Analysis:
Since 1992, the Huntington Beach Police Department has contracted with Waymakers, (formerly known as Community Service Programs, Inc. CSP), to manage the Juvenile Diversion Program.
The Juvenile Diversion Program provides an alternative to the traditional justice system for those who have committed less serious offenses. Referrals to the program come primarily from the Police Department after detentions or citations involving juvenile offenders. These first-time offenders are put in contact with Waymakers who facilitates counseling, legal awareness workshops, community service and restitution services for those who have committed relatively minor crimes.
A Request for Proposal (RFP) was conducted by the Finance Department for this professional service. Waymakers was the only bid submitted. Their submission was evaluated by the Police Department and found to meet the requirements of the Juvenile Diversion Program.
Environmental Status:
Not applicable.
Strategic Plan Goal:
Enhance and modernize public safety service delivery
Attachment(s):
1. Amendment 1 - Extension of Term to Professional Services Contract for Management of Juvenile Diversion Program.
2. Amendment 2 - Additional Compensation to Professional Services Contract for Management of Juvenile Diversion Program.
3. Original RCA and contract with Community Service Programs, Inc. for the Juvenile Diversion Program initiated in 2016.
