the decline in referrals and arrests, with the institution of Evidence
Based Practices (EBP) in 2008, Sutter County Probation has systematically and strategically changed the way we
approach the juvenile justice system. We assess for Risk and Needs, utilize risk-based supervision and a
Sanction/Incentive Matrix for graduated sanctions, as well as Intensive Case Management/Supervision for High
Risk/High Needs youth and families. Sutter County Probation also provides EBP programs, including Functional
Family Therapy (FFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Substance Abusing Adolescents (CBT), Moral
Reconation Therapy (MRT), The Change Companies Forward Thinking Journaling, Seeking Safety, Gang
Resistance Education and Training (GREAT), Matrix Intensive Outpatient Treatment for People With Stimulant
Use Disorders. We also provide The Parent Project program, a promising practice used throughout the nation.
All Sutter County Probation programming is available to the community, not just probation involved youth and
families, free of charge, due to JJCPA/YOBG funding. Referrals for programming are received from local
schools, law enforcement, other county agencies, self-referral, and neighboring probation departments.
The emphasis on quality case management, quality case planning, internal programming, and psychological
assessment for mental health and sex offending youth, has assisted in reducing the number of youth in out-of-
home placement over the past several years. Currently, Sutter County Probation has zero youth in placement.
We intend to implement Child Family Team (CFT) meetings for Youth at Imminent Risk of Removal by the end of
year 2017. The idea being to create creative, collaborative, and relevant case plans, as well as cultivate respite
care for youth and their families to further reduce the risk of out-of-home care for youth. JJCPA/YOBG funding for
Intensive Probation Supervision will assist in being able to provide this service. Because JJCPA/YOBG funding
allows us to house probation officers in several of our local schools (two high schools, one middle school, and one
alternative school), probation officers are able to divert students that would normally be referred to probation by
addressing matters immediately on school campus, providing direct service/programming to students, referral to
services, and case management.
Not only has Sutter County Probation implemented a number of programs to aid in the reduction of referrals, we
have also made a concerted effort to educate our stakeholders, including local law enforcement on Evidenced
Based Practices, our pledge to divert Low Risk Offenders, and our commitment to provide the least restrictive
placements for youth involved in the juvenile justice system. This includes collaborative relationships with our
local schools, child welfare partners, and behavioral health system.
Due in part to all of the above, Sutter County Probation has seen great success in reducing the number of youth
involved in the juvenile justice system, and an even greater reduction in the number of youth brought before the
Juvenile Court, and subsequently placed on some type of supervision.

These funds were used to provide staffing for and to conduct comprehensive assessments on new juvenile
cases, provide case planning and intensive home supervision to our highest risk juvenile population, and assist in
diverting youth away from higher levels of care and incarceration. The tool we are using for determination of
juvenile risk is the PACT assessment, which screens for level of risk. Higher risk youth who are at the greatest
risk of commitment to the State Division of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) are provided more intensive supervision and
services by a seasoned Deputy Probation Officer, and all services and intervention strategies align with the Risk-
Needs-Responsivity (RNR) model of evidence-based practice. Officers also utilize a variety of educational and
social awareness programs collaboratively facilitated by Probation, Behavioral Health, and our local CBO, Human
Response Network.

These funds were used to provide staffing for and to support on-going efforts related to our Juvenile Diversion
Program (JDP). The Trinity County Juvenile Diversion Program is an integrated diversion program providing
services to at-risk youth ages 10-17 who have been referred to probation by the School Attendance Review Board
(SARB), Law Enforcement agencies, Schools, Child Protective Services (CPS), Parent and/or the Community. At
risk youth are defined as: habitually truant, out of control minor (beyond parental control) or minor entering the
criminal justice system that are statutorily eligible for diversion services. The program components include
possible services and referrals related to parenting, substance abuse, mental health counseling, truancy
intervention, and self-esteem building. Along with the Juvenile Diversion Program, funds were also utilized for the
Delinquency Prevention Program (DPP). The DPP was developed as a modification of the Juvenile Diversion
Program as an integrated diversion program for at risk youth and includes the following components: School-
based prevention activities and programs, youth center activities and mentoring; Parenting Education, individual
Human Response Network (HRN) services; and counseling (direct and by referral).

ANALYSIS OF COUNTYWIDE TREND DATA for:
Government Code Section 30061(b)(4)(C)(iv) & WIC Section 1961(c)(3)
Provide a summary description or analysis, based on available information, of how the programs, placements,
services, strategies or system enhancements funded by JJCPA-YOBG have, or may have, contributed to, or
influenced, the juvenile justice data trends identified in this report.
An analysis of the data trends related to juvenile justice in Trinity County reveals effectiveness in meeting
intended goals related to prevention, early intervention, and diversion from deeper impact of youth into our local
justice system. This can be seen in the overall reduction of Ward cases in the system, the steep decline in the
number of removals and out-of-home placements, and the fact that we have not had a single DJJ state commit
for nearly 10 years. Additionally, the fact that juvenile arrests rates have been declining speaks to the
effectiveness of the front-loading of juvenile prevention and intervention services in both outcomes and fiscal
pragmatism.

