Sarpy County Juvenile Justice Center
Sarpy County Juvenile Justice Center
Sarpy County opened the doors of its 24,645 square foot Juvenile Justice Center in March, 2003. The facility is a 36-bed, staff-secure housing center for juveniles. The center includes an educational center, youth assessment center, juvenile court suite, visitation area, alternative school, as well as administrative offices. A future component will include a secure youth detention area.
This facility and its programs offer a safe and structured environment for juvenile law offenders who are awaiting court ordered placement and/or court hearing.
The alternative school provides an educational program for those juveniles how have been expelled from school and are currently in the Juvenile Court system, who have been ordered to attend the Sarpy County Educational Program.
Juveniles are screened and assessed for substance abuse, suicide risk, physical and mental health and trauma. Juveniles may be placed on electronic monitoring as a means of supervision to track the juveniles at home, school or work. Juveniles are continually assessed and their progress monitored while in the program.
The Juvenile Justice Center is located at 1303 West 6th Street, Papillion, Nebraska Phone 402-537-7000
