Briefly describe the structure of your program. Previously the case load was based on the first letter of the last name. This meant the probationers residence could be anywhere in the county and the officers ability to make contact was hampered severely.
Probationers check in during school with their probation officer.
If the probationer is not in school, the team is made aware at the time of the absence. The police officer investigates criminal activity and in concurrence with the probation officer handles the incident either formally or informally. Parents are contacted and hearings are conducted on campus. In the event of informal probation, violators are given work programs administered by the Fresno County Probation Office, given other referrals, or agree to paying retribution as indicated. In the year prior to implementation the numbers of arrests in our schools were tracked in six major categories and were startling.
