Center for Positive Change to host winter completion ceremony

January 15, 2015

SOLANO COUNTY – The Probation Department's Center for Positive Change (CPC) will host a winter completion ceremony to honor 37 high risk offender clients who have successfully completed the CPC program. Everyone is welcome to join Probation Chief Chris Hansen on Jan. 21 at 3:30 p.m. at the County Event Center, 601 Texas St., Fairfield for the official ceremony.

The CPC opened in April 2013 as a result of the implementation of AB109, which made fundamental changes to California’s correctional system.  AB109 changed the sentencing and supervision of people convicted of felony offenses and amended a number of statutes concerning definitions of felonies, where sentences are served, and how defendants are supervised.

Designed as a one-stop-shop, the CPC provides comprehensive rehabilitation services designed to reduce recidivism.  The goal of the CPC is to assist and provide services to offenders returning from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR), and moderate to high risk offenders who are under the jurisdiction of the Probation Department.

This event is free to the public.  For more information please contact Ruben Vang, CPC Supervising Deputy Probation Officer, at (707) 553-5235 or [email protected].