The Family Preservation Program is designed to strengthen and unify the families of juveniles who have had
contact with the Juvenile Justice System. This community-based program applies a model where the family unit is
observed, evaluated, and treated together with the goal of keeping the family intact. The primary focus of this
program is to identify the needs of both the juvenile and the family and to provide “wrap-around” support and
intervention services in the home environment. This program utilizes strength-based, family-centered, intensive,
individualized care planning and management model strategies. Family Preservation also employs a team-based
approach in the planning and implementation process, involving people who are instrumental in the formative
years including, but not limited to: family members, social support networks, faith-based entities, service
providers, and other community-based representatives. Positive outcomes include the development of problem-
solving skills, coping skills, and self-efficacy of the youth and the family. Finally, there is an emphasis on
integrating the juvenile into the community and building/maintaining the family’s social support network.
Accomplishments:
During the preceding fiscal year, 40% of the program participants graduated from the program and did not
advance to a higher level of care.

Tulare: Data Trend Analysis
ANALYSIS OF COUNTYWIDE TREND DATA for: Tulare
Government Code Section 30061(b)(4)(C)(iv) & WIC Section 1961(c)(3)
Provide a summary description or analysis, based on available information, of how the programs, placements,
services, strategies or system enhancements funded by JJCPA-YOBG have, or may have, contributed to, or
influenced, the juvenile justice data trends identified in this report.
Analysis of the data relevant to the continued implementation of the Long Term Custodial Commitment Program
in the Juvenile Institutions revealed a significant decrease in Wardship Placements between the years of 2012
and 2014. The trend briefly reversed in 2015 with a slight increase and returned to a gradual downward trend in
2016. Although this number was slightly lower in 2016, the Department implemented a Sex Offender Counseling
Program in February 2017 and extended its Long Term Program Custodial Commitment Program in an effort to
help mitigate future increases due to the passage of Proposition 57.
G.R.E.A.T. Program statistics are kept in reference to arrest rates for students prior to receiving the G.R.E.A.T.
curriculum and after graduation from the program. For both elementary and middle school participants during
2011-2014, the trend was a slight increase in arrest rates, which was consistently under 2% for middle school
students and 1% for elementary school students. The trend then changes course in 2014-2016 with a less than
1% decrease in subsequent arrest rates across the board for both age groups.
The Family Preservation program was implemented in July 2014. One of the Department's primary objectives was
to graduate youth from the program and prevent them from entering a higher level of care. In the first year we
exceeded our goal of a 25% graduation rate, posting a 43% graduation rate. The graduation rate trended slightly
downward in fiscal year 2015-2016 with a decrease of 11%. It rebounded in 2016-2017 with an increase of 8%,
bringing the graduation results to 40%. The Family Preservation program has impacted the Tulare County
Juvenile Justice Data on two fronts. It has reduced the number of juvenile probationers committed to secured
detention programs and reduced the number of minors being removed from their home and placed in foster care.
The continuation of the Family Preservation program allows the Probation Department to forecast that the
graduation rates for the Family Preservation program will continue to hover in the 40% range, thus impacting the
Tulare County Juvenile Justice Data in a positive manner.
All youth involved in the Youth Facility Program participate in evidence based programming, including support for
re-entry to the community and reunification with families. The annual number of participants has remained
relatively the same for the past five (5) years. Statistics kept in reference to technical violations had a slightly
decreasing trend of 1% during 2012-2014. However, this trend changed during the period of 2015-2016 where
there was a slight increase of 2% in the technical violations for youth.
The Department strives for continuous improvement with ongoing efforts to research, develop, evaluate and
implement new innovative programs and approaches to add to its program services and will modify or replace any
programs and/or services that have proven to be ineffective.

Government Code Section 30061(b)(4)(C)(iv) & WIC Section 1961(c)(3)
Provide a summary description or analysis, based on available information, of how the programs, placements,
services, strategies or system enhancements funded by JJCPA-YOBG have, or may have, contributed to, or
influenced, the juvenile justice data trends identified in this report.
The below listed best/promising practice and intervention specific to probation youth whose strengths and needs
were assessed through the utilization of National Council on Crime and Delinquency’s (NCCD) Juvenile
Assessment and Intervention System (JAIS) risk assessment for youth, a semi-structured assessment tool to aid
with adjustments to reduce recidivism, and help youth succeed in school and in the community, was offered to
probation youth.
Girls Circle
This group is for girls who struggle with peer relationships, family issues, or impulsive and aggressive behaviors.
The Girls Circle is identified as a skill-building support group. The girls who attend examine their thoughts, beliefs,
and actions about friendships, trust, authority figures, mother/daughter relationships, sexuality, dating violence,
stress and goal-setting. Perhaps the most important lesson is that girls can be friends and supportive and that
how other girls present themselves to the world may not indicate who they really are when you get to know them.
In one of the activities, the juvenile writes a letter to her mother that does not need to be sent. The girls read their
letters out loud in group, offering each other a true glimpse into their personal lives and connecting these girls
from very different socio-economic backgrounds.
Boys Council
A group for boys that challenge myths about what it means to be a “real man”; reject violence and define power
from multiple perspectives; experience belonging and connection with adults and peers; make safe and healthy
decisions; find motivation and courage to act on their principles; become allies with girls and women.

