Delinquency Prevention Unit

The Delinquency Prevention Unit uses GPS tracking to provide real-time monitoring/surveillance of juveniles to ensure they are following Court-ordered conditions to stay away from areas where they may have been associated with criminal offenses or individuals and to comply with Court-ordered curfews.

Intake Offices

Staff at these offices receive complaints from the police, screen cases, communicate with the Office of the DC Attorney General and the defense attorney representing the juvenile, and make representations to the judge in Court.

Child Guidance Clinic

The Child Guidance Clinic's core function is to provide Family Court with information derived from the clinic's court ordered forensic psychological evaluations. Click here to see information about the predoctoral psychology internship.
