Court Services Unit
Court Services Unit (Intake & Probation)
The Court Services Unit (CSU) provides probation-related services to youth and families involved in the City's Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court (J&DR). The CSU provides intake services for law enforcement officers, school officials, parents, victims, or other individuals who desire to file a complaint against a juvenile for criminal or status offenses committed in the City of Falls Church. When ordered by the J&DR Court, the CSU conducts pre-sentence or child custody investigations. The CSU also provides supervision, counseling, and case management services to youth under court supervision as delinquent or status offenders. Adults involved with the Court for offenses related to domestic violence or child abuse are also supervised through the CSU.
A broad range of services are offered to CSU clients through outside agencies, including substance abuse treatment, anger management classes, individual and family counseling, and home-based counseling services. Clients also receive services from court-sponsored programs such as Probation and Parole Supervision, the Detention Diversion Program, the Post-Dispositional Detention Program, the Shoplifter's Program, Curfew Enforcement Services, the Girls' Outreach Program, the Argus House Boys' Group Home, and the Aurora House Girls' Group Home.
Informal assistance for youth that have problems with truancy, running away, juvenile delinquency, substance abuse, and other issues, is also available through the CSU. Adults experiencing difficulties with domestic violence, City residents seeking a protective order or wishing to file a petition for custody of a child may also contact the CSU for assistance.
