TO: B.V. Malkenhorst, City Administrator
FROM: Bruce W. Olson, Chief of Police 0
SUBJECT: Juvenile Accountability Incentive Block Grant
Sir:
As we have done for the past four years, I am requesting that the $7,102 we have been allocated this year
by the Office of Criminal Justice Planning for the Juvenile Accountability Incentive Block Grant be
released to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office. By releasing these funds to the D.A.'s
Office, they will use these funds to place Deputy District Attorneys in juvenile offices to enhance youth
accountability and prosecution efforts.
I have attached a copy of Resolution No. 7954, dated MayR, 2002, which addresses this same request
made last year.
I would request that this item be forwarded to the City Attorney's Office for review and preparation of a
new resolution.

Dear Chief Olson:
The state Office of Criminal Justice Planning (OCJP) has informed us that we are now entering
the fifth annual application period for the Juvenile Accountability Incentive Block Grant (JAIBG).
Your city manager 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 four years, the District Attorney's Office has utilized its share of Los Angeles
County's JAIBG funds to place senior Grade IV deputy district attorneys in juvenile court offices
to enhance youth accountability and prosecution efforts. In addition, more than fifty cities have
released their JAIBG funds" each year to the District Attorney's Office to support one of four
prosecution programs that they select: HEAT (Heightened Enforcement and Targeting, a
juvenile gang prosecution program); ACT (Abolish Chronic Truancy); JOIN (Juvenile Offender
Intervention Network, a diversion program for first-time, non-violent juvenile offenders); and the
"707" prosecution program targeting serious, violent juvenile crime. This year we have updated
the 707 program to better address current juvenile crime issues in our local communities, and
these prosecutors will be known as "Special Projects" deputies. Please see the attached list of
position descriptions for further details. The City of Vernon currently participates in the 707
Program described in more detail in the attachment.
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. Caseloads in the juvenile courts have been reduced
by more than 20% through the elimination of backlogs and the enhancement of prosecution
efforts. Case processing time has been streamlined and reduced by more than 30% in the past
5 years. More than 2,000 youth have been diverted from the criminal justice system, and over
100,000 serious juvenile cases were appropriately adjudicated using JAIBG funds.
The 2003 allocation for the City of Vernon is $7,102. 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 Five. The District Attorney's Office will again contribute the required 10%
matching funds for its city partners that release JAIBG funds to this department, thus no
matching funds are required from your city if you choose to participate in JAIBG with the District
Attorney's Office.

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
May 23, 2003, 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 June 20, 2003.' To reiterate, we need a letter of intent
to release funds by May 23, 2003 and a completed waiver no later than June 20, 2003.
If your city has lost its JAIBG appropriation this year or the amount of funding was reduced from
last year, we welcome your continued participation in a JAIBG program using other city or grant
funds. For more information about this available option or if you have any questions about
JAIBG programs or procedures, please contact Deputy District Attorney Susan Steinfeld at
(213) 974-9870 or Mia Baker at (213) 202-7652.
Very truly yours,
