20 activities that can be offered indoors, such as acquiring software to offer virtual job shadowing, replacing outdated gaming systems, and purchasing other web-based platforms for career exploration. In-person visitation has been suspended and visits are encouraged to happen via their telehealth platform. Under circumstances where they need to be seen in person,they are allowed to meet on the porch with face coverings and social distancing. Families coming for intakes are to eater the house from the back and go into the dining area so outside visitors are restricted to one place that in turn helps with sanitizing and cleaning. JJ Data Report This data is from the new system and was pulled for the months of June and July. June—9 juveniles at intake, 24 complaints received, 1 undisciplined petition, school-based complaints data was unavailable, b approved for court, 3 juveniles put on a plan or contract, 0 closed, 4 placed in detention for a total of 59 days. July- S juveniles at intake, 57 complaints received, 0 undisciplined petitions, 1 school-based complaint, b approved for court, 0 juveniles put on a plan or contract, I closed, 7 placed in detention for a total of 71 days. Raise the Age YTD; 20 juveniles(projected 3G) at intake with 52 complaints (projected 87) For the juveniles in detention, they are releasing a large number on electronic monitoring and they have asked Raleigh to provide them with the data on the number of juveniles on electronic monitoring in Alamance, Chatham, and Change. They used to be run the report locally but are now unable. They are making home visits again while complying with social distancing and face coverings. A question was asked about the number of juveniles compared to number of complaints received. Recently there have been juveniles receiving a number of complaints; for example, one juvenile may receive 10 complaints. Additionally, in previous months,the number of juveniles at intake has been lower than total number of complaints received for the same month, and this can be attributed to how data is reported/run. For example, decisions on the complaints may not be made in the same month that the juvenile is reported for intake because they have up to 30 days to make a decision. A question was asked about whether the complaints they have been seeing are any different than usual due to COVID. The complaints are different in that they are seeing older youth getting involved in more serious offenses. You can also see the complaints are more serious by the increase in the number of youth placed in detention because historically Orange County doesn't place many youth in detention. They also haven't been seeing the school-based complaints due to COVID. Denise also pointed out that actual Raise the Age numbers are a bit lower than projected and that is also being seen across the state. As a result, Denise thinks that NC may be fall into the same category as the other states that didn't see a large explosion in youth corning into the system after Raise the Age went into effect. But could the lower number of older youth be related to COVID shutdowns/restrictions` They have also been seeing a number of offenses coming from the older youth as they pass through Orange County. For example, motor vehicle break-ins and breaking and entering. These were groups from Guilford and Durham counties and involved multiple youth and most were felonies. JCPC Business Review of Bylaws—The recommendation from Denise is for the JCPC members to review the Bylaws on their own time and send any questions to the whole group. Why Bylaws are revised, they must be presented to the Council at one meeting and voted on at the following meeting to allow for time to review/discussion of proposed changes. The changes are tracked within the document so that the Council
