Youth Advocacy Program Detective Jorge Armenta, Los Angeles Police Department During 1989, the City of Los Angeles Community Development Department was tasked with the responsibility to develop a master plan to coordinate the efforts of community-based counseling agencies within the City of Los Angeles. In February 1990, the Commanding Officer of the Los Angeles Police Department’s (LAPD) Juvenile Division was asked to participate in the City of Los Angeles Advisory Task Force to coordinate the efforts of developing a diversion/referral program for at-risk youth. The LAPD Juvenile Division began work to unite the existing LAPD Referral Program and the City’s Youth Advocacy Program. The Youth Advocacy Program (YAP) was designed to form an early intervention system which would refer qualifying at-risk youth and their families to referral agencies, offering treatment and counseling programs to them with the goal of reducing criminal activities and hard-core juvenile delinquency. The program was to operate out of the Juvenile Unit of each LAPD Division. Following Department procedures, juvenile investigators may exercise limited discretion on the disposition of juvenile offenders arrested for a criminal charge under the provisions of 602 of the Welfare and Institution Code (WIC). In most cases, the investigator would request a petition to the juvenile courts through the District Attorney’s Office and the Probation Department for the matter to be addressed in court. On occasion, if the offense is minor, the investigator may send the matter to a referral program.
