Problem Statement San Rafael is the largest community in riarin County, and serves as a gathering point for many county juveniles, as 4 -ell as a focal point for the youth scene. In 1981, 631 juveniles were arrested by the San Rafael Police Department (SP.PD) for cirlinal offenses. A third of those juveniles and their families were seen by the department's Youth Services Bureau in a. diversion progra:a. Simultaneously, the YSB Youth Services Officer cave blocks of instruction to all San Rafael riddle school stu(:ents and periodic presentations in the high schools, while a second officer gave puppet shop.- presentations in the elementary schools. A concormitant drop of more than 30% in the city's vandalism rate (a prime indicator of juvenile crime) occurred during the same year (the police department experienced an overall crir;:e 6ecrease of 5v) when all the other - local communities experienced a rise in their crime rates. As marry of the acting -out problems encountered by the police are syrptoms of other family or sociological dysfunctions, the immediacy and availability of interventions can be critical in ameliorating problems and future delinquent behavior. rnother signpost of potential delinquent behavior is a youth's lack of commitment to and success in school.. San Rafael has its share of non-performina and truant students, frith a school network that, due to decreasing funding of its own, has not been able to intervene and coordinate treatment for these identified. "Problem children". This lack of coordination and available tre tr.,ent allows r:any identified "at -risk" youth to fall between the cracks until later acting -out and police involvement. The present Youth Services Bureau of the SRPD consists of a Youth Counselor and a Youth Services Officer assigned to the schools. The SRPD's Community Relations'Officer also assisted with school programs whenever possible with a program that brings puppet safety presentations to grades K through 5. That program has reached each elementary student each year for the past four years. ITowever, with the termination of the Youth Services Officer's OCJP monies this year, and the present unavailability • of the Community Relations Officer .to perform the puppet shot.' presentations, both the Youth Services Officer and the Community Relations Officex�_'s youth and school involvement are likely to be elirinated this year. (The City has, hCV7ever, made the Youth Counselor positic:l a perranent one within the City budget an incication of their commitment to the goals of the YSE. ) t•:ith grant monies for one year, it would be Vossible to r.aintain the present program and increase its effectiveness even further. City officials have indicated a desire to fund the entire program at a later date arid outside funds at this time would allow the considerable momentum already achieved to be maintained. B . Proj ect Obj ect Ives This proposal would request the funding of a Youth Services Officer, a part-time civilian Elementary School Coordinator, and an assist& . Puppeteer paid on an hou.L.Ly wage to help provide the elementary school puppet safety program. ` The over-all program purpose is to build a. relationship with youth that will cause then. to: 1) use the services of the YSB counselor when needed, 2) understand the workinc; relationship that a police department rust have with the public, anc. 3) give us their cooperation in preventinc crime, especially when they reach an older age. For these reasons it is of utr-ost importance that the community's youth receive cc -Insistent contacts of a positive .nature with the police department's personnel. These repeated school contacts are also desicned to assist teachers, both i•:ith classroom instruction. and ct er school activities that c`an benefit fror: additional manrotirer. These .t contacts have provided teacher -police relatior_s:-,ips that foster the exchange of information and early intervention for "at -risk" youth. Specifically, the proposal's objectives are: 1) To promote a better working relationship with juveniles by reaching at least 2,000 elementary school stu(fznts with a safety/call-the-police puppet program. 2) To increase student understanding of the juvenile justice system by conducting classes on criminal justice at all three middle schools, reaching at least 1,000 students with a 10 -hour block of instruction for the 8th -graders, a 5 -hour black of instruction for the 7th -graders, and a 3 -hour block of ir.struction for the 6th -graders (or whatever the particular school deems appropriate). Ninety percent of the students who receive the instruction will be able to demonstrate an increased Y.no:-ledge of :the criminal justice system. 3) To provide consultation to the senior high school "Youth and the Law" classes that are now part of the offered school curriculum and to serve as a guest speaker when rea-uested for these classes. 4) To provide at least 40 hours per month of liaison and non -structured contact between students/teachers/administrators and the police department. 5) To present a film on child sexual abuse/rnole.st to 500 k through 2 students in .a prevention, identification, and treatment outreach effort in the schools. X C. 1-7ethodologv The school Relations Program, which includes the Youth Services Officer and the Elementary School Coordinator, will be included as part of the Youth Services Bureau, along with the City -staffed Youth Counselor. They will receive direct supervision from the Sergeant in charge of the Juvenile Investic,ations Bureau. A close relationship will be maintained with the Patrol and Community Relations Divisions by attending briefings, relating liaison information back to the police officers and serving as a resource for the department on juvenile and school matters. The School Relations Program will administer a total procrar., that encompasses education and liaison for school personnel, and reaches all ages of students each year, building from a. strong foundation of good attitude and cooperation_, to an understanding of the justice system ar_d police procedures, to a working relationship between the police and the cormunity. The Elementary School Coordinator will be the liaison contact for all of the elementary schools. He will also arrange and schedule the puppet safety and child abuse presentations with the teachers. He will give the presentations as arranged, • and maintain and transport the puppets and portable stare. He will train and/or supervise a part-time Puppeteer to assist with the presentations,•. This position woul(ft be Part -tire (25 hours :r per wee),-.) and would be suitable for a retired police officer or other person representing the police c:epartrer=. i:e v7ill spend the majority of his time in the field either arrancrina for or giving the prese rtations, or informally talking with and exchanging information with school personnel. The youth Services Officer will be the liaison contact for the middle schools and the high schools. He will arrange, schedule and give blocks of instruction_ in crirlinal just ice in all middle school classes. He will arrange and schedule child abuse presentations in the middle schools. Ile will be available for consultation and guest appearances in the high school "Youth and the Law" classes.

He will participate in or supervise youth activities in the schools and community. fie will be available - on the school campuses during, their free time for informal, non -enforcement interaction to build a trusting and friendly relationship. A part-time Puppeteer will assist the Elementary School Coordinator with puppet safety presentations and the transportation of the puppets and portable stage. The Elementary School Coordinator and the Youth Services Officer ,ill make appropriate early interventionary referrals . to the Youth Counselor. D. Grcanizationa1 Qual_f-cations .5- The SRPD has operated a YSD since mid -1979 through L.F.A.A. and O.C.J.P. funds. The services of the YSD have included divert i. --,g first-time offenders from the j uvenile j ustice system, providing legal education, consultation and liaison in the schools, and providing intervention services for pre-delinauert juveniles and their families. The SRPD is in a unique position to provide these services since it is the primary agency that comes into contact with juverile offenders, is community-based, and has direct access to the patrol officers and local scene. Furthermore, the-SRPD's YSD has established a personal arct solid relationship with the local schools which provides easy access and trust for school - site services. Regular contact and familiarity vith other local youth and family -serving agencies has already been established. Additionally, the SP.PD's YSB has exhibited a consistent and effective track record over the past three years of administering such a�program. E .
