The Prosecutor's Office is responsible for filing misdemeanor criminal charges in County (adult) Court against juveniles ages sixteen to eighteen for offenses that occur anywhere in the County. Two thirds of the juvenile cases are prosecuted by the City Prosecutor's office, under adult court. Most cases are won with some history and background information of the youth attached to the case. This information. is not readily accessible to the agencies working in the juvenile justice system. In 1999, 5,371 juveniles were arrested in Douglas County. This total number of juvenile arrests has been decreasingdfor_the past three years. Of these juvenile arrests, four thousand nine hundred and fifty (4,950) cases were'filed on by the City Prosecutor's Office. At some point during the course of the County Court proceedings, the jurisdiction of the Court may be challenged by way of a motion to transfer the case to Juvenile Court, Often this motion is not raised until a substantial amount of time has passed since the charges were filed. Two-thirds or 3,267 of the targeted cases remain in County Court, the present timing of these motions delays the progression of the case to disposition. Establishing strategic working relationships with 6,-t.;;`ion staff, County and Juvenile Court, court bailiffs, defense attorneys and prosecutors, the Specialist has been able to set cases for motions and case disposition hearings in a more timely manner. The Specialist position has resulted in a significant reduction in pre-disposition confinement. During the past year, the time between arraignment and trail has been reduced from 45 days to approximately 30 days. It is importannthat juvenile offenders realize there are consequences for their criminal activities.

Three areas have been identified as being particularly critical to this effort: (1) the development and use of structured risk/needs assessment; (2) the establishment of effective communications among justice agencies, the schools, and the community • programs which serve juvenile offenders; and (3) the development and implementation of graduated interventions and sanctions for juvenile offenders. The extent of project success in these areas can only be determined through rigorous and objective evaluation. The evaluation costs are for one year, though evaluation plan is based on a two'year project. The evaluation-plan consists of five components: (1) a process/implementation study; (2)_a juvenile justice data study; (3) a risk/needs assessment study; (4) a juvenile justice system outcome study; and (5) an integration of findings and evaluation reports. The funding sought in the grant will enable the project to contract with ISED to complete and integrate these evaluation components. The JAIBG Task Force that prepared the JAIBG plan has received a summarization of the evaluation plan for Years I and 2 respectively, including the research tasks, timelines, questions and activities. city of Omaha/Douglas County JAIBG Phase 2-Budget Page 6 • CATEGORY B—CONSULTANTS AND CONTRACTS PURPOSE: Graduated sanction programs 2.

The two JAIBG sanctions developed in Phase I will begin June 2000. EM is a pre-adjudication alternative and DRC is a post-adjudicated alternative sanction for probation violations. With EM the Court may designate a youth eligible for this option. Actual placement decisions will be made by the Douglas County Youth Center (DCYC) due to the low number of grant funded'slots.

Probation officers will recommend eligible youth to the court. This option is designed for the revocation stage and is an alternative to the youth being sent to Kearney or Geneva. Two options exist for JAIBG youth. One, the program at UNMC's Wesley House is funded by JAIBG, the other, at Uta Halle/Cooper Village is offered the through HHS's contract at no charge to JAIBG youth through July 2000. In Phase 1, JAIBG funded ten day/evening reporting slots through the UNMC's Wesley House program and fourteen slots are planned for Phase 2. The Office of Juvenile Services Program at Uta Halle/Cooper Village donated ten slots to JAIBG youth and we will know in July if this will be an option for Phase 2.

PROGRAM RELATED (continued) Software to allow functionality to the system includes software network licenses, application software, network and software licenses, and various network connectivity applications. Phase 2 will integrate data from the following sources, which are currently islands of information, enabling probation/parole officers, the police, the courts and schools to better serve and rilonitor juveniles. - Phase 2 will cover Omaha Police Department, Nebraska Court Administrator's System, Nebraska State Probation and Heath and Human Services Mainframe. Integration of the data from the sources listed will improve the individual productivity of probation/parole officers, the police, court advocates because today they must comb through maintains of information to find what needed information to serve and monitor juvenile offenders. Currently, searching for information stored in these existing and isolated systems requires hours and at time days of intensive work by probation officers, prosecutors, public defenders and the police. Often the information can not be gathered quickly enough to be useful. By serving the data through one blended interface over the Web using the secure JAIBG-MIS and Data Warehouse built in 'base 1 many hours of labor will be saved and juveniles will be better served and more effectively monitored. Information that was impossible to obtain in a timely fashion will be available to those with a need and the authorization to know simply by using a few key strokes, a Web browser and an Internet Connection. The Prosecutor's Office has obtained an Elmo document camera. When linked to a projector, prosecutors will be able to visually demonstrate to juries in a dramatic, effective.manner, three dimensional items such as knives and bullets. This new technology will allow the Prosecutor to more effectively present clear evidence during a trial. The Juvenile Case Processing programming will establish a relational database to query information as needed for data collection/reporting of identified juvenile cases in the City Prosecutor's Office. In order to manage a case's progression easily, it is necessary to develop computer software templates using existing programs available to the City Prosecutor's Office. The goal of 1999-2000 school year was to address juvenile accountability through establishing a communication between the Omaha Public Schools and the probation and parole agencies regarding student offenders' attendance, behavior and academic progre.;s in school.