Enrichment programming offers an array of services to youth in the facility that focus on continuing education,
career and technology training, life skills, cultural arts and diversity, and cultural awareness. Programs include
broadcast journalism, Paxton/Patterson Building Skills (introductory construction courses), landscaping skills,
poetry, origami, screen printing, Hi-Set testing (formerly GED), music and art lessons, sculpture, dance, exercise,
community service activities, and equine based group therapy. A library will be available to the youth.
The program also offers two separate canine programs that are managed in a multiagency collaborative effort
with a community based organization. The first is a therapy dog program, in which certified therapy dogs from two
separate community organizations (Love on a Leash and Therapy Dogs International) visit the juvenile facilities to
provide emotional support to the youth.
The second is a canine care and therapy dog training program, with dogs that reside full-time in the facility called
"Pawsitive Steps". This program is a multi-agency collaboration with VIP Dog Teams, Ventura County Animal
Shelter, Behavioral Health and Ventura County Office of Education to provide training, counseling, and education
to the youth working with the selected dogs. With the assistance of a certified trainer this program teaches youth
how to properly care for and train a shelter dog and how to prepare it to become a therapy dog and be ready for
adoption into the community. Combined with the physical training and care of the dogs, there are additional
program components consisting of Restorative Justice through Behavioral Health, humane education and career
pathways. The youth will earn elective school credits during their participation. Upon completion of the program,
the youth will participate in the adoption process of the dogs. This program will give the youth the opportunity to
give back to their community; enhance their social, educational and vocational skills; and promote their sense of
responsibility, kindness and compassion.
Probation will continue to engage in community outreach, provide re-entry services and enhanced dental/vision
services to the youth.

Name of Program: Evening Reporting Center Program
The ERC is an effort to address the need for community-based alternatives to detention and to assist in the
reduction of minority youth admissions into the Juvenile Facilities. There are currently two ERCs in the County of
Ventura (It should be noted that the second ERC opened in July 2017). The ERCs serve youth ages 12 ½ to 18
who reside in the designated areas of the county. Approximately 125 unduplicated youth are served a year, and
the youth attend the ERC program for approximately 20-45 business days. The ERC utilizes evidence-based
programming for the selected youth that strives to build positive personal development and professional skills
among participants (i.e. positive self-identify, hope about one’s future, reduce recidivism, educational, vocational,
social, emotional, and cultural competencies, community and civic involvement, the knowledge, skills, strategies
and attitudes necessary to have a positive foundation for change and values enabling one to develop positive
relationships with others). The programmatic goals include: Reduce recidivism; promote and implement positive
youth development; track youth who successfully complete program and continue to attend the ERC; and
enhance public safety and promote and increase academic success, character, citizenship, and healthy lifestyles.
The centers are socially and environmentally safe facilities for the youth to attend. The programs are based upon
physical, emotional, cultural, and social needs, and offered in a non-competitive environment that encourages skill
development, self-esteem, and acceptance. It also reinforces positive social values that benefit the community.
For the 2016/2017 year, 25 youth were referred to the ERC (location #1). To date, 142 youth have been referred
to the ERC. 73% of youth who have participated in the program have graduated from it. 82% of the graduating
youth have continued to attend the ERC after completion.
The main barrier encountered by the ERCs is obtaining referrals from Probation, and the Probation Officers
holding the youth accountable for completing the ordered days in a timely fashion.

