Prevention
- The Office of Prevention and Victim Services is the first service component on the Department’s continuum of services. Our goal is to intervene early in the lives of at-risk youth and decrease the chance of juvenile arrest and recidivism.
- Our Office is charged with implementing programs, strategies, initiatives, and networks designed to prevent children from making contact with the juvenile justice system.
- Our office also offers diversion and intervention services in an effort to keep children from penetrating deeper into the system.
- We also foster partnerships with community stakeholders, faith-based organizations and volunteers.
