It is our projection that we will refer a minimum of 250 youth who have been taken into custody (1) for at least one misdemeanor, and/or(2) more than once for crimes which would constitute a misdemeanor or once for a crime which constitutes a felony. Analysis of local need for services is evident by the high volume of juvenile offenders from throughout this jurisdiction. The services provided by the Juvenile Diversion Program are unique to this judicial district, do not duplicate any other program available, and are successful in diverting most of the juvenile participants from further involvement in the court system. We would like to ask for your support in the application for FY 2000-2001 grant funds for two Community Counselor III positions to work with the designated youth offender population. Sincerely, A. M.

Juvenile Diversion Brochure RFP # RAA001010DCJ MANAGEMENT SUMMARY The 19th Judicial District Attorney's Office:Juvenile Diversion Program is synonymous with Weld County. Within the District Attorney's Office is the Community Programs Division which includes the Juvenile Diversion Program. Our Diversion Program has the unique responsibility to provide program services to all juvenile offenders, ages 10-17, within this jurisdiction. Staff persons within the Community Programs: Juvenile Diversion Program include the following: Administrator, four Community Counselors, and one clerical. The Administrator and each of the four counselors have either a masters degree in the psychology field or a masters in social work degree. This educational component of the Program is essential in order to provide the level of skills necessary to work with the variety of issues and crises of the juvenile offender and their family. The Counselors have access to a wide variety of assessments (discussed in detail within the RFP) in order to seek the best possible assistance. Offices: Our main facility is located within the District Attorney's Office in downtown Greeley. We also have a satellite office located in the Weld County Services Building in Fort Lupton. The satellite offices is maimed two days/week to service residents of south Weld County. Referrals:Weld County has 2 large towns: Greeley and Fort Lupton; and 21 smaller towns, as well as the University of Northern Colorado Department of Public Safety, Department, the Weld County Sheriff Department and the Colorado State Patrol that can refer juvenile criminal cases to our office. Once the police report is reviewed, our Juvenile Chief Deputy District Attorney will determine if the case will be filed immediately in court, OR if the offense is the juvenile's first or second misdemeanor or first minor felony offense,the case will be referred to the Juvenile Diversion Program. System Collaboration: The Juvenile Diversion Program and staff have a positive working relationship with numerous agencies throughout our jurisdiction. These include, but are not limited to, the following: a) Partners, Inc. includes the Senior Mentor Program.,the Victim Offender Mediation/Restorative Justice Program and the Restitution Program. b) Youth Net, City of Greeley c) c.a.r.e. (Child Advocacy Resource and Education d) Department of Social Services e) community service work site locations throughout the county I) Girl Scouts-Mountain Prairie Council g) Victim Empathy Groups: collaborate with Probation, the North Jail/Sheriffs Department. Diversion counselors and Victim Witness Assistance staff within the District Attorney's Office serve on Victim Empathy committees and seek referral of victim speakers. The Victim Witness Assistance Program within the District Attorney's Office has staff who participate in the various Victim Empathy committees and in the referral of victim speakers we may contact as resources. h) Courtesy Supervision of cases is a shared responsibility with several jurisdictions throughout the state. We have a positive working relationship in order to provide necessary services to the juvenile offender and their family. -2- Groups: The Diversion Program has a wide variety of groups that are available to the youth who participate in our program. The Diversion Counselor assesses the needs of the youth when deciding which group placement would benefit the youth. We annually assess each group to evaluate the need it provides, its effectiveness, the age appropriateness, and non-duplication of services provided by the schools and other community agencies. Intake process: Our intake process, once the juvenile/family voluntarily agree to participate in the Diversion Program, is an in-depth exploration of many aspects of the youth/family background. The parent/guardian must attend at least the first two appointments with the youth in order to complete the necessary paperwork. The CYO-LSI youth risk assessment is also completed during this process. The police report and NAMS inquiry (rap sheet of Weld County/City of Greeley incidents) is reviewed with the youth and family. We strongly encourage the parent/guardian to be as involved as possible throughout the time that the youth is on Diversion. Their support and input provides valuable insight into the potential success of their youth completing our program. Individual appointments are always open to the parent/guardian to observe/participate. All groups are closed to parent observation. Professional Consultation: We are currently in the process of finalizing our new contract agreement with a Licensed Professional Counselor to provide monthly consultation for our Diversion staff This contract should be in place by March 1, 2000. The LPC is familiar with the Diversion Program and the types of cases we work with. Program Philosophy: We have a Mission Statement, Philosophy and Approach and the use of the Balanced System which drives our Diversion Program. (Please refer to the attached Juvenile Diversion brochure.) Fee Assessment: The Diversion Program and Intake/Warning cases are each charged a$50 program fee for youth participation. Our Shoplift Group (one time group) cases are charged a $20 program fee. These fees are collected and deposited into an account to be utilized as part of our local match for this grant. One additional fee is the Community Service Liability fee of$5/youth. This fee is charged to all youth on the Diversion Program as they are assigned community service hours. We have a policy with Hartford Life for coverage. Culturally Appropriate and Gender Specific Services: This area is fully discussed within our RFP. We have one Diversion Counselor who is bilingual/bicultural and shares information with staff as well. Staff are encouraged to participate in cultural workshops to gain additional insight. Several staff members have had some