JPD accesses a wide variety of programs for justice-involved youth. Programs include substance abuse treatment, mental health treatment, community service, case management, diversion, employment, education, anger management, and detention alternatives.
There are several ways youth can be referred to programs in San Francisco. These include self-referrals, referrals by another agency, or by their probation officer. The data in this section includes only referrals to San Francisco programs that JPD is aware of. It does not reflect the full array of programs that youth may be connected to.
The percentage of youth active in programs increased to a peak of 70% of youth in late 2021. It began to decrease as the number of youth on active caseload increased in 2022.
The largest percentage of program referrals has been to diversion programs. Over three-quarters of all programs terminated successfully.
