Calcasieu Parish Reform
Annie E. Casey Foundation “Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative”
MacArthur Foundation “Models for Change”
Structured Assessment of Violence Risk in Youth (SAVRY) – Pilot Site
The Vera Institute, New York, NY observed and documented how the parish
currently responds to status offenders. A paper was published on the four
elements of Calcasieu’s system that stood out as consistent with national best
practice.
“The Need for Change”
“In Calcasieu Parish, we realized that although we did not have
the answers, we knew we had a lot of room for improvement.
We decided to change the way we do business!”
•
•
•
•
•
Number of juveniles referred to court and/or to detention was not
decreasing
Due to the above, we were not providing effective programming for
our kids
Overall we were not being efficient enough to provide quality
services
We were not always focusing on the “right kids”
Timing in our parish was “ripe” for change
Need for
a
Catalyst!

Lessons Learned
The Art of Listening!
“I recall being asked to comment on the
issues law enforcement experienced with
juveniles. I distinctly remember explaining
that we knew what to do when kids
commit a felony. However, the problem
was what to do with guardians when they
call and kids won’t clean their rooms, do
homework and other non-specific things
that were behavioral and not necessarily
criminal”
More “Tools in the Toolbox”
Lessons Learned

•
•

•
•



Engaging Court Officials:
Understand their roles in the system and identify how they will
benefit from reform.
Acknowledge barriers up front and propose practical solutions to
removing them
Engaging School Officials:
Face to face contact works better than emails or phone calls.
Address how this effort aligns with their agency objectives
Engaging Law Enforcement:
Engage law enforcement not only from the onset, but at every
stage of reform. A strong foundation only increases sustainability.
Acknowledge that system change is reciprocal with Law
Enforcement. This requires a understanding of their operating
systems.
Listening to Results
“Now that we have the center which is
open it has dramatically changed the
process for handling juveniles in our
community, as well as provide law
enforcement with a valuable option
that enables them to first be able to
keep the juvenile safe and at the same
time allow them to return back to their
respective duties.”
More “Tools in the Toolbox”
Systemic Cultural Sustainability
• Continuous, ongoing training through
the Academy
• Reviewing and analyzing the data
• Educating the public on the results
Accepting the “My Child” challenge
• It requires understanding, commitment, and
tools.

Why CIC was Created?
• Create an avenue to intervene with juveniles at risk
of becoming more serious, violent, and chronic
offenders.
• Short-term reception facility that will hold juveniles
up to not exceeding 24 hours of admission.
• One-stop centralized intake, assessment and
referral system for arrested juveniles.
• Bridges the gap between non-secure youth shelters
and Juvenile Bureau Detention Centers.
Tulsa Area Community Intervention Center
History and Background
• In 1995 representatives from Office of Juvenile
Affairs and Youth Services began discussing the
concept of juvenile CIC’s.
• Resulted in the establishment of 8 sites in
Oklahoma.
• Tulsa Area Community Intervention Center is the 9th
CIC in the state of Oklahoma.
• Joint venture between the Office of Juvenile Affairs,
City of Tulsa and Youth Services.
Tulsa Area Community Intervention Center
Goal of Community Intervention Centers
• To provide early intervention for juveniles with law
violations including delinquent and misdemeanor
charges, who are not eligible for detention.
• To provide a quick drop-off for Law Enforcement
Officers – permits officers to return to their duties
within 15 minutes.
• To connect juveniles/youth back with their parents
as soon as possible.
Tulsa Area Community Intervention Center
Mission
• Assist law enforcement
officers by providing a 24-hour
short term retaining facility for
quick drop-off of juveniles so
officers can return to their
duties in the community;
• Provide a safe and secure
environment for juveniles who
have been arrested;
• Reduce recidivism of juvenile
offenders by delivering
immediate consequences for
delinquent behavior;
• Detect and address the
underlying causes of
delinquent or problem
behavior on the front end as a
preventive measure;
• Intervene before problems
escalate into chronic or more
serious offenses; and
• Create a more effective and
efficient alliance between
police, parents, juvenile justice
and treatment providers.
