The Juvenile Offender Drug Intervention (J.O.D.I.) project aims to: (1) reshape police response to youth drug-related issues by providing a simple and effective procedure and a user friendly resource package offering the first steps toward reform for the juvenile and the initial education of the parent; (2) familiarize police with the format and process so they will use a set procedure in all instances; (3) redefine the police role by empowering adults to take responsibility for the action and drug education of the youth in their care; (4) effectively use current publications to educate community members and have this resource available to police officers so that service delivery will be professional, accurate, and expedient; and (5) conduct an independent evaluation and publish results and recommendations. The paper judges the project a success in the test area because, of the 11 young people who had previous convictions prior to receiving a J.O.D.I. package, only five re-offended, and only one of the remaining youths again came to police attention. There are insufficient data to indicate whether the program would be successful on a larger scale. Tables
