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. |