Spanish classes in their background and several have taken advantage of the opportunity to enroll in Spanish classes provided by Weld County. We understand the importance of providing gender specific services. Many of the various groups offered are geared toward gender issues. In these groups, gender issues can be explored with the youth and allow for open communication. To develop curriculum for our groups,we work with Girl Scouts, Job Service(employment information), the Health Department and Teen Pregnancy Centers (for female and teen pregnancy topics). Objectives for 2000-01: The objectives stated in the RFP are realistic for our program and the services we can offer to youth. The overall goal is to assess the needs of the youth/family, provide in-house services, and to make referrals to community resources which will aid the family now as well as later, should the family need the resource again. -)- Budget Narrative: We are requesting DCJ grant funds in the amount of$63,738 to support two Community Counselor III positions. Each counselor's salary rate is $33,994 plus a benefit package of$8,498 for a total of$42,492/each person. This brings the total budget to $84,984. The breakdown of the 75/25 required ration is: DCJ Funds: $63,738 Local match dollars: $21,246 (program fee collections in the amount of $9,100 plus $12,146 from the Weld County General funds (cash and in-kind). Conclusion: The 19th Judicial District Attorney's Office: Juvenile Diversion Program has the unique opportunity to collaborate with the numerous community resources/agencies in order to provide services and make referrals. We do not duplicate services when another agency has a program in place and can offer a specific resource to a youth/family. The Diversion Program staff communicate with the school systems, community resources, and parents in order to gather as much information as possible in order to provide the best possible services for the youth. diver/dejmgmtnih RFP-No. RAA001010DCJ EXHIBIT A JUVENILE DIVERSION: 19TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT July 1, 2000 - June 30, 2001 A.

Total number of juveniles arrested last year(1999) in area served: 1,530 1.a. Total number of arrested juveniles to be referred in FY 2000-2001 for diversion services directly from the arresting agency: -0-. 2.

Total number of referrals expected in FY 2000-2001 from the District Attorney's Office in lieu of filing in juvenile court: 250. 3. Number of juveniles placed on probation in the area served during the last year (1999): *The Chief Probation Officer indicates that statewide computer problems prohibit her from knowing this number. This information is not available. 3.a. Total number of referrals expected from the juvenile court or probation office in FY 2000-2001: -0-. 4. Number of juveniles committed to the Division of Youth Corrections (DYC) from the area served during calendar year 1999: 44 (resident county) 4.a. Total number of referrals anticipated for juvenile diversion services during FY 2000-2001 from DYC: -0-. 5.

Numbers of projected percentages of juvenile population to be served by Juvenile Diversion Program in FY 2000-2001 by ethnicity: Anglo 53%; Black 1%; Hispanic 43%; Other 3%. -3- 7. LETTER FROM REFERRAL AGENCY: A letter from District Attorney, A. M. Dominguez, Jr. and Patryce Engel, Chief Deputy District Attorney (juvenile division) is included in Appendix F to verify the projected number of diversion referrals for FY 2000- 2001. All Diversion referrals are received from the Chief Deputy District Attorney for Juvenile Division. Analysis of local need is evident by the numbers of juvenile offenders throughout the 19th Judicial District. This number continues to increase on annual basis. As the Juvenile Diversion Program is unique in services provided to juvenile offenders, our program design is providing services for this special population within our jurisdiction. 8. SYSTEM COLLABORATION Upon participating in the Juvenile Diversion Program, the counselor is continually assessing the variety of needs of the juvenile and his/her family. Staff attend and participate in monthly meetings of Youth Net, a City of Greeley networking organization which is open to all agencies offering services to youth in Weld County. Youth Net offers programs, agency presentations, a variety of announcements including upcoming youth programs/activities and job vacancies. The networking is a valuable component to ensure that all agency staff have an opportunity to meet each other and to be knowledgeable on the appropriate manner of referrals to the agencies. The Diversion Program makes referrals to Partners, Inc. for a variety of services: mentoring with Senior Partner, victim-offender mediation program/Restorative Justice Program, and the restitution program. For juveniles with more intense needs, the Diversion counselor will contact the Weld County Department of Social Services to request S.B. 94 or PAC(Placement Alternative Commission)and request that the juvenile be considered for these programs. Another valuable resource is c.a.r.e. (Child Advocacy Resource & Education) for parenting and teen classes as well as juvenile abuse issues. The Diversion Program also has a diverse number of businesses within the county who provide community service work sites for juveniles. The juvenile pays a $5.00 medical liability fee through our office (we have a contract with Hartford Ins. Co.), and thus, businesses are willing to provide a working/learning environment for the juvenile to perform community service work as part of their Diversion contract. Agency collaboration includes: (1) Female Gender Group: female staff member from Girl Scouts- Mountain Prairie Council co-facilitates the group series. They have contributed to the curriculum of the group. (2)Victim Empathy Groups:The Diversion Counselors and the Weld County Sheriff's Department have helped each other co-facilitate Victim Empathy Groups. This provides networking between the agencies as well as insight into the other agency's programming. (3) Partners, Inc: Diversion Counselors make referrals to Senior Partner Program,the Restitution Program,Victim-Offender Mediation/Restorative Justice program. Diversion counselors also co-facilitate conferencing sessions held for Restorative Justice. (4)AKL Fraternity at the University of Northern Colorado: In 1999, the AKL Fraternity approached the Diversion Program to establish a mentoring/role model program for selected males who are participating in the Diversion Program. A total of five youth completed this program to date. Due to AKL commitment issues, this program may be monitored through Partners in the near future. 9. PROGRAM EVALUATION FOR FY 1999-00: A.

