The employees of the Washington County Juvenile Court are divided into three basic sections. These sections are Probation; FINS, and Criminal Intake/Diversion Programs. There is one Lead Juvenile Officer responsible for the front line supervision of each of the three divisions. Like the Juvenile Officers, the Lead Juvenile Officers are responsible for the supervision of juvenile cases and monitoring of juveniles and their families to ensure their compliance with their issued court orders. The Lead Juvenile Officer will work as part of a cohesive team and will be required to assume duties as part of a multi-faceted operation that would address an array of juvenile and family situations both judicial and non-judicial in nature. The position requires decision-making, problem solving, and accurate reporting. The officer will be required to maintain, annotate, and prepare appropriate court documents. This position requires the ability to interact effectively with community care providers, juveniles, and families. The Lead Juvenile Officer has all the regular duties of a Juvenile Officer and is additionally responsible for limited supervisory duties of three to seven subordinate Juvenile Officers. These supervisory duties are enacted at the direction of the Chief Juvenile Probation Officer or the Juvenile Judge, and only directed to the employees of the Lead Juvenile Officer's division. The Lead Juvenile Officer will work in concert with the Juvenile Judge and the Chief Juvenile Probation Officer in the general matters of the Court. The Lead Juvenile Officer will also be responsible for FINS (Family in Need of Services), diversions, and any petitioned case until release by the appropriate authorities.
