Juvenile justice software for juvenile probation and supervision

Your Challenges

Youth require different tools than adults. Current supervision technology wasn't built with developmental sensitivity in mind.

Age-Appropriate Engagement

Adult supervision tools don't resonate with youth. Engagement drops when technology feels punitive.

Family Communication Gaps

Parents and guardians need to stay informed. Most systems don't support family involvement.

School & Program Integration

Tracking school attendance, program participation, and community service across multiple sources.

Developmental Sensitivity

Youth are not small adults. Supervision tools need to account for brain development and trauma.

What juvenile justice supervision software has to do

A juvenile probation caseload is not an adult caseload with younger people on it. School hours, parents, rides, and a court that expects the least restrictive option that works.

Supervision that fits a school day

Check-ins with a photo and location, curfew windows the officer can verify without a surveillance officer, and video contacts that keep a youth in class instead of in a waiting room. In rural Kansas, a youth comes in once for a drug test and does the next check-in by video so a 45-minute drive with no ride does not become a violation. Court date and appointment reminders go to the youth, and where the department chooses, to a parent.

Records that hold up with the court and the state

Every contact, message, check-in, and location result is time-stamped on the youth's record. Visit Assist turns a recorded contact into the note, so the case file is built from what happened. A chief juvenile probation officer in Texas answered a state audit finding on case-note quality with recordings she already had. A Kansas juvenile services director asked to produce recordings for a statewide quality review already had every one.

Less restriction, backed by data

When an officer can see what a youth is doing day to day, the community becomes a defensible recommendation. A judge in one Alabama county now orders RePath as a condition of supervision, and the chief juvenile officer wrote a report recommending it over detention. Across more than 2,200 case closures since 2023, one state juvenile justice agency closed 90.7% successfully. RePath works alongside the juvenile case management system you already run.

How juvenile probation departments use RePath

Juvenile departments don't buy RePath to monitor kids. They buy it because they have seven jobs they already have to do, and each one is harder than it should be. Here is what changes.

The state asks for proof of practice quality, and you already have it

Every juvenile department gets reviewed. Case-note audits, quality-assurance rounds, a supervisor asked to produce recordings of staff visits. Three agencies in three states, none of them sold on this basis, have now answered an outside reviewer with Visit Assist recordings and narratives they already had. A chief juvenile probation officer in Texas got a state audit finding on case-note quality and answered it with the recordings. A juvenile probation director in Kansas was told to submit recordings of staff visits for a statewide QA review and realized she already had every one. Kansas officers now send the recording itself to the state instead of writing a chrono and then having the chrono checked. Behind that sits the time: an Oregon juvenile officer went from 30 minutes of documentation per meeting to about five. One state juvenile justice agency got back more than 1,600 hours on case notes in a single year. And the recording protects the officer too. When a check-in about violations turned into he-said, she-said, one Kansas officer had every word.

Kids stay in the community instead of a facility, and the data is what makes that defensible

Without a way to see what a youth does day to day, the safe institutional choice is the restrictive one. In one Kansas district, when the county attorney asked an officer for a recommendation on a youth facing prison, she said community corrections, because she could verify what he'd been doing every day. "He gets a second chance at life." The best-performing site in one state's juvenile pilot put 47 youth on location tracking instead of in a facility and averaged 85% compliance against a 70% baseline. In one Alabama county, the judge began ordering RePath as a condition of supervision and the chief juvenile officer wrote a report recommending it over detention. Better visibility produced less restriction, not more.

You get curfew and location verification without surveillance officers

Most juvenile programs have no one to check a curfew. A Kansas youth services director: "We get no surveillance officers for youth programs, so we have no way to verify curfews. RePath fills this gap." It also holds up against hardware. A Texas youth on both an ankle monitor and RePath had the monitor report a violation; RePath showed where he actually was, and the judge compared the two in open court. A South Texas department caught a youth moving at 2 a.m. that the family's own phone tracker never flagged, and found another who turned his location off through the location data of the youth he was with. How location works on the phone.

Kids who won't pick up the phone will answer a chat

One Kansas intensive supervision officer said if the app did nothing else, the chat alone would be worth it, because "these kids will not pick up their phone, but they will respond through RePath chat." A youth disclosed a crime through chat that nobody could have proven, because it was easier than saying it to her face. Another sent suicidal thoughts through chat and had resources the same day. An Oregon officer moved about 70% of her texting with youth into monitored chat, off personal phones and into a record. Court reminders ride the same channel: zero failures to appear across the 16 hearings in that state's juvenile pilot, and a state juvenile agency's director reports no youth on RePath has missed a court date.

