COMPACT is a law enforcement based task force focused on preventing youth substance misuse, addressing mental wellness, and encouraging digital device safety. We assist families by providing them with up-to-date information and available resources to guide youth back to a substance-free, happy, healthy lifestyle without entering the juvenile justice system.

“On a side note, without this intervention, our son would clearly try cocaine, which will either kill him, or ruin him then kill him, and destroy our family as well.
The work done by this team is critical and life-saving, and I want you to know how much we recognize that and truly appreciate it. Thank you for investing in our son.”

“I’m hoping my testimony will be that both of my twin boys and their friends change their behavior and find another source of entertainment.
After leaving the meeting, my son is planning to talk to his small group of friends and stop all illegal behaviors. He is planning to be the leader and positive influencer for his group. Time will tell. I am grateful for this interaction and a second chance for my son without legal ramifications!”
– Parent after an intervention meeting
“Having this opportunity to get to know these deputies in a smaller group setting, learning ALL that she did from them, and seeing their willingness to just ‘hang out’,
have organic casual conversations with, and actually get in there and have fun WITH the kids really made an impression on her! [My child] struggles with anxiety (particularly with social anxiety and fear of being embarrassed in public), so a figure of authority to any degree stirs up at least some level of vulnerability and anxiety in her, but add a badge and a professional title like “Deputy” or “Officer” to that and she often “redlines”. So when she told me she wanted to do Camp Journey I was surprised that she took that she took the initiative to give ??????? that challenge. Because as her mom, I know her struggles with insecurities, and I see the effects they have on her sometimes, and I knew that spending these 5 days at a camp run by Sheriff’s Deputies was in fact nothing short of a personal challenge for my nervous girl.”
