The Department of Juvenile Justice Services serves, supports, protects and empowers the court-involved youth and juvenile victims of Chesterfield County and the city of Colonial Heights.
The department manages a multifaceted network of juvenile-focused programs and facilities, including the Juvenile Detention Home, Adolescent Resource Pathways, the Davis Child Advocacy Center and several community-based programs funded in part through the Virginia Juvenile Community Crime Control Act (VJCCCA).
Chesterfield Adolescent Resource Pathways (CARP) focuses on community-based, collaborative and early-intervention efforts for youth involved in the juvenile court system.
The Davis Child Advocacy Center (CAC) helps children who have experienced trauma from abuse.
The purpose of the Juvenile Detention Home is to provide a safe, secure, and supportive environment for court-involved youth with the goal of promoting individual growth through education and empowerment.
