5/21/2012

Clark County Juvenile Court, in partnership with the Safe Communities Task Force, was recently awarded a grant to implement a Gang Intervention Team. The project aims to address disproportionate minority contact with juvenile justice in Clark County by targeting gang-involved youth and providing them with services. Funding comes from the federal Juvenile Justice & Delinquency Prevention Act Title II Formula Grants Program, which is administered by the Washington State Partnership Council on Juvenile Justice through its staff within the Office of Juvenile Justice, Department of Social and Health Services.The $57,000 grant begins in May and ends in December 2012. The Safe Communities Task Force is already working on sustaining the project beyond the grant period as part of its overall comprehensive plan to address youth gangs through a balanced approach of prevention, intervention and suppression.
