Dear Chief Olson:
PETER BOZANICH
Assistant District Attorney
The Office of Criminal Justice Planning (OCJP) has informed us that we are now entering the
fourth annual application period for the Juvenile Accountability Incentive Block Grant (JAIBG).
Your city council should also have received a JAIBG Request for Application (RFA) and
corresponding paperwork from OCJP. As we did last year, we are again writing to advise you of
the time frame to complete the grant application.
For the past three years, the District Attorney's Office has utilized its share of Los Angeles
County's JAIBG funds to place one senior Grade IV deputy district attorney in each of the
county's nine juvenile court offices to enhance prosecution efforts. In addition, fifty-six cities
have released their JAIBG funds yearly to the District Attorney's Office to support four
prosecution programs they select: HEAT (Heightened Enforcement and Targeting, a juvenile
gang prosecution program); the 707" prosecution program focused on serious, violent juvenile
offenders; ACT (Abolish Chronic Truancy); and JOIN (Juvenile Offender Intervention Network),
a diversion program for first-time, non-violent juvenile offenders.
Since the inception of these JAIBG programs in 1999, our prosecutors have received positive
feedback from cities and local law enforcement agencies for their dedication and service in
juvenile investigations and prosecutions. In the coming year, the District Attorney's Office will
continue its commitment to the assignment of a senior deputy district attorney in each juvenile
court. We are also pleased to offer our continuing support for the HEAT and 707 prosecution
programs and the ACT and JOIN early intervention programs provided in your cities.
The 2002 allocation for the City of Vernon is $8,703. We are taking this opportunity to invite you
to continue your partnership with the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office in the JAIBG
program for Year Four under the same terms as this past year.'
1 The District Attorney will again contribute the required matching funds for each city partner. All cities are
encouraged to determine whether they wish to release their JAIBG funds to another jurisdiction for Year Four. These
cities will need to communicate with their partner agency and complete the waiver as described in this
correspondence and the RFA.

If your city chooses to continue in the JAIBG program, we will need to receive a letter of
intent to release your allocated funds to the Office of the District Attorney no later than
April 26, 2002, to meet the state deadline. To finalize the release of funds, OCJP again
requires a waiver form with the city manager/administrator's original signature and city seal or
notarization. We recognize that many cities will need city council approval to execute the
attached waiver, therefore we ask that you forward your completed waiver form to Special
Assistant District Attorney Mia Baker by May 31, 2002. 2
If your city previously submitted an individual application for JAIBG funding, you may apply
directly to the Office of Criminal Justice Planning for Year Four JAIBG funds unless you would
like to participate in one of the programs described above. If your city is interested in working
together during this current funding cycle, please contact Deputy District Attorney Susan
Steinfeld at (213) 974-9870.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Susan Steinfeld or Mia Baker at
(213) 202-7652.
