PROPOSED FUNDING
Juvenile Accountability Incentive Block Grant
OVERVIEW
The Michigan Family Independence Agency approved the Juvenile Accountability Incentive
Block Grant to provide financial resources for the Prosecutor's Office and the Community
Corrections Division as they become more involved with implementing programs that help youth
develop productive lives. The Juvenile Justice system in Oakland County is making a
collaborative effort to reclaim delinquent youth with effective intervention strategies. These
strategies provide for a wide array of sanctions and services for offenders and their families, to
include a "One-Stop-Shop" pilot program called In-Step. The Waterford community has agreed
to participate in In-Step, enhancing services to the courts, communities, and families as the
program becomes a unique central diagnostic and treatment provider.
In-Step emphasizes strict surveillance and offers housing assistance, educational assistance, on-
site drug testing. on-site diagnostic testing for mental health disorders, counseling, on-site
psychiatric medication review, computers for learning, parent education classes, and case
management services for families with multiple needs. The program will operate Monday
through Friday with evening hours Monday through Thursday, to accommodate participants.
This program is proposed as a pilot, if successful, it may be implemented in other areas of
Oakland County.

The Oakland County Regional Juvenile Crime Enforcement Coalition
COORDINATED ENFORCEMENT PLAN
Revised June 1. 1999
1. Problem to be Addressed
a. identify the scope of the existing juvenile crime problem in your jurisdiction.
Juvenile crime and delinq&ncy do not result from one event or action in a young person's life.
Rather juvenile delinquency stems from a series of events, each of which presents an opportunity
for intervention and prevention of further problems. Looking at the problems to be addressed in
Oakland County as a continuum of need, the regional Juvenile Crime Enforcement Coalition is
focusing on four areas of opportunity to increase accountability for juvenile criminal offenses
and increase accountability in the juvenile justice system within the larger existing juvenile
justice needs continuum. These four areas include: Juvenile Diversion, Juvenile After Care,
Juvenile Probation, and Juvenile Facilities Improvement.
Juvenile Diversion: Local statistics suggest Oakland County mirrors the rest of Michigan in
juvenile crime statistics. While crimes by teens have declined in recent years, the percent of
students reporting such activities as illicit drug use and other anti-social behaviors have increased
substantially between 1992 and 1996. Of those juveniles typically committing crimes, 75-80%
are found to use or were using drugs during the commission of the crime. Juvenile delinquency
issues are reflected in the following Oakland County statistics: 1) use of inhalants among youth
in Oakland County is growing and is currently more than twice the national average (Michigan
Alcohol and Other Drugs Survey - 1995); 2) thirty-six percent of children in Oakland County
enter foster care because of parental substance related abuse and neglect (Michigan Department
of Social Services - 1996); 3) the 'past month' data for use of marijuana among 8th, 10th, and
12th graders in Oakland County is twice the national average (Michigan Alcohol and Other
Drugs Survey - 1993); and 4) the Oakland County Protective Services estimate the number of
their referrals where juvenile delinquency was present currently range from 65% to 80%
(Oakland Family Services - Empowering Children Study 1997).
Negative youth peer relations including gang involvement and poorly formed adult coping
interaction, which appears to precipitate drug use, are currently seen as an important component
in Oakland County juvenile delinquency statistics. The legislative mandate to deal with this
concern is that each juvenile coming within the jurisdiction of the court receives the care,
guidance. and control, preferably in their own home, conducive to the juvenile's welfare, and the
interest of the community. Juvenile diversion requires that emphasis be placed on accountability
in terms of community protection when making disposition decisions.
Research and experience to date indicates that for a juvenile delinquency prevention and
f.41/
accountability strategy to be effective, the strategy must deal with the individual youth's need for
acceptance and approval by a significant number of his peers. To achieve this, a balance
restorative justice model in dealing youth accountability is finding excellent results nation-wide.
Juvenile After Care: According to prominent experts in the field of juvenile justice, two of the
most troubling deficiencies in the system today involve: the limited attention devoted to
adequately preparing youth for return to the community while they are in confinement; and the
failure to monitor and reinforce the skills developed in treatment, once the youth are released
(see for example Altschuler and Armstrong, 1999; Fagen 1990; Springer, 1991). These systemic
problems coupled with the existence of certain identifiable risk factors among the population of
juvenile delinquents, have contributed to an alarming rate of recidivism among previously placed
youngsters.