Name of Program: Truancy Habits Reduced Increases Vital Education (THRIVE)
THRIVE is a collaborative effort between the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office, Ventura County Public
Defender’s Office, Ventura County Probation Agency, Ventura County Public Health, and the School Attendance
Review Boards (SARB). Habitual truants meet with school officials and county prosecutors to strategize ways to
improve class attendance. Appropriate remedial and community referral services are made available during the
SARB meetings based on the youth’s issue (i.e. homelessness, medical needs, transportation, etc.). Additionally,
the parents and the youth may be referred to the Public Health Nurse to determine if there are medical reasons
for the youth being truant. If these services prove ineffective, prosecutors may utilize formal court sanctions to
hold truants and their parents accountable.
The THRIVE program provides truancy intervention for students from 14 Ventura County School Districts which
includes 28 individual school/district sites. During the 2016-2017 school year, there were 1,323 individual students
served throughout the county. A total of 2,310 THRIVE student meetings were conducted. For program
participation, school attendance data was available for 1,305 students. For outcome reporting, a smaller number
of students met the requisite time requirements to report outcomes. The program length is restricted to the
current school year which includes the first day of school to the last day of school. Caseload capacity is
unrestricted. The program is evidence based. An improvement in attendance is the goal of this truancy program.
Before the intervention of THRIVE, students were attending school at a rate of 80.4%. After THRIVE intervention,
attendance jumped to 85.3%. The unexcused absences dropped significantly after THRIVE intervention from
14.5% to 10.3%. Both of these educational outcomes demonstrate the importance and the effectiveness of the
THRIVE program.
31 cases were referred to the Public Health Nurse (PHN). The PHN provided in home comprehensive nursing
assessments to families with children identified as at risk for truancy court. This was obtained by using the
Nursing Process (which consists of an assessment, diagnosis, plan, interventions and outcome, and evaluation).
Twenty-five youth/parents met their outcomes, which correlates to an 80% completion rate.
A significant barrier to the THRIVE program was parent participation.

Name of Program: The Repeat Offender Prevention Program (ROPP)
ROPP is an intensive, comprehensive multi-disciplinary program that provides services during the fiscal year for
up to 100 first time Formal wards, Informal probationers, and DEJ youth who are 15.5 years or younger at time of
declaration of wardship or placement on probation, and who demonstrate at least three of four risk factors
associated with chronic delinquency. The ROPP team is comprised of three intensive supervision probation
officers, two Marriage and Family Therapist, a Substance Abuse counselor, three Youth Advocates, and a
Reading Specialist. The program is guided by evidence-based practices, and the ROPP team meets weekly to
discuss the cases.
The primary objective of ROPP is to provide early identification and services to potential high risk repeat
offenders. A few of the program's broadly defined objectives include breaking the patterns of delinquency,
antisocial behavior and domestic violence, by providing services before the youth become entrenched in the
juvenile justice system.
The target population is known as the "8% problem"; minors who are identified as having specific characteristics
which make them a high risk for re-offending. The majority of the chronic recidivists are an 8% group with the
following characteristics:
(cid:9)1. 15.5 years of age or younger at the time of their initial case disposition
(cid:9)2. Declared wards of the Court at their initial system referral
(cid:9)3. Found to have significantly more problems in four composite areas:
a. Significant family problems such as domestic violence, child abuse and family criminality
b. School attendance or performance problems
c. Drug and/or alcohol use
d. Pre-Delinquent behaviors such as gangs, runaway, stealing
It was found that chronic juvenile offenders have a significantly higher rate of incarceration and recidivism. More
than half of the families of high risk youth have significant problems impeding their ability to provide adequate
supervision, structure, or support to their children. Youth are reviewed periodically throughout the time spent in
the program. The length of the program is open ended and based on the stability of the family and the sufficiency
to which the identified risk factors have been addressed.
For the 2016/2017 year, 93 youth were assigned to ROPP.

Community Based Supervision: Though Community Based Supervision Services continue to operate in largely the
same manner during the current 2017-18 fiscal year, activities will be described in the past tense for the 2016-17
reporting period.
The goal of the program was to reduce the risk of recidivism and prevent removal from the community by
providing targeted community based case management and evidence based programming. The probation officers
utilized a risk/needs screening tool to identify the youth's risk and protective factors to ensure the level of
supervision and services adequately matched the youth. Case planning was conducted with the youth and family,
to include achievement plans outlining services, supports and opportunities in the communities where youth live.
The target population was moderate-high risk probation youth. In collaboration with community based juvenile
justice provider(s), interventions included: FFT, TFCBT, Cog-SBI, TBS, CBS, Wrap, or individual therapy.
Through this strength based approach to case management, the POs used a system of graduated responses to
reward compliant behavior and/or address non-compliance. This program allowed for intensive case
management and targeted treatment plans for our moderate-high risk probation youth. It allows for capping of
caseloads to meet the needs of youth and families. Depending on the level of risk, case load sizes varied. This
was due to contact requirements, location of contacts and certain resource availability.
Research has shown focusing on the higher-risk offenders has the most impact on recidivism (Andres and
Downden 2006). Criminal justice research has shown that combining probation monitoring with effective
treatment will yield the greatest recidivism reduction. By adhering to principles of risk need responsivity with
offenders, research has shown counties can create plans and allocate appropriate funding to create quality
programming across a number of areas which result in better outcomes (4 Bonta, J., & Andrews, D.A. (2007)).

