Resident Safety

The Florida Parishes Juvenile Detention Center is committed to ensuring the safety and security of our residents, our staff, and the community we serve. The Center maintains policies and procedures that prohibit all forms of illegal or unethical conduct and include procedures reporting and investigating of any such claims.

In most circumstances, concerns or complaints may be addressed to our staff or the Shift Supervisor on duty. If an issue remains unresolved, our staff will bring the issue to management. At this level, all concerns or complaints reported are thoroughly addressed and the vast majority are resolved in a satisfactory manner. However, if an individual still feels their concern or complaint has not been fully resolved, they are instructed on the process of filing a grievance with the Executive Director. A grievance is a formal complaint or report made to the Executive Director of the Florida Parishes Juvenile Detention Center or his appointed designee from the directorship level of management. There is no requirement that must be met before a formal grievance may be filed. Florida Parishes Juvenile Detention Center will accept general grievances from the parents and/or guardians of current or past residents.