Nationally, estimates run as high as 60% and local statistics suggest that up to 50% of the
youngsters completing a Oakland County Children's Village (a residential facility for children)
treatment program are subsequently re-adjudicated. While many youngsters manage to re-enter
community living without significant disruption, research indicates that subgroups are likely to
have serious adjustment problems. Moreover, an examination of Oakland County records reveals
that most recidivism occurs between four and nine months post-release. This is consistent with
findings in other jurisdictions ( Fagan, 1990).
Currently, youth released from Children's Village treatment programs receive 60 days of
aftercare follow-up from institutional staff per Child Care Fund guidelines and limitations. The
court has attempted to supplement these efforts by extending probation supervision to those
youth who need more intensive and/or longer term services in order to successfully transition
back to their communities. It is clear, however, that we have insufficient resources to provide the
services in the volume and intensity needed.
Juvenile Probation: The family court provides delinquency services to over 3,300 youth each
year. Service to this population is provided along a continuum of care beginning with consent
probation at $3 per day through commitment to F.I.A. at a cost of $212 per day. We have
identified the need for accountability based sanctions for youth receiving services in their own
home.
Youth under court supervision do not make changes simply because we now have a court order.
The behaviors do not always measure up to the expectations the court has placed on them. They
may engage in "technical violations", such as not making restitution payments, violation of
school rules , not maintaining employment or other behaviors which are not criminal in nature
but may not be in compliance with court orders. These behaviors are not serious enough to
require a residential placement. A consequence short of residential is needed to hold youth
accountable.
We have few alternatives available to deal with these technical violations. We occasionally may
place a youth in a residential facility for a weekend. These spaces are extremely limited and
usually not available on a timely basis. A Program of daytime weekend days will fill the void in
cost effective manner. The information presented will be designed to meet the needs of and
promote changes in this at risk population. The parent of the youth will also be asked to
participate where appropriate.
Juvenile Facilities Improvement: In identifying the scope of the existing juvenile facilities'
problems. two areas of improvements are needed to meet current safety standards and improve
the space needs of the resident-clientele, while keeping in mind the welfare of the community.
The first juvenile facilities problem is identified at the Oakland County Children's Village
complex. The existing juvenile facilities' structure was constructed in the early 1970's. The
structure was designed to Tontain a secure detention unit (housing 62 residents detained under
secure conditions while awaiting trial and /or transfer from the facility) and a separate
lobby/administrative offices area and a separate medical unit. The medical unit houses a dental
clinic, with X-ray equipment, examination and treatment rooms, nurses station and dispensary.
Youths in secure custody must (by virtue of the existing structural design) be escorted by facility
staff through the public lobby in order to access the medical unit. Often this task causes detainees
(who may require, for security reasons, being handcuffed and/or shackled) to be escorted in full
view of citizens who are in the lobby. In addition to breaching confidentiality via having to travel
through the lobby, there also exists an increased potential for escape in that the lobby is in the
"non-secure" portion of the building.
The scope of this existing juvenile facilities' structure problem is evidenced in the first two
months of 1999, when there were 264 instances in which youths received physicians' services in
the medical unit and another 79 occasions in which dental services were rendered. Simply
utilizing this sample, we then can determine that there were 686 (264 + 79 X 2) trips through the
public lobby as described above.
The second juvenile facilities problem is identified to meet the space needs of Oakland County's
newly initiated In-Step program. The In-Step program is a community-based central juvenile
diagnostic and referral center in Oakland County to which families can be referred for
comprehensive evaluation of juvenile offenders. Facility improvements are needed to provide
the space needs for the program.
b. Describe the existing programs to address the juvenile crime problem
Prosecuting Attorney: The office of Prosecuting Attorney is created by the Michigan
Constitution and its duties are prescribed by law. The Prosecuting Attorney represents the People
of the State of Michigan in criminal matters pending before all courts in Oakland County.
The prosecutor has the primary responsibility for the direction and control of criminal
prosecutions in Oakland County. The basic provision regarding the role of the Prosecuting
Attorney is found in statutes of the State of Michigan: MCLA 49.153, which provides: The
prosecuting attorneys shall, in their respective counties, appear for the state or county, and
‘73
prosecute or defend in all courts of the county, all prosecutions, suits, applications or motions,
whether civil or criminal, in which the state or county may be a party or interested. The
prosecutor is the chief law enforcement officer of the county, charged with the duty to see that
the laws are faithfully executed and enforced to maintain the rule of law. He is responsible for
the authorization of criminal warrants and the prosecution of criminal cases on behalf of the
people of the State of Michigan. He also provides legal advice to the various police agencies in
the county concerning criminal matters and investigates suspected illegal activity when it cannot
be adequately dealt with by other police departments. The Prosecutor's Office is presently
divided into eight major divisions consisting of the Administration Division, Warrants Division,
Circuit Court Division, Appellate Court Division, Family Support Division, District Court
Division, Juvenile Court Division, and the Criminal Investigations Division. Each division is
headed by a chief who maintains direct supervisory control over personnel assigned to the
division.
