Youth Services CenterHow Do I Place a Youth?In-County Residents Youth can be placed by court order, by requests from probation officers and welfare caseworkers, or by law enforcement officials who may drop off any youth in their custody. The ability of our intake officers to make decisions regarding the legalities of detaining a youth allows police officers to simply transfer custody of an arrested youth to the center, thereby freeing the officer to immediately return to his duties in the community. Out-Of-County Residents The Youth Services Center reserves eight beds in detention and shelter for youth from surrounding counties. When requesting a bed, call the center and ask to speak to an intake officer. The intake officer will determine if there is space available and ask you about any pertinent medical or emotional history. A court order is required for placement of out-of-county youth. Per-Diems The fee for placement of an out of county youth in detention is $100.00 per day. This covers room, board, clothing and an initial medical assessment and urinalysis. The fee for out of county shelter residents is $90.00 per day and covers room, board and an initial medical assessment. |
