SDCL § 26-8E-6: Sanctions grid--Documentation for sanction or incentive.

A court services officer shall respond to a violation through the application of the sanctions grid by utilizing the appropriate cells based on the juvenile probationer's risk level and the type of violation. The imposition of sanctions within a grid cell is vested to the discretion of the supervising court services officer. A court services officer may deviate up or down from the cell with supervisor approval. Not all responses in each grid may be appropriate for all violations or for all juvenile probationers. Graduated responses may be used individually or in combination and include formal and informal responses to probation violations. The imposition of any sanction or incentive shall be documented by the court services officer.