List the community or communities which will actively participate in this project. i'he City of Omaha and Douglas County are collaboratively submitting the Phase 2 Juvenile Accountability Incentive Block Grant application to address serious and violent offending in the metropolitan area. The entire juvenile justice system is being examined to determine how to alleviate the pressures on an over burdened criminal/juvenile justice system. Through early identification of the juveniles in the system, development of appropriate sanctions and improved informationsharing, this two- year plan is seeking to streamline the system, lead to a safer community, with fewer victims of juvenile crime, and fewer juvenile offenders and repeat offenders. 13.

Statutory limitations and related issues when a youth is transferred to juvenile court after the youth had been previously sentenced in adult court. A.2. JAIBG Problems To Be Addressed 1. JAf13 problems to be addressed are an important component of Project Impact. Project Impact has assembled an unprecedented interagency coalition to examine the issues that cause youth gun violence in Omaha and to identify steps that can be taken to address the problem. Criminal justice agencies from city, county, state, and federal agencies currently participate in Project Impact. Representatives from local community service providers, the faith community, the school district, and grass roots community organizers have also been called upon to lend their expertise to addressing youth gun violence. Such collaboration establishes the foundation for developing and maintaining relationships and pathways of communication through which information may be shared and analyzed collectively, rather than piecemeal. • 2. Improve communication among the many systems that impact youth in the criminal/juvenile justice system. This can be accomplished in four ways: (1) Develop formal lines of communication between the criminal justice agencies and the Omaha Public Schools to identify the common youth and; ?) Use an information release form that allows for information to be shared among criminal justice • City of Omaha/Douglas County JAIBG Phase 2 Page 22 agencies, school systems and health and human service agencies; (3) Improve the management of cases. across criminal justice agencies, by enabling the agencies to access information from existing data sources; and (4) Standardize the disposition codes used through the juvenile justice system for uniformity in reporting. During Phase 1 of JAIBG tremendous progress has been made in developing formal lines of communications with criminal justice agencies that has improve the management of juvenile cases. Work in these areas will continue in Phase 2 and will serve as building blocks for establishing an universal information release form and the standardization of disposition codes. 3. Continue to develop and enhance graduated sanction/intervention programs that can be accessed by all agencies serving serious, violent juvenile offenders so that the same range of•services and options will be available at any point in the system. This effort will create options and address the system delays that exist in three primary areas: pre-adjudication, probation violations and placement issues. 4. A risk/needs assessment tool has been identified during Phase 1. Work will continue to implement this risk/needs assessment tool that will be administered by juvenile probation, adult probation, or the Douglas County Youth Center soon after referral to the criminal justice system. This risk/needs assessment will be used to determine the risk of re-offending and other intervention issues. 5. Need to address the link between juvenile justice and substance abuse. As the Juvenile Accountability Coalition refined the second year of the plan it was clear that the link between drug use and crime needed to be dealt with at the juvenile level. 6. Need to develop public opinion and leadership to sustain the juvenile accountability project. In order for effective juvenile justice system changes to be institutionalized, a process and impact evaluation needed to determine which programs work and which need to be changed so resources are allocated appropriately. B. Statistical Documentation of the Problem: Tv,'o thirds of the juvenile cases are prosecuted by the City Prosecutor's office, under adult court. Most. cases are won with some history and background information of the youth attached to the case. This information is not readily accessible to all agencies working in the juvenile justice system. In 1999, 5,371 juveniles were arrested in Douglas County. This total number of juvenile arrests has been-decreasing for the past these years. Of these juvenile arrests, four thousand nine hundred and fifty (4,950) cases were filed on by the City Prosecutor's Office. Table 1, shows data compiled on juveniles arrested throughout Douglas County for the most recent three- year period. Even though the number