How the county councils and circuit boards work
The Florida legislature authorized juvenile
justice councils at the county level and established circuit
juvenile justice boards. Each county council appoints
representatives to serve on the circuit board. The county
councils and circuit boards serve as advisors to the
Department of Juvenile Justice. Members of the boards and
councils work closely with Delinquency Prevention Specialist
and the Community Partnership Coordinators to plan for
services that meet the identified needs of juveniles and
families within the local community.
Boards and councils primarily focus on
juvenile delinquency prevention programs and services such
as mentoring, teen courts, neighborhood accountability
boards, partnership programs, after-school programs and public forums.
Florida Statutes, 985.664 Juvenile justice
circuit boards and juvenile justice county councils.
County Councils
The county councils were created to ensure
broad community participation. All interested citizens are
encouraged to attend county council meetings. Each county
council includes but not limited to: members of the local
school district, the board of county commissioners, local
elected officials, local law enforcement, the judicial
system, the business community, social service providers,
the faith community, victim service programs and victims of
crime, Department of Children and Families, Department of
Corrections, other interested officials and groups,
including students, parents, children’s services councils
and public or private providers of juvenile justice programs.
Circuit Boards
Each circuit board is composed of
representatives chosen by the juvenile justice county
councils within the circuit. The county councils appoint
members to the circuit board.
Members of the circuit board must include
the state attorney, the public defender and the chief judge
of the circuit.