Video keeps contacts happening across distance and keeps kids in class

Louisiana's director stopped her officers driving an hour each way, and video contacts meant kids weren't pulled out of school for a check-in. In rural Kansas, a youth comes in once for a drug test and does the next check-in by video so a 45-minute drive with no ride doesn't become a violation. One officer supervised a youth on bond from three hours away, verified he was at therapy, and because she could prove his compliance he was allowed to apply for diversion.

Impairment risk finds what nobody was looking for

A drug test only happens when an officer already has a reason. In a Missouri circuit, Impairment Risk flagged a youth nobody suspected. The test showed exposure, not use. Two weeks later an explosion at the house revealed meth on the premises. He'd been living in it. It ended in a child welfare referral, not a violation. Same circuit, a different officer started testing whenever the flag went high. Every test came back positive.

Coaching turns practice quality from a training day into a daily habit

Kansas's deputy secretary called Officer Coach "a solution for quality assurance, evidence-based practices, and recouping time for staff." A Kansas juvenile officer applied one coaching tip, opening the meeting by stating its purpose, and watched her client's shoulders relax. Walking him out she asked if the heads-up helped. He said, "I liked that." RePath Intelligence.

And officers actually use it

When Louisiana's director set the expectation by memo and RePath trained every office in person, the agency enrolled 1,445 youth in one month and officer activity rose in eight of ten offices. One state juvenile services agency has 855 youth on RePath statewide, growing about 27 a month, with officers getting back 204 hours in a single month. More than 80% of one juvenile caseload in that state is enrolled, and families bought phones so their kid could take part. One four-county rural district's officers produced 252 visit summaries in a month. And a Kansas officer who used to go home and lie down from the stress now says her work mind shuts off and she just focuses on life.

One Alabama juvenile program put all 17 of its monitored youth on RePath and reported no violations since the program started. Across Kansas, Louisiana, Texas, Missouri, Alabama, and Oregon, named juvenile customers sit in more than twenty separate departments, from statewide agencies to four-county rural districts. Better supervision, less restriction, and the time to do it.

What juvenile probation officers say

"If you used this app for absolutely nothing else, the chat feature alone is worth every penny. These kids will not pick up their phone, but they will respond through RePath chat."

"We get no surveillance officers for youth programs, so we have no way to verify curfews. RePath fills this gap."

"Do not take this app off my phone, I want to cover my own butt."

"The coaching feedback is brilliant. It's giving us the sorely needed data we've been lacking."

"First impression I LOVE it to the point where I am signing every kid on RePath just to make it easier for me to take notes. The narrative is on point."

"The very first kid we had on IR was a kid we did not suspect was using... that really got us to be at the heart of the issue with this case."

Tools that power juvenile justice supervision

Questions we get about juvenile justice software

What does juvenile justice software do for a juvenile probation department?

It runs the supervision between contacts on the phone the youth already carries: check-ins, curfew and location verification, chat and video, court reminders, impairment risk, and visit documentation, on one record the court and the state can review. RePath does that for juvenile probation, juvenile intensive supervision, and state juvenile justice agencies.

Can a juvenile court order RePath as a condition of supervision?

Yes. In one Alabama county the judge orders it as a condition of supervision, and the chief juvenile officer recommended it over detention. Officers enroll the youth on their own phone, and families without a phone can use email-only reporting.

Does RePath replace our juvenile case management system?

No. RePath is not a case management system. It runs the supervision and hands the documentation back. Most departments copy the Visit Assist summary into their CMS; where a connection exists, case data flows in on its own.

Is this surveillance of kids?

Officers and the youth themselves describe it differently. A youth told his officer: "Do not take this app off my phone, I want to cover my own butt." In one Kansas district, the data an officer could see is why she recommended community corrections over prison. Better visibility has produced less restriction, not more.

What if a youth's family does not have a phone?

In one district of that state, more than 80% of the caseload is enrolled and some families bought phones specifically so their kid could take part. For anyone without a smartphone, agencies run email-only reporting.

How does Visit Assist handle a recording with a minor?

The officer stays the author of every note and controls when the recording runs. Agencies set the consent practice for their jurisdiction, and the recordings have been used to answer state audits and QA reviews in Texas and Kansas.
