JUVENILE AND DOMESTIC RELATIONS COURT

PROBATION/INTAKE UNITS

PROGRAM MISSION: To provide effective, efficient and quality services, programs and interventions for juveniles, adults and families while addressing public safety, victim impact, offender accountability and competency development.

The Intake Unit receives and processes civil and criminal complaints as the port of entry to the Court, serves as an information and referral source, provides initial short-term counseling and monitors compliance of court orders on suspended imposition of sentence cases. The Juvenile Probation Unit provides the Court with investigation and supervision services which promote positive behavioral change, accountability and public safety in youth and their families through prevention, competency development and correctional intervention. The Adult Probation Unit provides services for adult offenders which encourage family stability, and protects the community through conducting investigations, supervising defendants, and coordinating appropriate intervention services.

SIGNIFICANT BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Personnel costs increased mainly due to normal step increases ($53,952).
  • The decrease in non-personnel costs is mainly due to the reduction in telephone charges ($1,393) and travel ($4,039), partly offset by an increase in County vehicle charges ($1,112).
  • Decrease in revenues is due to the reduction in Department of Criminal Justice Services-Juvenile Accountability Block Grant ($10,677) and decrease in Falls Church reimbursement ($646) based on reconciliation with FY 2004 actual payments.
