The Restitution and Community Service program accepts both delinquent and unruly youth who have been ordered to pay restitution and/or complete community service hours.

The restitution portion of the program helps hold juveniles accountable when they have committed offenses involving property damage or personal injury. Court restitution and community service coordinators work with victims and the Prosecutor’s Office to establish a specific dollar amount for repayment to the victim.

The juvenile is responsible for making payment to the Court. Once restitution is paid in full, the victim is repaid and the juvenile is released from the program. The Court makes every effort to collect restitution in full.

The Court also works with local agencies, churches, schools, and government entities to maintain community service worksites. These sites are arranged by the Community Service Coordinator, and progress reports are submitted to the Court regarding compliance or non-compliance.

Youth referred to this program have completed community service activities such as cleaning city parks, mowing grass, and painting playground equipment.
