Juvenile Civil CitationsFlorida statute 985.301 authorizes our agency to

implement a Juvenile Citation Program. The Mon-roe County Sheriff’s Office juvenile programs are covered in chapter 43 of our General Orders. Based on this policy, generally speaking, a deputy should choose the least coercive means to deal with a juve-nile offender. The least coercive enforcement action available to a deputy dealing with certain juvenile crimes is the Juvenile Citation Program.

For a juvenile to be eligible for the program they must have committed a misdemeanor or ordi-nance violation and the circumstances are such that a deputy would be authorized to make a physical arrest. Juvenile citations cannot be used for felony cases or any criminal traffic violations. Juveniles who have received a juvenile citation in the past are not automatically eligible for the program and should be handled through criminal enforcement action. If the eligibility status of the juvenile is not ascertain-able, a citation can be issued. Once assessed by the program coordinator the case will change venue if appropriate.

Completion of a juvenile citation is straightfor-ward, similar to an F.I. card. Signature of a parent/guardian is preferred, but only mandatory if the violation includes the consumption of drugs or al-cohol. If there is concern that drugs or alcohol has been consumed, the parent/guardian will be notified and the child will be detained until they can be re-manded to the parent/guardian. The instructions on the reverse side of the suspect’s copy of the citation (yellow copy) should be explained to the juvenile and their parent if present, before releasing the juvenile. It should also be explained that if the juvenile com-plies with the program, they will not have a criminal

record. If they fail to comply the case will be turned over to the SAO for possible prosecution. On the re-verse side of the agency’s copy (pink copy) is space for victim information. This section should be com-pleted by the deputy prior to submitting the citation to the Sector’s record’s dept. An offense report should be completed and evidence submitted per protocol.

For those who do not have a juvenile citation booklet, the citation forms are available in digital format on the agency’s intranet web page (commonly known as the black page – mcso.net).Pilots highly trained, certified

With the completion of Gary Baginski’s most re-cent annual flight training at Flight Safety Internation-al, the Aviation Division achieved a milestone. Gary completed his helicopter Airline Transport Pilot certifi-cation and now all Trauma Star pilots have this most prestigious rating. Mark Jewell and Park Davis achieved this cer-tification earlier this year.

The Airline Transport Pilot certification involves demon-strating extremely in-depth knowledge of instrument flying, including the Federal Aviation Regulations, Air Traffic Control system, and aircraft loading. Pilots must complete a written test, as well as a practical flight examination under instrument conditions.

Next Weekly Rap Up is Sept. 5th - have a terrific Labor Day holiday weekend!

Weekly Rap Up -

The tolerances for successful completion of the flight exam are extremely small, requiring pilots to maintain airspeed with 5 knots and altitude within 50 feet of assigned throughout the two hour flight, without outside visual reference.

Although not required for our operations, the Air-line Transport Pilot certification represents a major safety advantage for both the medical crews and the citizens of Monroe County. This achievement dem-onstrates our pilot’s commitment to the patients, the medical crews who fly with us and the community we serve.Volunteers help fire victim

A fabulous group of local volunteers stepped up on a moments notice to provide a helping hand to Marathon resident Paige Shirley and her son who lost their home to a recent fire. They removed eight truck loads from the burned boat to a storage unit where Paige will be able to sift through their posses-sions in hopes to salvage some of it. This is what community involvement is all about!

Part of the dive team assisted some local businesses (Postcard Inn & Islamorada Beer Co.) with a clean-up at Whale Harbor sandbar Sat the 16th. We filled two large trash bags in less than two hours. Dep. William Daniels rescued a small octopus from one of the bottles collected, and released it after receiving a couple of bites on the hand.

Labor day historyLabor Day, the first Monday in September, is a

creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of Ameri-can workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.

Through the years the nation gave increas-ing emphasis to Labor Day. The first governmental

recognition came through municipal ordinances passed during 1885 and 1886. From these, a movement developed to secure state legislation. The first state bill was introduced into the New York legislature, but the first to become law was passed by Oregon on February 21, 1887. Other states fol-lowed, and on June 28, 1894, Congress passed an act making the first Monday in September a legal holiday in the District of Columbia and the territo-ries.

Upper Keys road patrol stayed busy all week - not just answering calls, but painting out graffiti, cleaning up trash and returning shopping carts. In one particular instance, Deputy Jean Gonzalez found boxes of yard sale items abandoned alongside the road. He picked all the boxes up and took them to the Salvation Army.

Great job everyone! Way to show your commitment to the community!

Take Stock in Children – Monroe County 241 Trumbo Road, Key West, FL 33040

Take Stock in Children Mentor Fact Sheet

Why Mentor? Mentoring is a powerful avenue to provide positive personal contacts for our “at-risk” youth. Your influence can build a foundation of basic values and challenge students to take responsibility for their actions. They can start to set goals and understand the importance of staying in school. As students begin to realize that someone cares, school absenteeism decreases and academic performance improves.

By building self worth and demonstrating that someone cares, students will have a better chance of staying in school and playing a productive role in the community. As a successful person, you will be able to share your experiences with a student and open a new world of possibilities to them.

Who Can Be A Mentor? Any responsible adult, who is willing to share time on a consistent basis. The mentor will show the student that someone cares about them and wants them to stay in school. You will become a friend and a role model to a student who may not otherwise have an adult to guide their actions and choices, which are critical to their future success.

What Does A Mentor Do? A mentor commits to working with a student at school for a minimum of 1/2 hour a week during the school year. The mentor should maintain a consistent meeting schedule in order to develop and nurture a relationship with the student. During the weekly meetings, the mentor may progress through various discussion topics, help the student set goals, or simply listen. Take Stock in Children is not a tutorial program. We encourage helping the student with some homework, but sometimes the student just needs someone who will listen and provide encouragement.

Where Do I Mentor? All mentoring is done on the school campus, usually in the library, cafeteria, or other commons area of the school. Mentor-student meetings take place ONLY at school and during elective class periods.

When Can I Mentor? Mentoring sessions take place during the school year, during school hours on school grounds. A schedule is arranged between you, your student and his or her Take Stock Success Coach as to when would be the best time for you and your student to meet.

How Does A Mentor Know What To Do? After an initial orientation and training session, you will meet your student at school during a mentor-student gathering. A Take Stock Success Coach will provide guidance and support on site. A mentor handbook provides helpful information and tips to guide you in the mentoring process. Also, the foundation has a web site at www.takestockinchildren.org.

How Does A Mentor Benefit? There is an opportunity for personal growth, developing new skills, and making new friends of all ages. Additional benefits may include the satisfaction of helping children learn, recognition for contributing to the community, and a higher productivity and creativity at work.

How Can I Become A Mentor? When you have decided to make the commitment to work with a Take Stock student, you can complete a Take Stock in Children mentor application. You will attend a scheduled Take Stock Mentor Training session with Take Stock staff and sign a commitment form with the student and a Take Stock Success Coach as to your meeting time and method of communication. You will then be matched with a student who will benefit from your influence.

QUALITIES OF EFFECTIVE MENTORS

*Have a genuine concern for young people * Can empathize with another person’s problems *Respect and accept different points of view * Are patient and good listeners *Respect the right of individuals to make their own choices * See solutions as well as obstacles *Relate well to individuals with different experiences and cultures
