SECTION II - PROJECT SUMMARY
1. PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION (Limit 1 page)
The 19'h Judicial District has had an increase in juvenile delinquency filings over the last year as
compared to the number filed in 2006. In comparing data provided by the State Court Administrators
Office and the Office of Probation Services, this ranks the 19th Judicial District fifth in the State of
Colorado behind the 18th (Arapahoe/Douglas/Elbert/Lincoln Counties). 4th(El Paso/Elbert Counties),2"d
(Denver Juvenile), and Ist (Jefferson/Gilpin Counties) Judicial Districts for the number of delinquency
filings for FY 2007. (18th: 2167, 4th: 1903, 2"d: 1804, 1st: 1419, and 19th: 1090) The Probation
Departments had a similar breakdown of new probation clients for FY2007. (18th: 994, 2n°: 753, 1st: 664,
17t Adams/Broomfield: 573, and 19th: 556)
According to the Colorado Department of Education, Weld County has a total of 35, 648 students
attending schools within its geographical boundaries. One of the risk factors for delinquency is truancy;
according to data from the State Court Administrators Office, the 19th Judicial District was ranked 3`d
(372) in the State for truancy filings within the court system behind the 1st (495) and 2"d (476) Judicial
Districts. Interestingly the overall student population for these districts total 86,549 (1st)and 73,053 (2"d)
students which is double the student population within this district. Other student populations for
comparison purposes: 4th (108,660), 18th (163,715), and 17th(75,780).
In addition to truancy, another risk factor for delinquency is related to household income. Per the
Colorado Department of Education, 42.41% of the students in Weld County qualify for the free or
reduced lunch program. For comparison purposes, Arapahoe (33.47%), El Paso (29.76%), Jefferson
(24.94%),and Adams (41.48%) have fewer students that qualify.
The demographical breakdowns of the juvenile population to be served by the diversion program include
juvenile's ages 10-17 based on prosecution eligibility. From September 2005 through December 2007,the
diversion program has supervised 149 (45%)females and 180 (55%)males in the delinquency program. The
ethnic breakdowns of the juveniles participating in both programs are as follows based on self-report: 194
(59%) White/non-Hispanic, 119 (36%) Hispanic, 20 (6%)Bi-Racial, 2 African American and 3 American
Indian. The gender and ethnic numbers are in contrast with the numbers reported by the State of Colorado,
specifically for the Weld County Probation Department; of their"new clients" in FY2007 93%were Caucasian,
7%were Hispanic; 28% were female and 72%were male.
The totals for the students registered in the Weld County School Districts are as follows: 19,615 (55%)
White/non-Hispanic, 15,051 (42%) Hispanic, 365 (1%) Asian/Pacific Islanders, 374 (1%) African Americans,
and 243 (<1%) American Indians; 17,236 (48%) females and 18,412 (52%) males. The diversion numbers
more align with the total school districts populations.
As the numbers indicate, Weld County has an alarming number of juvenile delinquency and truancy
filings within the court system in comparison to the much larger judicial districts that have been
mentioned above. Since September 2005, the diversion program has provided case management for 329
juveniles between the ages of 10-17 facing their first non-violent criminal offense allowing the focus of
the formal criminal justice agencies to remain on juveniles at greater risk of committing further criminal
offenses against the community. The diversion program should continue to lower the number of
minimum risk juveniles prosecuted by the District Attorney's Office, sentenced by the Magistrate, and
supervised by the Probation Department. Supervision of the juveniles in the diversion program prevents
labeling them as delinquents, allows them to repair the harm caused to the community, and focus on their
future rather than on their past behavior.

