Project:Weld County Juvenile Diversion Program 2015-DV-14-003096
Project Summary
All projects must demonstrate a capability to impact the reduction of crime
and/or the improvement of the administration of justice.
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.
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 200 10-17 year olds who face a first time criminal case will be
served at a cost to the state of approximately $381 per person.
Agency Description:
Describe what your agency does and how it relates to Juvenile Diversion.
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.
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 6.1% compared to the state average of 19% for DCJ Diversion
grantees. The Program Director will be paid from grant funds. The Program
Director spends 100% of her time on this project. 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. If fully funded by this grant and additionally sought funds, the
goal is to hire a case manager during the 2014-2015 fiscal year. This person
will need to be bilingual to help facilitate the needs of our community.

Project: Weld County Juvenile Diversion Program 2015-DV-14-003096
Weld County is a large and diverse county located in Northern Colorado. The
county seat and population center is located in Greeley. As such, most district
level juvenile cases originate from the Greeley Police Department. The Weld
County District Attorney's Office Juvenile Diversion program is structured so
that Diversion staff input is integral in each case presented to the DA's Office.
The Diversion Program housed in the DA's office allows cases to go through the
Diversion process without the case being filed with the Court.
A positive trend, and one seen statewide, is the decrease in juvenile cases
being presented for prosecution. In 2012, the DA's Office filed 985 cases with
the court and diverted an additional 102 cases. In 2013, only 975 cases in total
were sent to the DA's Office for consideration of prosecution. The DA's Office
Diversion Program has been responsive to this positive decrease and has
evolved to best serve the community. As a result of these changes, the amount
of cases being considered for Diversion has increased despite a decrease in
the number of cases presented. From 2008-2012, 8-9% of cases were diverted
annually. In 2013, 14% of all cases received in the office were diverted.
Previously these cases would have been prosecuted but because of changes in
the Diversion process, we are able to offer Diversion services to these juveniles.
Like our Diversion Program, Weld County has experienced positive growth in
the past several years, including a decrease in unemployment and an increase
in high school graduation rates. Despite economic advances during the
economic recovery, 51% of the 37, 243 pupils residing in Weld County still
receive free and reduced lunch according to the Colorado Department of
Education. Looking at Greeley, where 83% of Diversion cases originated in
2013, the number of free and reduced lunch eligible students' increases to 60%
of all students. Even though numbers of youth committing criminal offenses
appears to be declining, the need level of each individual youth presented is
not. According to North Range Behavioral Health, the community mental health
service in Weld County, the amount of high school students receiving free,
school-based mental health services has doubled in the past three years. The
implementation of the MAYSI II assessment tool in Diversion programming will
allow us to more accurately refer Diversion youth to necessary mental health
treatment.
The declining numbers of juvenile criminal cases is very positive for our field;
however, within the remaining number of cases presented, the rate of cases
where Diversion versus traditional prosecution is in the best interest of the
juvenile remains. The proper dosage and method of intervention for these
juveniles remains essential to their success. The Weld County Diversion
Program allows first time juvenile offenders the chance to have their needs met
while avoiding the stigma of a criminal record or probation officer. In the 2
years where juvenile diversion wasn't offered in Weld County, a VanDenBerg
Community Assessment cited multiple times the need for Diversion
programming as a part of the continuum in juvenile justice service delivery.
DCJ Diversion funds allow our Diversion program to function. Through these
funds, we are able to meet the needs not only of individual juveniles but of the
juvenile justice system as a whole.

