The plan
The plan shall include, but not be limited to, the following components:
(a) An assessment of existing law enforcement, probation, education, mental health, health, social services, drug and alcohol, and youth services resources which specifically target at-risk juveniles, juvenile offenders, and their families.
(b) An identification and prioritization of the neighborhoods, schools, and other areas in the community that face a significant public safety risk from juvenile crime, such as gang activity, daylight burglary, late-night robbery, vandalism, truancy, controlled substance sales, firearm-related violence, and juvenile alcohol use within the council’s jurisdiction.
(c) A local action plan (LAP) for improving and marshaling the resources set forth in subdivision (a) to reduce the incidence of juvenile crime and delinquency in the areas targeted pursuant to subdivision (b) and the greater community. The council shall prepare their plans to maximize the provision of collaborative and integrated services of all the resources set forth in subdivision (a), and shall provide specified strategies for all elements of response, including prevention, intervention, suppression,
and incapacitation, to provide a continuum for addressing the identified male and female juvenile crime problem, and strategies to develop and implement locally based or regionally-based out-of-home placement options for youths who are persons described in Section 602.
(d) Develop information and intelligence-sharing systems to ensure that county actions are fully coordinated, and to provide data for measuring the success of the grantee in achieving its goals. The plan shall develop goals related to the outcome measures that shall be used to determine the effectiveness of the program.
(e) Identify outcome measures which shall include, but not be limited to, the following:
(1) The rate of juvenile arrests.
(2) The rate of successful completion of probation.
(3) The rate of successful completion of restitution and court-ordered community service responsibilities.