2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION (Limit 2 pages)
The Weld County District Attorney's Diversion program has been diverting first-time juvenile offenders
from the traditional court system since August 2005. The basic premise of the program is to address the
criminal behavior in a timely and restorative manner to prevent the juveniles from future
criminal/delinquent behavior and further penetrating the criminal justice system. The program is not
implementing an exact replica of an existing program; however, the Model Programs Guide (MPG)
recommended basic case management and restorative justice principles for this population. We have
been using these principles since the implementation of the program.
Local law enforcement agencies refer cases to the Chief Deputy District Attorney for a filing decision,
the case is reviewed for legal sufficiency for prosecution, based on non-violent charges and the offense
being the first for the juvenile, the case is given to the Diversion Director for assignment and scheduling
of an intake interview with the Case Manager. Usually, this is done pre-filing; however, on occasion
cases have been referred following an initial court appearance.
Upon intake, criteria for acceptance includes the juvenile's level of responsibility for their behavior,
issues with the juvenile that prevent the diversion program from being the appropriate agency to address
them, level of parental involvement, attitude and an absence of active gang affiliation.
If accepted into the program, individualized contracts (agreements) are developed. The 90-day
agreements include balanced and restorative sanctions to hold the juvenile accountable for their
behavior, reconnect them with their community, address their mental health and/or substance abuse
issues, and encourage their future aspirations toward positive outcomes. Extensions of the 90-day
agreements are granted as needed. Successful completion of the agreements are determined by the
juvenile having provided proof that the conditions have been complied with during the expected time
frames with no new law violations resulting in a delinquency filing.
All of the agreements will include community service, required school attendance, and restitution if
requested. In addition, following an initial screening substance abuse and/or mental health treatment,
family counseling/therapy, anger management, and parenting courses may be required. (The MAYSI-2
is available to the diversion program for use should the juvenile be guarded or additional
screening/follow up assessment is indicated.) The juveniles and their parents/guardians are referred to
outside community agencies for therapeutic services.
In our current program we have discovered a need to educate the parents on the importance and
obligation for school attendance, specifically among our Hispanic/Latino population. Based on the
parent's own experiences with school, an education was a privilege after a certain grade or an emphasis
has not been placed on the importance of graduating from high school, little encouragement has been
given to the students to attend. Assigning projects to the students to explore the importance of an
education for their future endeavors are given as a"sanction" in the program.
The diversion program provides an educational class to the juvenile participants that are attending high
school; parents are encouraged to attend with their child. Issues discussed include communication
skills, peer pressure, substance use, suicide education/prevention, anger management, "normal" teenage
emotions, victim empathy, healthy non-violent relationships, and life skills such as budgeting and
employment/interviewing skills.
In addition, we have developed a Restorative Justice based Shoplifting Conference, currently being
facilitated by our Tracker/Case Manager. This Conference is held on a monthly basis with the juveniles
in the diversion program that have committed a shoplifting offense, their parents/guardians, and a local
retail representative(s)to address the harm caused by their behavior. To date, only 2 out of the estimated
120 juveniles that have attended the conference have committed new law violations; however, only one
was for another shoplifting offense. The Tracker/Case Manager has also facilitated other Restorative
Justice Conferences when appropriate, with the offenders participating in diversion and the victims of
their behavior.
2008-09 State Juvenile Diversion Application 11-07 -3 -
If the juvenile fails to comply with the agreement due to new criminal activity or do not complete the
requirements, the case is returned to the Deputy District Attorney for the filing of formal charges. As a
matter of graduated sanctions, the juveniles are now required to proceed through the court process and
face the consequences of their initial criminal behavior and the issue of non-compliance with the
diversion program.
The Director and Case Manager provide case management; maintain records, supervision, and
monitoring for compliance with the agreements. In addition, the Director is responsible for the
collection and reporting of data.
As the diversion program expands and issues arise, modifications to supervision or classes will be made.
The areas of delinquency diversion are continually being studied, the Director routinely looks for
updated information regarding how to improve the program for the juveniles in the community and
provide a positive experience while holding the juveniles accountable for their criminal behavior. The
bottom-line is prevention, preventing this identified group of juveniles from entering further into the
criminal justice system.

