Juvenile Assessment Centers (JAC), in Hillsborough and Polk County, are central receiving, processing, assessment, and intervention programs that bring community services for young offenders and truants in a multi-agency collaborative manner at a single location. Youth must be brought to the JAC by law enforcement. Case Management services are provided at JAC specifically for youth that are minor offenders and therefore eligible to be diverted from the Juvenile Court System. ACTS provides the case management services, including intake, assessment and direct referrals until the youth completes the diversion program. Prevention services are provided to all individuals presented for JAC services. The individuals view a video targeted at substance abuse prevention and are given the opportunity to discuss the film with a trained staff. The individuals are asked to complete a satisfaction survey.
