(maximum length = 1,000 characters) The Weld County District Attorney's Office prosecutes county and district level offenses that occur in the 19th Judicial District/Weld County. The Juvenile Diversion Program is a part of the DA's office and diverts juvenile cases prior to cases being filed with the juvenile court. Diversion assessment, case management, and evaluation are provided by the program. Agency Capacity: (attachments - organizational chart, list of board members (if agency is a non-profit) and job descriptions) Describe your agency's experience with similar projects and in managing state and/or federal grant funds. Identify staff to be associated with the proposed project and indicate which staff will be paid from these grant funds. Describe the staff qualifications and level of diversity. Include plans to train staff assigned to the proposed project. See instructions for further information. (maximum length = 1,000 characters) The current Diversion Program has been diverting juveniles from prosecution since 2005. The program has been funded in part by DCJ Juvenile Diversion grant funds since 2006. The statewide Diversion evaluation conducted by OMNI calculates that our program has a During and Post-Program recidivism rate of only 8.1% compared to the state average of 19% for DCJ Diversion grantees. Salaries for the Program Director and case manager will be paid from grant funds. The Director started as a case manager with the program in January of 2006 and has been the Program Director since July of 2008. The Director holds a Bachelors of Science Degree in Family Studies. The case manager was hired in October 2014. She was an intern with the Diversion program from January 2013-May of 2014 and holds a Bachelors of Arts degree in Criminal Justice. She is also bilingual Spanish speaking.

Provide a short narrative of collaboration efforts between the District Attorney's Office and community-based services. (maximum length = 3,000 characters) 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 immediately given by the intake secretary to the Diversion Director for review. An initial determination regarding eligibility for the Diversion program is made by the Diversion Director and then the case is forwarded to the assigned juvenile prosecutor. The prosecutors determine probable cause and whether the case would go through traditional prosecution absent Diversion. 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. Additionally, in some cases, we determine to prosecute a case and after the case has been filed and seen before the judge, 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. 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 regarding the referral of Diversion youth to the Restorative Justice Pilot Program. Restorative Justice is offered to many Diversion youth covered by state Diversion funds but all accounting for the two programs are kept separate and do not overlap. Rigourous checks and balances have been put in place with the County Accounting Department to ensure such separation. 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 suite the participants needs. B. Identify additional agencies, organizations, and planning groups that have been included in the planning and implementation of this project. Describe involvement with local Collaborative Management Project (HB1451), if applicable. (maximum length = 3,000 characters) Application Form Page 7 12/08/2015 Applicant: District Attorney's Office, 19th Judicial District 84309308 Project: Weld County Juvenile Diversion Program -Year 3 2017-DV-17-010297 When the former District Attorney desired to create the current Diversion Program in the 19th Judicial District, he first contacted the Senate Bill 94 Juvenile Services Planning Committee (JSPC) to determine the need for a diversion program and to learn what population the members of that group would like the program to serve. The JSPC initially offered short term funding for the program to get it started as it was such a need in the community. Since the beginning, the Diversion Program has worked closely with the JSPC. In addition to the JSPC board, the Director is a member of the JSPC Sub-Planning Committee. The Director is also a voting member of the Community Review Board and the Weld County Prevention Partnership. The Diversion program is a CMP partner program with the local 1451 Collaborative and reports as such in their annual reports. The program director is in constant communication with the probation department and Youth and Family Connections (the juvenile assessment agency) to determine appropriate levels of service for the identified population and to share relevant information and ideas to make juvenile services in Weld County more effective and efficient. It is in these meetings that holes in existing services are identified and shared so that all are able to get a broad picture of the system as a whole. Many juvenile justice professionals in the community desire to be able to divert many youth. Through involvement and communication with all of the above named groups, all programs serving juveniles in Weld County can better meet the needs of our population. Collaboration with agencies helps to ensure that duplication of services is not occurring. Through communication with these agencies, it is known that the Diversion Program is successfully meeting the needs of the intended population as it relates to the juvenile justice continuum and could expand with full funding. Future Funding of Project: Describe the steps you have taken to diversify your funding sources, and/or incorporate this project into local funding sources indicating broad-based community support and sources of future funding. (maximum length =2,000 characters) Application Form Page 8 12/08/2015 Applicant: District Attorney's Office, 19th Judicial District 84309308 Project: Weld County Juvenile Diversion Program -Year 3 2017-DV-17-010297 The Diversion Program has been funded by this grant opportunity since October of 2006. For fiscal year 15-16, the grant is funding 50% of the Director's position and 100% of the Case Managers position, less the 25% cash match provided by Weld County. In fiscal year 15-16, Restorative Justice Pilot funds cover the other 50% of the Director salary in order to complete requirements mandated by HB 13-1254 which names Weld County Diversion as a Pilot Program. Additional funds for Weld County Diversion have been much needed for years. In fiscal year 15-16, DCJ provided funds for a case manager at 100%. This increase in staffing allowed us to be able to have a returned survey rate of over 75% and made time available for us to be able to evaluate data in a manner that would be helpful in improving and advancing our program, while still meeting the needs to Diversion youth in standard Diversion programming and also those taking part in the Restorative Justice Pilot Program. These funds from DCJ have allowed our program to finally advance in the manner that we've long desired it to progress. Additional funding sources outside of DCJ are often not a good fit, as those funds are frequently limited and require an amount of additional work that doesn't necessarily allow desired expansion of pre-file Diversion. However, it is difficult for local programs to justify using scarce dollars to fund a project that would serve youth who would otherwise be served by a state program (Probation). While Diversion is an integral component of the juvenile justice continuum, absent DCJ funding, it would not be a reality in Weld County.

