Youth admit guilt to their offense and choose to divert from the court system. PROBLEM: Juvenile offenders within the 19th Judicial District are abusing drugs and/or alcohol. According to 2000 stats on youth within the 19th Judicial District: approximately one-fourth of the referred cases are drug/alcohol related. These same stats indicate the following: --21%of referred juvenile cases to the Juvenile Diversion Program were drug/alcohol related offenses. —11.65% (self-report)parents indicate they use/have used alcohol. —3.76% (self-report)parents indicate they use/have used drugs. PURPOSE AREA: #12: Implement a policy of controlled substance testing for appropriate categories of juveniles within the juvenile justice system. SUMMARY OF YOUR FOCUS WITHIN THE PURPOSE AREA: To identify drug/alcohol related use/abuse issues with juvenile offenders and get a baseline reading by requiring Urine Analysis screens (UA)or Breathalysers (BA). To increase accountability in youth decision-making re: drugs and alcohol. To connect juveniles with available resources to address this problem area. Goal 1: To identify drug/alcohol use/abuse by juvenile offenders referred to the Juvenile Diversion Program.

How will it be measured? -By recording the results of each UA and BA and the actual number of referrals on a chart kept within the juvenile case file. How will the results be analyzed? The results will be closely monitored by each Juvenile Diversion Counselor. The chart will indicate whether the results are showing a decrease or increase in drug/alcohol use/abuse. We will review the pattern of results and discuss these results with the juvenile and their parent/legal guardian to see if additional referrals are needed for classes and/or evaluations. These results will be monitored during the time period that the case is open on the Diversion Program. Goal 2 Cost Needs What will be measured? - The actual number of juvenile offenders referred to specific community resources such as classes and/or evaluations. - The success level to each referral will be charted and tracked on a form kept within the juvenile's case file. How will it be measured? -By recording the attendance and success rate of each referral on a chart kept within the juvenile case file. Page 3 How will the results be analyzed? The referral component will be closely monitored by each Juvenile Diversion Counselor. The chart will indicate whether the results are showing a decrease or increase in drug/alcohol use/abuse. We will review the pattern of results and discuss these results with the juvenile and their parent/legal guardian to see if additional referrals are needed for classes and/or evaluations or if the case will be closed and referred for filing in court. These results will be monitored during the time period that the case is open on the Diversion Program. *The Juvenile Diversion Program has a contract with Island Grove Regional Treatment Center dated 2002. We also have a contract with The Villa/Restitution Center dated 1999. During July 2002, this contract will be updated. Donna Haynes, Director of The Villa, gave permission to list the prices per the 1999 contract with the understanding that our 2002 contract will likely indicate different costs for services.

Every attempt will be made to explain the rationale for making a referral for a UA or BA test,referral to a class or evaluation,and to community resources. The Juvenile Diversion Program has both male and female staff persons. We can seek Hispanic/Latino colleagues to work with our youth when appropriate. We offer in-house groups that are gender specific:Older Male Life Skills,Younger Male Life Skills,and Female Life Skills groups. Topics are constantly being revised to address needs of youth on our program. We seek out community resources that are cultural and gender sensitive as well. EVALUATION AND LONG-TERM PLAN: Measurement of the success o$our goals will be indicated by getting baseline reading on youth's initial UA and BA tests(minimum of two UA screens). All consequent referrals will be closely monitored and charted with the juvenile's case file to track all UA/BA levels. With the referrals to drug/alcohol related classes and/or evaluations,it is our desire that youth will acquire knowledge of the effects of drugs/alcohol on their body as well as their actions;thus,the use/abuse of drugs/alcohol will be eliminated. Long Term Goals include: • Continue to take the opportunity identify the use/abuse of drugs and/or alcohol used by juvenile offenders participating in the Juvenile Diversion PRogram. • Assess drug/alcohol use/abuse through UA screens,BA tests,and evaluations. • Connect juvenile offenders with community resources to provide education and resources to address this problem. • Continue to seek appropriate community resources for juveniles. LONG TERM SUSTAINABILITY PLAN The long term(3-5 year)plan will be to seek other grant funds in the event JAIBG grant funds are discontinued. Youth are encouraged to"earn"monies to pay for the services they need. These grant funds are provided in order to have youth receive the services they need for drug/alcohol related issues.

A copy of each provider's contract is attached. diver/jaibgdiversion.wpd 6-18-02 JAIBG Grant Proposal Information on Referrals for Breathalysers (BA) and/or Urine Analysis (UA) Screens The Juvenile Diversion Program is concerned for the overall safety and well-being of juveniles who participate in our program. Information gathered from the juvenile and family may result in a referral for drug/alcohol assessment, education and BA and/or UA screens. The BA and/or UA screens may be required either on a scheduled or random basis at any time throughout the Juvenile Diversion Program. ' The juvenile will be given a referral form to take to the designated agency and/or the juvenile will be assigned to a"call in"program which will inform the juvenile of the date and time to appear for BA or UA. The juvenile and family will be responsible for all costs involved with these referrals. The Juvenile Diversion Program will not be responsible for any costs for drug/alcohol assessment, education, detox, BA and UA screens or transportation. We understand that: 1) should the juvenile and family fail to comply with the referral, 2) should the juvenile provide a diluted sample(which will be considered a positive sample), or 3) should the juvenile provide a positive sample,this will be considered non-compliance with the Juvenile Diversion Program. We understand that if the juvenile continues to provide positive samples for drugs/alcohol,they may be required to seek a full drug/alcohol evaluation and comply with any and all recommendations. There may be a parent component to the recommendations and we,as parent/legal guardian, agree to comply as well. The Juvenile Diversion Program currently has contracts with the following agencies: GDRC (Greeley Day Reporting Center) for BA/UA screens; and IG (Island Grove Regional Treatment Center)BA/UA screens,evaluations,education classes. If juvenile/family should select a different agency than the above, they must provide all appropriate documentation to the Juvenile Diversion Program in a timely manner. All expenses are the responsibility of the juvenile/family. Procedures set un with GDRC: When a juvenile is required to submit to a random BA, the juvenile must call between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. every day, seven days/week. Phone: 970-353-9512 ext. 4. If the juvenile's color is stated,the juvenile is required to provide a sample that same day between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. at the GDRC. (See map) The juvenile is responsible for payment of each BA($1.00 each). Therefore,the juvenile should always come prepared with$2.00 cash for the following reasons: (A) If the juvenile blows a positive BA, they will be required to wait in the Reception Area for approximately 15 minutes and then blow a second BA. If the second BA is also positive,the GDRC staff will attempt to contact a parent/legal guardian to respond and take the juvenile home or to Page 2 Detox at Island Grove Regional Treatment Center. If a parent/legal guardian cannot be reached, a phone call will be made to law enforcement to transport the youth to Detox. NOTE: If the juvenile is transported to Detox, all expenses incurred will rest with the juvenile/family. If the BA is positive,the juvenile may be required to submit a UA sample. Cost to the juvenile for the UA sample is $12.00. (B) If the juvenile blows a negative BA, the youth will be allowed to leave. Cost to juvenile is $1.00. In either situation,results will be sent to the Juvenile Diversion Counselor and will then be reviewed with the juvenile/family as soon as possible. All transportation needs are the responsibility of the juvenile/family. Failure to comply with the requirements of the Juvenile.Diversion Program could result in the juvenile's case being closed as unsuccessful for non-compliance and being referred to the Deputy District Attorney for review for court filing. I have read all of the above information and understand all statements. I agree to comply with the program's referral process. I understand that all expenses incurred are the responsibility of the juvenile/family.
