Juvenile Unit

The Juvenile Detective of the Plymouth Township Police Department is charged with the investigation of juvenile-related crimes, including status offenses (underage drinking and runaways) and crimes against children.

The Juvenile Detective uses a unique and multi-faceted approach in educating and rehabilitating juvenile offenders.

The Juvenile Unit works closely with the Community Policing Unit to provide education to area children through school-based activities and community programs.

Additionally, the Juvenile Detective continually reviews incidents to determine if a juvenile offender is an appropriate candidate for diversion into the Montgomery County Youth Aid Panel Program.  This program is a pre-arrest program available for some juvenile offenders.