(maximum length =2,000 characters) Provide: a. Number of youth served (July 1, 2014- Present) b. Number of youth to successfully complete your program (July 1, 2014- Present) c. Number of post tests collected (July 1, 2014-Present) d. Calculate your pre/post survey collection rate by dividing the number of post-tests collected by the number of youth to successfully complete programming (75 post-tests/100 youth to successfully complete programming = 75%). If your post-test collection rate is below 50%, describe your efforts to increase the number of post-tests collected to reach at least 50% Data reflects surveys received by OMNI between July 1, 2014 -June 30, 2015 a. There were 159 total youth entered into the ETO data collection system in this time period. b. Of the youth who completed the program in this time period, 110 youth completed successfully. c. Of the youth who completed successfully, 84 post tests were matched with a completed pre-test. d. This data reflects a survey completion rate of 76.4%. Previously, our survey completion rate was considerably lower. As a result, much of the data collected in these surveys was not of use to us since the sample size was too small. Also, as our program serves a larger number of kids than many other funded programs, when our matched survey rate numbers increased, the amount of usable data for DCJ Diversion programs as a whole was positively impacted. Our current survey rate is directly attributed to the funding for a full time case manager. Absent the manpower to complete all necessary tasks, the survey rate would not be what it is today. Summary of Past Performance: (maximum length =4,000) a. Address the extent to which each of the project's goals and objectives were met. Describe the impact produced in the target population as a result of receiving program services. At a minimum, include the number of youth served, type of services provided, dosage and the resulting outcomes, include supporting documentation. b. Describe the objectives that were partially achieved or not achieved, and any problems encountered, provide an explanation. c. Explain how you confirmed your project has made progress towards successfully achieving the stated goals. Application Form Page 10 12/08/2015 Applicant: District Attorney's Office, 19th Judicial District 84309308 Project: Weld County Juvenile Diversion Program -Year 3 2017-DV-17-010297 a. Our goal to reduce the number of juveniles who would receive juvenile delinquency filings absent a Diversion program continues to be met. For the current fiscal year, we hope to divert 150 youth, however, our juvenile case numbers have declined significantly so far in calendar year 2015. We've begun looking at diverting a percentage of cases that come to the juvenile unit for prosecution versus a set number. This change to how we've been setting Diversion outcome numbers will be further examined once we have calendar year 2015 data available. The DCJ/OMNI data report from fiscal year 14-15 indicates that 159 youth were served. That calendar year was the first year that we begun using the MAYSI II and 99% of youth were screened with that tool. Additionally, we've been using the CRAFFT, however, after reviewing the data provided by OMNI, we are unlikely to continue that tool and are investigating other options. Other objectives include providing in-house case management and referrals to appropriate services. Our data states that in FY 14-15, 100% of youth received case management, 52% participated in Restorative Justice, 45% completed special projects, 34% were referred to counseling, and 31% completed community service. Our second goal is to increase the matched survey rate, which we have successfully done with the addition of funds to allow us to be at an appropriate staffing level. Additionally, reports from OMNI indicate that our matched survey rate is 76.4%, exceeding the target of 65%. b. We have an objective for FY15-16 to divert 150 youth. As previously stated, juvenile case numbers have decreased in calendar year 2015 even more than we've seen in the past few years. As such, it is unknown if it is realistic that we'll meet the goal of diverting 150 youth. However, we are looking at the percentage of youth being diverted and with the addition of staff and programming options, we are increasing the percentage of juvenile cases being diverted over years past. This has been achieved by diverting youth who are at a higher risk of re-offense or have a greater need level, than we would have accepted into Diversion in years past. c. The data entered into ETO and reports directly out of that system and also provided by OMNI is invaluable to help us confirm that we are making progress in achieving stated goals. We also maintain Excel spreadsheets and utilize the Action database as provided by the Colorado District Attorney's Council to maintain records and run reports. OMNI Institute Suggested Changes a. Describe how the results from your agency's individual evaluation report, provided by OMNI Institute, suggests to make changes and/or improvements to your Juvenile Diversion program. Application Form Page 11 12/08/2015 Applicant: District Attorney's Office, 19th Judicial District 84309308 Project: Weld County Juvenile Diversion Program -Year 3 2017-DV-17-010297 The most notable outcome of the OMNI report is regarding substance abuse assessment. Our program has never served drug offenses and so substance use and abuse hadn't been a focus. However, with changes at the state and local level, assessment for substances needs to be more robust than it previously has been. As a result, we added the CRAFFT screening tool. In reviewing the OMNI data, which states that only 1% of the youth screened indicated a need for further screen, we determined that the CRAFFT is likely not the best screening instrument for our program. As a result, we are researching other options to best screen for substance use. Additionally, we desire to be able to determine a way to interface with OMNI to determine which specific sanction items impact which of the items in the pre/post surveys. As a part of the RJ Pilot Program, much effort has been expended in incorporating Restorative Justice into Diversion programming. We will ask for additional funds from DCJ to work with OMNI to determine if Restorative Justice impacts the desired changes or if perhaps, it's another Diversion intervention that impacts change. Project Changes/Improvements: b. Describe any significant budgetary changes from the previously funded project. See instructions for further information. (maximum length =4,000) Budgetary changes are a result of a Cost of Living wage adjustment anticipated to occur in January 2017 for all staff, as well as any scheduled step-increases which are a part of the County mandated pay schedule. Additional funds will be requested to contract with OMNI to determine which programming options affect change in Diversion participants in Weld County.

