Created in 1966, the Department of Juvenile
Services is the central coordinating administrative
agency for juvenile investigation, probation, and
after-care services and for State juvenile diagnos-
tic, training, detention, and rehabilitation institu-
tions (Chapter 126, Acts of 1966). It is known as
the Juvenile Services Administration. The Director
is appointed by the Governor upon the recommen-
dation of the Secretary of Health and Mental
Hygiene. The Acting Deputy Director is appointed
by the Director with the approval of the Secretary.

The Administration certifies for operation within
the State the public and private institutions, orga-
nizations, and agencies that deal with the Depart-
ment in the area of juvenile delinquency.

The Administration supervises two State train-
ing schools: Boys' Village of Maryland, and Mary-
land Training School for Boys. It develops and
promulgates regulations, standards of care, and
policies affecting their operation and management.

The Administration also supervises the State's
four Youth Centers for delinquent boys: Backbone
Mountain, Green Ridge, Maple Run, and Savage
Mountain. These Centers were formerly known as
Forestry Camps. Boys who can benefit from such
care are transferred to the Centers from Boys'
Village, Montrose School, and the Maryland
Training School for Boys, and through direct
commitment from various State courts and juris-
dictions.

The Administration supervises intake, probation,
and after-care post-institutional supervision and
counseling staff to all juvenile courts. Probation
and after-care are separate functions. Probation
involves the supervision of youngsters who are
adjudicated delinquent but not institutionalized.
After-care includes the supervision and counseling
of youngsters for a prescribed period of time after
their release from an institution (Code
Health-General Article, Title 6).
