INTAKE

Intake & Assessment:

Screening and Assessment:

Intake & Assessment serves as intake to the juvenile justice system and assess all youth arrested with an objective decision-making tool or Risk Assessment Instrument (RAI) to ensure fairness in the process, reduce disparities in the system, and assess risk to ensure high risk youth who pose a risk to public safety are removed from the community.  And those who pose low or minimal risk are released with or without supervision.  Intake operates on a twenty-four (24) hour basis.

Resources Referrals:

Following the implementation of the RAI, Intake will refer medium-scoring youth and their families to community-based services and provide direct services to youth through Orleans Parish Juvenile Court (OPJC) programs depending on the outcome of the risk assessment.
