In juvenile justice, ACS oversees detention, placement and programs for youth in the community.

The Division of Youth and Family Justice (DYFJ) provides a wide range of services and programs for youth at every stage of the juvenile justice process. Our goals are to (a) build stronger and safer communities and advance public safety by preventing juveniles from entering the New York City's juvenile justice system, (b) provide therapeutic treatment and services to youth in our custodial care, and (c) help juveniles access the tools they need to leave the justice system for good. We strive to help families and young people by providing supportive services that are responsive to the needs of individual youth and families.

Work with the Division of Policy, Planning and Measurement (DPPM) to identify corrective action plans, and heighten monitoring of programming in the facilities. Collaborate with the Case Management team and agency staff to identify programs available for youth in the facility and community (aftercare).
