Summary of Request:
Pursuant to section 225 of the Welfare and Institutions Code there is a Juvenile Justice Commission appointed by the Mendocino County Superior Court. Pursuant to Chapter 8.20 of the Mendocino County Code, the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors has designated the Juvenile Justice Commission to also serve as the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Commission (JJDPC) under section 233 of the Welfare and Institutions Code. The Commission is a group of community members committed to improving and monitoring the quality of juvenile justice programs in Mendocino County. The Commission is a volunteer organization, and its members must be residents of, or employed in, Mendocino County. Its mission is to advocate for a quality system of care for juvenile offenders and to promote the development of evidence-based services, employment opportunities and resources for juveniles.
The responsibilities of the Commission are defined in sections 229, 229.5 and 233 of the Welfare and Institutions Code. Its general purpose is to inquire into the administration of the juvenile court law in the County, and to coordinate on a county-wide basis the work of community agencies engaged in activities to prevent delinquency.
The Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Commission’s duties include:
• To assure that needed youth services are identified, developed and delivered to juveniles of the County, particular services which related to the diversion of youth out of the juvenile justice system;
• Conduct public or closed hearings on matters relevant to the implementation and administration of delinquency prevention and juvenile justice programs in the County;
• Conduct annual inspection of Juvenile Hall, jails or lockups detaining minors more than 24 hours;
• Propose, endorse, or oppose legislative or administrative proposals effecting delinquency prevention efforts or that may have an effect upon the administration of laws pertaining to juveniles in the County; and,
• Report all findings in an Annual Report, as directed by the Chairperson.
Mendocino County is proud to recognize the contributions of these commissioners, for their years of service and their dedication to the youth in our community.
