WHEREAS, Texas Juvenile Justice Professional Day is taking |
|
|
place on February 12, 2019, and this occasion offers an ideal |
|
|
opportunity to recognize the outstanding contributions of the |
|
|
dedicated individuals working in this field; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Texas juvenile justice system is regarded as one |
|
|
of the most innovative in the country and is composed of 166 |
|
|
community-based probation departments that serve the state's 254 |
|
|
counties in partnership with the Texas Juvenile Justice Department; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, More than 8,200 certified juvenile probation and |
|
|
supervision officers work tirelessly and courageously to help |
|
|
rehabilitate young people, handling 100 percent of the referrals |
|
|
received by the juvenile justice system each year and providing |
|
|
ongoing services at the local level to 95 percent of those |
|
|
referrals; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, When dealing with young offenders, the Texas legal |
|
|
system depends on the efforts of juvenile court judges, juvenile |
|
|
prosecutors, juvenile defense attorneys and advocates, and law |
|
|
enforcement officers and their staff to break the cycle of youth |
|
|
crime and violence and protect the public from delinquent conduct; |
|
|
to ensure the consistency and quality of such services throughout |
|
|
the state, Texas Juvenile Justice Department staff members also |
|
|
offer assistance and training to all juvenile justice personnel, in |
|
|
addition to providing rehabilitation services directly to young |
|
|
offenders committed to the department's facilities; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Through their hard work and expertise, juvenile |
|
|
justice professionals make a positive difference in the lives of |
|
|
at-risk youth and help maintain the security of the citizens of |
|
|
Texas, and their contributions are indeed deserving of recognition; |
|
|
now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby recognize February 12, 2019, as Texas Juvenile |
|
|
Justice Professional Day and commend youth probation personnel, |
|
|
members of the Texas Juvenile Justice Department, and all those |
|
|
involved in the juvenile justice field for the essential services |
|
|
they provide. |
