OUTREACH DETENTION |
|
|
This program provides Outreach workers to meet with
youths at home, school, work and in the community for up to six days a week to
ensure compliance with court orders. They also work with the youth and
their families in an effort to prevent the youth from having additional court
involvement. Most all of the youth ordered by the Court to
participate with the Outreach program have offenses for which they could have
been placed in secure detention.
|
|
INTENSIVE SUPERVISION |
|
|
This program offers the same basic services as the Outreach
Detention program, but is designed to work with youth returning home from State
care or other special placements.
|
|
ELECTRONIC MONITORING |
|
|
This program monitors youths ordered by the Court to home
confinement through the use of an electronic device attached to the youth's
ankle. Staff monitor the youth's activity daily.
|
|
WEEKENDERS PROGRAM |
|
|
This program is designed to supervise youths ordered by the Court
to complete a certain number of days/hours of community service in lieu of
placement in secure detention. DAP staff arrange the community service
activities, transport the youth to and from the community service site and
supervise the youth during the activity.
|
|
COMMUNITY SERVICE |
|
|
This program is similar to the Weekenders program, but the youth
who are ordered by the Court to complete community service hours are responsible
for completing the hours on their own. DAP staff arrange a community
service site for the youth, monitor the youth's progress through regular contact
with the site and report any problems or completions to the Court.
|
|
SHOPLIFTERS ALTERNATIVES |
|
|
DAP offers the Y.E.S. (Youth Educational Shoplifting) Program to
youth who have been charged with a shoplifting offense. This
self-administered test is completed by the youth and then scored by DAP staff.
The program's Psychological Profile Analysis and Risk Assessment are designed to
identify youth who are at risk of committing further shoplifting offenses.
|
|
DRUG SCREENS |
|
|
DAP makes funding available to the Court Service Units to cover
the costs of drug urinalysis for Court involved youths in order to determine
substance use/abuse. The Courts use this information to order the youth
into appropriate services based on their needs.
