"... :!,' ~5~sS the country, many ccil11ffii.mities have failed in efforts to establish methods to combat jliv.eyile delinquency,y Dealing with juvenile delinquency requires multiple community partners wh6'm~t concentrate on numerous levels to address a variety of delinquency issues and prevention alterna~ves. Prior prevention efforts have often failed to recognize and implement strategies to deal with multiple at-risk behaviors. The identification of at-risk juveniles and solutions to tackle thei:r..Iriultiple issues are numerous and complex. Prevention is the key to averting juvenile deliriquency, A combination of dedicated staff, willing partners and a comprehensive and focused plan to address the needs of these juveniles and their families are key to addressing this complex issue. Juvenile delinquency preven1ion calls for having a multi-faceted approach to bring juvenile delinquency prevention to fruition. Since 1985 the CCSO has been working with various state agencies and NGOs on juvenile delinquency prevention. Even with a long history of collaborative partnerships, gaps exist within the juvenile delinquency prevention arena. The community faces has challenges in reaching an increased level of prevention and provide Collier County JAG Local Standard Narrative Page I of 5 Agenda Item No. 16J2 June 22, 2010 Page 5 of 13 adequate services to youth and families in need of prevention and diversion. The gap can be filled through partnerships and continued funding which brings local law enforcement and NGOs together under a multi-faceted research based effort to provide wraparound services to the juveniles and families in need. CCSO has implemented a number of successful youth programs over the past 20 years. Youth Relations Deputies were placed in the school setting in the late 1970's to foster a better working relationship with the schools in recognizing youth with at-risk behaviors. La1er the CCSO implemented several additional programs dealing with delinquency issues. A SHOCAP (Serious Habitual Offender Comprehensive Action Plan) program was implemented to supervise serious juvenile habitual offenders. As a result of the success with the SHOCAP program, a JAM (Juvenile Arrest and Monitoring) program was initiatedto monitor first time offenders on probation. A Street Gang Unit was started to combat and prevent juvenile criminal street gang activity. A Juvenile Delinquency/Gang Prevention prograIn was developel!'i~ a resource for pre- arrest juveniles exhibiting at-risk behaviors such as truancy, drug use, gitii~<.wvolvement, etc. This program consists of mentoring the at-risk ju.yeniles while providing 'edW,;atipn for the juveniles and parents. A diversion program called Civil Citation is also in plac&!f~Fan al1ernate to arrest for minor juvenile offenses. All of the referetj.b~ ~uccessful juvenile programs were begun with the help of state or federal grant funds. i;ii{j'S1.. In addition, CCSO has also beerl~~J~Fd with the C61l.ie.r County Drug Court. This program closely supervises youth on prob~Eon.'Wil.~substance ai5Ulle'issues. In the Drug Court Program, services are being provided and'.accolint~iljty measures are in place. With the SHOCAP, JAM, and Civil Cit~tion Programs4heFl}iire alstl;cllpeCific accountability measures in place. Although there ar<:soD1:!j;~~rvices available, without specific sanctions requiring them to receive services, somejuvenileS";~ not have their issues addressed and their needs will remain unmet. There are currently no av~es available for at-risk underserved youth and families who have not yet been placedi#~i.the jiiMenile court system and who need services. "'; ".'.'r~"'.." .. .., CCSO needs~?tinue<f'fin1ding for a case management program that includes services from a collaborative netWork o[colDl11unity based partners who have developed a multi-faceted intervention strategy designed to serYX9.~the individualized needs of the targeted at-risk youth and thelr~ilies. A comprellensive:ahion plan, with accountability measures, will insure that services arebeipg directed ill. the right area. This juvenile delinquency prevention initiative can effectively targetan emerging problem and lessen the burden on the criminal justice system and the courts. PROJECT SUMMARY: Numerous juvenile delinquency prevention efforts often fail to successfully recognize and implement strategies to deal with multiple at-risk behaviors. CCSO has implemen1ed a wrap around/case management program that includes available services from a collaborative network of corrununity based partners created to foster a multi-faceted intervention strategy designed to service the individualized needs of the targeted at-risk youth and their families. The CCSO's main goal is to reduce juvenile risk factors by creating a comprehensive approach that will CoJlier County JAG Local Standard Narrative Page 2 of5 Agenda Item No. 16J2 June 22, 2010 Page 6 of 13 provide an opportunity for targeted at-risk juveniles to be identified early, assessed quickly, and receive the services they need before their problems spiral out of control and increase delinquent behavior. Given the large population increases in Florida and the current economic climate, there are multiple strains on the state system. The increasing incidence of juveniles' at-risk behavior has placed a strain on existing social and health services within the community. Families that are not part of the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) or the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) system have increasing difficulty accessing publ!x,.services due to funding cuts and long waiting lists. The lack of community education an~?l2tfVities for juveniles that promote positive social behavior are serious concerns. fqr.~, Ai+V The Collier County plan known as Juvenile A1 Ri~Com';;mpsive Action Program (JARCAP) utilizes a model that can intervene at an ~il!tti~ stage and~tg1;ide the youth and family with much ~eeded resources. .

