Juvenile Probation's mission is to deal with juveniles, between the ages of 10 and 21, who are charged with misdemeanors and felonies. We make decisions with the protection of the public in mind, to provide balanced attention to the protection of the community, the imposition of accountability for offenses committed and the development of competencies to enable youth to become responsible and productive citizens. Juvenile Probation only removes youth from parent's care when necessary for his/her welfare or in the interest of public safety.
