- Juvenile Detention for court-involved youth who require secure care.

- Advanced House Arrest (AHA) for lower risk court-involved youth who require some supervision in the community.
- Juvenile Justice Intensive Case Management (JJICM) for court-involved youth who need case management assistance in order to prevent secure placement or to reintegrate into the community after a period of secure care.
- Advanced Station House Adjustment (ASHA) which provides a community service program for youth who have committed a Disorderly Person (DP) offense, Petty Disorderly Persons (PDP) offense or who have been charged with an offense in the municipal court; and who have previously participated in a Station House Adjustment; with the goal of discouraging youth from re-offending and progressing further into the juvenile justice system.
