| Description: | Probation provides community-based correctional services that are an alternative to incarceration for juvenile and adult offenders.
The Probation Department operates as an arm of the Court and is responsible for services required by the Adult and Juvenile Courts. The department is divided into three divisions: Adult, Juvenile and Institutions. The Adult and Juvenile divisions perform both investigative and supervision functions. The Graham Hill Road office maintains operations of the juvenile facility, with 24 hour care of juveniles ordered by the Court to remain detained. This office also houses the Juvenile Division, support staff, and the Assistant Chief Probation Officer. The Water Street offices house the Adult Division and the Chief Probation Officer. An office is maintained in Watsonville providing departmental services for both adults and juveniles. The Probation Department is responsible for the staffing and operation of Juvenile Hall as well as the Work Furlough and Pretrial services programs. Each offender on probation is assigned to a probation officer whose goal is to provide opportunity to the offender in becoming a productive, law-abiding citizen while maintaining community safety. Probation officers are sworn peace officers and may arrest those who violate court orders or probation conditions. The probation department provides services as determined by the law, court orders, the risk the offender presents to the community, and the needs of the offender and family.

Casey Foundation established the Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative (JDAI) to reduce the number of children unnecessarily or inappropriately detained to minimize the number of youth who fail to appear in court or re-offend pending adjudication, to redirect public funds toward successful reform strategies, and to improve conditions of confinement.

Family Solutions (SB 163 Wraparound Program) is a program which seeks to strengthen families, so that youth who are at imminent risk for out of home placement, may continue living at home, with their families and in their communities.
