WHEREAS, Members of the Juvenile Justice Association of Texas |
|
|
are gathering in Austin on April 12, 2011, to mark Texas Juvenile |
|
|
Probation Day at the State Capitol; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In partnership, the State of Texas and county |
|
|
governments operate the Texas juvenile probation system, which |
|
|
includes nearly 170 community-based probation departments serving |
|
|
youth and families in every county across the state; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Texas Juvenile Probation Commission works with |
|
|
local juvenile boards and departments to support and enhance |
|
|
juvenile probation services by providing funding, technical |
|
|
assistance, and training; the TJPC establishes and enforces |
|
|
standards, collects, analyzes, and disseminates information, and |
|
|
facilitates communications between state and local entities; |
|
|
moreover, it exercises oversight of county detention facilities; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The backbone of the system, local juvenile probation |
|
|
departments and courts provide services to all youth referred to |
|
|
the system; the county departments handle most of the sanctions and |
|
|
therapeutic interventions imposed by the courts; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Juvenile Justice Association of Texas, |
|
|
established in 1999, promotes advocacy for Texas children through |
|
|
the provision of quality juvenile services; it represents dedicated |
|
|
juvenile probation and detention officers and furthers their |
|
|
professional development, training, and education; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Juvenile probation system professionals are deeply |
|
|
committed to making a positive difference in the lives of the more |
|
|
than 100,000 juveniles who are arrested in Texas or referred to the |
|
|
juvenile probation system each year, and through their tireless |
|
|
efforts, these public servants play a vital role in assuring the |
|
|
security and safety of our communities; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby recognize April 12, 2011, as Texas Juvenile |
|
|
Probation Day at the State Capitol and commend the outstanding |
|
|
professionals of our juvenile probation system for their important |
|
|
contributions. |
