Each local CYDC program has a Juvenile Services Planning Committee (JSPC) and a local CYDC Coordinator to have oversight of the implementation of local CYDC Services. Detailed descriptions of the program structure and roles of CYDC staff, along with the enabling statutes can be found in the CYDC Reference Manual.
HELPFUL TERMS
Fast Track/Track:
The Fast Track Program is designed to divert youth who have a pending charge from being detained at a juvenile facility, allowing the youth to return home pending the court date. The Juvenile Assessment Center staff will provide the youth and family with a Promise to Appear that includes a court date as well as an appointment with a CYDC Pretrial Case Manager.
Pre-File vs. Pre-Trial:
-
Designed to divert (eligible) youth from entering the justice system through a filed court case. These youth would be referred to Diversion by the Juvenile Assessment Center and would have an appointment scheduled with the Jefferson County Diversion Program for the screening process. If it is determined by Jefferson County Diversion they are appropriate and accepted to the Pre-File Program, the criminal charges would not be filed. If the youth deemed to not be appropriate and are declined by Jefferson County Diversion or the youth fails out of the Pre-File program due to noncompliance, the family is referred back to the Juvenile Assessment Center and the steps of the Fast Track Program are then completed.
-
If the youth is deemed ineligible for Diversion, a CYDC Pretrial Case Manager will then meet with the family on the designated date to offer the youth and family the opportunity to voluntarily participate in a supervision contract. This supervision can also assist in providing the youth and family services which could help support them through the court process. CYDC Pretrial Case Managers attend court and provides updates regarding the youth’s progress and compliance.
