Programs 

The Johnson County Diversion program is designed to help struggling juveniles. Our Diversion program is low-impact and provides education on making better decisions. We offer online and in-person classes to help juveniles navigate illegal or inappropriate behaviors.

What to expect

Either by referral from Law Enforcement or a parent referral, you will meet a Deputy Juvenile Officer who will meet with you to better understand the juvenile's needs. Classes and other resources will be provided. We give you the resources and tools for you to implement.

The Informal Agreement is designed to assist juveniles and parents with behaviors that can not be corrected with one visit to the office. Still offering online and in-person classes, the Informal Agreement provides more structured meetings and supervision.

What to expect.

Either by referral from law enforcement or a parent referral, you will meet with a Deputy Juvenile Officer to better understand the juvenile and your family's needs. An Informal Agreement will be offered; the agreement normally lasts around 6 months, during which the juvenile and a trusted adult will meet with the Juvenile Officer in-person and monitor progress of classes and other services offered.

These services are designed for additional supervision from the Johnson County Juvenile Judge and the Deputy Juvenile Officer.
