Juvenile Intensive Supervision Probation (JISP)

Juvenile Intensive Supervision Probation (JISP) is an intensive community based program providing supervision and services to juvenile offenders at risk of being removed from home and entering state's custody who have been sentenced by the court to a term of probation. JISP is more intensive than the standard probation provided by court services. A Community Supervision Officer (CSO) is assigned to each youth placed on JISP. The CSO assesses the youth's risk and needs by conducting an evidence based practice assessment called the Youth Level of Service/Case Management Inventory (YLS/CMI). The CSO, with the input of  the offender, his family and others involved in his care and treatment, develop a supervision plan to address the risks and needs identified by the YLS/CMI. The CSO engages the youth and family, assists the youth and family to access community based services, monitors the youth's adherence to court ordered probation conditions, and provides updates to the court concerning the youth's supervision.
