JUVENILE PROBATION DEPARTMENT OVERVIEW
The Butler County Juvenile Probation Department conducts investigations
at the direction of the Juvenile Court Judges and presents the findings of the
investigations to the Judges. In addition, the Juvenile Probation Department
provides supervision for youth involved with the Juvenile Court.
The Balanced Approach Philosophy is the framework that guides the
Juvenile Probation Department. This philosophy emphasizes holding youth
accountable for their actions, keeping the community safe from the individual and
referring youth to resources that increase the youth’s ability to be successful in
the community. The Butler County Juvenile Probation Department implements
this framework by:
1. Enforcing the orders of the court (Accountability) –Probation Officers
will recommend sanctions such as restitution to victims, driver license
suspensions and community service. When the court orders restitution
and/or community service, these orders can be met through the Butler
County Juvenile Court Work Program.
The Butler County Juvenile Court Work Program consists of Work
Program Officers that supervise youth at nonprofit work sites within the
community, which allows the youth to fulfill the order of the court and to
give back to the community. If the youth owes restitution to a victim,
the community service hours worked can be converted to money that
goes directly to the victim. The Juvenile Court Law Enforcement
Program (JCLE), was created in 2008 to have a contracted Butler
County Sheriff’s Officer to actively look for court involved youth who
had warrants.
2. Referring youth to resources to improve their chances to be successful
within the community (Skill Development) – Probation Officers link
youth to resources within the community that will address the
behaviors that have brought the youth to court. A continuum of
substance abuse treatment services, from education to inpatient
services, is available for those with substance abuse issues. Other
resources, are outpatient counseling, anger management classes,
mentoring and Community Wraparound. Community Wraparound is
process that works with each family to create a team who can plan and
deliver services and supports to families in need.
3. Supervising youth who remain in the community (Public Safety) –If
court-involved youth are a risk to the community, the youth must be
removed from the community, however if court-involved youth are in
the community, the Probation Department must supervise the youth.
Probation Officers have face to face contact with the youth at their
home and at school. The Probation Department also utilizes House
6
Arrest, Home Incarceration, Electronic Monitoring and Curfew to
restrict the juveniles’ movement within the community. Probation
Officers go to homes in the evening to verify that the youth are
complying with the restrictions. Drug screening is also utilized by
Probation Officers to monitor court involved youth
The Butler County Juvenile Probation Department has three levels of
Supervision; Diversion Supervision, Court Supervision and Probation
Supervision.
Diversion Supervision is provided to youth who are referred to the court for
the first time for committing minor offenses and are willing to take responsibility
for their actions. A Diversion Supervisor, Diversion Officer, and at times, interns
from social work fields and other related courses of study, supervise those youth,
ensuring that they are held accountable for their actions.
Court Supervision is provided to youth who are found to be delinquent or
unruly and are not in need of the structure provided by Probation Supervision.
Compliance Probation Officers supervise these youth to ensure that the youth
fulfill the orders of the court.
Probation Supervision is provided to youth who are found to be serious,
high risk offenders and/or chronic offenders. Field Probation Officers supervise
these youth, not only to ensure that they comply with the orders of the court, but
also that the youth show improvement in their functioning at home, school and
community.

INSTITUTIONAL PLACEMENTS
Whenever a youth commits a felony offense, the Probation Department
considers some form of incarceration. Probation will look at the seriousness of
the offense, past criminal history and past compliance with probation as factors
to determine what form of incarceration to recommend. Most felony youth are
recommended for the Juvenile Rehabilitation Center because they receive
treatment locally and the parent/guardian participates in that treatment. If the
youth is unsuccessful in that program or the juvenile is deemed inappropriate
for that setting, the youth is recommended for commitment to the Ohio
Department of Youth Services (juvenile prison system). The other option for the
most serious offenders is to recommend that the youth be transferred to the
adult court. The Probation Department will look at the age of the offender, the
seriousness of the offense(s), and the past efforts to address the behavior as
factors to determine whether to recommend that the youth be bound over to the
adult court.