of juveniles arrested and processed through the initial stages of the criminal justice system has been decreasing the number of juveniles being placed in the various supervision programs has been increasing, • While the initial stages of adjudication have shown a slight decrease, a sizable increase has occurred in the number of juveniles being admitted to both the Adult and Juvenile Probation Offices within the last year. Probation Officers feel this increase is in large part do to a lack of intolerance of seriously delinquent behavior. Judges are also less inclined to transfer these juveniles to less intensive programs. While year one funding from this grant has created some additional options for the judges, the added sanctions were `lo late in the year to have a measurable effect. Full implementation of the graduated sanction component City of Omaha/Douglas County JAIBG Phase 2 Page 24 • ..... ..:. • • will occur during year two. • 1. partial explanation for the dramatic increase in the number of youth being placed under the jurisd' of State Parole (Office of Juvenile Services) is due to a change in state law in 1997 that nowl tctton to directly commit offenders to the Office of Juvenile Services. allows judges The increase in the number of offenders sent to the Douglas County Youth Center can be partially attributed rp the lack of alternatives to incarceration and the type of juvenile coming into the system. Alternatives to secure confinement are at least as effective as incarceration in suppressing recidivism and are far less costly. While there is still a scarcity of alternative sanctions for serious and violent juvenile (SVJ) offenders in Douglas County, funding from the first year of this grant has helped in providing the planning and computer linkage that will be needed for the graduated sanctions. Alternatives to incarceration are part of the graduated sanction continuum. Anecdotal information from local juvenile justice practitioners emphasizes a concern with the increase in the number of juveniles entering the system who would be considered SVJ offenders. Many of these SVJ offenders are not being as closely supervised as practitioners would like. A primary concern in this supervision void has been_the lack of technological integration within the fragmented juvenile justice system. Year one funding has improved this system dramatically, however, network connectivity between agencies is still continuing. Data gathered by Dr. Denise Herz, of the University of Nebraska at Omaha, for a Douglas County Juvenile Drug Court Planning Grant,found that from 1995 through 1997 the number of juveniles arrested for drug offenses increased 35 percent. During this same period, arrests of juveniles for driving under the lfluence increased 5 percent, and arrests for liquor law violations increased 13 percent. Dr. Herz's data also show that during 1998, 15 percent of juvenile probationers tested positive for marijuana. Additionally, substance abuse data from Nebraska's Department of Health and Human Services show that approximately 30 percent of all state wards received drug treatment services in 1998. Statewide in Nebraska, 30 to 40 percent of juveniles arrested and 65 to 80 percent of juvenile offenders in the Youth Rehabilitation and Treatment Centers (YRTC's) at Kearney and Geneva need substance abuse treatment corrHpared to only five percent of the general juvenile population. Preliminary data from a voluntary pilot effort in Douglas County estimates that 39 percent of adjudicated youth in Douglas County have a substance abuse problem. g While the data below does not readily show the fragmentation within the juvenile justice system, statistics are manually gathered from agencies involved in dealing with SVJ offenders. The agencies are both County and State, and SVJ offenders can come in contact with these agencies through various points of contact. • Studies have shown that chronic offenders account for more than half of all serious crimes committed by juveniles. As part of the first year of this grant, a single risk assessment has been developed for use by those agencies most likely to come in contact with SVJ's at the initial stage of intervention. An evaluation of.risk needs assessment tools conducted by the Institute for Social and Economic 'evelopment(ISED), and funded by this grant, resulted in the Youth Level of Service Inventory (YO_ City of Omaha/Douglas County JAIBG Phasc 2 • Page 25 LSI) being selected. All of the agencies involved in this grant have agreed to use the YO-LSI as the primary risk assessment tool. First year funding has also allowed for purchase and training in the use of this tool. Those scoring in the high risk category on the assessment will be prioritized and tracked through Project Impact.

However, a rop from 1998 to 1999. While this abrupt drop may be related to several factors, one factorl that ocberred considered is the start up of Project Impact's Night Light Program in May 1999.

