SUMMARY:
The Monterey County Probation Department (MCPD) operates a successful Campus Probation Officer program in partnership with the school districts throughout Monterey. The collaboration with Salinas Union High School District (SUHSD) allows MCPD to closely monitor and supervise juvenile probationers and assist with at-risk students within the school system.
DISCUSSION:
The Salinas Union High School District and Monterey County Probation Department provide a coordinated approach, utilizing available resources from both agencies. MCPD shall assign eight Deputy Probation Officers (DPOs) and one Probation Aide (PA) to schools sites within the district to closely monitor and supervise juvenile probationers attending specified schools, and to develop and operate a spectrum of intervention/diversion programs designed to improve behavior in the community, home and school, and prevent further entry into the juvenile justice system.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
The MOU has been approved by County Counsel as to legal form and by the Auditor-Controller as to fiscal terms.
FINANCING:
SUHSD will reimburse MCPD a total of $580,562, a portion of the budget for the staffing and operating costs of the programs. Funding is already contained in the approved budget for Department PRO001, Unit 8166 for Fiscal Year 2014-15.
There is no additional cost to the County General Fund with the recommended action.
