The felony sentencing Judge and District Attorney s Office praised the quality and officer efforts of several felony presentence reports in open Court and informally throughout the year. Being present at resentencing hearings (Prop. 47) to assist the Court in determining eligibility and providing custodial credit information.

The Drug Court clinician and probation officer continue to provide a community connection for clients leaving the Drug Court program and those entering the Drug Court program. The continued growth of the Friends of Drug Court, a fund under the auspices of the Collaborative Justice Courts Foundation that makes grants for Drug Court participants and their families to meet needs not covered by other means. The Friends of Drug Court has secured the necessary finances to pay for the dental needs of a participant. Goals and Objectives FY Adult Supervision Expand availability of Moral Recognition Therapy programming to include a curriculum specific to domestic violence offenders. Expand resources available at the Day Reporting Center. Start Pre-trial release program staffed by probation officers. Create new caseload for high-risk offenders. This will reduce the size of each high-risk caseload and allow for closer supervision. Adult Court Maintain extremely high quality of Court reports generated by the Adult Court unit. Continue to have an experienced probation officer present in Court for all major sentencing and providing added assistance to the Court as needed.

4 Jim Arnold Chief Probation Officer Probation the Penal Code, to better provide them with guidance and referrals to programs that will assist with their success. Continue to utilize motivational interviewing techniques in our meetings with the clients on probation pursuant to Section of the Penal Code, to successfully motivate them to follow through with positive choices with their lifestyle. Seek funding for residential treatment and clean and sober living programs. Continue bi-weekly meetings with Yuba County Probation Department drug counselors Continue weekly meetings with the Yuba County Penal Code Probation team. Drug Court Continue to secure extra funding from Comprehensive Drug Court Implementation grant funding for the existing Adult Drug Court program. Our goal is to continue to work closely with Drug Court clients and provide services and motivation to focus on their continued recovery. The Drug Court team has a desire to see a Dependency Court developed to serve participants in the Drug Court program with children that could be involved with Child Protective Services. Pending Issues/Policy Considerations FY Proposition 47 (Nov. 2014): Reclassified many theft and drug possession offenses to misdemeanors. The legislation also provided for the resentencing of existing felons who were eligible to have their convictions reduced. The net effect will be a significant portion of the supervised population (10-15%) eligible for resentencing, which may include termination of supervision. The continued expansion of the Friends of Drug Court program through acquisition of greater resources so to better assist Drug Court clients. 4 FY Proposed Budget County of Yuba

15 Probation Department - Victim Witness Programs Jim Arnold Chief Probation Officer Program Description 2014/2015 presented many challenges and accomplishments for the Victim and Program Services Unit. This unit serves a vital and unique role within the County s Probation Department and more importantly the County itself. The mission of this unit is To provide comprehensive, nurturing and restorative services to victims of crime which seek to restore their dignity and ensure that their rights are afforded. The Victim and Program Services Unit recognize that prevention is the greatest resource to reduce/eliminate future victimization and crime. With that said, most, if not all prevention services have been eliminated due to a reduction in staff and funds. The Program continues to provide comprehensive support, advocacy, counseling, and treatment services to victims of crime, and more importantly to children, however most services are now reactionary, meaning victimization has already occurred. For the 2015/2016 fiscal year the program will experience the ending of two major grant, the Child Abuse Treatment and Unserved/underserved projects. Goals and Objectives FY Continue to Improve the ADA compliance of the Dan Avenue property in which the Victim and Program Services unit is housed, specifically, identify funding to bring into compliance the entry doors and bathrooms. Priority will be to complete a strategic plan as well as a business plan for Victim Services in Yuba County. Explore grant possibilities falling in line with the counties goal to not be dependent on one time monies that allow for the development of sustainable programs. Conduct quarterly briefings with all local law enforcement to further ensure victims rights and identify gaps/problems surrounding Victimization in Yuba County Provide 24 community presentations throughout Yuba County addressing cultural issues unique to Yuba County and services offered at Victim Services. Update the Victim Services webpage and add resources for victims to access online. Begin application and feasibility study for the establishment of a Child Advocacy Center in Yuba County to have a one stop shop for all child advocacy and treatment needs. 5 FY Proposed Budget County of Yuba

16 Probation Department - Victim Witness Programs Jim Arnold Chief Probation Officer 52 Week Batterer s Program: This legislative mandated program for adult offenders is not historically offered by staff working concurrently in a victim witness setting. However, as domestic violence perpetrators are among the highest recidivists, offering this program affords the Probation Department the ability to provide education that can be an agent of change, and supervision of the perpetrator in a controlled group setting. Services to victims of domestic violence, and children witnessing the violence are served by the Victim Witness Program. Program Goals: To continue to develop a curriculum that is Evidence Base that serves the needs of the perpetrator in breaking the cycle of violence. To protect the victim from further harm To identify child witnesses of domestic violence and provide early intervention Identify additional probation staff to be trained to become 52 Week Batterer s Program facilitators. This will help alleviate stress placed on the program due to high client demand. Accomplishments FY Workload Indicators: Due to the reactive nature of victim services and society s inability to accurately predict trends in crime, it is difficult to gauge future workload. However, even without a predictable trend, the Yuba County Probation Department s Victim and Program Services Unit will provide a variety of services that meet the distinctive needs of the county and State requirements for crime victims. One area of increased work centers on the states move to realign the state prison system. This has necessitated the need for one full time advocate serving victims whose offenders fall under AB 109 jurisdiction. This program has been unique in that, historically, it was the only Victim Services Center (based in county government) in the state to provide all mandatory and optional legislatively mandated services to crime victims and have an inhouse clinical treatment center. The staff also is made up of bilingual and bicultural employees (reflective of the county ethnic population) to provide services under one roof to any crime victim. Services provided include: Court escort/court support Assistance in filing Claims for Victim Compensation Crises Intervention/with therapist Crises Intervention with trained Advocate Staff Critical Incident De-briefing Case Status and Disposition Orientation to the Criminal Justice System Notification to family and friends Funeral Arrangements Follow-up Counseling Resource and Referral information Assistance in preparing restraining orders Assistance in preparing Victim Impact Statements Provide 24/7 response for homicide and sexual assault Emergency Assistance including financial, shelter, food, medication, rehabilitation of a dwelling, funeral burial expenses, or any of the many financial hardships caused by criminal conduct.
