33rd & 424th Judicial District & Gillespie County Juvenile Probation Department
Gillespie County Juvenile Probation is comprised of dedicated staff to help the youth of Gillespie County through service to the Juvenile Court. Certified Juvenile Probation Officers (JPOs) must fulfill many tasks including supervising, advising, referring and detaining youth in need of services.
Close relationships with parents, schools, law enforcement, attorneys and other agencies and service providers are crucial. Referrals of youth to special programs, such as educational assistance, drug and alcohol education classes, intensive substance abuse classes, parenting classes, private counseling, community service programs, mental health services and GED classes provide opportunities that otherwise may not be available to them.
