expanding the Regional Juvenile Information System by the development of a Juvenile Court
website to provide information on juveniles to local law enforcement; and
WHEREAS, under the County of San Diego's current proposal they are planning
to spend the 2002/2003 JAIBG funds for the following:
1. Maintain and expand the Community Response Officer Program
("CROP") in which Deputy Probation Officers are stationed in and/or shared between twenty-
three (23) law enforcement locations and jurisdictions. CROP is designed to increase
communications, provide information on juveniles to law enforcement and perform community
outreach activities.
2. Maintain and upgrade the Regional Juvenile Information System ("REJIS)
which will incorporate a website, making information accessible to local law enforcement. The
system incorporates certain school districts that provide information on juveniles regarding
grades and attendance. The expansion of this system will include participation by school
districts throughout the county.
3. Continue planning meetings with community stakeholders to refine
existing programs and implement a Community Resource Drop-off Center, while continuing the
operations of an existing Drop-off Center in the North County.
