in establishing youth programs, and is conducting educational programs
concerning criminal justice in the schools and community. He works
closely with the Department of Health & Rehabilitation Service intake
counselors and youth probation officers. Files are being maintained
on each child with whom he comes in contact, and the officer will be
available to parents for consultation concerning juvenile crime.
