Serving the Western Tidewater cities of Suffolk and Franklin and the counties of Isle of Wight and Southampton, the Fifth District Court Service Unit provides all code of Virginia mandated services to include intake, investigations, and probation and parole supervision. VJCCCA services are purchased from a sole-source vendor, the Tidewater Youth Services Commission. Personnel in the unit actively participate in local community initiatives, to include Family Assessment and Planning Teams and Community Policy and Management Teams, and follow modern day ‘Best Practices’ in providing supervision and services that are aimed at reducing recidivism among juvenile offenders.
