Canfield will be responsible for the management of the Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative (JDAI) in Codington County including case management services, the Teen Court program and will provide resources and referrals to youth offenders.  In this collaborative role with numerous community partners, the goal is to objectively identify the least restrictive next step available for youth members and ensure an effective and efficient juvenile justice system.  He will also oversee prevention and behavioral health programs to educate youth and assist with mental health concerns, decision making and critical thinking skills.
