Division of Youth Services Policies
The Division of Youth Services develops policies outlining procedures of its administration, programming, and practice. To increase transparency, the Division posts all policies on its website and encourages participation in the process. The policies are over 800 pages and broken into twenty-three (22) chapters covering topics such as medical and health care, programs and services, security and control, and training. Policies are reviewed on an ongoing basis and include research into best practices and input from subject matter experts, youth, employees, and stakeholders within the community.
