Juvenile Update - Effective Station Adjustment & Diversion

Event Info
Date: 
Friday, April 10, 2026 - 8:00am to 4:00pm
Description: 

In the last decade, law enforcement and school officials have increasingly distanced themselves from addressing low-level misdemeanor offenses committed by juveniles in schools and communities. Unfortunately, most states DO NOT have comprehensive reporting on their juvenile interactions and recidivism rates. Positive interventions require tracking and measurement of juvenile success. Many law enforcement agencies have shifted from educating juveniles to issuing tickets, taking no further action, or resorting to arrests, fingerprinting, and booking. That is NOT what the Juvenile Court Systems across the country intended for their legislative process.

This training program is designed to restore the public’s trust in law enforcement that we are dedicated to the mental health, future and safety of our communities’ children. Failing to provide juveniles with a second chance and proper guidance perpetuates the “Pipeline to Prison” phenomenon. This training aims to empower Juvenile Investigators, School Resource Officers (SROs) and School Administrators to hold juveniles accountable for their mistakes while also educating parents or guardians on responsible parenting. This is particularly crucial in today’s context of widespread social media. use, online gaming and vaping within our schools.
