The program uses Motivational Interviewing techniques and a curricula-driven, evidence-based model designed to assess the criminogenic needs of each client to reduce individual risk factors, develop individual goals, and make positive life changes.

The Day Reporting Center offers counseling, treatment, life skills classes and job training to eligible participants. The center is open seven days a week and has a capacity of up to 100 clients per day. These services fill a critical gap in the post-detention transition of adult offenders and provide needed rehabilitative services, which had been underfunded in the past.
Day Reporting Services for the Probation Department were solicited via a County Request for Proposal (RFP#10504) overseen by the Contracts/Purchasing Department...
