- Improve the juvenile justice system's intake process of chronic, serious, and violent juvenile offenders.
- Create a single point of entry for children in, or at risk of entering the juvenile justice system.
- Provide access to an immediate and comprehensive risk assessment in a community-based setting for youth brought to the center.
- Develop an information system that shares relevant case management data between governmental agencies.
- Provide an effective and efficient integrated case management system that features treatment plans, referrals, the monitoring of service deliveries and reassessment.
- Introduce graduated sanctions and treatment alternatives that include prevention, immediate intervention, immediate sanctions and community-based corrections.