Based on recent succe~ses with the JARCAP program, CCSO seeks funding to continue this innovative,/prevention focused juvenile delinquency and youth violence reduction case management program to provIde juveniles and families with the resources necessary to foster the development of prod~f~yii'iand responsible citizens. The program and services will address those youth who are m~t likely to become chronic juvenile offenders as determined by an assessment that indicates that the youth have multiple risk factors present in their life including, but not limited to; significant school troubles; significant family troubles; drug/alcohol use; and pre-delinquent behavior. One of the goals of this at-risk program is that a majority of youth served should remain crime-free while in the program and six months thereafter. The CCSO will provide access to wraparound/case management services for targeted youth and families with the capability of providing resources to address the multiple risk factors. The Delinquency Prevention Specialist (DPS) (a licensed mental health counselor) and JAR Collier County JAG Local Standard Narrative Page 3 of5 Agenda Item No. 16J2 June 22, 2010 Page 7 of 13 Deputy are critical to leading the collaborative, community-based interagency team to reach goals established for the youth and their families. Some of the prevention services coordinated through the DPS, Deputy and community service providers include, but not be limited to, mentoring, parenting skills education, individuaVfamily counseling, random drug screening, drug counseling, gang awareness education, community work projects, and truancy educa1ion awareness. Individualized case plans are formulated and followed up on to ensure the recommended services are being received. The Collier County Juveniles At-Risk Comprehensive Acti<:ln Program (JARCAP) program will focus on youth between the ages of 6 and 16 witlfWeach youth expected to participate in the the program for 30-90 days. The program will reduce the risk factors present in ~""..-.'.'.'",::::,,'.'.'" youth served through educating the parents and juveniles in referencS;:to the issues that surround the at-risk behavior, explaining possible consequences, and providing services needed as outlined in a case management plan.

Flortda- Department of Juvenile Justice, State Attorney's Office, the Judiciary, and parents, to identify youth with multiple risk factors in need of services. When researching the develQpment of this program, CCSO staff referred to the research- based OJJDP Publicatioii~Wrapal'ound/Case Management program. The CCSO has formed collaborative p~~rships wi~jpcal ne~Ol."k sc:rvice providers to establish a program that will address currentobj;tacl~~:- i.e;(;,~~et services, education, and accountability. The program has been developed and implemented:~th a strong focus on addressing truant/at risk behavior by ensuring family accountabIlity for t~juvenile's behavior. The case management provided by the JAR Deputy and the DPg;!will be the key to filling those missing links ofunmet services. This program has a p~evention focus which is critical to continued success. Youth need to be reached prior to arresUReaching at-risk juveniles and their families is significant and the key to redirecting potential criminal tendencies. The DPS will become immediately involved to develop a case plan for the specialized needs of the juvenile and his/her family. A key element of the program is the collaborative effort between the DPS and the CCSO JAR Deputy in the accountability of seeing that any family member's criminal activity that is detrimental to the child/youth, such as substance abuse, child neglect/abuse, domestic violence, etc., is addressed. As a result of an assessment, services such as mental illness and medical condition services, substance abuse treatment, and social services will be provided. The DPS and the JAR Deputy will also be responsible for following up on the case plan to assure that services are being met. In the event that the case plan is not being followed, accountability measures will be put in place - i.e. referral to Truancy Court or a CINS/FINS Collier County JAG Local Standard Narrative Page 4 of 5 Agenda Item No. 16J2 June 22, 2010 Page 8 of 13 (Children in Need of ServicesIFamilies in Needs of Services) petition filed to allow a Judge to review and decide if services need to be mandated by a court order. At that time, the DPS and the JAR Deputy, along with a panel of community partners including the Judge, will work as a team to assure accountability. The DPS and JAR Deputy utilize the CCSO Youth Tracking System (YTS) to track juveniles in all CCSO youth related prevention and enforcement programs The Personnel costs related to the implementation of this p~~am will be $46,182 in part-time Salaries and Benefits for a JAR Deputy; $68,100 in Conu:ilffiiill Services for one DPS; $5,000 in Expenses for specialized training and supplies; total regli~! is $119,282. /iif?'%J;%6" /,.," '..1'.' ;;:gj; Collier County JAG Local Standard Narrative Page 5 of5 Budget Worksheet Complete the budget worksheet, with computations.