INTENSIVE PROGRAM INTERVENTION (IFI) PROGRAM EVALUATION The objectives outlined below are for the IFI Program proposal for FY 1999-00, with a seven- month report (July 1, 1999-January 31, 2000) 1. TO PROVIDE 30 STATE CRITERIA JUVENILES WITH INTENSIVE FAMILY INTERVENTION TO PREVENT THAT JUVENILE WITH SEVERE FAMILY PROBLEMS FROM ENTERING THE COURT SYSTEM (WITH SPECIAL ATTENTION GIVEN TO MINORITY AND MONOLINGUAL (SPANISH SPEAKING) FAMILIES. EVALUATION Contracted: Status as of 1-31-00 30 state cases State: 6 IFI cases referred; 2 accepted Other: 17 IFI cases referred; 8 accepted NOTE: During 1999-00,this Counselor was also assigned regular Diversion cases in addition to IFI cases. State: 16 Diversion cases referred; 9 accepted Other: 17 Diversion cases referred; 6 accepted The rationale for this case assignment change is that the overall types of offenses being referred to the District Attorney's Office: Juvenile Diversion Program has changed during the past three years. We see more aggressive delinquent behavior in youth, increase in family dysfunctions, and constant stressors within the family system. Therefore,it has been evident that an IFI Program will no longer be a designated program with our new grant. We will assign juvenile cases to any of the four counselors as they all have the masters level of education and skills to work with all types of cases. 2.

APPROPRIATENESS OF SERVICES OVERVIEW OF SERVICES PROVIDED: An annual review is done with Diversion staff to review programs offered and to determine if changes are necessary. Consideration is given to: 1)types of offenses being referred to the Diversion Program, 2) age levels, 3) gender needs/issues, 4) cultural needs, 5) enhancement (not duplication) of programs the juvenile has access to in school and community. We address current needs and issues of the juvenile, family and community. GROUP EDUCATION OFFERED: A variety of group services are provided. These groups aim to improve skill deficiencies,reinforce appropriate, productive behaviors, and emphasize alternatives that are socially acceptable. The groups are described below. A Shoplift Group is provided for juveniles whose offense includes a shoplifting (misdemeanor) theft offense. This is a two-hour group which includes myths vs. facts re: shoplifting, impact of theft on merchants, written apology letter to victim(s), payment of restitution if applicable, discussion of their involvement in the offense,and an evaluation. The counselor then meets individually with each participant to review the completed Family History form and to assess if the juvenile and family are in need of additional services from our office or community referrals. Groups are split into two age categories: 10-13 and 14-17. We will soon begin referring first-time shoplift cases (for juveniles ages 14-17) to Teen Court (implemented in January 2000). This Referral process is still being determined. Another resource for shoplift cases is I.S.A.E. Program out of Denver. They offer a wide variety of classes including anger management and classes for Spanish-speaking clients. Again, this resource is for juveniles ages 14-17. A General Life Skills Group Series is mandated for all juveniles who are participating in the Diversion Program. This is a series of five topical groups covering the areas of: introductions of group members and thinking errors. communication. anger/stress management diversity: and refusal skills. These group sessions are scheduled on a consecutive weekly basis or on an every other week basis. Each group has approximately 7-10 juveniles in each group with the same members throughout the series. Each group session lasts for I %2 hours (3:30-5:00 p.m.) . Additional versions of the Life Skills Group series is listed below: a) Young Male Offender Groupfor ages 10-13. Groups are one hour in length. Topics covered in this series include: Communication Skills/Problem Solving ("I" statements, communication styles, positive rules), Refusal Skills (boundaries, video), Anger Management (video, tuggers, warning signs, symptoms, management techniques), and Feelings. Group series lasts seven weeks. b) Older Male Offender Group for ages 14-17. Groups are 1 %2 hours in length. Topics covered in this series include: Anger Management Conflict Resolution Skills/Problem Solving. Dating/Relationships, Job Skills. Communication, Refusal Skills. Group series lasts 6-8 weeks. c) Female Gender Group, began in 1997, for ages 10-17. This has been a successful partnership. Topics covered in this series include: Growing Up Female/Self-Esteem; Family and Relationships; Diversity; Sexuality & Teen Pregnancy: and Refusal Skills/Goal Setting, These groups are co-facilitated with one female Diversion Counselor and a female staff member from Girl Scouts-Mountain Prairie Council. Girl Scouts approached our office with a diverse set of curriculum topics and an interest in working with at-risk female offenders. This has been a very successful partnership. The curriculum is -7- very age appropriate and yet flexible to meet the needs of the female participants. The feedback from the young women has been very positive. A Victim Empathy Group was first offered during 1999. This group series can be single or mixed gender, ages 13-17. A national facilitator was brought to Greeley during February, 1999 as a joint venture between the District Attorney's Office, Probation Services, and the Weld County Sheriff's Department. The training was open to forty persons from our geographic area who work with at-risk youth and was held over a 4-day period. These three agencies schedule groups for their own caseload/clients as needed. There are several sub-committees that provide services to the overall Victim Empathy Committee including: (a)Victim Speaker Subcommittee(crime victims that have had some time to heal and approach them to be a speaker at a group. A mandatory training is held to prepare each speaker for their presentation); (b) Statistics Committee: develop a system to keep statistics on groups held and tracking for recidivism; ©Training Committee: target agencies within the community that can provide assistance to the overall Victim Empathy process. Diversion youth are given a"BEES"pre/post test before they enter the group to