The targeted population were detained youth in the Yolo County Juvenile Detention Facility. Only the highest risk
youth were detained in this local facility as determined by a detention risk assessment and actuarial risk/needs
assessment. Further, the prevalence of trauma is historically high among this population. The funded probation
officer worked with clinical services available to the Probation Department and the Juvenile Detention Facility to
provide crisis intervention, assessment services, treatment planning, individual therapy using the principles of
CBT strategies, collaborative case management, and assist with community re-entry planning. The clinical
services assisted in the facilitation of cognitive behavioral therapy groups both in the Juvenile Detention Facility
and in the community.
The duties of this officer included assisting with Child and Family Team Meetings, and facilitating assessments for
the Mentally Ill Offender Crime Reduction Grant Mental Health Wraparound Services while youth were detained in
the Yolo County Juvenile Detention Facility.
One of the guiding principles for risk/recidivism reduction was "target interventions" which included risk, need,
responsivity, dosage and treatment. The clinician utilized these principles to address general concerns as well as
establish clinical alliances with detainees in need of more extensive mental health care. CBT principles linked to
recidivism reduction were employed.

with JJCPA and/or YOBG funds in the preceding fiscal year. For example, you might want to include

Providing alternatives to incarceration for pre and post adjudicated youth is a necessity in order to avoid
unnecessarily detaining youth. It is also cost effective, promotes community safety, and provides high structured
supervision for those youth who can be safety maintained in the community. The Yolo County Construction
Program (YCCP) supported those alternatives, including but not limited to education, vocational education, and
mental health support and interventions. The probation officer assigned to this program coordinated the youth
within the guides of the Community Based Supervision model to ensure case planning, targeting interventions and
family involvement within the YCCP Program were completed. Participant numbers were targeted to 15 at any
given time. This incorporated youth pending adjudication or in response to violation behaviors to build on the
incentives of reduced involvement with law enforcement once programming in YCCP was completed.
Yolo County re-implemented the Yolo County Construction Program comprising school coursework, vocational
education and paid pre-apprenticeship training along with targeted mental health counseling to the high risk
eligible youth under Probation's supervision. In recognition of the program's successful implementation, the
County Supervisors Association of California awarded Yolo County Probation a Challenge Award. This program of
supervision, which has been successful in Yolo County in previous years, enabled Probation Supervision to more
effectively manage the juvenile justice population in our communities without incarceration or out-of-home
placement for high risk youth, to ensure public safety.
An Electronic Monitoring Program was utilized to support supervised releases of youth at high risk to reoffend.
Research demonstrating long term effects of juvenile detention has pointed to negative long lasting
consequences for court involved youth. Therefore in line with Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative (JDAI), our
goal is to utilize alternatives to incarceration in order to meet the needs of the youth and the community, in a safe
and structured manner without inappropriately detaining youth and impacting their development. Yolo County
Probation believes utilizing appropriate resourcing and an informed and effective set of community supervision
programming alternatives to custody will reduce re-offense within the high risk juvenile probation. The goal is to
avoid further involvement in the adult criminal justice system for these youth as they age out.

programming. The goal to provide staff with the most current and up to date training needed to effectively
achieve desired outcomes continues to support ongoing systemic changes within the department. The
overarching goal and expected benefit of supporting probation staff in their mission is to reduce an offender's risk
to reoffend while under probation supervision. Funds were used to pay for training related expenses. Training in
Evidence Based Practices in relation to probation supervision will be the primary focus.

The funded supervising clinician position was not filled in FY 2016-17. However, three separate recruitments
were attempted and there is currently an open recruitment for the position as of September 15, 2017. Title 15 of
the California Code of Regulations requires various types of programs to be offered to youth within a juvenile
detention facility. Further, specific programming designed to promote social awareness and reduce recidivism
has been provided. The Probation Department is responsible for coordinating these programs, implementing
evidence-based treatment programs and other related services. These activities/programs include: volunteer
programs, recovery groups, AA/NA, church/faith services, GED testing, counseling services and groups, and
recreational activities. All youth who come through the detention facility are eligible for services. Through
detention risk screening and risk/needs assessments, only those deemed most at risk are detained in the
detention facility. The supervising clinician will facilitate targeted treatment for youth.

Yolo: Data Trend Analysis
ANALYSIS OF COUNTYWIDE TREND DATA for: Yolo
Government Code Section 30061(b)(4)(C)(iv) & WIC 1961(c)(3)
Provide a summary description or analysis, based on available information, of how the programs, placements,
services, strategies or system enhancements funded by JJCPA-YOBG have, or may have, contributed to, or
influenced, the juvenile justice data trends identified in this report.
1. Youth were kept on pre-adjudicated supervision for a longer period of time, contributing to stronger outcomes
since those youth were case managed at a lower caseload ratio as a result of 2 additional probation officer hires
in the supervision unit. Over the past reporting year, the Probation Juvenile Supervision Unit has been fully
staffed, including two vacant positions that previously prevented effective caseload distribution. Consequently, a
77% violation rate for the 2015-16 reporting year was reduced to 47% for during 2016-17.
2. A disproportionate amount of crime has been identified as being committed by a group of high-risk repeat
offenders that have been in custody for the majority of the reporting year. The re-arrest rate of 76% went down to
39% year over year, and Probation staff believe a significant factor was the extended detention of a number of
prolific youthful offenders. Another contributing factor is extended Court proceedings for transfer hearings related
to Prop 57. Several prolific offenders were held in custody for longer durations while these transfer hearings were
processed.
3. In addition, during this reporting period a vocational education program was launched to directly incentivize
increased school attendance, reflecting a high rate of engagement of the high-risk offenders. There was a greater
collaboration between Yolo’s County Office of Education and Probation to resolve conflicts on school grounds
rather than referring these matters through the Courts. YOBG funds supported service and treatment program
expansions that contributed to reductions in school expulsions, mental health crisis, truancies and violations that
directly impacted referral activities positively. Evidence of the positive impacts these services are having can be
seen in reduced re-arrest rates previously highlighted.

