We know that an arrest can be overwhelming and confusing for both youth and their families. If you are in need of support during this time of crisis, please review the resources below that have been organized to help guide you through the next few days.
In addition, Operation Resurge is here to walk with you. We show up for court hearings, help families understand the legal process, provide encouragement, and advocate for the best possible outcomes. You're not alone—reach out to us if we can support you during this critical time.
The first appearance will be scheduled for the day following the arrest. The time and location will be noted on the paperwork provided by the Magistrate.
* Note: if you miss any court dates including the first appearance you will forfeit your posted bond and you may be charged with Failure to Appear "FTA" with an order for arrest issued.
Court Appointed Attorney
If you qualify for and agree to a court appointed attorney, you will be provided with details on how to reach out to them. You should reach out to them ASAP once you have their contact information.
Retain Legal Counsel
If you choose to retain your own legal counsel you will be responsible for securing this resource.
Represent Yourself
You may also choose to represent yourself.
We respect the importance of privacy & anonymity - both are foundational to every interaction