Family Division of the Circuit Court: With recent changes in the circuit and probate court
legislation, Oakland County's Family Division is charged with the sole and exclusive jurisdiction
to promote more efficient and effective services to families and individuals. Oakland County is
the second largest probate court district in Michigan with four elected Probate Judges and a staff
of 227 employees to serve its 1,083,000 residents. Oakland County Family Division of the
Circuit Courts exercises exclusive jurisdiction in such matters as juvenile delinquency, neglect,
abuse, adoption proceedings and juvenile traffic offenses, including delinquency and child
protective proceedings and handling cases of families and children under the age of 17 who are
alleged or adjudicated to be delinquent or neglected and abused.
Children's Village: Children's Village is Oakland County's residential facility for children and
youths who have been referred by the Family Division of the Circuit Court, district and circuit
courts, the Prosecuting Attorney, various juvenile courts throughout Michigan, and the State
Department of Social Services. The facility presents a unique tri-dimensional approach to
residential care and treatment for youngsters awaiting the adjudicative and/or disposition phases
of the court process, as well as those committed by disposition orders for the purpose of
residential treatment and maintains 213 beds in multiple living units located on a campus setting.
The Children's Village School, accredited by the North Central Association of High Schools and
Colleges, completes the self-contained/one-location feature of the facility, allowing for regular
and special education programs for grades 6-12.
Office of Community Corrections: Michigan's Community Corrections Act of 1988 grants
funds to local governments to develop Community Corrections programs. Public Act 511 was
enacted to increase the range of sanctions and services available for non-violent adult offenders
who would otherwise be incarcerated in state prisons and local jails. To this end, Oakland
County's Comprehensive Plan for Community Corrections, which was approved by the State in
1994. includes the addition of those sanctions and services essential to the development of a
comprehensive corrections system. Through the development of a local Community Corrections
Division. the foundation has been set to begin to address providing alternatives to incarceration
that: 1) protect the public; 2) punish the offender; 3) hold the offender accountable; 4) increase
v v
restitution to victims of crime; 5) provide needed rehabilitative services (e.g., substance abuse
and mental health counseling, job training and placement, and continuing education
opportunities): and (6 free up valuable jail space for more serious, violent criminals.
2. Project Design
a. Plan of action
Purpose Area = 2 - Juvenile Diversion; The plan of action is to directly address the identified
needs in this area by the creation of a Teen Court to be implemented by the Prosecutor's Office.
The project provides enhanced system options using a restorative justice model within a peer
setting, teen court is a ternidescribing a diversion program for first-time juvenile offenders
which involves youth and the community in the justice system. Additionally, the teen court will
increase the capacity to develop youth competence. Cases are referred to the teen court by law
enforcement, the Family Court, prosecuting attorney, city attorney, parents and school officials.
Cases which may be considered for teen court are those involving first-time offenders.
If the referral is accepted, the juvenile may avoid having a delinquency record by offering a plea
to the charges and appearing before the teen court jury for sentencing. At the teen court hearing
the jury, prosecuting attorney, defense attorney, bailiff and court clerk are youth volunteers who
have been previously trained by the teen court coordinator. The judge is an adult attorney who
has also volunteered his/her time to sit as teen court judge after listening to a presentation of the
facts by the prosecuting attorney and the defense attorney. The teen jury deliberates and returns
with a sentence derived from a pre-approved list of disposition alternatives. These alternatives
may include community services, restitution and service on a future teen court jury.
Jurisdictions which have an operating teen court report less than a 5% recidivism rate following
successful completion of the teen court program.
Purpose Area 7. 12 - Juvenile After Care; This project design is to begin meeting the needs
of juvenile after care for the Oakland County Family Court, in collaboration with Children's
Village. The project is for after care services for residentially placed youth and assists in the
efficiency of tracking juveniles through the system. This initiative is called "Supervised
Transitional And Re-entry Tracking," or Project START. The initiative will be implemented by
the Family Court Division of Probate Court.
A recent theme in juvenile justice program development has been the need to balance the goals
of protecting public safety and holding juveniles accountable with the goals of competency
development and rehabilitation for individual offenders. Intensive supervision models which
demonstrate the most promise of success are those that combine increased social control and
surveillance with provision of services / specialized treatment and "normalization
opportunities'. (ie. job training and placement, education, life skills training).
