• Kristen Haroian

• Joseph Marocco

• Judith Abate

The Juvenile Hearing Board is chartered to meet no less than once monthly. Juvenile

offenders, and their families, are generally notified well in advance of their hearing so

that they may prepare accordingly. The notice advises the nature of the offense, the

time and place of the hearing, and the offender's right to be represented by counsel at

the offender's expense. The hearings are closed to the public. The JHB oversaw a total

of 54 cases in 2022.
