“Tracking” services as part of this program have historically focused on setting and/or enforcing rules to

address immediate community safety concerns and accountability, along with providing guidance and

support to children and families involved with delinquency proceedings. The primary goal of this

program is to assist the Youth in successfully remaining within the community by assuring daily

accountability of the Youth, in turn curtailing further law violations. The program shall provide

supervision and structure, a link between the Youth and their Juvenile Court Officer, referral for

additional services when needed, teaching and modeling of appropriate skills, and crisis intervention as

needed. The hours of service for this program shall be flexible and delivered so as to best meet these

goals, particularly outside the regular workday hours of the JCO. Program services will be individualized

based on the Youth’s level of risk in the community to assist the Youth in reduction of delinquency risk

factors.
