16. Project Plan
The Weld County District Attorney's Office Juvenile Diversion Program has been providing Diversion to first time juvenile offenders since 2005,
with an emphasis on Restorative Justice conferencing for Diversion participants since 2013, when the program was named a RJ Pilot Program
as a part of HB 13-1254. Allocated funding will support one Juvenile Diversion Case Manager, costs associated with the Diversion Program, and
will fund Restorative Justice services through a contracted agent.
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, which could include Restorative
Justice. The Model Programs Guide recommends basic case management and restorative justice principles for this population.
The Weld County District Attorney's Office Diversion program is a pre -file Diversion program with referrals coming from the Juvenile Unit of the
District Attorney's Office. Cases are staffed at intake and determined who will be offered Diversion. 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 upon intake to 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.
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. Implementing a
supplemental substance tool was a goal for January of 2016 and this AUDIT and CUDIT have been satisfactory. 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 Instrument has been utilized for a few years now, to determine risk level of re -offense. As a screening tool
will be required to be administered on all cases prior to Diversion determination program staff will continue to use a screening tool, just at a
different time point.
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. Additionally, all cases that range from a petty offense to a class 3 felony are assessed for a
referral to Restorative Justice programming.
Services provided are consistent with the findings of effective programs through the on -going DCJ Diversion evaluation conducted by OMNI.
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 Restorative Justice Conferencing. 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 150 juveniles from
traditional prosecution per year. This is done at a cost of approximately $1020 per juvenile 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 CDAC and ETO databases, case management, screening and submitting referrals for treatment needs or referral to
Restorative Justice conferencing, supervision and monitoring for compliance, and collecting and reporting data. If those 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.
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 has an MOU with a local non-profit program, Youth and
Family Connections, to offer RJ conferences to Diversion participants. As a result of being a pilot program, Restorative Justice is wholly
integrated within the processes at this point. A significant amount of the funding allocation will be used to further this collaboration and continue
to provide Restorative Justice services to Juvenile Diversion participants in Weld County. Turnover at the community based non-profit has been a
disruption to service and is an on -going consideration, but the DA's Office is committed to restorative solutions for Diversion youth.
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.
17. Provide a brief narrative of collaborative efforts and additional agencies included in planning and implementation of project!
program.
In Weld County, the Diversion program is primarily based on a pre -file system. All cases that come to the office, allegedly committed by a
juvenile with 2 or few prior cases are forwarded from the intake secretary to the Diversion Director for review. An initial determination regarding
eligibility for the Diversion program is made by the Diversion team. Simultaneously, the prosecutors determine probable cause and whether the
case would go through traditional prosecution absent Diversion. The ARNA screening tool will be incorporated in the next fiscal year after
validation in the state of Colorado.
Once it's determined that prosecutorial action will occur on a case, then a staffing with the juvenile unit, consisting of Diversion staff, juvenile
prosecutors, victims/witness representative and the chief of the juvenile unit is held and determinations are made on which cases will be offered
Diversion. In some cases, no action is taken after this review process. Additionally, in some cases, it's decided to prosecute a case and after
the case has been filed and more information gathered, it's determined that Diversion makes more sense for the case. At that point, Diversion is
offered and if appropriate, the case
is dismissed as a result of acceptance into the program. Further, the Diversion Director reviews all detention screens to determine if those
cases could be handled in Diversion. This review will include the screening tool once implemented.
Case management is provided by the program but counseling or classes are not offered in-house as those programs are already offered by
community partners. Youth and Family Connections
offers Restorative Justice and classes specific to juvenile needs. A formal MOU exists with Youth and Family Connections regarding the referral
of Diversion youth to Restorative Justice. Weld County was part of the Restorative Justice Pilot Program and RJ has become so valuable, it is
planned that some Diversion dollars will be used to continue to support Diversion kids participating in RJ.
Additionally, North Range Behavioral Health is frequently referred to for counseling services. Many options, such as the community center or
food bank, are referred to as well to best meet the
participants needs. Prior to COVID-19 pausing gym operations, the program had been exploring partnering with a local gym to provide passes to
youth to participate in specific youth programming offered by a personal trainer. This sort of partnership will be explored again when possible.
The Director is the current chair of the CYDC Juvenile Services Planning Committee and a non -mandated member of the CMP.
18. Describe how evidence -based programs and practices are utilized in operation of this program.
The program was developed based on the community needs and did not duplicate an existing Evidence -Based Program, however, the program
unintentionally replicated many aspects of the Adolescent Diversion Program from Michigan State University, a program rated Effective by the
National Institute of Justice (crimesolutions.gov), as this program also diverts youth from formal processing into community based services.
Additionally, the program frequently refers to Restorative Justice (promising), Functional Family Therapy (effective), Multisystemic Therapy
(effective), Strengthening Families (effective), and community based mentoring (there are three options available locally that combine effective
and promising components). All of these programs can be found in the OJJDP Model Programs Guide.
Additionally, the program is able to measure success using evaluation data from OMNI.
19. If incentives will be included in the services to be provided, specifically describe the incentives, how eligibility to receive
incentives will be determined, how they will be administered, and how they will be tracked.

