The Probation Department protects the community through services provided to the courts, victims and clients. Whether you are on probation, a victim of crime, interested in a career in community corrections or just curious about the Probation Department, we hope you find this Website useful. The Departmental Functions section provides information about the services provided by each division of the department and includes drug testing hours. The Special Projects section includes links to the Comprehensive Multiagency Juvenile Justice Action Plan and information about our Strategic Plan. You will find a link to currently available employment opportunities in the Recruitment section. If you are a student considering a career in probation or a related field, an internship is a great way to get hands on experience. Learn more in the College Internships Available section.  

Probation’s role in community corrections has expanded in recent years and will continue to expand as public safety realignment is implemented in California. We continue to apply research findings to ensure use of programs that have been proven to help clients change their behavior and become productive members of the community. Adhering to these principles of evidence based practice has helped us to use our limited resources as effectively as possible during a time of significant fiscal challenges.

We are always interested in receiving feedback from the community and those we serve, so please do not hesitate to contact us through the Contact Us section.
