The Florida Department of Juvenile Justice has posted two revised policies and one new policy for review and comment on MyFlorida.com at: http://www.djj.state.fl.us/policies_ procedures/policyreview.html. Settlement Agreement (FDJJ 1410 - revised, department-wide policy type B) establishes that it is the policy of the Department of Juvenile Justice that settlement agreements of all accounts, claims and demands against the Department are established, managed and controlled in accordance with State law. Youth Personal Property Care and Disposition Policy (FDJJ 4000 - revised, department-wide policy type A) recognizes the need by the Department of Juvenile Justice to safeguard the personal property of youth brought into its care and establishes procedures contained in this policy for staff to follow when required to receive, manage, transport, control, or dispose of youth’s personal property. Additionally, this policy establishes the manner by which staff shall provide control and accountability of youth’s personal property.

Mobile Devices (FDJJ 1230 – new, department-wide policy type B) addresses the fact that the use of mobile computing and storage devices poses increased risks to the devices themselves, the information they contain and to all Department of Juvenile Justice Information Technology Resources. The confidentiality, integrity, and availability of those resources must be protected. Appropriate security controls must be in place to mitigate security risks presented by the use of mobile devices. Each of these policies is posted for a single 20 working day review and comment period, with the closure date for submission of comments on each policy of January 16, 2007. Responses to comments received will be posted during the review period to the extent possible, but no later than 10 working days after the end of the review period on the above Website.