3. POPULATION TO BE SERVED (Limit ''/n page)
Based on the demographic data from the last two years since the diversion programs implementation,the
gender and ethnic backgrounds of the participants have remained stable and consistent with the
demographics from the Colorado Department of Education specific to Weld County. The numbers
estimated below for the juveniles to be served by this grant award are consistent with the overall
demographics for the County.
Number of Juveniles Targeted to be Served
White Black Hispanic Asian/Pacific Native Other/ Total
Islander American Unknown
Males 42 33 3 78 +/-
Females 40 30 2 72+/-
Total 82 63 5 150
Percent of Total to be Served with Limited English Proficiency: 25%
There has been an increasing need for the current Spanish-Speaking interpreter to translate for
appointments, phone calls, and paperwork for both the juveniles and their parents or guardians. The
grant request for the interpreter up to 20 hours a week will accommodate this increased need and
expanded job responsibilities.
So far, the program has not needed to create gender specific programming; however, coordination with
other community programs that offer specific trainings/classes geared toward gender specific issues are
utilized. As the caseload increases and gender specific issues become more prevalent, training will be
sought and additional programming implemented to meet the needs.
Training regarding cultural sensitivity has been provided and attended by two of the staff members; this
training will be sought for the additional staff members and will continue for all employees as needed.

4. APPLICANT AGENCY CAPACITY (Limit 1/2 page)
The mission of the diversion program is to divert non-violent, first-time juvenile offenders from the
traditional court system. The program has diverted 329 juveniles from the traditional court system since
September 2005.
The program "employs"the Director, a Case Manager, and a Tracker. The Tracker works part-time for
the diversion program to facilitate the Restorative Justice programming and assists in teaching the life
skills class offered by the program. The Director earned Bachelors Degrees in Human Development and
Family Studies with an emphasis in Adolescence (BS) and Business Administration (BA), her
professional history includes employment with the State of Colorado and the United States Government
as a probation and parole officer from 1993 to 2005 until she was hired by the District Attorney to
implement this program. The Case Manager has a Bachelors Degree in Human Development and
Family Studies with an emphasis in Youth and Families (BS), her professional career has included
employment by the Sate of Colorado as a probation officer and as a counselor/case manager with a
residential treatment facility for juvenile substance abusers. The Tracker has a Bachelors Degree in
Sociology (BA), his professional career has included employment with a residential treatment center.
He has volunteered with the University of Colorado and Longmont's Restorative Justice Programs for
several years and has facilitated numerous conferences.
Currently,the Juvenile Assessment Center and the Multi-Disciplinary Youth Assessment Team(MYAT)
are providing assessments and referrals to non-adjudicated and truant juveniles in the community;
however, of the juveniles that were accepted into the diversion program less than 10% have been
screened by these programs. The District Attorney's Office has the authority to divert a criminal case
from the traditional court system; however, these other agencies do not have this authority. Based on the
numbers and purpose,the diversion program is not duplicating services with these other agencies.
As requested see the organizational chart and job descriptions for the diversion program in Section IX,
number 1 and 2.

5. COMMUNITY COLLABORATION & SUPPORT (Limit 1/2 page)
Based on our community size and structure,the diversion program is working and/or attending meetings
with the following local agencies: SB94, HB1451, the 19th Judicial District Probation Department, the
Weld County Department of Social Services, the Juvenile Assessment Center, the Department of
Employment Services, local School Districts, local law enforcement agencies, the City of Greeley's
Youth Enrichment Office, Suicide Education and Support Services, local mental health and substance
abuse treatment agencies, the Girl Scouts of America, the Boys and Girls Clubs, and any other agency
available to address the needs or issues with the juvenile and their family.
Specifically, the diversion program is working with the City of Greeley's Youth Enrichment Office. The
juveniles can take advantage of city programming which includes the activities offered through the recreation
department such as tutoring, locations for the neutral setting needed for the restorative justice conferences and
study halls as well as a community service site for their diversion agreements.
The Juvenile Assessment Center has collaborative programming offered at the Center specifically, substance
abuse and anger management classes for juveniles. The juveniles participating in the diversion program can
participate in this programming.
The Girl Scouts of America have arranged to provide classes to the females participating in the diversion
program on a weekly basis beginning in the Spring of 2008. Depending on availability these classes will
continue throughout the grant period.
The Department of Employment Services has worked with a number of our program participants and will
continue to receive referrals for juveniles looking to achieve their GED and employment assistance. In
addition, the parents/guardians have been referred to address their own educational and employment needs.
See attached letters of support below this section.

