The purpose of Youth Supervision is to assure that youth probationers comply with the orders of the Juvenile Court. The primary concern is the protection of the community as well as rehabilitation. All officers are trained to supervise caseloads of selected medium to high risk offenders and most are armed. Officers assigned to these units have knowledge of intervention strategies, treatment techniques, and community resources available to modify the behavior of the probationers. Evidence based programming and best practices are part of the protocol for these services.

Probationers are geographically supervised by officers within these units. There are also specialized case loads that include youth adjudicated on graffiti charges, sexual offenses, and probationers who have reached the age of 18 who still owe restitution and/or fines.
