Validated screening tools assist in creating plans using Risk Need Responsivity principles to meet juveniles needs. The program works to increase accountability, address community safety needs, and repair harm to victims. Project Plan The Weld County District Attorney's Office Juvenile Diversion Program has been providing Diversion to first time juvenile offenders since 2005. Allocated funding will support a portion of staff salary and costs associated with the Diversion Program. The program seeks to match first time offenders with the appropriate level of services upon their first contact with law enforcement.The program philosophy is that providing the proper services as soon as possible will best address a juveniles needs and therefore, be a preventative measure in eliminating future law violations. Through understanding the juvenile and the communities' needs, not all juveniles are appropriate for the low level of supervision that Diversion provides;therefore,the program does not accept all juveniles referred to the program. Diversion sanctions strive to repair the harm done to the juveniles'community, including their school, neighborhood,trust with parents or guardians,and the victim. Diversion participants receive case management and appropriate referrals to community-based programs.The Model Programs Guide recommends basic case management and restorative justice principles for this population. The Weld County District Attorney's Office Diversion program accepts both pre-file and post-file juvenile cases though most cases are diverted prior to charges being filed with the court. Pursuant to CRS§19-2.5-402,all cases presented to the DA's Office for prosecution are reviewed by Diversion staff for eligibility. Cases determined eligible complete a Diversion intake,case management,and referrals to community-based agencies.After successful termination,the case goes into a No File status in the CDAC database Action Viewer. Cases that are filed at intake and are later determined to be Diversion eligible can still be referred by any party to the case.These cases are dismissed after successful completion of the Diversion program.The number of cases handled post-file and dismissed for Diversion are increasing significantly as players in the courtroom are better versed in Diversion. All first-time offenders aged 10-17 will be considered for diversion services.Violent, drug related,or sex offenses are not eligible.Juveniles with active gang affiliation are not eligible for Diversion. At Diversion intake,juveniles complete intake paperwork,the MAYSI II,and an intake interview.The AUDIT (Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test)and CUDIT(Cannabis Use Identification Test)are used to gain more information on use patterns,when indicated.The intake paperwork and interview are designed to determine suitability for service options,the level of case management needed,and what referrals might be appropriate. The MAYSI II affirms the need for treatment, and which type of treatment,will be included in the Diversion contract and referrals.Substance and mental health treatment are referred to outside agents who complete a further assessment. The Arizona Risk/Needs Assessment(ARNA) Instrument has been utilized in the 19th since 2016, predating the requirement of a screening tool in SB19-108.This longstanding use eased the expanded implementation of the Exhibit D,Statement of Work Page 1 of 3 Docusign Envelope ID:6B2E60CD-E035-458E-9717-88CB5C928D5D Grantee: 19th Judicial District Attorney-Diversion Project:Weld County Juvenile Diversion Program Grant#: 2026-DV-26-475-19 tool.Weld County Diversion has a robust partnership with CYDC to administer the ARNA.CYDC finds value in the ARNA for their own case planning as well and this collaboration with screening juveniles for the most appropriate level of service has been mutually beneficial. Standardized screenings are used to evaluate the juvenile and their family systems.An agreement is made based on these results.Appropriate referrals are made to a wide network of community-based services which can include evidence-based programs such as Multi-Systemic therapy and educational programming. Staff have a good understanding of the services to which they refer in order to ensure cultural,developmental,and gender appropriateness and sensitivity to Diversion participants needs. Many aspects of the program follow the 8 Principles for Effective Interventions when appropriate,specifically when addressing the Target Interventions. Services are provided to this low-risk level cohort for approximately three months.All participants receive case management, in varying degrees according to participant needs. The current goal will be to divert 100 juveniles from traditional prosecution per year. Steps that Diversion program staff take to aide a juvenile case through the Diversion program include administering risk screening tools, reviewing cases for acceptance,administration of mental health and substance abuse screens, creation of a Diversion contract with a clear understanding that contract items must be completed, maintaining records in required databases, case management,screening and submitting referrals for treatment or education needs,supervision and monitoring for compliance, and collecting and reporting data. Half of Diversion staff are Spanish speaking and Language Line is also utilized for other languages when necessary. In 2013,Weld County was named as a pilot project site in HB 13-1254.This pilot project evaluated 4 sites statewide as they used Restorative Justice Conferencing as a component of Diversion.The DA's Office Diversion program partnered with a local non-profit program to offer RJ conferences to Diversion participants. Unfortunately,this non-profit program has since closed. Fortunately,the CMP has prioritized Restorative Justice.After much research, it was determined that CMP would focus resources on RJ In schools.This has been a great addition to local schools and ideally would prevent juveniles from needing to be referred to the justice system. However,justice involved youth don't have a Restorative Justice conference option currently. The structure of the Weld County Diversion program was built intentionally so that Diversion is the least restrictive level of supervision for a juvenile who has committed a criminal offense. Diversion follows the trends of the local probation department and educates prosecutors offering pleas to ensure that Diversion remains the least restrictive option. If a juvenile were to be non-compliant with their agreement, a meeting will be held where additional sanctions will be assigned. Frequently parents have been consulted first and parents and the case manager work to help the juvenile come up with their own graduated sanctions. If a new law violation has been committed or if despite efforts the juvenile is still non-compliant,the case will be filed with the court and traditional prosecution ensues.As a matter of graduated sanctions,the juvenile is 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. Successful completion of agreements are verified by the juvenile providing proof that the conditions have been complied with during the expected time frames with no new law violations resulting in a delinquency filing. Upon verification of successful completion,the case receives"no file"status in the Colorado District Attorneys' Council database Action, noting completion of the Diversion Program as an explanation for why charges are not filed. Cases that do not successfully complete sanctions or where a new law violation occurs are filed with the Court and are prosecuted accordingly. If Diversion juveniles were to go through the traditional judicial process requiring the time of judges,court personnel,and probation officers,the cost to serve those juveniles would be significantly higher.
