The City of Grapevine and other Tarrant County entities have combined and assigned to Tarrant County Juvenile Services (TCJS) their allocated funding. This is the fourth year that the funds have been passed on to TCJS. TCJS, acting through a coalition of public entities and community providers, uses the funding for identification, prosecution, supervision, and treatment of juvenile offenders referred by law enforcement agencies within Tarrant County. Captain Hanley stated that by participating with TCJS, the City of Grapevine 01/07/03 meets the State mandates for submission of juvenile offender fingerprint information instead of the City fingerprinting the juvenile offender and then sending the information to TCJS.
