Coordinator, Civil CItation program for the Broward County Human Services Department

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. 

Here’s a good video overview of Civil Citation from the source. Includes Tallahassee Police Department officials and DISC Village CEO Tom Olk, VP Jordan Cowart.
