Hayes proposes separate juvenile courts for serious and minor offenses
Supervisor James Hayes called for a children's services court within the Juvenile Court system to hear minor cases and abuse or mental illness cases while the Juvenile Court handles only serious crimes like murder and armed robbery. He favors noncriminal rehabilitation for the children's services branch and hearings by commissioners, with possible judge involvement, and seeks changes in state law to align prosecutions and representation across agencies.

Emergency 911 service could reach Long Beach by mid 1977 with a citywide plan, a Public Safety Answering Point in City Hall, and computer routed calls to the correct dispatcher. The system would work from pay phones and require state funding, with police calls forming the majority. The plan, overseen by City Manager John R. Mansell, anticipates coordination with neighboring cities and possible expansion to other services.