25. How are you utilizing additional funds to expand or enhance previous programming (if applicable)?
The Weld DA Diversion Program strives to match families to existing community based services that families are able to access and utilize
outside of judicial involvement. One great partnership has been with the non-profit agency, Youth and Family Connections, to provide RJ
conferencing for Diversion participants. A portion of allocated funds will support Restorative Justice at that agency so that they are able to
provide RJ conferencing to Diversion youth.
Restorative Justice programming allows the program to serve youth that might not otherwise fit with other community programming, therefore
wouldn't be eligible for Diversion. The use of RJ has allowed the program to expand who is able to be served by Weld County Diversion. This is a
valuable partnership for Diversion youth but also for victims and schools in Weld County,
26. How are you providing minority youth with equitable opportunities to access diversion services?
The biggest impact on minority youth getting equitable access to Diversion was when processes were changed so that Diversion staff were able
to review every single case, rather than be referred cases from a third party. Deputy District Attorney's revolve through juvenile assignments fairly
quickly as they advance in their careers. As such, being beholden to frequently changing prosecutors with their own biases referring cases
meant that there did not seem to be equitable access. Once Diversion staff were able to look at every case, in conjunction with many trainings
on bias, anecdotally these numbers were able to change to reflect a more equitable distribution of Diversion opportunities. Generally, Weld
County Diversion participants have been more likely to be Hispanic females, which is opposite of the statewide data. This has not been the
breakout for the current fiscal year which is interesting as that's been a long held trend. However, the program did question the relatively lower
number of males served and has focused on boys access to Diversion in the past year. This reflects that focusing on underserved populations
can be effective in providing equitable opportunities for Diversion.
The Director was approached by OMNI to see when screening changes occurred to determine if it could be shown that Diversion staff reviewing
every case could elicit a more equitable distribution of Diversion. Unfortunately, these changes predated existing data and so that couldn't be
studied. However, it is a priority for Diversion participant data to at least match the demographics of the community.
27. Please explain how you may adjust your program this year based on last year's results
See instructions for further information. Enter "NA" if this is a new (not a continuation) grant application.
Based on last years results, numbers were low due to the pandemic. Events that historically result in juveniles engaging in criminal behavior
that lead them to Diversion, such as the Greeley Stampede, were cancelled. Limited social activities decreased the opportunity that juveniles
had to engage in criminal behaviors. As such, responding to a decrease in numbers for a plan covering a fiscal year in which those events are
currently planned to return, doesn't feel responsible.
Restorative Justice has been a concern as the program struggles to maintain consistent, trained facilitators. This has severely impacted the
utilization of RJ in Diversion in the past year. The community based program does have someone who has completed training as of right now,
but their commitment to the project is an on -going conversation. Based on the current state of that conversation, adjustments won't be made at
this time.

***1.25.21 APPROVED BUDGET REVISION:
Had a budget of $5000 for travel.
When the budget was created, we were still under the impression that the lock downs
and Zoom calls would be short term. That has not been how the fiscal year has played
out. It is not anticipated at this time that we will need to use any money for travel and
at this time, will move money out of that line item bringing it to $0.

CONSULTANTS/CONTRACTS
(PROFESSIONAL SERVICES)
CC 1 Restorative
$ 53,000
The Weld County District Attorney's Office will contract with a local non-profit with
Justice
Restorative Justice Programming to provide Restorative Justice conferencing for
Diversion participants. This is an established relationship with a community partner.
***1.25.21 APPROVED BUDGET REVISION:
Had budgeted $65,000 for Restorative Justice represented in the Contracts line item.
This was reflective of the costs of the program as it existed in April when we
completed the plan application. A new Executive Director was hired to lead the non-
profit that houses our RJ programming. He started in January 2020. He has evaluated
programming, funding, and the impacts of COVID. Once he had a fuller picture,
starting in August he started restructuring the non-profit to better reflect the reality of
this new world. As a part of that restructuring, the existing two staff left and it was
intended that two other staff would shift their work to do part time RJ and part time
other roles within the agency. By the beginning of October, these staff determined that
they would leave their roles at the agency. This process had already resulted in
decreased spending in the first quarter.
The Executive Director of the non-profit and the Diversion Director met multiple times
about moving forward with staffing RJ and it was determined that the program would
hire one full time person. This was accomplished in December and he started
12/28/2020. This left a full quarter where there weren't any RJ conferences. Despite
work on the future and structure of RJ programming occurring during that quarter, the
non-profit did not bill for RJ services.
After all of the changes in the RJ program in the first half of the fiscal year are
accounted for, our estimated needs for Restorative Justice are $37,273. This is
$27,727 less than initially budgeted.