measure empathy level. Youth must verbally participate in each group. A victim speaker begins each group followed by curriculum and activities being presented. The groups have been successful in the fact that it has increased juvenile offender's empathy awareness (per BEES post test scores). A Family Group Series (IFI Program only is provided for the juvenile and family approximately mid-way through the IFI program. All family members are invited to participate in this group series. Group topics include: Conflict Resolution, Parenting Styles, Communication/Negotiation, Children. Responsibility and Discipline, Change and Problem-Solving, The groups run 1 %2 hours in length and group interaction is encouraged. Each group provides for group discussion, exchange of ideas, teen and adult input, and scenario situations. SEQUENCE OF ACTIVITIES OR SERVICES Referral Process: Juvenile offense reports are received daily from the 21 police agencies throughout the county. A"Names Inquiry"is conducted on each juvenile to check for local prior offenses. File folders are then made for each offender with a case number assigned. A repeat offender's diversion information is located in the computer system and a notation is made on the new offense. Information regarding the new offense is entered into our Tiburon Computer System. The Chief Deputy DA will identify when Restitution Claim forms are sent to victims . The new juvenile file is then sent to the Chief Deputy DA for review. She will determine if the case will be filed in court or referred to the Diversion Program. If referred to the Diversion Program, the case files are sent to the Community Programs Administrator for review. She reads each case file and either accepts or rejects the case. If rejected, the case file is returned to the Chief Deputy DA for filing. NOTE: a case may be rejected if prior information is known, weapons involved and/or violence is prevalent. If accepted into the Diversion Program, a funding source is assigned (state/other). Case file is then assigned to a designated Diversion counselor. Diversion Acceptance Criteria: A. Commission of an illegal offense while between the ages of ten to seventeen. B. Taken into custody at least once or twice for a misdemeanor or once for a felony. C. Offense report sent to District Attorney's Office for review. -8- D. Review by Juvenile Deputy DA to indicate: sufficiency of evidence; offense is non-violent; history of juvenile and circumstances of crime do not require a court filing. E. The juvenile must accept responsibility for participation in the criminal offense and agree to the terms of the contract agreement. F. The juvenile and parent/legal guardian must choose to participate in the Diversion Program vs. court and must agree to the terms in the contract agreement. G. At intake, Diversion counselor deems juvenile appropriate for Diversion Program. Very few juveniles have been found inappropriate at this point. One factor which might precipitate rejection at this point would be the discovery of information regarding the juvenile's history that was not available prior to offering the Diversion Program. The Diversion secretary then enters the case information onto the Tiburon computer system and the program statistical information onto the LOTUS system. Letters are sent to parents listed in the case file requesting them to call our office to schedule an appointment with the assigned Diversion counselor for an Intake appointment. If parents do not call for an appointment with ten days of the date on the letter, the Diversion counselor will make an attempt to verify that the letter was sent to the correct address and send the letter once more. If there is still no response within ten days,the case is staffed with the Community Programs Administrator. If all attempts have been made to reach the family, to no avail, the case is referred back to the Chief Deputy DA for court filing. INTAKE ASSESSMENT: The counselor meets with the juvenile and parent/legal guardian. The police report is reviewed, an advisement of rights is given, and information about the juvenile records is explained. If the juvenile accepts responsibility for the offense, the Diversion Program is explained and offered to the family as an option to court;program requirements are explained. Required forms include: Legal Form, Confidentiality Form, Release of Information, Release of Liability (for all groups/community service hours, field trips, etc.), Informed Consent, Intake Data(data on client/family that is entered into computer data base for all juvenile offenders), Family History form, Contract Agreement, Restitution payment plan and policy form, Responsibilities for Community Service, Liability Terms of Agreement for Community Service, Community Service Work Agreement. A complete Family History is taken with discussion addressing specific problems. After the counselor has gained insight into individual problems, an individual contract agreement is developed. The counselor then completes the CYO-LSI risk assessment. Individualized treatment goals are established. Frequency of appointments and groups are discussed. Based on Family History information given, the Diversion Counselor will contact schools, caseworkers, therapists, and other appropriate agencies for further information. Contract agreement will always include appointments every two weeks, regular school attendance or employment, written apology letter to the victim(s), payment of restitution, community service hours, assigned papers, counseling if determined necessary, community referrals as needed, groups to attend, drug/alcohol assessments as needed. COUNSELING AND PROFESSIONAL CONSULTATION: For six to nine months,the juvenile (along with frequent family participation encouraged) meets with the Diversion counselor for regularly scheduled appointments--each appointment is 30 minutes in length. These may be planned weekly for high risk youth, but most commonly are scheduled twice monthly. The counselor supervises the completion of the contract requirements, discusses concerns of the youth as indicated in the needs assessment and -9- plans sessions to complete the treatment goals and contract requirements. Case notes are maintained by the counselor in the