In 1996, the Board of Supervisors established the Shasta County Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council ("Council"). The Council was established at that time so that the County would be eligible to apply for grant funding under the Juvenile Crime Enforcement and Accountability Challenge Grant Program, codified at Welfare & Institutions Code Sections 749.2 et seq.
Under WI 749.22, this Council is responsible for developing a comprehensive, multi-agency juvenile justice plan aimed at decreasing crime and delinquency among at-risk youth. In 2000, the State of California established the Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act Program ("JJCPA Program"). The JJCPA Program was created by the Crime Prevention Act of 2000 to provide a more stable state funding source for implementing a Juvenile Justice Plan (“Plan”) developed by the Council. The Council is required to review annually the Plan and make modifications as necessary.
