Some members of the Laramie County Juvenile Services Joint Powers Board are opposed to the idea of an outside entity running the county's new youth detention center. They think the Laramie County Sheriff's Department is better equipped to run the facility that is under construction at the Archer Complex east of Cheyenne. The Juvenile Services Joint Powers Board is a 15-member group made up of representatives from law enforcement, the court system, school districts, mental health services, the city and the county. The purpose of the board is to help ensure that troubled youth receive services to get their lives back on track. The Laramie County Commission recently voted to seek proposals from private entities that may be interested in running the new 24-bed juvenile detention center, which may open in April.