To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing as the judicial officer who hears juvenile delinquency and truancy matters in
this district for 99% of the cases. It is my belief that we owe extra time and attention to our young
people in programs that make sense not only as effective but on a cost based approach. The
program that I am recommending to you today is the diversion program currently run by the Weld
District Attorney.
My recommendation for continued and increased funding if available is based on the
documented success as measured by the lack of recidivism experienced with juveniles who enter the
program. As well,the other criterion is that it meets the individual needs of the young person
involved as well as the needs of the community. In the last years,the program has been an
outstanding success with delinquency cases.
The program allows juveniles charged with crimes to be accountable in a quicker manner
than through the court process. It also allows the juvenile to understand that there are
consequences to their behavior. This is an immediate impact to the truancy docket because based
on the numbers,it also saves the funding of at least two other deputy district attorneys and the
clerical staff necessary to prosecute these cases.
I would urge that you continue the funding to this worthy program.
Yours truly,

This letter is on behalf of the of the Weld County District Attorney's office
Diversion program. I continue to be an advocate for this program. I have been an
employee of the Colorado Judicial Department for the last eighteen and this
program has been one of the most successful programs that I have observed over
that period of time. This program is extremely valuable to the 19th Judicial
District and specifically to the probation department here.
Juvenile probation caseloads continue to rise in this Judicial District and our
juvenile probation officer's caseloads have reached the point in which they border
on the unmanageable. This Diversion program diverts many of the lower risk
youth from reaching our department so that we can concentrate on supervising the
higher risk delinquent youth. Diversion is able to work with many of these
juveniles who with some guidance, supervision and educational programming can
avoid returning to the Judicial system altogether.
The statistics have shown how successful this program continues to be here in
Weld County. Over the last twelve months this program has diverted 156
juveniles from being placed on probation. Over that same period of time 116
youth (94%) have successfully completed the program. Only eight juveniles went
on to further Court involvement and or probation. They currently are supervising
32 juveniles. Additionally, 96% of the juveniles completing the program have not
committed new law violations at the six month, one year, and two years marks.
I have been very impressed with the 19th Judicial Districts' Diversion program.
Particularly with the leadership of District Attorney, Ken Buck and Diversion
Director, Kim Kinne. I enthusiastically support this program.
Sincerely,
Kevin A. Nelan

SECTION III- PAST PERFORMANCE
(For Continuation Applications Only)
The previous goal was achieved by diverting 156 juveniles from the traditional court system for the
calendar year 2007. Through the grant opportunity, restorative justice programming has continued and
new projects are under development. Unfortunately, not all of the programs objectives were the same as
other collaborative agencies so programming that we would have liked to implement have been delayed
given the lack of key participant's availability.
With regards to program specific evaluations, forms were sent to the parents/guardians and juveniles
upon completion of the program with a self-addressed stamped envelope, less than 2%were returned. Of
the forms returned, feedback provided was evaluated and changes to the program were made if
appropriate.
To date, the diversion program has diverted 329 juveniles from the traditional court system since
September 2005. On average 98% of the juveniles have successfully completed their agreements and
96% have not committed new law violations resulting in juvenile filings over the course of 6-months, 1-
year, and 2-year milestones.
Unintended outcomes, results, and lessons teamed over the course of the last two years include the
effectiveness of the restorative justice shoplifting conference and the low recidivism rate of those
juveniles that have successfully completed the program.

