LIMA, OH (WLIO) - Training is critical for any profession, and it's no different for the juvenile justice system.

It was the annual Community for Kids Breakfast hosted by the Allen County Department of Children Services. Juvenile Judge Todd Kohlrieser was the keynote speaker and was asked to inspire those attending. A big task he says as we spend many of our days seeing the worst in people. He asked everyone to do three things each day that he says can make a difference.

The Allen County Commissioners were able to see firsthand how the Juvenile & Probate Court systems have utilized new space added to their facility. The detention part of the facility was removed a couple of years ago, and since then, that area of the courts has been vacant. The area has now been utilized with the increased workload. The holding areas and cells have been converted to offices as well as storage space for the county.

17-year-old Jordan Daniel was sentenced to serve time at the Ohio Department of Youth Services up until he reaches the age of 21. Daniel was also sentenced as an adult to a term of 20 years to life, but that term will be stayed pending a motion to impose.

The Lima Rotary Club heard more about the Juvenile and Probate Courts of Allen County from Judge Todd Kohlrieser. He discussed the different kinds of cases that his courts take care of, as well as ways that members of the Rotary Club can get involved and help out.

Todd Kohlrieser served as a Magistrate in the court for seven years before becoming the Chief Magistrate in 2015. Now, he has taken an oath of office to become the new Judge. He says his biggest motivators have been his teachers. Most notably, Judge Glenn Derryberry, who he will be replacing following his retirement. During his time as Judge, Kohlrieser hopes to continue the programs and work his predecessors have done, but to also create some of his own.

Allen County will be seeing a different face on the bench in juvenile and probate court come 2021. Democrat Judge Glenn Derryberry has decided not to run for another term on the bench. He's been juvenile and probate court judge since 2007. Prior to that, he served as a magistrate for 18 years. Simply put, Derryberry says he doesn't want to be working at 75 years old when the next six-year term would end. He and his wife will look to do some relaxing and visiting children in Orlando and Boston. Derryberry does expect to keep busy in some way, but no plans have been set yet.
