Introduction to Idaho Juvenile Offender
System (IJOS)
Idaho Juvenile Offender System (IJOS) is a statewide tracking system created by the Idaho Department of Juvenile Corrections, as required by legislative mandate in
the Juvenile Corrections Act of 1995. The goal is to reduce duplication and better track juvenile offenders in Idaho by allowing Juvenile Justice Staff (stakeholders) an application to access and share common information. The System, free of charge and supported by the Idaho Department of Juvenile Corrections, provides an automatic back up of information. Even if your computer crashes, IJOS can be reloaded and all information will be available for continued use. It supports juvenile probation and detention compliance with annual audits and the data is very helpful when applying for grants. Please enjoy the PowerPoint introduction to IJOS.

Capitol Mall Classes Update There has been a lot of turnover the last few months with agencies moving out of the Capitol Mall and employees leaving state employment. So even if you get on a waiting list, you may be able to participate in one of these
classes sooner than you think. [POC = Point of Contact]
***Housekeeping items - Capitol Mall Group Fitness is not a gym, but instead a room for groups to meet and participate in fitness related
classes. Restrooms are located near the fitness room, but no showers or lockers are provided. Please be considerate of others using the re-
strooms, and store any personal items or clothing on the coat rack provided in the Capitol Mall Group Fitness room. The participant/instructor
may elect to bring in weights or other equipment for use during this class, but the State does not provide or purchase this equipment. For
health and safety reasons, participants are responsible for wiping down any instructor-provided equipment after each use and cleaning up after
themselves so that the room is ready for the next class. As space in each class is limited, you must be registered to attend. Participants must
sign a waiver and return it to Jennifer Pike.
