At Pima County Juvenile Court, we are dedicated to the ongoing improvement of our juvenile justice system through active involvement in national efforts such as the Juvenile Detention Alternative Initiative (JDAI). Pima County Juvenile Court adopted JDAI in 2004 as a response to overcrowded facilities and welcomed the opportunity to look at policies, practices, and decision points to consider areas to improve. These System Improvement efforts are ongoing, data-driven and implemented collaboratively with our community partners.
The goal of our Juvenile Justice System Improvement Team is to foster a culture of system improvement and wellness with sustainable changes towards positive impacts on the children and families served by Pima County Juvenile Court. This aligns with the vision, mission, and core values of the Pima County Juvenile Court which are the cornerstone of our efforts. We aim to create a system that embodies effective community protection, restorative justice for victims, and positive futures for the youth we serve. We believe in holding youth accountable in a fair and just manner while assisting them in developing the skills necessary for their success. This holistic approach not only protects our community but also restores victims and supports successful outcomes for children and families.
