18th Judicial District Juvenile Assessment Center Memorandum of Understanding
The Juvenile Assessment Center (JAC) provides a coordinated site that contributes to the safety of youth, families and the community through early intervention, comprehensive assessment and improved access to appropriate services in Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties in Colorado. Thirty-four different organizations in the 18th Judicial District are subject to this Memorandum of Understanding, which was approved by Town Council. The annual funding contribution for each organization is calculated using a formula that is weighed equally by each law enforcement agency’s total population and their average usage of the JAC over a three-year period. The Parker Police Department’s contribution for 2018 was $23,155.07. A similar contribution is anticipated for 2019
