The Florida Department of Juvenile Justice has posted a revised draft of the existing  Probation and Community Corrections Handbook for review and comment at: http://www. djj.state.fl.us/policies_procedures/manualreview.html (note this is a new web page).  This proposed revision to the existing  Probation and Community Corrections Handbook is designed to assist probation staff (state and provider) in complying with juvenile laws and procedures, enhance public safety and provide quality services to youth and their families that come into  contact with the Department of Juvenile Justice via an arrest of the youth, or through some other referral process.  The purpose of the manual is to articulate the department’s policy regarding services provided to those youth and to ensure implementation of the policy contained therein.  This revision to the existing handbook is being posted for a 20 calendar day review and comment period from the date of publication of this notice in the Florida Administrative  Weekly. The closure date for submission of comments on this handbook is July 7, 2006. PLEASE NOTE: Comments should be directed only to the underline and strike-through portions of the handbook as these changes were made after the initial approval of the document.  Comments should be sent to the person identified on the above Webwsite.