JUVENILE DETENTION CENTER OVERVIEW
The Butler County Juvenile Detention Center is a 42 bed holding facility
for juveniles who have been charged with either an unruly or delinquency
offense. Juveniles are admitted to the facility via referral from either a local law
enforcement agency or juvenile court if it is determined the youth warrant’s
secure placement. The facility has a rated capacity of 30 male and 12 female
beds. Residents admitted to the facility are separated based on factors such as
age, sex, and seriousness of offense. The mission of JDC is to provide shortterm care in secure custody for juveniles accused of a crime, awaiting placement,
juveniles who have been adjudicated and court action is pending, juveniles who
are awaiting transfer to another facility or for those juveniles that cannot be
served in an open setting.
In 2012, the population at the detention center increased from the
previous year’s admission totals. The facility received 907 admissions in 2012
compared to 888 during 2011. The average length of stay for residents averaged
16 days, while the average daily population was 42 residents. The facility
admitted 169 juveniles for various felony offenses ranging from Aggravated
Robbery, Aggravated Burglary, Rape, Robbery, Burglary, Felonious Assault,
Gross Sexual Imposition, and Breaking and Entering to lesser felony offenses
and another 292 juveniles for misdemeanor offenses.
The facility utilizes the Hamilton City School District to provide educational
programming to facility residents. The facility also employs a Program
Coordinator to provide daily programming to residents in the areas of life skills,
money management, character education, drug awareness, anger management,
and parenting. The facility utilizes the Butler County Crisis and Consultation
Center to address the needs of youth being held in the facility who are in need
crisis intervention. Religious services are provided on a voluntary basis to all
residents by a variety of volunteer representatives from local community
churches.

JUVENILE REHABILITATION CENTER OVERVIEW
The Butler County Juvenile Rehabilitation Center (BCJRC) is a 30 bed
secure facility housing male felony offenders from southwestern Ohio. Built as
the first juvenile Community Correctional Facility (CCF) in Ohio, the facility
was created to house offenders in a secure setting, while providing
programming designed to help youth become productive citizens.
Youth incarcerated in the facility are provided a variety of programs,
both individual and group, designed to meet their unique needs. Programming
includes cognitive behavioral interventions designed to motivate and teach
residents how to make important life changes. Specialized programs such as
sex offender, substance abuse and trauma focused cognitive behavioral
treatment are also provided for identified youth. While incarcerated, parents
of our residents are involved in Parent Education groups and ongoing family
sessions. These services have been created to aid in the transition of youth
back to their home community.
While the main focus of the facility is to change the criminal thinking
and behavior of our residents, academic improvement is also targeted. Intake
testing and educational history allow facility teachers to provide an
individualized instruction plan (IIP) for each resident. Residents coming to the
facility with an individual education plan (IEP) shall work closely with a special
educator to meet their unique educational needs. Comprehensive assessment
coupled with targeted instruction has resulted in significant academic
improvement for many of our residents.
Recent educational changes and enhancements made by the Hamilton City
School District includes:
• Move to year-round school calendar.
• Move to computer-lab learning system – Pace Accelerated Learning Lab
(ALL) software, with integrated, compatible print materials for students
needing extra teacher assistance.
• Pace ALL is comprised of the content areas:
o Reading/Language Arts
o Writing (print only)
o Mathematics
o Social Studies
o Science
• This program can be used for remediation, credit recovery, and GED
preparation.
• The Pace ALL is a structured, individualized program that is software
driven rather than web-based to maintain security within the
correctional environment.

After completing an online placement assessment, students will work
within assigned content areas to meet individualized needs.
Highly qualified content certificated teachers will direct student
learning in the content classrooms.
A Special Education Intervention Specialist is available to provide
additional intervention and accommodations.
Students assessed at higher achieving levels and up to date with credits
may participate in independent study of higher level courses.
Course assignment will first address credit deficiencies or core classes
needed to graduate.
Incorporate Hamilton City School District’s Character Education Focus
into the curriculum.
Adoption of an Advisor/Advisee model, with students paired with
teachers for progress monitoring.
In closing, the good work of this facility would not be possible if it were
not for the involvement of our community partners. Organizations which
deserve special thanks are the Hamilton Christian Center, Alcohol and Chemical
Abuse Council, Miami University, along with the volunteers and mentors who
have reached out to our residents. Finally, special recognition should be given
to our staff who tirelessly work with our youth, helping them help themselves.

