West Olive, MI Ottawa County MI Juvenile Detention View
Juvenile Detention values its relationships with detainees and their families, as well as with Judiciary, service staff and internal and external professionals. Smooth coordination of services for detainees is important and requires good communication and cooperation between detention personnel, court staff and community partners. The use of volunteers is paramount in helping youth develop positive relationships with adults and provide productive linkages within the community. Detention staff believes respect and integrity for all parties is necessary in creating a positive working environment. The original Youth Home, which was built in the early 1960's with a capacity of 12 juveniles, was renovated in the mid 1980's, at which time its capacity was increased to 16 beds. By 1989, the tremendous population growth experienced by Ottawa County (which continues unabated) was already straining the resources of both the Court and Youth Home. At that time, Court and Detention administrators contracted with a private consultant, Mike McMillen, to explore the options for expansion.