juvenile's Diversion case file. Professional resources have been established in the drug/alcohol community for youth identified of having drug/alcohol problems or identified of being at risk of using. Referrals include Island Grove Regional Treatment Center(UA screens, education classes/ groups, and evaluations), ARC Counseling Center(education classes/groups, evaluations), and The Restitution CenterNilla (UA screens). We have also established trips to The Restitution Center/Villa for half-day meetings with Diversion youth and residents at The Restitution Center/Villa to discuss drug/alcohol issues. This has been a very effective program for both genders; ages 14-17. The Diversion Program contracts with a licensed professional in the psychology community to receive monthly consultation PROGRAM PHILOSOPHY: Please refer to our Juvenile Diversion brochure(see Appendix G)for the Mission Statement, Philosophy and Approach, and use of The Balanced System. It is the goal of the 19th Judicial District Attorney's Office: Juvenile Diversion program to provide a community based alternative to the formal court system for juvenile offenders who meet the criteria for services. The program seeks to provide "The Balanced Approach" concept which includes: protection to the public, holding youth accountable and responsible for their behavior, and helping youth to develop the competencies and skills needed for them to live productively and responsibly in the community. Each juvenile has a unique set of circumstances and factors which have contributed to their offense behavior. The response of the Diversion counselor will be to develop an individualized case treatment plan that is related to an assessment of unique contributing factors. Justice is best served in this program when the community, the victim(s), and the juvenile and his/her family receive balanced attention and all gain tangible outcomes from the interaction with this Diversion Program. It is within this framework that all program services are delivered. In accordance with"The Balanced Approach," it is our goal that through community service, the youth will take responsibility for their crime by returning to the community a service of measurable value. And, through the restitution program, repay the victim of damages resulting from their crime. It is our hope that with the community and youth working together, this experience will help the youth gain meaningful skills and acquire respect toward self and others; thus, leading to more productive living, a safer community environment and lower recidivism. ASSESSMENT INSTRUMENTS: CYO-LSI Assessment Instrument: During October, 1997, the Diversion counselors participated in a training provided by the State Judicial Program to learn to administer the CYO-LSI Risk Assessment Instrument(Colorado Youth Offender Level of Service Inventory). The instrument is completed within the first three appointments with the juvenile/family. An in-house Needs Assessment is utilized to accommodate two age levels: a) ages 10-13, and b) ages 14-17. This form is given to the juvenile to complete and is then discussed with the Diversion counselor. This form gives a great deal of insight into numerous areas that may not otherwise surface during Diversion. Three Diversion counselors have completed training for the Juvenile Firesetter Evaluation. The Diversion counselor will complete an initial assessment and most likely make a referral of the juvenile and their parent/legal guardian to meet with the Greeley Fire Department who will complete an in-depth -10- interview and send evaluation results and recommendations to our office. This letter is reviewed with the juvenile and parent/legal guardian. Follow-up recommendations are made accordingly. Juveniles needing a drug and alcohol assessments can be referred to the following: a) Island Grove Regional Treatment Center(evaluations, education, groups, UA screens), b) The Restitution Center/The Villa(UA Screens), or c) ARC Counseling Center(education, groups, evaluations). Results are sent to the Diversion counselor who will review the information with the juvenile and their parent/legal guardian. Follow-up recommendations are required accordingly. TERMINATION: (1) Successful termination indicates that all terms of the contract agreement were satisfactorily completed. A Termination Summary and DCJ form are completed and placed in the case file which is given to the Community Programs Administrator for review. In the event the youth re- offends before turning age 18, they may be considered to participate in the Diversion Program a second time. (2)Unsuccessful terminations also have a Termination Summary and DCJ form completed. The case file is given to the Administrator for review. These files are given to the Chief Deputy DA for review for court filing. An unsuccessful termination would eliminate a juvenile from future consideration for the Diversion Program should he/she be detained on another charge. EVALUATION FORMS: At the final appointment, an evaluation form is given to both the youth and the parent/guardian. These forms are then placed in a file as feedback for the program. STAFF/CASE SUPERVISION: The Community Programs Administrator reviews all cases at referral and at termination. In addition, the Administrator reviews individual cases on a regular basis and provides comments to the counselor related to content and direction. Counselors inform the Administrator of any incidents, crises or high risk situations. Bi-weekly staff meetings are held with a planned agenda which includes case staffings, paperwork updates and changes, and in-service training. Each counselor meets with the Administrator on a regular basis for any programmatic concerns. An evaluation of the counselor's performance is completed,based upon the format developed by the District Attorney's Office, on an annual basis. The Administrator schedules an individual appointment with the staff member to review the evaluation. Positive and open communication is a primary concern in this program to ensure high moral and productivity. FEES ASSESSED: A. Diversion and Intake/Warning Programs: $50.00 B. Community Service Liability Fee: $ 5.00 Fees will be collected by the Diversion counselor during the first 60 days of participation in the Diversion Program or the Intake/Warning Program. Upon payment of fees, the counselor will write a receipt to the juvenile. The fee must be paid in the form of cash or money order made payable to the District Attorney's Office. The fee is then given to the Diversion secretary who will put the monies in a locked safe until the Administrator prepares a deposit. C. Shoplift Group Fee: $20. 