If a town has both adult and juvenile police departments, in different sections of, or separate buildings, should it be given one or two feature icons? When I call police departments to verify location, should I also ask if they are long‐term juvenile detention facilities? Or if they hold prisoners who have long‐term sentences and are a medium or maximum security facility? |
Thank you for asking the question. If the detention centers are long-term holding facilities and have different names, use a separate icon for each. Short-term facilities are not collected (for instance, county jails), so if you can not find it on the website, then calling might clarify. Keep in mind, we do not require volunteers to make phone calls, but it can be helpful. |