Advances in program research. design and technology in the past few years now make it possible
to target specific populations of youth most in need of services (through risk assessment), and
provide the necessary surveillance ( through use of tethers, tracking devices, etc). Thus, one
onent of the program will be utilization of the Michigan Family Independence Agency
quency Risk Assessment Scale to help determine youth to be enrolled. The Risk
,sment Scale can be re-administered after completion of the aftercare program to measure
fects of the services on risk for re-adjudication. Secondly. we will use electronic
.11ance equipment as appropriate. It is anticipated that we will focus primarily on youth who
ss than 17 years of age at time of discharge, who have been in placement at the secure
rth building of Children's Village and/or who present with a high risk profile on assessment
n-es.
additional key features of the project will be: over-arching case management services
ied by the contractor, to include coordinated pre-discharge planning, service provision and
al; liaison with court caseworkers monitoring of youth and family progress; 24-hour crisis
-Ise; communication and reporting to coin, and contacts with the youth prior to discharge
ablish a working rapport.
-ding to research sponsored by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention,
huler and Armstrong, 1991; 1992; National Institute of Justice, 1998), nine different
e areas have been identified for inclusion in aftercare programs that have proven successful
d the country. These elements will be included in the START project. These are: 1)
alized treatment for designated youth, such as substance abuse treatment, mental health
lent for youth with continuing emotional problems, etc.; 2) Educational opportunities,
:ing careful planning with school personnel regarding the re-enrollment of youth
/lents regarding assistance to be provided in managing youngsters in school, etc. (This is a
)nsideration, especially for younger offenders, since school personnel are often somewhat
ant to accept the return of youth, and/or may be quick to expel later); 3) Job Training and
-nent; 4) Living arrangements to be facilitated, if youth are not returning to their own
es; 5) Social Skills and basic living skills training; 6) Structured recreation and leisure
.ies; 7) Client-centered counseling , including group and individual as appropriate; 8)
y counseling; and 9) Health services, including nutritional counseling, preventative
.aintenance etc.
se Area # 7 - Juvenile Probation; The project will provide the Court with an additional
3ri to hold youth accountable without escalating to a more restrictive higher cost
ition. Referrals will be processed through weekly staffing of probation officers and
isors. Cases may also be referred by Intake referees as a result of a written case
nce agreement. The program will be called J.A.M. (Juvenile Alternatives for
nduct). Implementation is the responsibilities of the Family Court Division of the Probate
--y focus of the program is accountability. You have failed in your responsibility, therefore,
to report to J.A.M. Program content will include topics of importance to this at risk
.tion. The components are to include: A) educational skills including prevention of drug
_ohol use, smoking. HIV. STD. anger management/conflict resolution, employment skills
z. B) youth community service: C) recreation or physical challenge component. Service
be provided by a contract agency who would have responsibility for staffing, site, program
/
management and liaison with the Court.
Purpose Area # 1 - Juvenile Facilities Improvement; The first proposed capital improvement
project at Children's Village will construct a secure corridor linking the existing maximum
security detention unit to the medical- unit wing of the same building. This will provide a
connecting wing that would provide a safe, secure and private means by which to convey
detainees to/from the medical unit. This additional connecting corridor would contain
electronically operated and locking doors and be under closed-circuit television (CCTV)
surveillance and equipped with intercom audio equipment. The projects will be implemented by
the Oakland County Department of Facilities Management.
Additional capital improvTment funds are required for the previously identified space needs to
house the In-Step program, a community-based central juvenile diagnostic and referral center.
For this project, the Oakland County Community Corrections Division has identified two
potential sites for this endeavor; both locations, however, are older buildings that are in need of
significant repair. Dollars secured from this grant would be utilized to upgrade either facility,
with Oakland County supporting with matched funds. Additional grant dollars are being sought
from the Byrne Memorial Formula Grant Program for the administration of this program.
Tentative costs for renovation of either facility is estimated to be approximately $100,000 over
two years.
b. Schedule of accomplishments
The following action steps and time tasks are in a rough chronological sequence. The timetable
assumes a project start date of June 1, 1999. All program outcomes will be captured and all grant
funding will be expended within 12 months of this date.

c/7
c. List of organizations, contractors, vendors
Resource requirements for the implementation of the Coordinated Enforcement Plan fall into
three categories: organizational resources, technical resources and staffing resources.
Organizational Resources : The majority of the organizational and administrative functions to
complete the action steps and time tasks outline in this Plan will be accomplished by an inldnd
effort of existing county staff. Part of this effort will also include collaboration among the
existing program elements identified earlier in the Plan.
Technical Resources: The Oakland County government will tap its extensive in-house technical
resources, while relying on the extensive technical resources and information from the Family
Independence Agency and•the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and
Delinquency Prevention. Additionally, technical support and information from appropriate local
organizations will be sought.
