VI. SAN BENITO COUNTY PROBATION DEPARTMENT
BACKGROUND
The Grand Jury reviewed the San Benito County Probation Department
METHOD OF REVIEW
Interview with the Chief Probation Officer
OBSERVATIONS, FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
The Grand Jury interviewed the Chief of the San Benito County Probation Department. At this time the department supervises 748 offenders; of this number 38 are recorded sex offenders which generates an additional workload.
With the increase in County population and the subsequent increase in support services, the department is in need of larger quarters. We find that the department is well run. The staff appears to be well trained and operates efficiently.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The Grand Jury recommends that:
| 1. |
The Board of Supervisors seek immediate funding for larger quarters to
house this department. |
AFFECTED AGENCIES
San Benito County Board of Supervisors
San Benito County Probation Department
RESPONSE REQUIRED
California Penal Code s/s 933 requires that a response to this final report's
recommendations be delivered to the presiding judge within 90 days of the
receipt of the report.
