Juvenile Department

The Juvenile Department’s main office is located in Coquille at 240 North Collier Street, directly behind the courthouse.  

The Juvenile Department is committed to promoting the well-being of youth, their families, and the community through the use of effective, evidence-based practices.  Dedicated staff work collaboratively with the youth, families and schools, along with State Courts, and community partners to address risk factors, build strengths, and support positive behavioral change while maintaining accountability.

Juvenile Detention

Detention is an essential component of the juvenile justice system and is used when necessary to protect public safety, support the wellness of the youth, and ensure a juvenile’s appearance at subsequent court hearings. Detention options are short-term and are applied at a level appropriate to the risk posed by the youth.

Coos County currently contracts with Douglas County to provide juvenile detention services. Upon authorization for detention, youth are transported to the Douglas County Juvenile Detention Facility in Roseburg, Oregon, by either Juvenile Department staff or a representative from the Oregon Youth Authority. Detention hearings are typically conducted via video conferencing.

Community Service Work Crew

Youth may be ordered by the Court or the Juvenile Department to complete community service as a means of accountability and skill development. Youth are assigned to approved job sites where they perform work for public or charitable organizations. These work experiences are structured to promote responsibility, pro-social behavior, and positive connections to the community, while contributing to the overall wellness of the youth, their families, and the community.
