What could show up in my juvenile record?

Your juvenile record is made up of all documents, exhibits, judge’s rulings, orders, and reports associated with any trouble you got into before you turned 18. These are mostly contained in your juvenile court file, but may also be kept by other agencies such as the Department of Justice (DOJ), the county Probation Department, police, sheriff, or other law enforcement agencies, and the District Attorney.[3229] Your record also includes any documents or records made by these other agencies.
