PROJECT SUMMARY:
The Chula Vista Police Department has a diversion program which provides counseling and
referral to community resources of early delinquent and pre-delinquent juveniles in lieu
of referral to the Probation Department or "no further action" dispositions. Currently,
one counselor is employed in the program and it is planned to add another counselor to
work under his direction to provide on-going supervision of early delinquents and pre-
delinquents and follow up contacts with families and referral agencies. This counselor
would be required to do a minimum amount of paper work, would not be tied to an office
setting and would be community based.
The major benefit to be derived from this addition is increased capacity and effectiveness
of the local diversion program. By relieving the existing counselor of an excessive work
load, he will be allowed to devote more time to evaluation, referral and crisis inter-
vention. At the same time, the ongoing supervision of early and pre-delinquents, personal
family contacts and follow up on community resource referrals can be expanded and more
effectively maintained.
PROJECT OBJECTIVES:
1. To provide a broader and more thorough counseling program for evaluation, referral
and crisis intervention;
2. To provide a broader and more thorough follow-up program of ongoing supervision,
family contacts and coordination kith community referral resources in those cases
involving early and pre-delinquents diverted from Probation referral or handled informally
"no further action."

RESULTS TO BE ACHIEVED, MEASURES OF EFFECTIVE`.1ESS:
The Chula Vista Police Diversion Program, though not fully operational pending CCCJ
Grant funds, was instituted in 1972 by the e_*rployment of a Youth Counselor and transfer
of additional police personnel into the Youth Bureau and has shown some encouraging
results. For the first time in six years, there has been a decline in juvenile arrests
for delinquent acts. Specifically, juvenile arrests were down 14.2% in 1972 as compared
to 1971; referrals to the Probation Department were down 25% and referrals to resource
agencies (outside the juvenile justice system) increased by 26%. By comparison, three
other agencies which maintain similar juvenile statistics, the San Diego Police Depart-
ment, Sari Diego Sheriff's Department and the E1 Cajon Police Department, for the same
period showed an average increase of 5% in juvenile arrests and 7.5% in referrals to
the Probation Department.
With the additional assistant counselor and further development and refinement of our
diversion program, we anticipate even greater effect in reducing juvenile delinquency
and recidivism.
PROBLEM BACKGROUND:
In planning our diversion program and applying for CCCJ Grant funds, we underestimated
the work load that would be imposed on the Juvenile Counselor. In particular, we failed
to anticipate the amount of work with pre-delinquency problems that would originate from
outside sources such as parents, schools and community resource agencies. In 1972, the
Juvenile Counselor saw, in an average month, 31 youths and 31 parents in 55 counseling
sessions. 29% of these sessions were originated from a parent referral, school referral,
or other source outside the Police Department. In the remaining 71% a police contact
was involved. In addition, the counselor attended an average of seven meetings per
month and made numerous personal and telephone contacts with community agencies to
coordinate appropriate treatment. At the same time, he attempted to maintain a follow
up program.
At the present time the Juvenile Counselor`s position has, from necessity, moved to one
of almost strictly evaluation, referral, and crisis intervention, with little or no
time available for ongoing supervision, contacts with families on a regular basis and
close liaison with referral resources.
The current work load, projected work load, and need for program expansion necessitates
the addition of an assistant counselor to serve as a "community counselor" and provide
the much needed follow-up services.
APPROACH TO SOLVING THE PROBLEM:
The approach to solving this problem involves the employment of an additional counselor
to work as an assistant to the Juvenile Counselor.
The assistant counselor will reinforce the diversion program and increase its effective-
ness by providing follow-up services in the form o= ongoing supervision of early and
pre-delinquents, regular contacts with families and maintaining close liaiscn with
resource agencies.
The Juvenile Counselor will b e able to assimilate an increasing workload in counseling
for evacuation, referral and crisis intervention.