Stepping Stones and the Camp is a multi-tiered program that incorporates a graduated scale of supervision and
family based service interventions to Wards and their families. The focus on these programs is for youth
committed to the Maxine Singer Youth Guidance Center (MSYGC). The MSYGC (Camp) provides youth
programing and structure in order to address maladaptive behavior while simultaneously transitioning the youth
from a custodial setting back into their respective homes and communities. Prior to being committed to the
MSYGC, the youth and their family participate in a Family Intake Assessment that is administered by the Yuba
County Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor and Therapist. During the assessment, several tools are utilized
(described under Day and Evening Treatment/Day Reporting Center). The same Therapist provides probation
families the opportunity to access immediate individual and/or family therapy using a Cognitive Behavioral
Therapy approach at no cost to the family.
A Yuba County Probation Department Intervention Counselor and Drug and Alcohol Counselor collaboratively
begin to identify the needs of the youth and family, as the youth has been out of the home for a significant amount
of time. Services are offered and/or provided to the family, which could involve some form of counseling or
household items to reintegrate the youth into the home. Intensive probation supervision and support of the youth
and family by the same probation officer continue from the date of commitment to and including six months after
release from the MSYGC. Services for these youth are family-centered and include detention based as well as
intensive community based treatment, supervision, drug treatment, education, recreation and life skill building. A
full time probation officer has regular contact with the youth while in the MSYGC. The Stepping Stones program
benefits from the team approach of MSYGC Staff, the probation officer, and by families and the juvenile joining
together to develop a case plan collaboratively.
The full time Yuba County Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor facilitates drug and alcohol counseling
individually and in group sessions. Additionally, the counselor offers a Parent Support Group. This group assists
parents of youth who are committed to the MSYGC and are addicted to drugs and/or alcohol.
YOBG and JJCPA pay for a Deputy Probation Officer, and a percentage of the Certified Drug and Alcohol
Counselor, Intervention Counselor, Therapist and Supervising Deputy Probation Officer.

Any Yuba County minor who is "At Risk", on formal or informal probation and is in need of prevention or
intervention can receive services through Day and Evening Treatment. Two Yuba County Intervention Counselors
facilitate programs at the Day Reporting Program, probation department or on a school site as necessary.
Programs include Crystal Clear Communication, Anger Management, Tobacco/Drug and Alcohol Cessation,
Cyber Awareness, Theft Awareness, Community Service and Individual Counseling. Occasionally, a youth who
has been referred to the probation department may be monitored longer by the Intervention Counselor in order to
offer support and services to the youth and their families, but will not be placed on probation and need further
support.
After a youth’s Detention Hearing, the family is referred to the Probation Department for a Family Intake
Assessment administered by a full time Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor and part time Therapist. During the
assessment, several tools are utilized to determine a preliminary understanding of the needs of the youth and
family. Those tools include Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL), Youth Self Report (YSR), Adolescent Substance
Abuse Subtle Screening Inventory (SASSI) and Parent Adolescent Relationship Questionnaire (PARQ). The
youth and family are subsequently referred to appropriate programs/services based on the outcome of each
assessment tool. Many of the programs the Yuba County Probation Department offers, occurs at the Day
Reporting Program. In July 2016, the probation department partnered with Yuba-Sutter Friday Night Live (FNL)
and is utilizing an area at the FNL building, where programs are offered to youth. The Certified Drug and Alcohol
Counselor facilitates intensive individual drug and alcohol counseling utilizing a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
model. Prior to participating in individual drug and alcohol counseling, youth must first participate in a drug and
alcohol education group facilitated by a full time Intervention Counselor and the Certified Drug and Alcohol
Counselor. This program is called Sobriety Through Recovery, Outreach and Nurturing Group (STRONG).
Additionally, the part time Therapist provides individual therapy to youth and families. The Therapist provides
probation families the opportunity to access immediate individual or family therapy using a Cognitive Behavioral
Therapy approach at no cost to the family.
JJCPA/YOBG pays for one full time and one part time Intervention Counselor, a percentage of the Drug and
Alcohol Counselor, a Therapist and a Program Manager, who assist in monitoring the services being offered.
Additionally, YOBG funds paid for assessments and materials to facilitate programs, bus passes for transportation
to and from programs, and incentives for probation youth. Incentives are based on the Juvenile Response Matrix.
The matrix includes graduated sanctions for technical probation violations and incentives to positively reinforce
positive behavior.

