Overview

JCMS is a comprehensive, web-based technology solution that creates a robust juvenile justice information and case management system for the common data collection, reporting and management needs of local juvenile probation departments in Texas. JCMS provides enhanced productivity tools and data sharing capabilities; strong security and data integrity; and built-in interfaces with other entities involved in the juvenile justice system. JCMS provides timely and complete information on juvenile offenders to local juvenile probation departments, prosecutors, judges, treatment professionals and TJJD staff to encourage accurate and appropriate disposition and rehabilitative decisions. JCMS was developed as a collaborative effort between the Texas Juvenile Justice Department, the Texas Conference of Urban Counties and several local juvenile probation departments. The goal of JCMS is to ensure that all professionals in the juvenile justice system with a ‘need to know’ have access to thorough and complete information on a juvenile offender.
