Youth
Services Division
The
Youth Services Division is responsible for investigating
juvenile crimes as well as crimes against juveniles. The
unit has expanded its scope to include the investigation
and prosecution of Internet-related crimes aimed at the
exploitation of juveniles.
In
addition, Youth Services detectives act as the police department's
liaison with the town's Juvenile Review Board. This board
helps juvenile offenders understand the consequences of
their actions and determines the appropriate level of compensation
or community service required to make restitution.