Staffing Resources: It is anticipated a majority of the staffing pattern for completion of the action
outline in the Plan will be through professional services contracts. The only staff position
required will be for the teen court coordinator. This staff person will be selected based on their
skills and organizational capabilities as related to the teen court. This staff person will be
supervised and will report to the project leader within the Prosecutor's Office.
Juvenile Diversion: To successfully implement the Teen Court program in Oakland County, it
is necessary to hire a Teen Court Coordinator. The coordinator should play a significant role in
getting the program up and running in Oakland County, and after implementation would have
the following job responsibilities: 1) Receive referrals from the court, law enforcement or the
prosecutor's office, 2) Send out information packet and plea date to juvenile and parents, 3)
Communicate with the referee to determine if plea was taken, 4) Schedule a date and time for
each juvenile for their teen court appearance, 5) Recruit volunteers, 6) Train volunteers, 7)
Monitor all community service hours and restitution payments, 8) Attend all teen court sessions,
9) Maintain all forms and records, 10) Reports to referral sources, 11) Follow-up and monitor
offenders, 12) Support and encourage volunteers, and 13) Responsible for ensuring that funding
is available for the court. In order to have sufficient training and education to serve as teen court
coordinator the candidate must have a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university
and some background or experience in criminal justice.
Juvenile After Care: To implement the project, Family Court will issue an request for
proposals (RFP) for service providers able to deliver the above described services for the START
project. This project will contract with a private, not-for-profit provider to implement aftercare
programming for 19 youth most at risk to repeat offend.
Juvenile Probation: To implement this Juvenile Alternatives for Misconduct (J.A.M.) project,
Famil), Court will issue an request for proposals (RFP) for service providers able to deliver the
above described services for the Juvenile Alternatives for Misconduct project. This project will
contract with a private, not-for-profit provider to implement the program for 500 sanctioned
youth.
Juvenile Facilities Improvement: Construction work will be completed by an outside
contractor. The contractor will be hired following County procurement procedures and policies.
3. Results or Benefits Expected - Evaluation
a. Quantitative Outcomes
Juvenile Diversion - Project outcomes of the Oakland County Teen Court project are linked to
the problem statement and will focus on two dimensions: effort and effect. The project effort
evaluation will answer thrquestion of what was in fact done by the collaborative and their
program staff. If positive effects are found in this kind of effort, it is essential to be able to
document what activities produced which effects. Second, program effects will be assessed not
only through measurement of variables directly addressed in the project plan, but through
measurement of those variables that could indicate unanticipated results because of a lack of
local base line data.
The key project objectives and measurable events of the Teen Court project are: 1) To provide
misdemeanor level services to 150 target defined referred youth with 95% of those youth
completing the teen court diversion program; 2) To increase the level of restorative justice within
the positive peer environments in 90% of those served youth who participate in the teen court
program; and 3) To increase the youth feeling of self-esteem and reduce the current level of
recidivism within the target population.
Juvenile After Care - Among the measures to be used is the Delinquency Risk Assessment
Scale. Specific data collection instruments and reporting formats will be determined in
coordination with the contractor. We anticipate overall lowering of risk scores as a result of
program participation. Court records will provide re-adjudication data, and we project a 10%
decrease in recidivism rates for the program participants, relative to non-participants.
Additionally, in coordination with the service provider, we expect to set up program performance
measures related to the number of youth completing the program, counseling progress, the
number of youth successfully re-enrolled in school or participating in job placement training and
others.
Benefits to the community are two-fold. First, if just three of the total youngsters served are
prevented from recidivating and being returned to placement, the cost savings realized will pay
for the program. Further, there will be some (minimal) revenues generated through charges to
program participants whose families are able to pay. (Currently, for example, the court recoups
over $200,000 annually for probation fees assessed to the families, based upon an ability-to-pay
formula established by Reimbursement).
The second community benefit is less tangible, but obviously equally important. This is the
protection of the community through the prevention of additional serious crime which might
4/q
otherwise be perpetrated by these releasees. Again, the population we propose to serve is at
highest risk to fail in their community adjustment. By providing aggressive supports for school,
work, family and individual counseling needs, we hope to improve their chances of success, and
better ensure public safety.
Juvenile Probation: Court records will provide data relating to violation of probation and the
movement of youth to a more restrictive and costlier placements. We anticipate a higher success
rate of youth on community based treatment plans as a result of this intervention.
