PREA

Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA)

The Bexar County Juvenile Probation Department has zero tolerance towards all forms of sexual abuse and sexual harassment. The Department will take appropriate actions to prevent, detect, and respond to all forms of sexual abuse and sexual harassment within the Juvenile Detention Center, Krier Center and Mission Road Center. Every allegation of sexual abuse and sexual harassment will be investigated.

The efforts to prevent, detect, and respond to all forms of sexual abuse and sexual harassment apply to the Department, all facilities under the direct control of the Department, and every private facility with which the Department contracts for the confinement of juveniles under the Department’s supervision.