Project:Weld County Juvenile Diversion Program 2015-DV-14-003096
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.) Police agencies issue juveniles a Voluntary Promise to Appear form at the
time of contact. This form, along with a Probable Cause statement and/or
report are forwarded to the District Attorney's Office. Internally, the report is
forwarded to the Diversion Director to do a thorough file review to determine
appropriateness for Diversion. A Deputy District Attorney then reviews the case
to determine that Probable Cause exists and the case would be prosecuted
absent Diversion. Upon intake of appropriate juveniles, criteria for acceptance
includes the juvenile's level of responsibility for their behavior, issues with the
juvenile that prevent the diversion program from being the appropriate level to
address their needs, level of parental involvement, attitude, and an absence of
active gang affiliation. This occurs at the pre-filing stage. Upon successful
completion of the Diversion agreement, the case is dismissed within the internal
system provided by CDAC. A court record is never created.
C.) All juvenile cases are staffed with by the Diversion Director, juvenile
prosecutors and victims advocate to determine Diversion and Restorative
Justice appropriateness. Cases that are referred to Diversion will complete an
informal assessment that the Director has crafted based on the CYOLSI and
probation presentence investigation questions. Additionally, by July 1, 2014, all
juveniles will complete a MAYSI II assessment electronically at the time of
intake. Formal and informal assessment results will shape the sanctions
included in the Diversion Agreement. Mental health and substance treatment
will be referred out to community partner agencies.
D.) All first time offenders aged 10-17 will be considered for diversion services.
Violent or drug related 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 assessments 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 200 juveniles from traditional prosecution per year. This is done at a cost
of approximately $381 per juvenile per year. If those juveniles were to go

Project:Weld County Juvenile Diversion Program 2015-DV-14-003096
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.) Restorative principles have long been incorporated in the Weld County
Diversion Program. For many years, we have had one or two consistent
volunteers offering Restorative Justice conferences for certain offenses. 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. A new program has been created
in partnership with a local non-profit program, Youth and Family Connections, to
offer RJ conferences to Diversion participants.
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-
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.
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.

The Weld County Diversion Program is not a replication of an evidence based
program, however, components of several evidence based activities are
implemented. According to RKC Group
Roger Przybylski (February 2008). What Works Effective Recidivism Reduction
and Risk-Focused Prevention Programs A Compendium of Evidence-Based
Options for Preventing New and Persistent Criminal Behavior Retrieved from
http://dcj.state.co.us/ors/pdf/docs/WW08 022808.pdf, multiple components of
the Weld County Diversion Program are listed as effective such as Restorative
Justice, Multi-Systemic Therapy and Family Functional Therapy. Community
partners offer these programs and open and frequent communication regarding
the involvement of Diversion youth in these programs occurs. Additionally, Risk
Principle is named in this document as well as in the 8 Principles for Effective
Interventions. Risk Principle is important when working with low-level offenders
so that more harm is not caused as a result of intervention. Participants do
receive assessment to help determine the appropriate level of intervention.
Findings from the OMNI DCJ Diversion evaluation are used and help guide
necessary changes to the program. The Weld County Diversion Program is
fortunate in that it is able to be a part of an evaluation study of Diversion
Programming as little literature on Diversion currently exists. We are able to
use these evaluation results and inform our program while the research is on-
going.

Provide a narrative description of the population to be served including
age, gender, race/ethnicity and other characteristics of those the project
is intending to serve. Describe how gender/language/cultural issues will
be addressed. See instructions for further information.
Based on the historical demographic data of the Diversion Program, the gender
and ethnic backgrounds of the participants have remained stable and consistent
with the demographics from the Colorado Department of Education (CDE)
specific to Greeley. CDE data indicates that 58% of the Greeley-Evans School
District 6 is comprised of minority students. Greeley is the largest referral
source for the Diversion Program, and the ethnic representation seen in the
schools is also seen in program make up. Of those minority students, 55%
identify as Hispanic/Latino. As a result, approximately 25% of those juveniles
have parents who require Spanish Language translation. Spanish speakers are
employed by the office and are available for assistance at all times. A major
need is a devoted Diversion case manager who is Spanish speaking. If all
funding opportunities explored are fully funded, a Spanish speaking case
manager will be hired in this fiscal year. Historically, each gender is
represented equally.
In addition to language translation needs, our target population regularly deals
with poverty, lack of transportation and/or reliable housing. There are many
existing programs in the community who try to address these needs and
working relationships with those agencies exist.

