Juvenile Assessment Center (JAC)

The Sarasota JAC provides a single point of entry and a consistent, coordinated response to juveniles who commit crimes in Sarasota County.  The JAC offers a secure place for law enforcement  to bring youthful offenders who may have otherwise been released directly to their parents without the benefit of being taken into secure custody and introduced to meaningful intervention for their problems within hours of their arrest.

The JAC is the central intake and booking point for Sarasota County youth who have been arrested and taken into physical custody on charges ranging from petty offenses to serious felonies. Immediately after the juvenile’s arrest, JAC assessors complete a psychosocial assessment and urinalysis test . The JAC also provides a central point to gather information about juvenile crime in the community.

The JAC operates 24 hours per day, seven days a week.
