Fitchett 300 Shea Drive Phone: 757-382-8796 Juvenile Court Services in Chesapeake, Virginia, has been designated as one of the pilot agencies in the development of a locally based juvenile court records application through the Department of Justice Byrne Grant. A partnership has been achieved of local and State agencies including court services, police, schools, human services, Sheriff, Health Department, and others. From disparate systems the City has developed a shared database system to provide better services for at-risk juveniles. In conjunction with that database is an Intranet thin-client based application and the City's geographic information system. GIS and spatial analysis are being utilized to help identify at-risk students and support truancy prevention and early intervention services. |
