Serving the Needs of Children

The Juvenile Detention facility aims to meet the physical needs of the residents in their care.  As a branch of the Kitsap County Juvenile and Family Court Services division, the detention center is dedicated to preparing its young residents for a better future.

The detention is only one of many possible outcomes underage individuals might face when they find themselves dealing with the Kitsap County Juvenile Court Unit.  The juvenile court also uses several other services.

These might include:

• Coordination of Service (COS) courses

COS is a 12 hour series of classes for juveniles determined to be at extremely low risk for future offenses.  These four hours, three-day courses are designed to help the youth focus on why they may have made a poor choice and instructs them on how that choice may potentially lead to serious charges if not addressed.

• Diversion Agreements

Diversion agreements may be used for “diverting” eligible underage offenders out of the court system.  The prosecuting attorney determines if the juvenile is eligible for diversion.

• Juvenile Drug Court

Adolescents with a history of drug and alcohol use or offenses may be eligible for this program.  Non-violent offenders who show the potential to benefit from substance abuse treatment and counseling may qualify.  Participation is voluntary.  Unwilling youths will not be considered for the program.

• Individualized Treatment Court

ITC is a mental health court open only to non-violent offenders.  It is modeled after the juvenile drug court.  Participants must be thirteen or older and must have a mental health diagnosis.

• Youth Court

Youth court is a specific diversion program available for some offenders.  Participants are given a full-court experience, including prosecution, defense, and sentencing.  However, the court is run by their similarly aged peers.  This program is designed to be a unique learning experience for everyone involved.  Eligible participants must be facing misdemeanor charges that do not include sexual assault or weapons charges.  They must also be first-time offenders.

Individual mental health services are offered while they are detained at the juvenile facility and can continue after being released. A variety of resources are available for the entire family. The facility has also instituted a wellness policy to ensure that the residents’ physical needs are being met.
