LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SR 44, Caballero.
Digest Key
WHEREAS, Probation professionals play a unique and essential role in our justice system and communities. Through transformative and evidence-based rehabilitation, probation helps justice-involved individuals transition out of the system permanently and onto a healthier and safer life path; and
WHEREAS, Probation departments are a connector in the justice systems and work to maximize the resources available within the courts, local governments, law enforcement, social services, behavioral health system, schools, crime survivor organizations, nonprofits, and the community. Their work balances the need for accountability with the opportunity for justice-involved individuals to engage in rehabilitative treatment and services, providing them the support and opportunity to change their lives; and
WHEREAS, Probation officers are trained experts prepared to manage trauma and other needs of system-involved individuals and safely connect them to the supports they need to successfully transition back to our communities; and
WHEREAS, Probation departments in California support policies that further this focus and apply an equity lens to ensure these policies effectively address the diverse needs of those they serve; and
WHEREAS, Probation departments have a profound impact on the safety and health of our communities by working to tackle the underlying causes of crime and reduce recidivism. Their success fosters a safer environment for all Californians to live and prosper; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate of the State of California, That the Senate proclaims June 23, 2024, to June 29, 2024, inclusive, as Probation Services Week to highlight probation’s immense contributions to our communities and state; and be it further
Resolved, That the Secretary of the Senate transmit copies of this resolution to the author for appropriate distribution.