Project Summary: Include a brief description of the project for which you are requesting Juvenile Diversion funds to implement. Also include target population, estimated number to be served annually and cost per person. See instructions for further information. (maximum length = 1,000 characters) The Weld County District Attorney's Juvenile Diversion Program works to divert first-time, non-violent juvenile offenders from the traditional court system into restorative programming to address the juvenile's needs and community safety; repairing the harm caused and encouraging their future endeavors. Approximately 150 10-17 year olds who face a first time criminal case will be served at a cost to the state of approximately $650 per person. Project Description: Describe the project to be implemented in this proposal. This section should clearly and succinctly describe what is going to be done and responsible parties. Address the number of clients to be served,types of services and cost per client of providing direct services. At a minimum address the following. See instructions for further information. (maximum length = 9,500 characters) a. Program philosophy including treatment and supervision approaches. b. Referral sources. c. Formal and informal screening and assessment tools utilized, and purpose(e.g., substance abuse/mental health needs, appropriateness for the program, risk level, protective, recidivism, service referral, case management). Outline your process to screen, assess and refer youth to treatment based on their needs, noting whether these functions are performed in-house or referred out. If a process is not currently in place, please describe your plan to implement a screening and assessment process during the funded grant cycle. d. Acceptance criteria for referrals and any acceptance restrictions such as age or type of crime. e. Specific services to be provided from acceptance to discharge. f. Provide a list of Restorative Justice Practices. g. How graduated sanctions will be applied if a youth continues to offend while in the program. h. Criteria for discharge from the program Application Form Page 13 12/08/2015 Applicant: District Attorney's Office, 19th Judicial District 84309308 Project: Weld County Juvenile Diversion Program -Year 3 2017-DV-17-010297 A.) The Weld County District Attorney's Office Juvenile Diversion 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. B.) 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. 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. These cases are dismissed upon intake to the Diversion program. This is a small number of cases per year but is an option when Diversion is the best fit. C.) At Diversion intake, juveniles complete intake paperwork, the MAYSI II and an intake interview. Previously the CRAFFT tool was being used but other options are being sought. 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. The MAYSI provides some information regarding need for substance treatment, however, we are looking for an additional tool. Ideally this instrument will be selected and implemented prior to the start of the fiscal year for which we are seeking funding. Substance and mental health treatment are referred to outside agents who complete a further assessment. D.) 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 services. Additionally, all cases that range from a petty offense to a class 3 felony are assessed for a referral to Restorative Justice programming. E.) 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 a minimum of 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 $650 per juvenile per year. Steps that Diversion program staff take to aide a juvenile case through the Diversion program include reviewing cases for acceptance, administration of mental health and substance abuse Application Form Page 14 12/08/2015 Applicant: District Attorney's Office, 19th Judicial District 84309308 Project: Weld County Juvenile Diversion Program -Year 3 2017-DV-17-010297 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. F.) In 2013, Weld County was named as a pilot project site in HB 13-1254. This pilot project will evaluate 4 sites statewide as they use 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 and reports on such to the Colorado Restorative Justice Council. Current offerings by this agency include Conference Circles, ReStore shoplifting conferences, and Rethinking Substances conferences. G.) 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- I 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 ll 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. H.) 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. 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.

(maximum length =2,000 characters) Historically, the demographics of the Diversion program have closely followed the racial and ethnic demographics of Greeley/Evans School District 6, as this is the district where a large majority of Diversion referrals attend school. The Weld County Diversion program gender make up is different than that of the state DCJ funded Diversion grantees in that a higher percentage of our youth served are female. This is something addressed with referral agents so that we have appropriate referrals for females needing early intervention at the Diversion level. We have a high rate of families with limited financial means. In Greeley/Evans School District 6, nearly 65% of students receive free or reduced lunch. This means that families face many obstacles such as transportation, housing, and an inability to pay for services that require a fee for service. There are programs in the community that have been able to help assist these families on a referral basis. It's estimated that around 25% of parents of Diversion youth require Spanish language translation and the Diversion Case Manager is Spanish speaking. She is responsible for all case management for juveniles with monolingual Spanish speaking parents or juveniles who are more comfortable in the Spanish language.
