The Racine County Intensive Non-Secure Supervision Program has three components which are characterized by the intensity of contacts with the juvenile and his/her family and the geographic restrictions placed upon the youth by the Juvenile Court. The two most restrictive components include Correctional Aftercare and Non-Secure Detention while the Intensive Supervision component allows the juvenile more community contact. Intensive Supervision, however, may last the entirety of the court order.
GPS monitoring may also be a part of any component of the Intensive Non-Secure Supervision Program if authorized by the case manager or ordered by the Juvenile Court.
Supervision workers monitor a youth's compliance with the court order at home, school, work and in the community. Services are provided through a combination of the following:
- Regular face-to-face (announced and unannounced visits) with the youth, the youth’s caregiver, school, employer, etc. These face-to-face contacts may be daily; the case manager will determine the frequency.
- Frequent telephone calls to and from the youth and the youth’s caregiver, school, employer, etc., to discuss progress, reinforce positive behaviors and address problems.
- School monitoring including attendance checks, grade/academic progress reports and consultations with teachers, school counselors/social workers and principals. If employed, similar checks are made with a youth's employer.
- Monitoring youth in the community involves monitoring the juvenile's approved free time activities and ensuring that youth are not involved in non-approved activities (some youth must call before leaving and after arriving at every location).
This service is provided under order of the Juvenile Court. The juvenile’s cooperation and compliance with the Juvenile Court Order is subject to review by all parties and may result in a decrease in supervision or a referral for more restrictive services.
