mission of the Churchill County Juvenile Probation Department is:
- To protect the community
- To sanction illegal behavior
- To rehabilitate juvenile offenders
- To strengthen families
It is the mission of the Churchill County Juvenile Probation Department
to hold juvenile offenders accountable for their actions by providing meaningful
consequences which restores the victim and rehabilitates the offender, to
create methods and programs which reintegrates them into the community through
the process of competency development, and to provide the supervision necessary
to protect the community. |
The Churchill County Juvenile Probation Department
will provide, to the extent possible, community based programming for those
youth and families referred for services. Community based programming provides
for family involvement, a continuum of care for the youth and eliminates the
problem and stigma associated with a youth attempting to be reintegrated into
the community after several months in a correctional facility. No recommendation
for correctional care should be made until all avenues within the community
setting have been explored, unless the risk to the community is too great.
It is further the mission of this department to create and promote programs
pertaining to the prevention of delinquency, to defer youth from formal court
proceedings whenever possible, and to create and promote programs that deter
further delinquent behavior, develop competency and protect the community.
The mission to protect the community cannot and will not be ignored. To
that end, the risk that each offender poses to the community will be continually
assessed and the appropriate level of supervision will be utilized.
The Churchill County Juvenile Probation Department is the arm of the Juvenile
Division of the Third Judicial Court and is charged with the responsibility
of working with juvenile offenders and their families and providing prevention
services to youth and families in the community.
The Department's efforts are to be such that each juvenile is to receive
such care, guidance and control, preferably in their own home, as will be
conducive to the best interests and safety of the community and the offender.
