The Local Interagency Planning Team Agreement states that all parties involved will establish a partnership and agree to work cooperatively for safer schools, and a safer community.
19 different agencies met here at the Laurens County Court Tuesday. A representative from each agency signed this agreement putting the organization into effect.
InterAgency Co-Chair Tara Rattfield says, "This is really to kick off the interagency team and to start with the new procedures that have been implemented. We're really looking forward to this."
Among the agencies involved are the Department of Juvenile Justice, the Department of Family and Children Services, the Laurens County Sheriff's Department, Dublin Police Department, and County and City Schools.
Dublin Judicial Court Juvenile Judge William L. Tribble says pulling resources together is key.
"If a child needs mental health services for example, the court can make that referral, and get that child services. Then that childs life can be better."
Judge Tribble says he hopes to see changes in the children and families the InterAgency works with.