Quality Assurance Plan:
Describe your approach to evaluating your project in response to the stated objectives,
outcomes and measurement. Describe how the information that is collected in the Diversion
Intake/Exit Forms and pre-post surveys will be collected and verified; be specific about who will
be collecting the data, from whom and how(i.e., how and when will program participants be
contacted for completion of the post survey). See instructions for further information.
1) Describe your plan for collecting data on each specified outcome using the identified
measurement tools. Cite the methods that will be used to collect the data which will measure the
effectiveness of this project. Discuss tools, approaches,timelines and staff responsible for
collecting, analyzing, and evaluating the data. Include how data collected will reflect actual
numbers attributable to the awarding of this grant.
2)The applicant agency's approach to managing the data once collected;where data will be
stored or entered.
3) Describe your process to ensure the post survey is completed by youth participating in the
program.
4) Describe your agency's parental consent and youth assent procedures currently in place. As
part of the statewide evaluation, all grantees will be required to have proper consent/assent
procedures in place. Grantees may be asked to utilize forms and procedures, or to integrate
language developed by OMNI Institute into existing documents,to ensure proper permissions,
use and protection of identifiable youth data.
5) Describe staff capacity and commitment to participate in the evaluation, including ability to
attend evaluation training, and collect and enter/submit all required data, and any anticipated
barriers.
6) Describe how the agency you will track and record youth who re-offend during programming
(pre-discharge recidivism). The definition of pre-discharge recidivism is a filing for a new felony
or misdemeanor offense that occurred prior to discharge from Juvenile Diversion programming.

Project:Weld County Juvenile Diversion Program 2015-DV-14-003096
Having quick and easy access to a variety of statistics regarding program
participation is very valuable and the benefits of this have proven themselves
time and again. As such, the daily collection and updating of information that
speaks to the objectives and outcomes stated is vital. The Director collects
data at intake and exit that is either entered by the Director (intake and exit
forms) or by OMNI (pre-post-surveys). The intake and exit forms can largely be
completed by the information found in client files and the Director consults
necessary information to complete those. The juveniles take the pre-survey at
the time of intake. At the final phone check in, arrangements are made to
complete the post-survey either in the office or by mail.
1) A variety of data collection tools are employed including a basic excel
spreadsheet used as a case management tool, the ETO database, the Action
database provided by CDAC, and Data Access provided by Colorado State
Courts. All data is entered into the Excel spreadsheet, even though this means
that sometimes data entry is duplicated. The excel spreadsheet has long been
the clearinghouse for all Diversion information and is updated daily by the
Director. Once a Diversion agreement has been signed, then the client
information is entered into ETO. The intake form is completed in ETO and an
ETO number is obtained for inclusion on the pre-survey that the juvenile has
completed. Updates are made to the Action database to document the date of
diversion acceptance and other actions taken on the case. Additionally, we
have built into Action an Indicator that is marked to track which cases are
assessed for Restorative Justice, offered Diversion or Diversion plus
Restorative Justice. This allows our office to easily run reports and obtain that
information. Data Access is used to search client information for recidivism at
periodic intervals. Upon completion of the Diversion program, the excel
spreadsheet is updated, the client exit form is completed in ETO and then
dismissed from ETO, and Action is updated to say that the case will not be filed
due to the completion of Diversion. All data management is done by the
Program Director. The reports available in the ETO database make it easy to
quickly identify not only the number of participants but also demographic
information. Attention to these items can trigger the knowledge for the need of
programmatic adjustments to best serve the Diversion Population. Additionally,
for grant reporting purposes, all databases are consulted.
2) Intake and exit forms are stored in a separate file for each quarter. When
preparing grant reports, the forms are compared against the spreadsheet and
ETO to determine what updates are needed. Intake and Exit forms are stored
in the Directors office.
3) Completion of the post-survey has been a monumental challenge for a variety
of reasons. Recently, completion of the post-survey was added as a condition
of the Diversion Agreement for those who completed the intake survey. This is
not a perfect solution as the surveys are intended to be voluntary, however,
because exit survey completion rates were so low, this approach is being tried.
The amount of exit surveys completed has increased; however, this is still a
very difficult task. OMNI and DCJ have both been consulted for input.
4) The consent/assent form provided by OMNI for the pre- and post-survey is
the first item presented to parents at intake. This form is explained and then the
parents are given time to read it in private. While this often draws questions,
implementation of this form has been seamless and any updates or changes
provided by OMNI would be welcome.
5) As a long time member of the DCJ Steering Committee to address evaluation
of programs, the Director is very committed to participate in evaluation.
Training and collection and entry of this information is necessary to help
Diversion be widely understood and respected by participants and professionals