Any Yuba County minor, whether on probation or not, is eligible for Drug and Alcohol treatment following a
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach. All services will be delivered at the Maxine Singer Youth Guidance
Center, Day Reporting Center, school site or the probation department. A Yuba County Probation Department
Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor facilitates intensive individual drug and alcohol counseling utilizing a
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy model. Prior to participating in individual drug and alcohol counseling, youth must
first participate in a drug and alcohol education group facilitated by a full time Intervention Counselor and the
Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor. This program is called Sobriety Through Recovery, Outreach and
Nurturing Group (STRONG). This is a four week program designed to ensure youth are prepared for intensive
drug and alcohol counseling with the Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor.
The Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor utilizes The Abuse or Addiction book published by the Change
Companies, which is an Evidence Based Program, and is utilized to facilitate classes. Furthermore, the counselor
will use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Adolescents with Co-Occurring Mental Health and Substance Use
Disorders. The counselor utilizes the Matrix Model for Teens and Young Adults and Adolescent Recovery Plan,
The Help Series Hazelden programs. All of which are Evidence Based Programs.
By providing drug and alcohol counseling, we have improved youth capacities to be successful on probation by
addressing their substance abuse after being placed on probation.
YOBG funds pay for the Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor and materials to facilitate the programs (books,
testing, assessments, etc.). Additionally, YOBG funds were utilized to provide incentives and/or snacks and bus
passes for youth to get to and from treatment.

All minor's who are referred to the probation department, regardless of their offenses, shall have a formal
Risk/Needs Assessment completed to aid in determining the disposition of the case. The Positive Achievement
Change Tool (PACT) by Noble is an Evidence Based Program utilized to assess the needs/risks of a minor. By
completing the evidence based risk/needs assessment on all minors referred to the probation department, the
deputy probation officer will be able to determine the appropriate steps to take in order to address the needs of
the minor and reduce recidivism. The PACT determines a minor's level of risk to reoffend; identifies the risk and
protective factors linked to criminal behavior so that the rehabilitative effort can be tailored to address the minor's
unique criminogenic needs; pre-populates an automated and customizable case plan focused on reducing risk
factors and increasing protective factors; and allows managers to run reports to see changes in risk/protective
factors over time. Every juvenile that enters the juvenile justice system is assessed with the PACT, whether it be
the pre-screen or the full screen. The PACT revitalizes the role and responsibilities of the probation officer from
that of one who monitors sanctions, to that of one who is provided a working tool to assist while modeling pro-
social behavior and one who will continue to work with the juvenile and the juvenile's family to reduce the
juvenile's risk to re-offend. The use of Risk/Need assessments to identify the risk factors and specific needs of
each juvenile, and case planning to address those needs, while supporting and building upon a juvenile’s
identified protective factors are evidence-based practices. An updated PACT is completed no less than every six
months for a juvenile that is under any type of probation supervision.
YOBG funding pays for the contracted juvenile Assessment licensing fees through Noble Software Group.

Yuba: Data Trend Analysis
ANALYSIS OF COUNTYWIDE TREND DATA for: Yuba
Government Code Section 30061(b)(4)(C)(iv) & WIC Section 1961(c)(3)
Provide a summary description or analysis, based on available information, of how the programs, placements,
services, strategies or system enhancements funded by JJCPA-YOBG have, or may have, contributed to, or
influenced, the juvenile justice data trends identified in this report.
Since the commencement of YOBG and JJCPA funding, Yuba County Probation has seen a reduction in juvenile
arrests, petitions being filed and youth under some form of probation supervision. In 2016, there were 193
juvenile arrests. That number has been significantly reduced since 2008; where there were 422 juvenile arrests.
In 2016, there were 80 youth placed on some form of probation supervision (Wardship, Probation without
Wardship, Deferred Entry of Judgment and Informal Probation). In 2008, there were 180 youth placed on some
form of probation supervision. In reviewing the types of probation supervision, there was a significant discrepancy
in youth placed on Informal Probation (2008 - 74 youth; 2016 - 3 youth). In 2008/2009, the Yuba County
Probation Department implemented a validated Risk and Needs Assessment Tool to be utilized on all youth
referred to the probation department. In reviewing the statistical data, it is clear that by utilizing the assessment
tool, the probation department was able to properly identify youth who required probation/court intervention and
what that intervention should include; therefore, reducing the number of youth being unnecessarily placed on
probation. Additionally, Yuba County Probation has sent two youth to the Department of Juvenile Justice since
2005 (2014 being the last commitment). Youth who commit an offense which does not fall under Section 707(b)
of the W&I and are no longer eligible for DJJ facilities, or would benefit from local services and supervision, are
offered services in two areas. The first area would be a 365 day commitment to the Maxine Singer Youth
Guidance Center (MSYGC). The second would be out of home placement in a foster or group home. By
assessing youth's needs with the assessment tool, we have deterred unnecessary commitments to DJJ.
Although Yuba County Probation does not have a formal diversion program, the majority of the referrals are
handled within the department with a Counsel and Release and more often than not, the case is not closed
without addressing the needs of the youth and their family. This is accomplished with a referral to an internal
program/counseling, another county agency, or a community based program.
In addition to utilizing the Risk and Needs Assessment Tool, the probation departments Certified Drug and
Alcohol Counselor and Therapist, complete a comprehensive Family Intake Assessment, by utilizing various tools
on youth and families who are going through the Court system. Additionally, the probation department has
intensive case management/supervision of high risk needs youth and their families and has implemented an
Incentives and Sanctions Matrix for youth under probation supervision. The probation department provides a
number of programs; including, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Adolescents with Co-Occurring Mental Health
and Substance Use Disorders, Individual and Family Therapy, Crystal Clear Communication, Anger Management,
Tobacco/Drug and Alcohol Cessation, Cyber Awareness, Theft Awareness and Community Service. All Yuba
County programming is available to the community, not just probation involved youth and families, free of charge,
due to YOBG and JJCPA funding. Referrals for programming are received from local schools, law enforcement,
other county agencies and self-referrals.
Due in part to all of the above, Yuba County Probation has seen great success in reducing the number of youth
involved in the juvenile justice system, and an even greater reduction in the number of youth brought before the
Juvenile Court, and subsequently placed on some type of probation supervision.

