BOULDER COUNTY HAS A POPULATION IN EXCESS OF 130,000; ABOUT HALF THAT NUMBER LIVE IN THE CITY OF BOULDER. THIS REPORT, DATED JUNE 27, 1972, NOTES THAT THE TWO LARGEST LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES IN THE COUNTY - THE BOULDER POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THE BOULDER COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT - DO NOT HAVE ANY FULL-TIME JUVENILE OFFICERS AND REFER PRACTICALLY ALL OFFENDERS TO THE JUVENILE COURT. MANY RESOURCES FOR JUVENILES AND JUVENILE OFFENDERS WERE FOUND IN BOULDER COUNTY; HOWEVER, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT SOME MEANS TO PROVIDE MORE SPECIALIZED POLICE RELATIONS WITH YOUTH AND DIVERSION OF SELECTED CASES TO COMMUNITY RESOURCES WAS NECESSARY. THE CONSULTANT STATES THAT SUBMISSION OF A GRANT PROPOSAL TO THE COLORADO CRIMINAL JUSTICE PLANNING COUNCIL WOULD BE THE MOST APPROPRIATE STEP IN FULFILLING THESE NEEDS. THIS REPORT CONTAINS A SERIES OF APPENDED RECOMMENDATIONS ON JUVENILE OFFICER PROGRAMMING WHICH COULD BE INCORPORATED IN A GRANT PROPOSAL. RECOMMENDATIONS COVER SUCH AREAS AS FUNDING, DUTIES OF THE JUVENILE OFFICERS, SELECTION OF THE JUVENILE OFFICERS, AND RELATIONS OF THE JUVENILE OFFICERS WITH THE COMMUNITY AND COMMUNITY RESOURCES.
