Last year in Broward County, there were 2,858 first-time juvenile offenders, with a criminal record, dealing with the Department of Juvenile Justice and the local criminal court system. Now, with recent state legislation, juvenile offenders have the opportunity to participate in a new Civil Citation Program for Juveniles, a collaborative partnership between law enforcement officials and the County’s Human Services Department.