alike. The only barrier experienced is collection of exit surveys which has long
been addressed with OMNI and DCJ and we continue to adjust to help resolve
this issue.
6) If youth re-offend during the program resulting in the case being filed with the
court, the clients name in the excel spreadsheet is simply highlighted in a
different color. ETO is updated, dismissing the client accordingly. The Action
database is also updated by the juvenile intake clerical person.

Collaboration and Future Funding of Project
New Applicants
Collaboration: (attachments: District Attorney Certification)
A. Provide a short narrative of collaboration efforts between the District
Attorney's Office and community-based services.
Though it took time and effort, Diversion is now a part of the DA's Office culture
and practice when examining all juvenile cases. In part, this is how we are able
to increase our numbers during a time when fewer juvenile cases are
presented. Case management is provided by the program but counseling or
classes are not as those programs are already offered by community partners.
Youth and Family Connections offers Restorative Justice and classes specific to
juvenile needs. Referrals are made to this program regularly to serve Diversion
participants. 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.
When the District Attorney desired to recreate a 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 a diversion program to
serve. The JSPC initially offered short term funding for the program to get it
started. 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. The Director is also a voting member of the Community Review
Board. 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.
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.

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.
The Diversion Program has been funded by this grant opportunity since October
of 2006. The grant is currently funding 75% of the Director's position.
The Weld County Commissioners, through the District Attorney's office, funded
the Case Manager position from January of 2006 until June of 2008 when the
position was vacated. Since that time, the Weld County Commissioners have
committed the 25% cash match required.
By proving fiscal responsibility of the program, as well as outcome statistics that
prove that the program is effective in preventing future juvenile crime, the
diversion program aims to exhibit to collaborative agencies and other potential
funders, including the Weld County Commissioners, that the program is worth
funding.
Possible funding will be provided to the RJ Pilot Programs based on an RJ
Surcharge assessed on all court cases. If funds are available, the program
hopes to be able to fund a much needed case manager. Additional staffing
would be incredibly beneficial to the program, but diversified funding is also
welcome.
Cost savings can best be calculated by comparing Diversion costs to that of
Probation. The most recent numbers available regarding cost for service by
probation are from 2008. These numbers indicate that 6 years ago, it cost
$2148 to serve a juvenile probation client. Compared to the cost of$381 to the
state for the Weld County Diversion Program to serve these same clients, the
cost savings is notable. 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.

TOTALS $98,471 $73,854
Budget Narrative and Justification:
The amount requested will fund the Director full-time. The Director's salary is
based on a structured and scheduled pay scale maintained by the County. The
cost of benefits for county employees is currently approximately 45% of the
base salary.
Cost of living increases around 3% could potentially occur at the start of each
calendar year of the three-year funding cycle and will be factored in to budget
requests in continuation applications. A scheduled step increase for the
Director salary should occur in August of 2015. Taxes and retirement benefits
are a percentage of an employee's salary, therefore, as salaries increase,
benefit costs will also increase.
The amount included for the Director's position includes the annual base salary
of$67,701 with $30,770 in benefits, totaling $98,471. The Director Position for
the Youth and Family Connections program was posted at a starting salary of
$75,000 plus benefits. Recent adjustments place that base salary near
$95,000.
