JDCAP recently voted to open our membership to juvenile detention alternative programs. In an effort to successfully reach out to these agencies and encourage them to be part of a larger support network, JDCAP is asking Chief Juvenile Probation Officers and Juvenile Justice Stakeholders to identify those programs/services that are currently being offered as alternatives to secure detention.

Please take 5 minutes to complete this survey or feel free to share this with someone who has the contact information for your programs/services.
