Home Supervision

Overview

home supervision1The Home Supervision (HS) Unit consists of Juvenile Electronic Monitoring, supervising two levels of youth:

  • Pre-Disposition = youth not yet adjudicated and considered to be "in the custody" of Juvenile Hall.
  • Post-Disposition = youth currently on probation and placed on HS for a specific amount of time.

Both programs offer youth an opportunity to reside at home, in lieu of secure detention.

Home Supervision staff will supervise and provide services to Pre-Disposition youth. They will report to the court on the compliance of the youth and parents/legal guardians.

Probation Officers will continue to supervise and provide services to the Post-Disposition youth. They also report to the court on the compliance of the youth and parents/legal guardians.

If youth violate the law, HS rules or become a threat to the community, Home Supervision staff may place the youth in custody and schedule a hearing before the court.
