JUVENILES: The juvenile code allows information regarding the identity of a juvenile, the offense charged, the adjudication and disposition to be given to a victim or a member of the victim's immediately family at the time the complaint is filed or later. Therefore, an officer who files a delinquency complaint should immediately advise the victim or a member of the victim's immediate family of the juvenile's name and the offense charged. Additional information about the juvenile (residence or school, etc.) should not be given to the victim. Copies of complaints, reports and statements should not be provided to victims or their families.
