The grant provides funding for a Juvenile Drug Court, to address the problem of high recidivism, a Teen Court to provide a justice model within a peer setting, and funding to create one Special Revenue part-time non-eligible Assistant Prosecutor II position and continues funding for one SR Probation Officer I position in the Prosecutor's Office.

County employees have acquired the critical elements of network design and rollout, equipment selection and configuration, vendor training and education and effective daily network management, support and problem response.
