The Kentucky Department of Juvenile Justice has created boards and councils to establish delinquency prevention programming at the local level, provide recommendations to officials in relation to improving Kentucky's juvenile justice system, and provide oversight of federal and state juvenile justice grant funding. The Department of Juvenile Justice was authorized to form local juvenile delinquency prevention councils under HB455. The Department established eight local delinquency prevention councils for the purpose of facilitating interagency cooperation and collaboration in providing local juvenile delinquency prevention programming.