00 (for in-house group only) Fee will be collected by the Diversion counselor prior to allowing the juvenile to participate in the Shoplift Group. All fees paid must be in the form of cash or money order made payable to the DA Office. A receipt is given to the juvenile. The Diversion secretary lock the monies in a secured area until the Administrator prepares a deposit. -11- POLICIES AND PROCEDURES for every phase of the Diversion Program are provided in a training manual. It is updated throughout the year as changes are made. Each new staff member is required to review the manual prior to beginning work with their assigned caseload. PROGRAM ASPECTS ON CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE AND GENDER-SPECIFIC SERVICES. The Diversion staff attend in-service workshops and related conferences that offer culturally appropriate information that will enhance our program services. We understand the need for speaking and/or understanding the Spanish language/culture. Therefore, staff members enroll in various levels of Spanish classes offered by the Weld County Personnel Office. Several of the Diversion staff have participated in classes. All intake packet forms have been translated into the Spanish language. We encourage family members to bring an adult family member with them if there is a need for an interpreter. We have one Diversion counselor who is both bilingual and bicultural. This benefits both our program and the juveniles and their families. In the event that we did not have a Spanish speaking staff member, our office would provide for and make arrangements to have a Spanish interpreter for the family. This service would be provided at no cost to the family. DIVERSION PROGRAM OBJECTIVES FOR FY 2000-2001: 1. To receive 250 juvenile diversion referrals to the Diversion Program, thus diverting them from court filing. This will include providing 75% state criteria juveniles with a community based alternative to the formal court system for anticipated acceptance rate of 75% and an anticipated rejection rate of 25%. a. State criteria juveniles are those who have been taken into custody for one or more misdemeanor offense or one felony, and therefore would likely result in a juvenile filing. Juveniles are referred for Diversion by the Chief Deputy DA. The Community Programs Administrator assesses those referrals to determine the appropriateness of each referral programmatically and assigns cases to a Diversion counselor. b. Diversion services will include: screening, intake and assessment, individual and family counseling, educational and counseling groups such as life skills, female and male gender groups, shoplift groups, referrals to drug/alcohol evaluations/treatment programs and UA Screens, referrals for psychological testing and treatment, referrals to Partners,Inc. (Senior partner, victim-offender mediation/Restorative Justice, and Restitution Program), supervision and case management, restitution collection, and community service hours. c. Diversion services will reduce the number of cases filed in court and referred to Probation and thus reduce expensive processing through state courts. The following costs were received during February,2000 from the following sources: Kelly Hufford of State Judicial Office (probation cost) and Andrew Martinez of Division of Youth Corrections (DYC cost). The information listed below indicates the cost for Diversion, Probation, and DYC placement (all figures are for one youth/one year): Diversion Program $ 249 Probation Services $ 1,802 Division of Youth Corrections $48,523 -12- Overall, the Diversion Program is a significant cost savings in tax dollars to citizens in our jurisdiction as well as the state. The program components place high accountability factors on juvenile participants. Our program reflects a high success rate primarily due to these accountability factors and thus, we avoid more costly referrals and placements within the juvenile justice programs. We continue to work with Probation staff to determine program services that we can offer program participants, thus preventing court filing and adjudication. This will further provide cost savings to the community. 2. Projected recidivism rates for program participants will be 15% for short-term recidivism and 35% for long-term recidivism. • a. Short-term recidivism is defined as a re-arrest while on the Diversion Program resulting in a case filing. The Chief Deputy DA, the Community Programs Administrator, and the Diversion counselor consult regarding further action. If the offense is minor and the counselor is willing to continue working with the juvenile, the juvenile is given additional consequences for the additional offense and continues on the Diversion Program. Consequences might include: additional community service hours, additional restitution to pay and/or added contractual time, etc. Short-term recidivism will be measured by any re-offense while in the Diversion Program recorded in the closing log. b. Long-term recidivism is defined as a re-offense within five years after ajuvenile's case has been closed from the Diversion Program. The Chief Deputy DA and the Community Programs Administrator will jointly determine whether to file the case or to offer another opportunity to the juvenile to participate in the Diversion Program once again. Long-term recidivism will be measured by tracking all new police reports to determine if the juvenile has had any prior involvement with the Diversion Program over the past five years. If tracking records show previous Diversion involvement,a notation will be made in the new case log, along with a notation of whether the case was closed as "successful" or "unsuccessful." The number of juveniles involved with the Diversion Program who have re-offended after his/her case had been closed, will be tracked and counted. 