COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT
FOR THE OPERATION OF THE
PALM BEACH JUVENILE ASSESSMENT CENTER
In Accordance with F.S. 985
This agreement is required by legislation for Juvenile Assessment Centers to
continue to receive funding under specific appropriation. The purpose of this
agreement is to establish that each law enforcement agency in District IX, Palm
Beach County, will support the operation of the Palm Beach Juvenile Assessment
Center. Therefore, we the undersigned, consistent with this legislation, agree to
support the operation of the Palm Beach Juvenile Assessment Center.
Florida Statute 985 provides that a law enforcement officer taking juveniles into
custody for a law violation may transport the individual to a juvenile assessment
center equipped and staffed to assume custody of the juvenile for the purpose of
assessing their needs, detention screening and intake. The assessment center will
serve as the central intake and screening facility, for juveniles referred to the
Department of Juvenile Justice for law violations, in Palm Beach County.
Additionally, law enforcement will make diligent effort to notify the parent, guardian,
or legal custodian 'of any juvenile taken into custody by their agency. For those
juveniles who are suffering from a serious physical condition which requires either
prompt diagnosis or prompt treatment, law enforcement shall deliver the child to a
hospital for necessary evaluation and treatment. If a juvenile appears to be
mentally ill, law enforcement shall take the juvenile to a designated public receiving
facility for examination pursuant to Florida Statutes. If a juvenile appears to be
intoxicated and has threatened, attempted or inflicted harm on their self or others,
or is incapacitated by substance abuse, law enforcement shall deliver the juvenile
to the Addiction Receiving Facility located at the Juvenile Assessment Center.
Law enforcement agencies delivering juveniles to the Assessment Center will also
assist in the care, custody and security of those juveniles until such time as they are
turned over to an intake corrections deputy.
