What an honor! ?? The Juvenile Detention Center, operated by the Johnson County Department of Corrections, has received the 2024 Barbara Allen-Hagen Award from the Center for Improving Youth Justice. ?? The center was selected for its innovative efforts to involve families in the reintegration process of their children, notably its response to challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. “This award reflects our efforts to better serve those in detention and their families, and the impact on our youth goes beyond detention. Our Community Connection events help them strengthen their family relationships, which are key to their successful return to the community,” said Jodi Taylor, deputy director of the Juvenile Services Center.

“I believe the AI survey's results highlight the innovative spirit within Johnson County Government.” - Bill Nixon, Director of the Department of Technology and Innovation (DTI) Johnson County is at the forefront of the AI revolution. To harness the potential of this transformative technology while mitigating risks, we recently established the Johnson County AI Committee. This dedicated group is actively monitoring the latest AI advancements and developing policies to guide responsible usage within our county. To better understand employee needs and preferences, the committee initiated a survey to assess current AI tool adoption and interest. The gathered insights will inform the development of comprehensive education and guidelines for safe and effective AI implementation across all departments. Johnson County is committed to a future where AI enhances services, improves efficiency and benefits our community.