Description of the Problem or Problems The current juvenile system has created an environment that inhibits improving the accountability of juvenile offenders. The need to facilitate an exchange of information regarding serious and violent offenders rn tfie system is the foundation on which greater accountability must be built. The juvenile/criminal justice system, as a whole, suffers from a lack of communication and coordination. This factor, when combined with the lack of graduated sanctions/interventions available throughout the system illustrates a system that is fragmented. In essence, not enough services exist to rehabilitate youth. Equally important, where services do exist, not all criminal justice agencies can access them. The Juvenile Accountability Coalition/Project Impact Steering Committee has identified eight problem areas. that illustrate the burdens on the juvenile/criminal justice system that must be addressed so that the accountability of juveniles will increase. 1. The increase of juvenile firearms offenses and subsequent retaliations, such as drive-by shootings and homicides. During the four-year period extending from 1995 through 1998, the Omaha Police Department recorded 130 homicides. Twenty-one percent(21) of those homicides involved victims 18 years of age'and younger. Since 1996, the percentage of homicide victims in the 18 and under age .mographic has been increasing. More specifically, the increase has been among 15-18 year old. In City of Omaha/Douglas County JAIBG Phase 2 Page 26 • 1996, 11 percent of the homicide victims were between the ages of 15 and 18. In 1997, 18 percent of the homicide victims were between the ages of 15 and 18. In 1998, 35 percent of the homicide victims were '3etween the ages of 15 and18 and it 1999 homicide victims in this age range dropped to 13 percent. (see fable 2 — Statistical Documentation of the Problem). While this may point to preliminary success of Project Impact's strategies and interventions, we expect more success when the sanctions designed through the JAIBG process, such as increased electronic monitoring and day/evening reporting centers are fully in place. Youth gun violence in Omaha continues to be a significant problem. Different criminal justice and community agencies that serve serious young offenders possess limited information regarding the history of these serious and violent offenders. Prior to the operational phase of Project Impact in conjunction with JAIBG, any strategy that these agencies crafted to stop violent behavior was done so with both limited data, and in a fragmented way. Project Impact was developed to identify the most significant crime problem in Omaha. Using a data driven approach, collaboration between law enforcement and criminal justice officials was established to design strategic initiatives to stop violent offending and victimization. Data indicates that serious violent juvenile offenders represented an increased segment of the population that was involved in serious and violent behavior. Project Impact is also designed to develop the infrastructure needed to analyze a variety of quantitative and qualitative crime data to understand crime issues. Strong community involvement is as a key • ingredient to a development of the strategies outlined for Impact/JAIBG. When the City of Omaha and Douglas County began to explore the potential impact of the Juvenile Accountability Incentive Block irant in conjunction with the data obtained from Project Impact, it was clear that these efforts should merge. (Note: substantial progress has been made in this area in JAIBG Phase 1, but it is a work in progress discussed in the proposed solution section) 2. Limited infrastructure exists between the various agencies dealing with the serious juvenile offender. An inability to share information, and connect the database of agencies that service these youth makes it difficult to hold youth accountable. A similar need exists to develop uniform terminology used by professionals within the juvenile/criminal justice system. The lack of an ability to share information is a significant system problem that inhibits.increasing the accountability of juveniles. This includes not only the criminal justice system but also other agencies that serve youth such as the Omaha Public Schools. For example, in the current system prosecutors do not have access to data gathered by the detention center, probation or parole. This makes it difficult to have consistency and to track cases as they move from one agency to the next. (Note: substantial progress has been made in this area in JAIBG Phase 1, but it is a work in progress discussed in the proposed solution section) 3. Lack of deposition options/graduated sanctions throughout the criminal/juvenile justice o.1tiiaum. In the current system as the child moves through the system, many sanctions/interventions are available at all stages and the services needed to enforce graduated sanctions are lacking. For instance, services that may be available to probation are not accessible to diversion programs or parole: This means that options are inconsistent across and within the criminal/juvenile justice system. No database exists to serve as a central inventory of services available for youth in the criminaUjuvenile justice system. The vo JAIBG sanctions developed in Phase 1 have not been up and running long enough to create a system City of Omaha/Douglas County JAIBG Phase 2 Page 27 • impact to date. Day/evening reporting centers slots from Uta Halle/Cooper Village were available to JAIBG youth as of March 2000, the slots from UNMC's Wesley House program began in June 2000. • ':Iectronic monitoring is set to begin soon as staff is hired to track this program. (Note: progress has been made in this area in JAIBG Phase 1, but it is a work in progress discussed in the proposed solution section) 4. Risk/needs assessment is administered after adjudication and is not used to determine the appropriate intervention for each youth. Risk/needs assessments are not used to make placement decisions }'vh6n a youth is referred to the criminal justice system. In the current system, many