GENERAL PROVISIONS


§ 200.401. Purpose.

 Pennsylvania’s juvenile justice system is mandated to provide programs of supervision, care and rehabilitation which provide balanced attention to the protection of the community, the imposition of accountability for offenses committed and the development of competencies to enable children to become responsible and productive members of the community. The authority of juvenile probation officers to conduct searches of the person and property of children is essential to achieving the community protection and accountability goals of the system. These standards are intended to guide policy and practice relating to searches of the person and property of children by juvenile probation officers.
