By CHRISTOPHER TUFFLEY [email protected] AVON PARK — Investigation and evaluation continue in the aftermath of Avon Park Youth Academy’s riot Saturday night. Meghan Speakes Collins, Department of Juvenile Justice’s director of communication, told the News-Sun Thursday morning that the DJJ’s office of inspector general, G4S – the private contractor administering the facility, and the Polk County Sheriff’s Office are still investigating exactly what took place. “The lessons we learn from this incident,” she said, “will be applied across all DJJ programs. It may be possible that once the investigation is complete, DJJ will adjust current policies and/or implement new policies and procedures to ensure what happened Saturday night never happens again.” The department has been adding video survellience at all its facilities, and will do so at APYA. There is no set date at this time.