youth are placed in detention, probation or diversion programs with inadequate background information and without the knowledge or factors that play into the cycle of re-offending. The problems that arise from such a situation include: placement and effective rehabilitation services a youth needs are based on incomplete information; lack of proper assessment and inability to analyze recidivism predictors in the early stages may create problems down the road in other parts of the criminal/juvenile justice system; and a need/gap analysis of sanctions/interventions and services available in the community. A universal assessment t will help identify the service needs and gaps in sanctions that exist in our s ool sust progress has been made in this area in JAJRG Phase 1, but it is a work in progress discussed iQ/therl proposed solution section) 5. Need to address the link between juvenile justice and substance abuse. A key finding of the Substance Abuse Treatment Task Force requested by LB 865 during the 1999 Legislative session found that across Nebraska, 30 to 40 percent of juvenile arrestees and 65 to 80 percent of juvenile offenders in the Youth Rehabilitations and Treatment Centers (YRTC's) at Kearney and Geneva need substance abuse treatment compared to only five percent of the general juvenile population. Preliminary data from a voluntary pilot effort in Douglas County estimates that 39 percent of adjudicated youth in Douglas County have a substance abuse problem. Data derived from Omaha's (adult only) participation in the -DAM (Arrestee Drug Abuse Monitoring) program also illustrates the connection between drug use and crime. From a review of the local ADAM data it is clear that the majority of all offenders are using drugs. 6. There is a need to develop public opinion and leadership to sustain finding for holding juveniles accountable for their climes. In order for effective juvenile justice system changes to be institutionalized, a process and impact evaluation is needed to determine which programs work and which need to be changed so resources are allocated appropriately. Community support to examine these types • appears to be growing in Omaha. According to the results of the Omaha 2000 Community Education issues Survey, 6:pefcent of Omaha residents are supportive of a property tax increase to improve school safety. 7. System delays exist in three primary areas: pre-adjudication, probation violations and placement issues. For example, when a youth violates the term of his probation he must re-enter the court system process. This creates delays in ensuring that immediate consequences are given. • 8. Statutory limitations and related issues when a youth is transferred to juvenile court after that youth has been previously sentenced in adult court. Many repeat offenders have been sentenced for previous crimes in adult court. When a subsequent law violation occurs and the youth is adjudicated as a juvenile, it is hard to find sanctions/interventions that are appropriate. A related issue is that the same juvenile may be prosecuted, sometimes simultaneously, under a variety of jurisdictions (juvenile and criminal courts). • City of Omaha/Douglas County JAIBG Phase 2 • Page 28 1--1 a E O v v N Ooa� o b o ??

Proposed Solutions F. Project Operation Project Impact's Steering Committee serves as the Juvenile Accountability Coalition (JAC) that has developed and oversees the JAIBG grant process. The City of Omaha and Douglas County will continue this partne-a�ship with Project Impact. The purpose of this grant is to hold youth, serious and violent offenders, accountable for their actions and for Phase 1 and Phase 2 of this project the juvenile offender is defined by the offender's age (18 years and under), the seriousness of the offense and prior record of offending and/or the risk/needs assessment score. JAIBG Phase 2 is a direct connection to Project Impact, Omaha youth gun violence reduction program. Phase 2 of JAIBG will continue to enhance the strategies begun during Phase I and expand the .JAIBG concept to include data that looks at the relationship between the serious, non-violent offender and substance abuse. While great progress has been made in Phase 1 of Omaha/Douglas County JAIBG, delays did occur. These delays however, will,result in better system improvements, as the delays were primarily due to the need for a more through planning process. This was especially true in the information integration/communication area and with the graduated sanction component. Project Impact's Steering Committee created the "JAIBG Task Force" to guide program development and implementation. The Omaha/Douglas County JAIBG strategy has been designed to build the needed infrastructure to ^reate a juvenile justice system that is able to hold juveniles in the juvenile/criminal system accountable .Jr their actions. The JAIBG Task Force, is comprised of front line workers in the criminal justice agencies that work with juveniles (see list below). This task force's primary goal has been to take a hard and realistic look at how our juvenile justice system deals with serious offenders and how to improve its effectiveness and operation. JAIBG Phase 2 is a continued opportunity to build an effective system that is responsive and works in partnership with agencies and the juvenile/criminal systems that are working with the youth. The criminal justice system serving these serious and violent juvenile offenders must have the necessary tools and resources Both fiscal and human) to build the needed infrastructure to share information and track the offender. Infrastructure is used in terms of technology and equipment that will make information accessible for staff to do their jobs with an increasing caseload, and allow for the youth to be able to move through the system in an expedient and accountable manner. The JAIBG Task Force has met approximately twice a month over the last year to plan, develop and update this plan in conjunction with the JAC. This comprehensive effort has allowed, for the first time in the City of Omaha and Douglas County, individuals from the agencies listed below to meet on a