Teen Court provides an opportunity for first or second time juvenile offenders who commit minor crimes to voluntarily opt out of the Juvenile Services intake process and instead, participate in a court of their peers to receive consequences for their actions. The program is administered collaboratively by the Caroline County Health Department and the Caroline County Sheriff's Department. Both agencies have a strong alliance with the Circuit Court system and are permitted to use the actual court room and jury rooms for processing defendents. Both a Sheriff's Deputy and the Alcohol and Drug Prevention Coordinator co-lead the court sessions, meet with parents, and train the student volunteers who serve as judge, jury, and court officers. Last year, Teen Court saw 94 respondents in Court, had 71 student volunteers assist in the Court proceedings, and held 19 court sessions and 2 training's. More information...Contact Cpl.
