AFTER HOURS ALTERNATIVE LOCKUP PROGRAM
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
The After Hours Program is available to take police
department referrals from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 a.m. on weekdays and 24 hours on the weekends.
(Please note: Referrals to the program between the hours of 4:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. can be
made by contacting the program coordinator at (508) 849-5600 ext 215.)
The After Hours On-Call Social Worker will assess status
offenders and non-violent delinquents at the police station, transport them to a placement
resource and transport the juvenile to court the following business day. If, for some
reason, the juvenile is inappropriate for placement with the After Hours Program, the
social worker will refer the officer to an appropriate resource.
HOW TO REFER
To make a referral to the program after 5:00 p.m. please
call:
1-800-435-9990
The call will be answered by a Crisis Center operator who will
page the on-call social worker.
The on-call social worker will return your call, gather some
basic information and let you know the arrival time to your station.
During regular business hours, you may contact Deb Spangler directly at (508) 849-5600 ext. 215.