The cost of a youth being placed at the Oakland County Children's Village is approximately one
hundred seventy dollars a day with an average length of stay of one hundred ninety five days for
a total cost of thirty-three thousand one hundred fifty dollars. If only two youth become
successful probationers innead of being placed in the Children's Village the program will be cost
effective. Probationers will be held accountable for minor violations that otherwise might not be
dealt with.
Juvenile Facilities Improvement - Because this is a capital program component, outcome
evaluation is derived solely from the completion phases and contract monitoring of the
construction and renovations.
b. How the data is collected
Statement of confidentiality: Project evaluation and performance indicators will be designed with
ethical concerns being the major consideration over the chosen paradigm for assessment
procedures. Likewise, any statistical analyses collected from the Oakland County juvenile
delinquency projects presented in this plan will provide the maximum degree of confidentiality
permitted under state and federal law and in accordance with the requirement for accountability
to the community.
Juvenile Diversion - Quantitative outcomes and performance indicators for the teen court will
include mainly simple outcomes analysis in conjunction with pre/post expert observer
evaluation, both in teen court activities as well as contacts with positive peer environments
within a restorative justice model. Measures of self esteem will be accomplished by any one of
several standardized indicators for this value. The specific instrument is currently not identified.
The indicator for this component will be driven directly from the overall objectives for the teen
court and will teed into a comprehensive and meaningful analysis of the project outcomes.
Juvenile After Care - The expected results for Project START will be measured by the
Delinquency Risk Assessment Scale. Specific data collection instruments and reporting formats
will be determined in coordination w-with the contractor. We anticipate overall lowering of risk
scores as a result of program participation. Court records will provide re-adjudication data, and
the project a 10% decrease in recidivism rates for the program participants, relative to
non-participants. Additionally, in coordination with the service provider, we expect to set up
program performance measures related to number of youth completing the program counseling
/50
progress, number of youth successfully re-enrolled in school or participating in job placement
training and others.
Juvenile Probation - Data collection for the Juvenile Alternatives for Misconduct will be
coordinate with the service provider to measure "customer satisfaction" through participant
survey.
Juvenile Facilities Improvement - Construction completion evaluation data collection will
consist work progress compare to time line milestones. This data will be collected on a quarterly
basis.
4. Controlled Substance Abuse Testing Policy
Please find a copy of the complete controlled substance abuse policies for drug identification and
testing as Attachment A of this Plan.
a. Purpose
IDENTIFICATION POLICY: Employees of the Oakland County Probate Court will advocate
and administer chemical abuse and dependency prevention and education programs for
individuals who are recipients of services delivered by the court.
TESTING POLICY: Casework staff will enforce court policy of zero tolerance for alcohol and
other drug use by adjudicated juveniles. Unless approved by supervisor, screens ordered will test
for the minimum number of substances.
b. Category of Juveniles to be Tested
The category of juveniles that are tested are adjudicated juveniles known or suspected of using
illegal substances and alcohol within the policies protocol.
c. Test Site
With parent/juvenile input, a determination is made as to which lab will be used, from a list of
those under a contract with the County.
d. Treatments Interventions & Options
If assessment indicates chemical dependency/abuse may exist, staff will develop action plan to
address the problem. Staff will provide referrals to appropriate intervention programs and meet
with minor and parents regarding concerns and effects of dependency. As appropriate,
recommend will be made to the Judge that substance abuse assessment/treatment program
participation be part of court ordered service plan/rules of probation. Staff will secure necessary
release; of information from juvenile and/or parent and monitor juvenile's assessment/treatment
program (and, as applicable, parent's) compliance with probationary rules and specific court
orders.
e. Test
1. Authorization
Authorization for testing is based in Oakland Family Court Division existing policies (please
refer to Attachment A). Family Court Division staff will present written request stating that
random urine screens be placed on the court order and, if ordered, add to probation rules and
inform juvenile of possible consequences of positive test results.
2. Chain of custody
Contracting/approved testlites need to show sufficient internal safeguards to provide reasonable
assurances that no tampering with the test, or test results will occur.
3. Staff training
Because only confirmation testing is used at pre-approved test sites, there is minimal staff
training needed to implement and enforce policy guidelines.
4. Preferred method of testing
Urinalysis.
5. Frequency
Urine screens is done on a random basis not to exceed two per month for each individual
pursuant to County policy.
6. Initial Screening and Confirmation
Initial screening, with the option of confirmation testing as required, is done through the use of a
laboratory.
". Confidentiality
Records, by process of internal policies and procedures, maintain the same level of
confidentiality as all other juvenile records.
f Response to Test Results
Clean drug test: No graduated rewards for negative test results are currently in place.
