OFEi.0 i City of Elgin Agenda Item No. R'1TCD vt$ May 1, 2000 TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: Joyce A. Parker, City Manager SUBJECT: Cooperative Service Agreement with the Community Crisis Center for Safe Summer Curfew Program PURPOSE The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and members of the City Council information to consider entering into a Cooperative Service Agreement for services with the Community Crisis Center for the Safe Summer Curfew Program. BACKGROUND A Safe Summer Curfew Program has been established to provide a cooperative law enforcement and social service response to juveniles for violating the Curfew Ordinance. The Community Crisis Center provides 24-hour, 7 days per week drop off assistance. A caseworker assigned to meet with the juvenile and family will assess the circumstances and make referrals to appropriate agencies, (i . e. , drug or alcohol abuse, physical abuse, family counseling) . In 1998 and 1999, monies were expended by the City of Elgin Police Department for assistance from the Community Crisis Center. During the summer of 1999, 56 minors and their families were seen at the Community Crisis Center as part of the curfew intervention program. The overall evaluation of the program from parents/guardians was that it was helpful and supportive to speak with a Crisis Center counselor. ' There was both surprise and appreciation that the "police cared so much." In addition to curfew, the assistance also opened communication with those families on other issues as well . The Safe Summer Curfew Program provides an efficient response to the community and important interventions with youth-at-risk, which may otherwise not occur.