2008-09 State Juvenile Diversion Application 11-07 '-4411
SECTION IV- PROJECT EVALUATION
Statistical data is categorized and recorded as cases are referred, accepted, and terminated within the
diversion program. The Director will be logging data into an Excel spreadsheet to track demographic
information, referrals to the program, acceptance into the program,conditions of agreements,referrals to
community agencies, number of hours of community service assigned/completed, amounts of restitution
collected, educational/life skills class attendance, restorative justice conferencing attendance,
termination/completion dates, criminal or truancy case filings, and any other data that may be relevant to
measure whether or not a portion of the program needs to be implemented, modified, or removed.
Upon successful completion of the program,evaluations/feedback is requested by the juveniles and their
parents/guardians. This information is used to evaluate the program and its effectiveness. Upon receipt,
changes or modifications are made if appropriate.
Based on the need to verify that the juveniles have not committed new criminal offenses, the District
Attorney's database will used to cross-reference that the juveniles have not had juvenile petitions filed
against them due to new criminal behavior.
If a component of the diversion program appears to have a pattern of"failure" or ineffectiveness the
reasons for potential problems will be evaluated and modifications made accordingly. It is the belief of
the diversion program that there will always be a need to evaluate and modify the program based on new
research or data,trends, and/or community needs.
As stated previously, the outcome measures in relation to the goals and objectives for the diversion
program will be easily documented by the basic number of delinquent juveniles accepted into the
program. We will be relying on the databases maintained by the Courts and the District Attorney's
Office.
If awarded, as requested by the OAJJA all collection forms including data entry into CoKit, narrative,
and financial reports will be completed as required.
Blank copies of the evaluation tool and or feedback forms have been attached; please see Section IX
attachments,number 3.

SECTION V- SUSTAINABILITY
The diversion program has been funded by this grant opportunity for the last two years. The grant
is currently funding the Director's position,the Tracker and Interpreter on a part-time basis.
The Weld County Commissioners through the District Attorney's office has funded the Case
Manager position since January 2006.
As the diversion program continues to expand and prove successful, it is anticipated that funding
will continue be requested through grants and various government and community agencies.
Potential cost savings to the community can be calculated to include the number of community
service hours completed by diversion participants,the salary and time saved that would have been
incurred by the employees of local low enforcement,the District Attorney's Office,the Courts, and
the Probation Department had the cases proceeded or returned to Court, and if the juveniles remain
law-abiding and complete their education they will become productive employees and members of
the community.

2. BUDGET NARRATIVE: (Limit 3 pages)
A. Personnel:
Amount requested is to fund the Director's full-time position,the Tracker/Case Manager's part-time
position, and the Spanish language interpreter on a part-time basis. The Weld County Commissioners
through the District Attorney's Office will continue to fund the current full-time Case Manager position.
As stated previously, all positions working directly with the juveniles have Bachelor degrees and training
appropriate for their positions. Specific job descriptions are included as an attachment.
The increase in funding requested for this grant period includes the projected increase in the cost of the
benefits associated and incurred by the County in addition to the raises provided for the employees per
county policy.
The amount requested for the Director's position includes the annual base salary of$61,618 with $24,490
in benefits,totaling$86,108. Compared to last year,this request includes a$3,230 a year raise in salary;
however due to the increased benefit expenses for the County,the increase reflected for benefits is
$9,729. Even given this increase in salary,the Directors of similar programs such as the Juvenile
Assessment Center and the Director of the Weld County Interagency Oversight Group,were posted at a
starting salary of$75,000 plus benefits.
The Case Manager's base salary and benefits are being paid for through the District Attorney's Office by
the Weld County Commissioners as the in-kind match for the diversion program. Starting salary for
similar positions such as a probation officer would be complementary to this current pay scale.
The Tracker/Case Manager and Interpreter are being requested on a part-time basis which does not
equally compare to the rest of the general business public. However,the Tracker/Case Manager position
is being paid as would be comparable to this particular individual's responsibilities and employment
history.
B. Supplies and Operating:
Line items to include office supplies are estimated to cost$2,000. Items to be purchased will include
paper supplies such as file folders, dividers, paper, and envelopes, business cards,general office supplies
(pens, post-it notes, paperclips, pens,etc.), and school supplies if necessary for the juveniles participating
in the program.
C. Travel:
Training or Conference attendance will depend on the availability and expensed by the Weld County
District Attorney's Office.
Mileage is estimated at the rate of$.39/mile. Due to the increasing referrals in the Southern part of Weld
County and trainings offered in the Metro Denver area, it is anticipated that mileage will be $500.
D. Equipment:
At this time, it is not anticipated that the diversion program will require any equipment as defined in the
application during this grant period.
E. Consultant/Professional Services (Contracts):
It is not anticipated that the diversion program will be contracting specifically with an individual or
business to provide direct services to the juvenile or their families in the program. The exception is the
required expense by DCJ for the utilization of the CoKit database.
