This division is responsible for supervising all adults who live in Placer County when they are placed on formal probation by the courts. For offenders granted probation who live in another county, officers coordinate supervision responsibility with the probation department in those counties to manage necessary probation services. Adult Supervision works with offenders both serving time in jail and those serving probation outside jail.
This division provides Alternative sentencing options for serving jail time. These carefully-managed options require offenders to serve their sentences in a way which benefits the community and statisfies the jail sentence they received.
All participants in any community corrections program must satisfy some specific conditions. They must be sentenced to a minimum number of days in jail, and they must be considered low-risk offenders. Each participant pays a $25 nonrefundable application fee. If accepted, each participant also must pay $20 per day to help cover program costs.
Community service work crews have provided help for many county nonprofit organizations by painting, clearing brush, general cleanup, and doing other chores. If you know of a county nonprofit organization which could use the help of a community service work crew, an organization representative should contact Liz Maher at the Probation Department by Email, or at 530-889-7900.
Further information on Alternative Sentencing Programs is available.