3. Projected amount of restitution to be collected and disbursed to victims in juvenile crimes will be $7,500. a. Victims of juvenile crimes will be contacted to complete and return restitution forms. b. Each contract agreement will include payment of any restitution owed to each victim. 4. Projected number of supervised assigned community service work hours to be completed will be 1,500. a. A consistent procedure is in place for assigning community service hours. In the case of a juvenile who is already employed or is responsible for family caretaking,the number of hours may be altered. This provides a consistent and reliable method of assignment. Because of on-going recruitment of work sites, the counselors have more comprehensive and diverse choices related to assigning community service hours. This results in successful completion of assigned work hours and program success in general. -13- E. ACCOUNTABILITY OF YOUTH PROJECTED REARREST RATES/RECIDIVISM RATES: Short Term: 15%;Long Term: 35%. Short-Term Recidivism is defined as a re-arrest while on the Diversion Program resulting in a case filing. The Chief Deputy DA, the Community Programs Administrator and the counselor consult regarding further action. If the offense is minor and the counselor feels commitment from the juvenile on the program, the juvenile is given additional consequences for the new offense and is allowed to remain on the program. Consequences may include: additional community service hours, additional restitution to pay and/or added contractual time. Short-term recidivism will be measured by any re-offense while on the program and is reported in the closing log. Long-Term Recidivism is defined as a re-offense within five years after the juvenile's case has been closed. The Chief Deputy DA will determine, at the time of the new offense,whether to file the case or to have the Community Programs Administrator consider the juvenile for the Diversion Program again. Long term recidivism will be measured by tracking all new police reports to determine if the juvenile has had any prior involvement with the program over the past five years. If tracking records indicate previous Diversion involvement, a notation will be made in the new case log, along with a notation of whether the case was closed as successful or unsuccessful. VICTIM OFFENDER MEDIATION/RESTORATIVE JUSTICE: Our Diversion Program serves as a referral agency to Partners, Inc. for victim offender mediation/Restorative Justice. The Diversion counselor explains the process involved to the juvenile and parent/legal guardian. A referral form is completed and sent to Partners. Their RJ coordinator will make all necessary contacts of offender and victim and set up the conferencing date/time/location. One Diversion Counselor has completed ILI mediation training and is a conferencing co-facilitator. The Partners Program has grant monies available to pay for conferencing; therefore, there is no fee for our referrals. RESTITUTION: The Chief Deputy DA determines when restitution claim forms are sent to victims. The victim has twenty days to complete the form and to document all requests with estimates or receipts regarding repair or loss. The amount of loss for each victim is divided among codefendants and each youth is held responsible for paying 100% of his/her share of restitution. A payment schedule is developed by the Diversion counselor. The juvenile must purchase a money order made payable to the victim. Our office then sends a cover letter with the money order to the victim. The restitution component of the program is designed to be a learning experience for the youth as well as a reimbursement system for the victim. Juvenile is given a 6-month time period to pay restitution in full. NOTE: It is difficult to project a number of victims to receive restitution. Restitution amounts can vary from a few dollars up to $2,000. Number of victims per offense varies. COMMUNITY SERVICE HOURS: Community service hours are consistent with each juvenile participating in the Diversion Program. For ages 10-13: 10 hours are assigned for the first offense; in the event they are on the Diversion Program with two offenses, they are assigned 15 hours. For ages 14-17: 16 hours are assigned for the first offense; in the event they are on the Diversion Program with two offenses, they are assigned 24 hours. They are given a period of six weeks to complete their community service hours at a worksite assigned by their counselor. Each juvenile is required to pay a one-time $5.00 medical liability fee to this office prior to beginning their hours. Our liability policy is through Hartford Acct. And Life Insurance, Denver, CO. The work hours may be altered only in a situation where the -14- juvenile is the caretaker of a family member or where employment and school may present a problem for the juvenile's economic and/or academic survival. REFERRALS TO OTHER AGENCIES; Counselors frequently refer juveniles to other agencies as well as community resources including service providers for youth with special needs. Those agencies utilized most frequently include: Partners, Department of Social Services, alternative schools, GED programs, Boys and Girls Club, Rodarte Center, Youth Passages (North Colorado Psychcare Youth Treatment Program), Job Services, Job Corps, Island Grove Regional Treatment Center (for substance abuse evaluation/treatment, education/groups, and UA screens), The Restitution Center/The Villa (UA screens), and ARC Counseling Center (evaluations/ treatment recommendations), and c.a.r.e. (Child Advocacy Resource and Education).. SUPPORTIVE EDUCATION SERVICES: During the intake process, the counselor identifies and addresses academic, behavioral, and attitudinal problem areas in the juvenile's educational setting. The Diversion program goal is to maintain students in their present educational setting or to prepare them for reintegration into a public school setting, a vocational program such as Job Corps or into a GED program. To assist the juvenile in attaining these goals,the counselor may obtain overall school progress reports, achievement scores, attendance records, discipline information, suspension and expulsion and ability scores from the schools. The