14 <br /> DJJ Data—Reported on data for month of July 2015: received 11 complaints on 8 different <br /> juveniles, 1 approved for court, 5 placed on plan, 1 closed. Complaints received were during <br /> month of July but some may carry-over to August because DJJ has 30 days. Peggy is thinking of <br /> removing gang-related category from report for Orange because our county doesn't see much <br /> gang-related activity. Two juveniles were placed in detention, 2 in Wrenn House, and 6 on <br /> electronic monitoring. Orange County is utilizing alternatives to detention as much as possible. <br /> Is it possible to report on number of youth who are involved in a gang, but whose offense may <br /> not have been gang-related? JCPC board member and program providers expressed concern and <br /> interest in tracking number of youth who have gang involvement. This type of information is <br /> captured in Risk&Needs Assessment administered by DJJ and this data will be rolled out soon <br /> for FY 14/15 to help drive funding priorities for upcoming RFP. Tool is validated but it is self- <br /> report and therefore we know that there are certain areas that will be underreported. Therefore, it <br /> is very important when the Risk &Needs committee meets for program providers to be present <br /> to share their first-hand knowledge on underreported areas and voice opinion for what areas are <br /> lacking resources and need funding. <br /> Is there a way to collect and report on info for 16 & 17 year olds who are sometimes served by <br /> the programs? While not collected with DJJ system is there another way within the state to get <br /> this information? Risk and need info collected in DJJ system isn't collected in adult system, not <br /> even for 16 & 17 year olds. District Attorney's office is working on 16/17 year old diversion <br /> plan to start working with offender's in that age category differently. <br /> JCPC Business <br /> Conflict of Interest Form—Must be completed by voting JCPC members. Please fill out and turn <br /> in to Rebekah today. <br /> FY 15/16 Action Plan—Included in your packets for your review. This is the document that <br /> guides us throughout the year. As the year progresses we will fill in the evaluation/results <br /> column with outcomes. <br /> Subcommittee Sign-Ups—Most pressing subcommittee is Membership. Judge Bryan, Susan, <br /> Peggy, and Lee all volunteered in June to serve on this committee. If anyone else is interested <br /> please let us know. There are a few positions that are open and need to be filled. Membership <br /> committee will take the names of people who have been suggested to fill open spots and contact <br /> them to share information about JCPC and determine their interest in serving on the board. The <br /> Chair would like the subcommittee to make recommendations to the board at October's meeting. <br /> Rebekah will email committee to get everything started. <br /> Conference Opportunities—There are two fliers for upcoming in back of packet of upcoming <br /> conference opportunities: NC Juvenile Services Association Fall Conference at Carolina Beach <br /> and National Symposium on Juvenile Services in Pittsburgh PA. In the past JCPC has provided <br /> funds to programs and board members to attend these conferences so that everyone is afforded <br /> an opportunity to stay current with what is happening in the state and nation around <br /> programming and juvenile services. <br />
