DESCRIPTION

The East Granby Juvenile Review Board (JRB) is made up of 11 members appointed by the Board of Selectmen. The JRB consists of Youth Services Commission members, law enforcement, school officials, court personnel, and community members.

PURPOSE

Some youth behaviors that used to be handled by Juvenile Court are no longer within its jurisdiction. Understanding that punishment alone doesn’t always address the root causes of these behaviors, the State of Connecticut now directs families to community-based organizations. These organizations aim to prevent further involvement with the court system.

The East Granby Juvenile Review Board offers a community-based program to help divert eligible cases from the Juvenile Justice System. We support families by addressing their service needs and providing intervention locally.

The Board meets quarterly for education and training to better support our youth. Family hearings are held on a case-by-case basis.
