Paperwork Needed to Make a Teen Court Referral

In order to refer a case, Teen Court needs:

  • A signed copy of the Diversion Agreement
  • A copy of the “960” or Juvenile Profile
  • A copy of the Paper Referral
  • A copy of the Police Report

Teen Court staff will pick up referrals at the Ajo site weekly (a bin is located near the reception area). Probation officers working at other divisions of the Juvenile Court Center can email referrals to teencourt@ywcatucson.org.

Please call anytime with questions
