The Juvenile Automated Index (JAI) is operated by the Probation Department as a central juvenile record agency serving law enforcement and other agencies within the Juvenile Justice System in Los Angeles County.
When a juvenile is arrested or is formally handled but not arrested (e.g., missing juvenile who voluntarily returns home, or patrol delivers a juvenile to his home and submits a yellow JIF), the Station/Unit shall enter the pertinent facts into JAI via JDIC.
When a juvenile is to be the subject of a petition request, the information regarding the instant incident and disposition shall be entered into JAI prior to the processing and delivery of the juvenile petition request to the Probation Department.
