| The mission of the Juvenile Justice/Delinquency
Prevention Commission is to advocate and protect the safety and
well-being of dependent and delinquent youth as well as promote
intervention and prevention services and programs in Sonoma County.
Sections 225 through 231 of the California
State Welfare and Institutions Code mandates the existence of a
Juvenile Justice Commission in each county throughout the state.
The Commission consists of from 7 to 15 members
appointed by the presiding judge of the Superior Court with the
approval of the judge of the Juvenile Court. Two of these members
can be youth members between the ages of 14 to 21.
Currently the Sonoma County Juvenile Justice
and Delinquency Prevention Commission consists of 15 members, including
one youth member. Commissioners' professional backgrounds include
therapists, attorneys, social workers, foster parents, parents,
educational experts, law enforcement, and human service administrators.
