The Robert L. Perry Juvenile Justice Center (RLPJC), sanctioned by the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit Court, assumes the role of providing detention, assessment services, and interim care for juveniles deemed in need by court order. The Missouri Juvenile Code, as delineated in Section 211.331, outlines the responsibility of county courts in first and second-class counties to establish detention facilities for children under its purview. It underscores the imperative that such detention centers mirror the nurturing environment of good homes.

At the heart of the RLPJC's mission lies a commitment to upholding the rigorous standards set forth by the Missouri Supreme Court for juvenile detention facilities, alongside the Court Performance Standards established by the 13th Judicial Circuit Court en Banc. Central to this mission are the following guiding principles:

- Facilitating access to justice for juveniles and their families within the juvenile justice system, ensuring their effective participation.
- Upholding a culture where all clients are treated with courtesy, responsiveness, and respect by staff members.
- Timely completion of court reports and responsiveness to information requests.
- Agility in adapting to changes in laws, policies, and procedures, integrating them promptly into center operations.
- Ensuring alignment of facility procedures with pertinent laws, rules, and policies.
- Diligent enforcement of court orders of juveniles under facility placement.
- Maintaining accurate and comprehensive records.
- Commitment to fair employment practices and institutional integrity.
- Striving to enhance public trust and confidence through consistent fairness, efficiency, and accountability.

By adhering to these core principles, the Robert L. Perry Juvenile Justice Center endeavors to fulfill its mandate with unwavering dedication and integrity, fostering an environment conducive to the welfare and rehabilitation of juveniles under its care.
