BACKGROUND: The N.C. Department of Public Safety partners with the Juvenile Crime Prevention Council (JCPC) to galvanize community leaders, locally and statewide, to reduce and prevent juvenile crime. JCPC members are appointed by the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC). Members represent nineteen (19) different fields/organizations, and the BOCC may also appoint up to seven (7) at-large members. The management of this Board's membership and appointment terms has recently transitioned to the Clerk's Office, so staff is still in the process of gathering age range and township information for each member. Before now, the BOCC approved the JCPC membership as part of the approval of the JCPC Annual Plan each year. Historically, the JCPC has not submitted an Annual Report and Work Plan. To formalize the member roster and set term expiration dates for each position, the BOCC is asked to approve the following: NAME POSITION DESCRIPTION TERM EXPIRATION DATE Captain Paul Bell Chief of Police or Designee 06/30/2027 Christy Watson Local Sheriff or Designee 06/30/2027 Amanda Farris Chief Court Counselor or Designee 06/30/2027 Rachel Donovan Director of LME/MCO or Designee 06/30/2027 Bernard Miles DSS Director or Designee 06/30/2027 Sharron Hinton County Manager or Designee 06/30/2027 Timeka Harper- Substance Abuse Professional 06/30/2028 Purcell
