BACKGROUND:
The Juvenile Crime Prevention Council (JCPC) is a Board appointed by Commissioners, as defined by State Statutes. The JCPC provides funding and monitors Community Based alternatives to juvenile incarceration and provides funding for substance abuse prevention strategies and programs.
Funding for JCPC programs is generally adopted in the State Budget and assigned to County programs by a formula grant.
