Juvenile Intensive Probation Supervision is a program designed to divert felony offenders from the Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections (ADJC). Each juvenile placed on JIPS is required to participate in a minimum of 32-hours a week of school, work, treatment or community restitution service. Juveniles are on house arrest and are not permitted to leave their residence without first obtaining permission from their probation officer. Only those juveniles who would otherwise be considered for commitment to the Arizona Department of Corrections, out-of-home placement or those ordered by the Court are screened for the JIPS Program. Factors that the Court considers when placing a youth on JIPS include: The Mohave County Probation Department employs JIPS Officers in Kingman, Lake Havasu City and Bullhead City. These caseloads are smaller by statute than standard probation caseloads. Diann Albert, JIPS Supervisor in Mohave County, has oversight responsibility for this program. JIPS is closely monitored by the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) and provides statistical information to the legislature annually. |