regular basis to discuss, examine and develop solutions for the challenges faced by our juvenile justice system. This effort, while productive, has created delays in program implementation of JAIBG Phase 1. It was important for this group to take the time necessary to develop realistic and quality proposals in order to have a true impact in improving Omaha/Douglas County's juvenile justice system. This task force has been expanded during the last year to be more inclusive of the agencies that can create and implement the •olutions to the systemic problems of the juvenile justice system. City of Omaha/Douglas County JAIBG Phase 2 Page 32 The JAIBG Task Force is made up of representatives from the following agencies: Mayor's Office—City of Omaha *Omaha City Prosecutor 'Douglas County Attorney *Douglas County Youth Center *Douglas County Juvenile Probation *Douglas County Adult Probation *NebraskaHealth and Human Services - Office of Juvenile Services Douglas County Public Defender's Office Douglas County Sheriff's Department Omaha Police Department Douglas County Juvenile Court Project Impact Coordinator Omaha Public Schools, Student and Community Services Division United States Attorney's Office Institute for Social and Economic Development *Are the designated agencies working directly with SVJ's that will ensure the goals are met. The following is a summary of year one goals and plans for the second phase of year two. 1. Project Impact is a data driven effort designed to stop youth gun violence in Omaha. A goal of Project Impact is to increase communication between criminal justice agencies and to use data to develop specific strategies and interventions. The operational structure for Project Impact encourages cross-agency and community collaboration, facilitates the collection, analysis, and storage of sensitive data, and develops strategies to address youth violence. The population served through Impact is largely the same as .iat identified by the JAIBG task force. Over the last year, a large number of youth had contact with Project Impact. Approximately 150 youth attended notification meetings, 1,000 had home Night Light visits (with probation/parole and police officers checking on identified youth to make sure they are complying with terms of probation/parole). Of these youth it is estimated that approximately 750 may benefit from.JAIBG services. For Phase 2, it is planned to extend benefits to not only this population but to a small number of serious, yet non-violent youth who meet a to be determined' criteria that shows a connection of their involvement with the juvenile justice system and substance abuse. It is anticipated between 30 and 50 youth will be served in this pilot program. 2. Improve communication among the systems that impact youth in the criminal/juvenile justice system. This was accomplished by the development of formal lines of communication between the criminal/juvenile justice agencies and the Omaha Public Schools to identify common youth. Information now shared regarding youth in the system provides confirmation the youth is registered in school, what school they attend, verifies the student's attendance and tardies. The school notifies the probation/parole officer when significant discipline at school occurs. In Phase 2 this sharing will be expanded to•include middle school and elementary school principals. Also planned for Phase 2 is increased probation/parole officer presence in schools and increased clerical support so information is shared in a more timely manner. Develop an information release form that allows for information to be shared among criminal/juvenile justice agencies, school systems and health and human service agencies. The JAIBG is interested in sharing public information that may currently be shared but is difficult to access due to technology 'imitations. This component has been one of the more challenging areas for Phase 1. With the oversight City of Omaha/Douglas County JAIBG Phase 2 Page 33 • of the University of Nebraska at Omaha's Information Science and Technology College, Douglas County • MIS Department and the Omaha Police Department MIS progress is being made. The JAIBG task force gas worked diligently to find out what data existed across the agencies, how to access it, create a conceptual and functional design in order to conduct a systems analysis of what our system requirements would be. Based on this effort a request for proposal for the information sharing system will be sent out to vendors in June 2000. Once a vendor has been selected for the RFP, the case management component of the project may be implemented and will enable agencies to access information from existing data sources to.Il-ack juveniles in the system. 3. Enhance deposition options (graduated sanctions) for any or all stages in the criminal justice system. For example, current options that may be available to parole are not accessible to probation. The goal of the JAIBG is to develop graduated sanction/intervention programs that can be accessed by all agencies serving serious, violent juvenile offenders so that the same range of services and options are available. Four areas were initially discussed but due to financial limitations two dispositonai graduated sanctions were determine: Day/evening reporting center and Electronic monitoring. The electronic monitoring program had a maximum of 20 slots for Phase 1. This program was designed as a pre-adjudication alternative. The Court may designate a youth eligible for this option. Actual placement decisions will be made by the Douglas County Youth Center(DCYC) due to the low number of grant funded slots. The eligible designation will also allow for a control group that will be examined as part of the JAIBG evaluation. Electronic monitoring slots are split by juvenile and adult probation and in Phase 2 the number of electronic monitoring slots will be increased to 30 to be used by adult probation and juvenile probation. r)ay/evening reporting centers are an alternative sanction for probation violations. Probation officers will commend eligible youth to the court. This option is designed for the revocation