1 Steven K. Bordin, Chief Probation Officer Probation Department Summary Mission Statement The mission of the Probation Department is prevention, intervention, education, and suppression service delivery that enhances the future success of those individuals placed on probation, while eliminating continued unlawful behavior of persons granted probation, protecting the community, and facilitating the restoration of victims. Department Description and Key Issues The Probation Department meets statutory and judicial mandates including sentencing reports and programs. The department provides services to rehabilitate adult and juvenile offenders, protects the community, and works collaboratively with other local, State, and federal agencies and resources. Services are provided through court investigations, supervision, participation in collaborative courts, participation in the Butte InterAgency Narcotics Task Force (BINTF), and operations of Juvenile Hall. Court Investigations Service areas include court investigations conducted for both adult and juvenile offenders. Officers assigned to court investigations units investigate offender background, describe the circumstances of the crime and submit recommendations to the court based on risk to the community, willingness to comply with conditions, and pursuant to statute. Supervision The department is currently responsible for providing supervision to 2,625 adult and juvenile offenders who have been granted formal probation by the Court, Mandatory Supervision, and Post Release Community Supervision. Supervision enhances public safety, accountability, and addresses criminogenic needs of the offender, with a goal of reducing the likelihood of future criminal behavior. This is accomplished through evidencebased practices, risk/needs assessments, home visits, probation searches, and collaboration with other law enforcement agencies, schools, Courts, Children s Services, Behavioral Health, Public Health, District Attorney s office, and numerous community based organizations. In 2014, the Probation Department received 1,265 new offenders for supervision. In addition, the department appeared in Butte County Superior Court and represented the probation department at 10,475 adult hearings and 1,320 juvenile matters in addition to providing numerous legal documents for these hearings. These hearings included 1,658 sentencings, 4,134 Treatment Court reviews, and various violations of probation, juvenile court hearings, reviews, modifications, transfers, and other hearings as directed by the Court or by statute. The department provides specialized and intensive supervision to sex offenders, gang members and associates, drug abusers and traffickers, offenders with multiple DUI s, those whose actions have caused injury or death, parties who have committed domestic violence or child endangerment, and persons convicted of other violent offenses, including weapons possession. The department has implemented assessment tools to identify risks and needs of adult and juvenile offenders. Intensive supervision is provided to those who are assessed as high risk to reoffend. The department provides electronic monitoring of juvenile offenders, GPS tracking of high risk sex offenders and as a supervision tool for sex offenders released onto Postrelease Community Supervision. The department continues the supervision of juveniles paroled from the California Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) as a result of realignment by the State. These individuals were originally ordered to DJJ based upon the seriousness of the offense and the risk they presented 208

2 Steven K. Bordin, Chief Probation Officer Probation Department Summary to the community. These minors will continue to require intensive supervision by the department and may require the Juvenile Hall to house these minors pending a reentry court hearing and potentially again should they violate conditions of their release. In October of 2011, the State of California implemented the Criminal Justice Realignment Act (AB 109). The department, in conjunction with the Community Corrections Partnership, developed a cooperative/comprehensive plan for supervising this new population of postrelease offenders previously released to parole supervision. During 2014, the Probation Department received 222 offenders released from prison for local supervision. Additionally, 34 offenders were sentenced to split sentences within Butte County and will also be under the eventual supervision of the Probation Department once their jail sentence is completed. Collaborative Courts The department provides officers and services to the Butte County Superior Court on the therapeutic/treatment calendars. These calendars include Drug Court, Proposition 36, Domestic Violence/Child Endangerment, and the High Intensity DUI Court (H.I.D.E.). In addition, as a result of Proposition 47, the department provides officers and services to the Butte County Superior Court on the newly established Prop 47 Court Calendar. A current challenge for the probation department is to maintain probation officers assigned to the collaborative courts in light of a recent reduction in funding sources. BINTF The department provides one fulltime probation officer to the Task Force, to assist in conducting narcotics investigations throughout the county. The department continues to plan with other members in regard to longterm sustainability. Juvenile Programs The Butte County Probation Department has implemented the Strengthening Families Program. Strengthening Families is a nationally and internationally recognized parent and family strengthening program for highrisk families and regular families. The program is an evidencebased family skills training program and has been found to significantly reduce problem behaviors, delinquency, alcohol, and drug abuse in children. The program has also improved social competencies and school performance. The program is designed to decrease maltreatment of children as parents strengthen the bond with their children and learn effective parenting skills. Juvenile Hall The department operates the Butte County Juvenile Hall with a current rated capacity of 60 beds. In 2014 the probation department established the Butte County Juvenile Camp program (Camp Condor). The program provides youth with the opportunity to reintegrate within their family and community while learning valuable life skills as they transition towards adulthood. The Camp emphasizes education, vocational training, community service work, and counseling to facilitate personal introspection and awareness, development of appropriate peer relationships, educational attainment, focus on healthy lifestyles, and employment/vocational skills development. The need for increased staffing remains and stems from three major areas: Title 15 requirements for staffing within Juvenile Halls; the increased amount of programming that Juvenile Halls administer and supervise to adhere to EvidenceBased Practices; and the increased sophistication and severity of crimes that the detainees have committed. 209

3 Steven K. Bordin, Chief Probation Officer Probation Department Summary The department operates programs inside the facility such as the Minor Adjustments Program as an alternative to group home placement. The Boys and Girls Club continues to operate inside the Juvenile Hall and utilizes a targeted reentry program to assist and track minors released from detention.
