Faulkner County was selected in 2015 to be a pilot county to implement a Validated Risk Assessment known as the SAVRY (Structured Assessment of Violence Risk in Youth). Since the Implementation, Assessment Tools and developing community partnerships we have seen the following results:

57% Reduction in the number of youth detained in jail.
42% Reduction in commitments to DYS.
35% Reduction in Delinquency cases filed in Faulkner County.

Beginning July 1, 2020 all Juvenile Justice Districts within the state will be required to conduct a risk assessment prior to commitment of juveniles to the Division of Youth Services. (Act 189)

2020 - 2021 |  Partnered with local colleges such as UCA and Hendrix and Tech to provide more virtual options for tutoring, mentoring, life skills classes and even theatre classes, in a time when face to face contact with youth is not available.
