(b) In all cases, an effort will be made to verify the address with the youth’s parent or guardian.
(c) All attempts to contact the parent or guardian, and the results of those attempts will be noted in the chronological record in the youth’s case file.

Street address information recorded in the JJIS will be that of the Department of Children and Families or its contracted agency district office or service center for confidentiality purposes.
