The Montgomery County Juvenile Court will operate on a limited basis from May 21 through May 26.

Eric Shafer, Juvenile Court Administrator, said this will be to reduce the number of people in or near the restricted “NATO village” zone.

The Court Services and Intervention Center will remain open, but the Detention Center will not host any outside groups. Visitations will take place virtually during this time.

Shafer also said the Court departments located outside of downtown Dayton, including the probation department, Nicholas Residential Treatment Center, and Center for Adolescent Services, will not be impacted by the assembly.