counselor may request input in special educational staffings. COUNSELING: All counselors are required to have masters degrees in the counseling field and at least one year experience. The counseling staff is well-equipped to provide short-term guidance and counseling to troubled youth and their families. As indicated above, the program provides individual, group and family involvement, and counselors are supervised according to state law by a qualified expert. In addition, a number of juveniles and their families are referred outside the program for therapy when assessed as necessary. OTHER MEASURES OF PROGRAM SUCCESS: a) RESTITUTION COLLECTIONS: The Diversion Program continues to have a high success rate in the collection of restitution monies. We set firm limits with the juvenile,regarding payment to the victim for damages/injuries. We strongly encourage the youth to earn their own restitution monies, discourage parents from"handing over"the monies to their youth for payment, and refer the youth to the Partners Restitution Program as a resource to earn monies. Thus, we can continue to project that we will have a high success rate of victims receiving reimbursement. b) COMMUNITY SERVICE HOURS: Youth, ages 10-17, are expected to complete a set number of community service hours. We attempt to match their level of skill/interest to a work site we have established in the community. We have had several youth complete hours at the Boys and Girls Club and upon completion,they were offered a summer or seasonal job. One youth knew sign language. She as matched with the Center for Independence and worked in the office greeting clients, utilizing her sign language skills. -15- F. COST EFFECTIVENESS OF PLACEMENT 1. ANNUAL BUDGET Refer to Attachments B and C for more detailed budget information as requested. Fees for Service: Our program charges the following fees for service: $50 for full Diversion Program (6-9 months in length) $50 for Intake/Warning Program (3 months in length) $20 for Shoplift Group (one time group) Fees are explained at the Intake appointment and due within 60 days. If youth/family state that there is a hardship in fee payment, the Diversion Counselor will staff the case with the Administrator and we will consider one of the following: I) refer the youth to the Partners Restitution Program to earn the program fee(we inform Partners of the payment due date); or 2) we will waive the program fee. Waiver of program fee is granted for approximately 4 families per year based on hardship. The hardship is self- report information gathered through the various forms completed at the Intake appointment. Collected fees are deposited into an account established with the Weld County Accounting Office. The Administrator makes monthly deposits to the account. At the end of the grant year, these monies are then absorbed by Weld County General Funds as our portion of the local match. 2. BUDGET NARRATIVE STATE DOLLARS REQUESTED: The 19th Judicial District Attorney's Offrce:J u v e n i l e Diversion Program is requesting$63,738 in state funds to support two Community Counselor III positions. Each counselor's annual salary rate is$33,994 plus a benefit package of$8,498 for a total of$42,492/each; for a grant total cost of $84,984. In order to figure a 75/25 ratio, we are asking for DCJ funds in the amount of$63,738. Weld County General Funds and the collection of program fees will account for the remaining 25% ($21,246). As presented earlier in the RFP, the Diversion Program can provide comprehensive services at an extremely low cost to the state (one youth/per year): $249 as compared to Probation Services ($1802) and Division of Youth Corrections $48,523). Two counselors are being requested(as in prior years)to provide individual/family counseling,case management of contract agreement requirements, facilitate groups, collect restitution, and work with juvenile offenders in such a program that will education the youth into being a productive young citizen in our community. The Counselors will also work with the youth/family through various activities and discussions which will educate the family communication approach to resolving issues. As indicated in the proposal,a masters degree and one year experience is required for all Counselor III positions. It is necessary to have these qualifications in order to provide quality services to such a difficult population and to make assessments for more serious family and individual needs. The District Attorney's Office is subject to positions and salary levels which are determined by the Weld County Personnel Office. LOCAL MATCH: The Weld County General Funds and program fee collections will provide funds for the 25% local match for FY 2000-2001. The amount of$21,246 is designated as the local match for the 25%portion of the 75/25 ratio. Weld County General Funds absorb the annual cost of living raise as well -16- as any step increases in salary for each counselor position. This match also includes in-kind operating expenses provided by Weld County. Local Match Dollars to be generated for FY 2000-2001 are listed below: Diversion & Intake/Warning Program Fees: $ 7,500* ($50 x 150 accepted cases per year) Shoplift Group Fee: $ 1,600* ($20 x 40 cases per year) Weld County General Funds $12,146 (Includes in-kind operating expenses) TOTAL AMOUNT FOR MATCH: $21,246 *These monies will be collected and deposited in an account with Weld County for the purpose of the required match. 3. BUDGET OPTIONS: The Diversion Program is requesting funding for two Community Counselor III positions. It would be extremely difficult to provide a quality service for this judicial district without this funding. The Diversion Program provides a unique and unduplicated program to juvenile offenders for the 19th Judicial District. Volunteer/Intern counselors through the University of Northern Colorado have been considered. However,this would not be the ideal situation because of the semester turn-over rate. The program would not provide the necessary consistency through this type of arrangement. Intern counselors are beneficial for a supplemental purpose but not as a replacement for the masters-level counselor in the Juvenile Diversion Program. diver/exhibita.nih ATTACHMENTS B.