Dirty drug test: In consultation with supervisor, the staff will develop individual plans with
graduated sanctions to deal with positive test results, including the possibility of a petition for
violation of probation order, and recommendations for appropriate diagnostic evaluation and
treatment. Family Court Division staff will report juvenile's compliance/non-compliance on
adjourned hearing report. The report is specific as to number of tests, dates, and results.
• • g. Sanctions
Where a juvenile's behavior conflicts with court directives, determine whether or not case should
be returned for supplemental disposition.
h. Forms for Data Collection and Program Monitoring
Please fuld data as it is curTently captured in Attachment B. The data can be formatted to
conform with information suggested by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice
Program - American Parole and Probation Association Drug Testing Forms.
ADDENDUM TO THE ORIGINAL PLAN DATED APRIL 22, 1999
May 21, 1999
Revised June 1, 1999
Juvenile Accountability Incentive Block Grant
The Oakland County Regional Juvenile Crime Enforcement Coalition
COORDINATED ENFORCEMENT PLAN
1. Problem to be Addressed
a. Identih the scope of the existing juvenile crime problem in your jurisdiction.
There is currently no community-based juvenile central diagnostic and referral center in Oaldand
County to which families can be referred to for comprehensive evaluation of delinquent juveniles
toward individualized treatment plans for social and judicial accountability. In terms
identification of the problem as it exists in Oakland County that creates the need for the a central
diagnostic and referral center, local statistics suggest Oakland County mirrors the rest of
Michigan in juvenile crime statistics.
b. Describe the existing programs to address the juvenile crime problem
Office of Community Corrections: Michigan's Community Corrections Act of 1988 grants
funds to local governments to develop Community Corrections programs. Public Act 511 was
enacted to increase the range of sanctions and services available for adult offenders who would
otherwise be incarcerated in state prisons and local jails. To this end, Oakland County's
Comprehensive Plan for Community Corrections, which was approved by the State in 1994,
includes the addition of those sanctions and services essential to the development of a
comprehensive corrections system. Through the development of a local Community Corrections
Division, the foundation has been set to begin to address providing alternatives to incarceration
that: 1) protect the public; 2) punish the offender; 3) hold the offender accountable; 4) increase
restitution to victims of crime; 5) provide needed rehabilitative services (e.g., substance abuse
and mental health counseling, job training and placement, and continuing education
opportunities); and (6 free up valuable jail space for more serious, violent criminals.
2. Project Design
a. Plan of action
Purpose Area 7 - In-Step Program. This is a for the implementation of a community-based
s- V
juvenile central diagnostic and referral center for families including daily monitoring, drug
testing, and treatment. The goal of this program is to break the cycle of substance abuse and
related crimes by juvenile justice case processing through effective evaluation of the juvenile
offender towards identification for the appropriate array of sanctions and services for offenders
and their families. The Oakland County Division of Community Corrections will be the primary
recipient and lead agency for controlling and completing all aspects and activities proposed in
this grant proposal. The Oakland County Division of Community Corrections has the
managerial and financial capability to ensure proper planning, management, and completion of
the project described in this proposal. The community-based juvenile central diagnostic and
referral center, referred to as the "In - STEP Program" will enhance services available to the
courts, communities and families by providing a one stop shop approach with services under one
roof, thus alleviating the need to send parent(s) and youth to multiple locations. The In - STEP
program partners will dev!lop a collaboration various treatment agencies schools, specialized
centers and providers to become a unique central diagnostic and treatment provider.
To directly address the problem of juvenile justice case processing and juvenile offender
evaluation and assessment at intake for initial identification for the appropriate array of sanctions
and services for offenders and their families, the funding from this proposal will create a
community-based juvenile central diagnostic and referral center, referred to as the "In STEP
Program" within a demonstration area of Waterford Township in Oakland County.
The juvenile justice system in Oakland County has always played a leadership role with
innovative programming at all phase of the process. Like the adult system, the juvenile justice
system is charged with community protection, holding youth (offenders) accountable for their
behavior, as well as helping youth develop productive lives. Day reporting centers are quickly
becoming a formidable alternative to multiple treatment referrals and noteworthy intermediate
sanction. They emphasize strict surveillance and offer an extensive array of program services,
including intensive mental health and substance abuse counseling, housing assistance,
educational assistance, and other supports for offenders and their families with multiple needs.
Participants can be required to report to the center on a regular and frequent basis to be checked
for drug usage and receive services as well. Drug testing will be administered on a random basis
throughout the week. The Oakland County criminal justice system is constantly burdened with a
large population of juvenile and adult offenders, resulting in an overcrowded court system that is
constantly overwhelmed with finding alternative forms of punishment restitution, and
rehabilitation.
b. Schedule of accomplishments
The following action steps and time tasks are in a rough chronological sequence. The timetable
assumes a project start date of June 1, 1999. All program outcomes will be captured and all grant
funding will be expended within 12 months of this date.
