Chargeable Offenses
The Oklahoma County Juvenile Detention Center will do everything possible to prevent crimes in Detention. If it appears a resident may have committed a serious crime in Detention, the Facility Administrator will make a referral to law enforcement who will inquire into the incident. The District Attorney’s office may decide to file a delinquency petition.
Criteria
Any violation that would be a crime if an adult did it could be the reason to file a delinquency petition on a Detention resident. Detention’s policy is to give Intake and the District Attorney’s office only those which are very serious and seem to have enough evidence to prove a crime has been committed. Some of the reasons for charges being filed include assault, and battery, escape or attempted escape, rioting or inciting others to riot, and destruction of County property.
