    WHAT IS GOING RIGHT

     Overall juvenile crime is down 32% since 2013


     Accountability has increased throughout the system
     Because of the threat to community safety that each car theft can present, for the past two years
    auto thefts have been charged as felonies
     All auto thefts are being seen in front of a judge
     Use of Juvenile Detention and out of home placement for juvenile offenders have kept pace with
    the increase in auto thefts

    process and provide quicker accountability

    ACTION STEPS | LONG-TERM

     Creation of a Community Collaborative | Responsible for the continued progress of long term
    action steps associated with this plan
     Juvenile Assessment Center | A two-tiered approach that includes:
     Assessment component to provide a quick, holistic assessment of youth following arrest to
    expedite the court process and reduce the burden on law enforcement
     Services component to facilitate easy access to resources and services without the requirement of
    system involvement to youth and families as a prevention and early intervention strategy
    COMMUNITY COLLABORATION

     Establish a community collaborative as a mechanism


    for building partnerships across the community to
    move long term goals forward
     Scott County Kids has established a subcommittee
    for this purpose
     Representatives include law enforcement, juvenile
    court services, judicial system, schools, DHS, juvenile
    detention, Scott County Kids, city/county
    government, and the private sector
    JUVENILE ASSESSMENT CENTER

     Law Enforcement Component | Provides a quick, holistic assessment of youth following


    arrest to expedite the court process and reduce the burden on law enforcement
     Preventative Services Component | Facilitates easy access to resources and services
    without the requirement of system involvement to youth and families. By increasing access
    to services as a prevention and early intervention strategy, symptoms of trauma and mental
    illness are treated in a preventative fashion. Overtime, this preventative strategy will help
    lower the number of juveniles entering the juvenile justice system
    MOVING FORWARD

     Support the work of the community collaborative as they continue to work on short and long term
    strategies