In-Step Program: Time tasks include: 1) project design, 2) hiring project coordinator, 3)
identification of project specific resources, 4) project initiation, and 5) program evaluation.

c. List of organizations, contractors, vendors
Resource requirements for the implementation of the Coordinated Enforcement Plan fall into
three categories: organizational resources, technical resources and staffing resources.
Organizational Resources : The majority of the organizational and administrative functions to
complete the action steps and time tasks outline in this Plan will be accomplished by an inlcind
effort of existing county staff. Part of this effort will also include collaboration among the
existing program elements identified earlier in the Plan.
Technical Resources: The Oakland County government will tap its extensive in-house technical

Independence Agency and the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and
Delinquency Prevention. Additionally, technical support and information from appropriate local
organizations will be sought.
Staffing Resources: It is anticipated a majority of the staffing pattern for completion of the action
outline in the Plan will be through professional services contracts. The staff position required for
the teen court coordinator will be selected based on their skills and organizational capabilities as
related to the teen court. This staff person will be supervised and will report to the project leader
within the Prosecutor's Office. Additionally, the three staff positions for the In-Step Program
will be supervised and will report to the project leader within the Oakland County Office of
Community Corrections.
3. Results or Benefits Expected - Evaluation
a. Quantitative Outcomes
Objectives are measurable events that can be realistically achieved within the grant period. The
goal of the In-Step program is to provide juvenile offenders and their families with support
services that promote positive change and reduce the risk of substance abuse and recidivism.
Toward that end, the following objectives have been targeted over the 12-month period.
Objective #1 - To assess 100% of juveniles referred to the In-Step program.
This will be accomplished through the use of the JASAE assessment tool, and will be
administered by the Program Specialist and/or case manager.
Objective #2 - To provide service to at least 95% of assessed juveniles.
The wide array of services available through the In-Step program should accommodate most of
the juveniles' needs. However, it will be the responsibility of the case manager to identify those
individuals who require services that are beyond the scope of this program and refer them to the
appropriate source.
Objective #3- To maintain 85% parental involvement in family group sessions.
In order to make a significant impact on juveniles, their associations and home environment need
to be addressed as well. The facilitator from the family group will be responsible for monitoring
parental attendance and scheduling groups at times conducive for parental involvement.
Objective #4 - To achieve a negative (clean) drug test percentage of 70% overall.
Case managers will be responsible for testing clients as often as deemed necessary. Participants
who test positive will be subject to the appropriate sanctions for a dirty urine. Consistently
imposing these sanctions will lead to a reduced rate of use.
Objective #5 - To achieve a level of at least 75% successful terminations
The assessment of the offender and resulting supervision plan are key components to impacting
juvenile behavior. The PrTgram Specialist/case manager will be responsible for the development
of the supervision plan.
Objective #6 - To realize a rearrest rate among successful termination of no more than
10%.
Objective #7 - To realize a recurrence of drug use among successful terminations of no
more than 10%.
The above two objectives will be achieved through the array of professional services offered
through the In-Step program, as well as through a strong aftercare and follow-up program.
b. How the data is collected
Statement of confidentiality: Project evaluation and performance indicators will be designed with
ethical concerns being the major consideration over the chosen paradigm for assessment
procedures. Likewise, any statistical analyses collected from the Oakland County juvenile
delinquency projects presented in this plan will provide the maximum degree of confidentiality
permitted under state and federal law and in accordance with the requirement for accountability
to the community.
The In-Step Program - A comprehensive case management software will be used to track
offender participation. The software will capture demographic information, as well as case
reporting information. The following outcome measures will be included as data fields and may
be queried at any time.
Number of offenders referred to program
Number of eligible participants
Number of participants accepted
Number of drug tests
Number of positive drug tests
Number of sanctions used
Number of terminations - successful and unsuccessful
Number of offenders reporting re-use of substances
Number of offenders re-arrested
Base line information will be gathered from the assessment tool (JASAE-Juvenile Automated
Substance Abuse Evaluation) administered on each participant that is referred to the program.
The instrument will be re-administered at 6 and 12 months after completion to measure any
significant change. The Program Specialist wilt be responsible for contacting participants 3,-6, 9,
and 12 months after completion to inquire about substance use or re-arrest. In addition, the
Program Specialist will make the appropriate contacts to determine if the participant has had
additional Police or Court contacts.
The evaluation will be conducted by Waterford Schools; however the particular evaluator has not
yet been selected.