stage and is an alternative to the youth being sent to Kearney or Geneva. Two options exist for JAIBG youth. One, the program at United Methodist Community Center (UMCC) Wesley House is funded by JAIBG, the other. at Uta Halle/Cooper Village is offered the through Nebraska Health and Human Services contract at no charge to JAIBG youth through July 2000. In Phase 1, JAIBG funded tcn day/evening reporting slots through the UNMC's Wesley House program and fourteen slots are planned for Phase 2. The Office of Juvenile Services Program at Uta Halle/Cooper Village donated ten slots to JAIBG youth and we will know in July if this will be an option for Phase 2. Both reporting centers programs will continue to have an evaluation•component to determine cost effectiveness in terms of cost of placement and in terms of reducing the time its takes to get a revocation. Wesley House is seeking a second DRC location in South Omaha for expansion of alternative sanctions for probation violations. Day/evening reporting centers will have an enhanced educational component as a result of Phase 2. The Pass Program offers North Central accreditation and is accepted for graduation requirements by the Omaha Public Schools. This program was developed for migrant farm workers. The Pass Program requires a certified teacher's involvement and then the credits are sent to the school district to issue a diploma. The Plato system is a computerized, individualized system that may be used as a stand-alone product or in conjunction the Pass Program. Both programs are currently offered at the DCYC. The Omaha Public Schools will offer the Pass/Plato Program as an in-kind service to JAIBG. OPS plans to purchase the Plato system for the Omaha Public Schools for use at JAIBG's day/evening reporting center. Develop a common risk/needs assessment tool that will be administered by juvenile probation, adult City of Omaha/Douglas County JAIBG Phase 2 Page 34 �.:. probation, or the Douglas County Youth Center soon after referral to the criminal justice system. This risk/needs assessment will be used to determine intervention issues. The evaluator, the Institute for Social • ;nd Economic Development (ISED), oversees this element of the grant. ISED conducted a risk/needs assessment study to examine the risk/needs assessment requirements of the project. This determination included a thorough review of the research literature on juvenile justice risk/needs tools. The study will also compare the planned and actual use of assessments in the project with "best practices" in other jurisdictions in Nebraska and around the country. The desired assessment tool predicts delinquency, recidivism.irfstitutional misconduct and predatory behavior. Omaha/Douglas County JAIBG program has been offered the opportunity to be a pilot site for the new Youth Level of Service Inventory (YO- LSI)/Colorado Instrument. While this is a new product, the same company that created the adult LSI is developing YO-LSI. The benefits from participating in this pilot include ongoing technical support and assistance with our planned evaluation. The proposed YO-LSI covers basically the same content area as what probation and the Douglas County Youth Center currently use. The Task Force believes there is an advantage to having a single instrument used by all agencies and to then be able to build case manaonent plans based on the same form. The YO-LSI is designed to be re-administered at different points in the system to see if behavioral objectives are being met. This product also looks as the criminogenic needs or dynamic risk factors open to change over time that are most related to re-offending. The Task Force realizes the importance of measuring how the information gathered in any risk/needs assessment tool is similar to what is currently required by agencies to collect. With this knowledge the long term result of the evaluation would also include the recommendation to use only one instrument by all involved agencies. 5. Need to address the link between juvenile justice and substance abuse. As the Juvenile Accountability coalition refined the second year of our plan it was clear the need exists to address the link between uvenile justice and substance abuse. A key finding of the Substance Abuse Treatment Task Force requested by LB 865 during the 1999 Legislative session found that across Nebraska, 30 to 40 percent of juvenile arrestees and 65 to 80 percent of juvenile offenders in the Youth Rehabilitations and Treatment Centers (YRTC's) at Kearney and Geneva need substance abuse treatment compared to only five percent of the general juvenile population. Preliminary data from a voluntary pilot effort in Douglas County estimates that 39 percent of adjudicated youth in Douglas County have a substance abuse problem. Data derived fiom Omaha's (adult only) participation in the ADAM (Arrestee Drug Abuse Monitoring) program also illustrates the connection between drug use and crime. From a review of the local ADAM data it is ci az-that the majority of all offenders are using drugs. 6. Need to develop public opinion and leadership to funds these efforts long term. In order for effective juvenile justice system changes to be institutionalized, a thoughtful, evaluated effort must be made in this regard. Community support to examine these types of issues appears to be growing in Omaha. According to the results of the Omaha 2000 Community Education Survey, 67 percent of Omaha residents are supportive of a property tax increase to improve school safety. One of the solutions to this element is, as part of the evaluation, to identify cost components, estimate costs within each component and then aggregate the total costs to the community. It is clear that violence and drug abuse represents a significant cost to our justice system but precise estimates are not readily available and difficult to generate. The Task Force believes that in order to institutionalize the work begun with-.JAIBG funds, this type of data is needed to convey the extent of the problem, then use this 'ata to learn how to reduce these costs and determine how to appropriately allocate limited resources.