JUVENILE TRAFFIC OVERVIEW
In 2012, the number of traffic citations issued to juveniles continued to
decline. The possible cause or causes of this trend are, perhaps, unknowable.
We are certain, however, that several factors have played a role in this ongoing
decline. As a nation, we have continued to struggle with the effects of a
recovering economy. The statistics from the Federal Highway Commission show
that a precipitous drop in vehicle miles driven in the United States occurred
between 2006 and 2007. To date, that statistic has remained depressed. When
there are fewer automobiles on the road, fewer accidents and offenses occur.
Economic conditions have continued to make it difficult for juveniles to find
employment. Historically, many juvenile traffic offenses occur when minors
are trying to make their way from school to work or after they have had a long
day of work and school. Finally, we are, perhaps, reaping the benefits of the
increased media, legal, and parental attention which has been brought to bear
upon the issue of teen driving safety over the past few years. In addition to
numerous factors for decline outside of our control, this court has continued its
policies regarding suspensions of licenses for many juvenile offenders.
OVI offenses continued to decline in 2012, mirroring a trend noted last
year. We hope that the trend will continue moving downward.
This court continues to utilize the services of the Hamilton Safety
Council, The Middletown Safety Council, Horizon Recovery Services, and
CarTeens in an effort to educate, evaluate, and, when needed, provide
treatment services for teen drivers who commit offenses. Those community
partners provide excellent services to this court and to the families of this
county

SUPPORT SERVICES OVERVIEW
The Support Services Unit is comprised of a team of case managers who
provide critical coordination of information and services to the court system,
the public, the legal community, law enforcements agencies, volunteer
agencies, as well as social service agencies within and outside of Butler County.
The array of cases handled by the case managers include abuse, neglect, and
dependency actions, adult criminal actions, custody/visitation actions, and
child support matters.
A total of 656 cases involving 1,329 allegations of abuse (266), neglect
(407), and dependency (656) were filed by Butler County Children Services and
private citizens in 2012. Additionally, 85 motions for permanent custody were
filed during the year.
A total of 489 cases comprised of 577 adult criminal offenses were filed
by police departments, truant officers, or private citizens in 2012. Of those,
299 were parents charged with Failure to Send A Child to School and 203 were
parents charged with Contributing to the Delinquency or Unruliness of a Minor.
In 2000, a specialized truancy docket was created to focus on school truancy
issues. Parents or custodians may be fined up to $1,000.00 or sentenced to six
months in the Butler County Jail if found guilty of this criminal offense.
The Support Services Unit also facilitates the Family Drug Court Program
(FDCP). The mission of the Butler County Juvenile Court-Family Drug Court is to
expedite the reunification of children with their parent(s) in abuse, neglect,
and dependency case whereupon parent(s) have identified drug and/or alcohol
dependency problems and have complied with court orders, or to expedite
permanency in the children’s cases whereupon the parent(s) refuse to comply
with court orders.
The Family Drug Court Program is a voluntary program that offers a new
opportunity to parents who are involved with Juvenile Court because the
Children’s Service Agency has filed a complaint of abuse, neglect, or
dependency. The FDCP provides parents with a more intensive focus on
treatment and monitoring. The parents are provided immediate access to
needed services as well as interaction with a Judicial Hearing Officer and a
team of professionals. The parents attend weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly court
hearings and compliance, or non-compliance is reviewed by the Team and
immediate incentives and sanctions are given. When parents are successful, the
family is reunified quicker. In 2012, five individuals were accepted to the
program. Four successfully completed. Currently there are 6 participants.

INFORMATION SERVICES OVERVIEW
In 2012, Butler County Juvenile Court Information Services supported the
full and part time staff of the Juvenile Court, Juvenile Detention Center and
Juvenile Rehabilitation Center. Daily operations included necessary server
maintenance, the processing of the tape backups and monitoring the availability
of all electronic Court information. Information Services continued creating
standard and ad hoc statistical reports for use by the Court for decision making
and planning.
The Juvenile Court Information Services Department continued to be
responsible for ordering and maintaining all of the personal computers, printers,
scanners and servers used at the Juvenile Justice Center. In 2012, the
Information Services Department began planning for server and desktop system
upgrades utilizing the County’s established infrastructure. Virtual server
installations and thin client desktop replacements were selected as the preferred
products.
The Court continued to utilize the Kronos Timekeeping System. This
system managed the collection and distribution of employee hours in every area
of the Juvenile Justice Center. The system captured arrival times and departure
times, transfers from one department to another, and changes in shift or pay
categories for all staff members.
