Probation: community corrections program.

Existing law authorizes each county to establish a Community Corrections Performance Incentives Fund to receive state moneys to implement a community corrections program consisting of a system of felony probation supervision services to, among other things, manage and reduce offender risk while under felony probation supervision and upon reentry from jail into the community. Existing law requires a community corrections program to be implemented by probation and advised by a local Community Corrections Partnership, consisting of specified members, including, but not limited to, the sheriff and the heads of various county social services programs. Existing law requires a Community Corrections Partnership to recommend a local plan to the county board of supervisors for the implementation of public safety realignment. This bill would add a rank-and-file deputy sheriff, a rank-and-file probation officer or deputy probation officer, a rank-and-file social worker, and a counselor employed by a county alcohol and substance abuse program, to be appointed by a local labor organization, to the membership of a Community Corrections Partnership. The bill would require a local Community Corrections Partnership to meet at least once each year. The bill would require the vote of the rank-and-file probation officer or deputy probation officer on the local plan. Existing law establishes the Board of State and Community Corrections to provide statewide leadership, coordination, and technical assistance to promote effective state and local efforts and partnerships in California's adult and juvenile criminal justice system. The board is comprised of specified members, including, but not limited to, a public member and county sheriffs and probation officers. This bill would add one more public member and a rank-and-file probation officer or deputy probation officer, a rank-and-file deputy sheriff, and a rank-and-file social worker with specified experience to the membership of the board, to be appointed by the Governor, subject to Senate confirmation.
