The Delinquency Prevention and Diversion
Services Task Force was established by House Bill 1221 to
convene an array of stakeholders to conduct an assessment
and evaluation of current delinquency prevention and diversion
services in Maryland, to identify best practices that will
better serve Maryland youth, and to prepare a report to
the Governor and General Assembly that will recommend delinquency
and prevention program improvements and funding guidelines.
The Task Force is co-chaired by Delegate Ana Sol Gutierrez
(D - Montgomery County) and Delegate Doyle Niemann (D -
Prince George's County.) The final report is due to the
Governor and the General Assembly on September 1, 2008.
The Task Force will be meeting through the next several
months to complete the evaluation of prevention and diversion
services and to develop final recommendations for service
improvements. The meetings will be held in Annapolis and
are open to the public. Notice of the meetings will be posted
prior to the meeting on the DJS website. The agendas, minutes
and presentations for each meeting can be found below under
the Meetings link.
For further information contact Lauren Gordon, DJS staff
assigned to support the Task Force, at 410-230-3346 or gordonl@djs.state.md.us.
