BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Department’s Focus West Program (Program) provides education to juveniles on the consequences of negative behavior and holds them accountable for minor law violations while allowing them to remain at home, in the County’s West Valley area. Under this program, the Chaffey Joint Union High School District (District) refers juveniles and their parents to counseling and educational classes provided at the Chaffey Adult School in Ontario. A Probation Officer and volunteers provide instruction on the topics of anger management, character and theft accountability, family dynamics, substance abuse, truancy, and weapons diversion, in an effort to help divert at-promise youth from further involvement in the criminal justice system.
On May 3, 2016 (Item No. 39), the Board of Supervisors approved Agreement No. 16-185 with the District to share office and classroom space for the Program at the District’s Chaffey Adult School for the period of July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2021. Approval of the Recommendation will allow the Department to continue the Program.
