The Juvenile Services Division serves the probation needs of those who have been accused of committing a crime when they were under the age of 18 years. These individuals, commonly referred to as minors, will either be residents of Placer County or the crime will have occurred in Placer County. Division officers prepare a written report for the courts with information on a minor's socio-economic background, school and community history, any prior probation history, and other relevant information. The report will include the Probation Officer's sentencing recommendation, including the terms of probation the officer feels will be most effective to rehabilitate the minor and to help make restitution to the victim(s).

Once on probation, minors will be supervised by officers from this division to enforce the Juvenile Court's orders. Minors can be placed on probation in their own homes, or removed and placed in foster homes, group homes, camps, or committed to the California Youth Authority.

The division receives 2500 referrals each year from law enforcement agencies on minors who are accused of committing crimes.

This Division also operates a Juvenile work Project which allows juvenile offenders to work eight hours or more under the supervision of the Probation Department. Typical work tasks for project participants include helping to maintain the landscaping at the county's DeWitt Center, litter pickup, basic gounds-keeping at parks, and other community service projects.