Education and awareness will be an important component of this project. The community,juvenile justice agencies and the presiding judges will need to be knowledgeable of the graduated sanction programs and post-disposition options available in the community: the expansion of information sharing in the juvenile/criminal justice systems that will include linking to schools; and the continued training and education for agencies using the risk/needs assessment tool. • • • • • • City of Omaha/Douglas County JAIBG Phase 2 • Page 37 t • U 4, w -ci C) O•0 as a U -7 0 v U U as c N •-, = a) — 0 v) O M O L U • N �r �. �J N v�l ctS > - u 0 - .5 _O cn O r • O U U a) 00 0 w cn >1 4'1 v 7.. r c.'

Prior to any involvement with the Juvenile Accountability Incentive Block Grant(JAIBG), the various • agencies within Douglas County that are charged with dealing with juvenile offenders were not communicating as well as should be expected. This non-e-0nimunication was due to several factors: a lack of computer linkage between the agencies, a misconception that certain agencies legally could not divulge information, a lack of knowledge as to what each agencies role is in dealing with juvenile offenders, and the failure to have agency representatives regularly meet with each other. Some directly related outgrowths from the first year of JAIBG are: +Sitice Spring of 1999 all of the juvenile agencies within Douglas County have been meeting on a regular basis. All of the agencies involved have expressed amazement and satisfaction at how informed they have become regarding the role each plays in dealing with juvenile offenders. The direct lines of communication that have been opened have gone a long way in eliminating the organizational barriers to communication and sharing that did exist. These meetings are on-going and bi-monthly. *As stated above, a significant problem has been not only the orderly transfer of data due in large part to incomplete network connectivity, but also due to several agencies using a different data platform. Research brought about because of JAIBG has shown all of the agencies that a common middleware solution was needed to search the various databases. Funding from this grant has allowed the JAIBG Task Force to contract with a professor of Information Systems at the University of Nebraska at Omaha to .ssist in conducting a systems analysis and writing a Request for Proposal for this middle ware. +Members of the JAIBG have formulated a graduated sanctions component, which will include day reporting and electronic monitoring. It is expected that the graduated sanctions will be fully implemented +Ting the second year of the grant. The Task Force has also selected the Youth Level of Service In-ientory (YO-LSI) as the risk needs assessment tool for all agencies. +The juvenile homicide rate has dropped significantly in Douglas County from 1998 to 1999. Project Impact, the coordinating unit for this grant, has used the Night Light program to team law enforcement officers with probation officers to make unannounced contact with juveniles on probation. The Night Light program started in May 1999, and is believed to be a factor in this downturn in juvenile homicides. 2. List any problems the project faced, how they were addressed and the results. As mentioned above, the two most significant problems were the lack of direct communication between agencies, and the absence of suitable computer connectivity. The bi-monthly JAIBG Task Force meetings have gone far in eliminating any barriers to communication that have existed between agencies. These agencies: city, county, state, and Omaha Public Schools, have fully cooperated in setting up a communication policy and in planning the graduated sanctions component. Several agencies were under the misconception that their agency legally could not share information. An expert on information sharing law was brought in to explain Nebraska's laws to all of the • ?encies. City of Omaha/Douglas County JAIBG Phase 2 Page 41 The single biggest problem in implementing this grant has been the lack of a unified system of computer connectivity between agencies. Not only were agencies outside the Douglas County criminal justice system not connected, but many of the county systems also were not interconnected. Some of the county agencies have their own data gathering system. The grant has allowed the JAIBG Task Force to hire a consultant who has conducted an extensive analysis of the data gathering systems used by each agency. From this information an RFP detailing the need for connectivity software has been sent out. Use of this middleware will allow for an easy transfer of information between agencies. 3. Briefly describe how the project has impacted the community. While the outside community may not notice many of the improvements that have been mentioned above. those involved with the JAIBG Task Force agencies have noticed an improvement in communication • between agencies. Those agencies have also agreed on the use of a standardized risk assessment measurement tool as a means to track serious and violent juvenile offenders. A recent Omaha 2000 Community Education Survey found that 86.4% of community respondents agreed with the need to share information among schools, criminal justice and social service agencies. The Omaha Public Schools Task Force, a member of the JAIBG Task Force, now communicates freely with the probation and parole offices involving juveniles of mutual concern. Project Impact, through its Night Light program, has received considerable media coverage informing the public of the program, which teams law enforcement, probation, parole, and the U.S. Attorney's Office. These officers make high profile contacts with juveniles who are on probation or parole. Many of these offenders are gang members.
