Intake
330-643-2938

The Intake Department staff is normally the first and frequently only contact alleged juvenile offenders and their families have with the court until they appear before the judge or magistrate.

Staff members are charged with explaining the legal process to juveniles and their families, gathering information about the juvenile’s family circumstances, assessing his or her relationship with peers and performance in school. Based on findings gathered from that information, Intake staff then make recommendations to the court.

Intake has also continued to utilize the Police Diversion Programs as an alternative to court intervention, and provides a liaison between the court and these programs.