(See page ii of the Executive Summary)
1950. The purpose of this chapter is to enhance the capacity of local communities to
implement an effective continuum of response to juvenile crime and delinquency.
1951. (a) There is hereby established the Youthful Offender Block Grant Fund.
(b) Allocations from the Youthful Offender Block Grant Fund shall be used to enhance
the capacity of county probation, mental health, drug and alcohol, and other county
departments to provide appropriate rehabilitative and supervision services to youthful
offenders subject to Sections 731.1, 733, 1766, and 1767.35. Counties, in expending
the Youthful Offender Block Grant allocation, shall provide all necessary services
related to the custody and parole of the offenders.
(c) The county of commitment is relieved of obligation for any payment to the state
pursuant to Section 912 for each offender who is not committed to the custody of the
state solely pursuant to subdivision (c) of Section 733, and for each offender who is
supervised by the county of commitment pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 1766 or

implementation of the act that added this chapter. This amount is a one-time allocation
and shall not be built into the base described in subdivision (a) of Section 1953 unless
the Department of Finance finds a continuation of unforeseen circumstances. A county
that wishes to seek funds from this reserved amount shall submit a request to the
Corrections Standards Authority that outlines the unusual circumstances that exist in the
JJCPA-YOBG Leg Report 2018 A-6 Appendices
county and why the county’s Youthful Offender Block Grant is inadequate to meet the
county financial needs to accommodate and supervise youthful offenders pursuant to
the act that added this chapter. The Corrections Standards Authority shall submit its
recommendation to the Department of Finance for approval.
(b) Any portion of the funds described in paragraph (3) of subdivision (a) that is unused

JJCPA-YOBG Leg Report 2018 A-7 Appendices
1955. (a) The allocation amount for each county from the Youthful Offender Block Grant
Fund for offenders subject to Sections 733, 1766, and 1767.35 shall be allocated in four
equal installments, to be paid in September, December, March, and June of each fiscal
year, until June 30, 2013. Commencing with the 2013–14 fiscal year, the allocation
amount for each county from the Youthful Offender Block Grant Special Account
established in paragraph (2) of subdivision (c) of Section 30025 of the Government
Code for offenders subject to Sections 733, 1766, and 1767.35 shall be allocated in
monthly installments. In each fiscal year, the allocation amount shall be determined as

(1) Fifty percent based on the number of the county’s juvenile felony court dispositions,
calculated as a percentage of the state total. By July 10 of each year, the Department of
Justice shall provide to the Department of Finance the number of juvenile felony court
dispositions for each county for the previous calendar year.

calculated as a percentage of the state total.
(b) Each county shall receive a minimum block grant allocation of fifty-eight thousand

Finance, consistent with the ADP methodology and fiscal parameters used in Sections
1952, 1953, and 1953.5, for the corresponding fiscal year.
1960. The Legislature finds and declares that local youthful offender justice programs,
including both custodial and noncustodial corrective services, are better suited to
provide rehabilitative services for certain youthful offenders than state-operated
facilities. Local communities are better able than the state to provide these offenders
with the programs they require, in closer proximity to their families and communities,
including, but not limited to, all of the following:
(a) Implementing risk and needs assessment tools and evaluations to assist in the
identification of appropriate youthful offender dispositions and reentry plans.
