Mission
The Division of Probation and Correctional Alternatives oversees county probation departments and community correction programs. It establishes standards, provides training and technical assistance, and monitors outcomes related to the supervision and treatment of offenders.
Budget Highlights
The Executive Budget recommends $71.4 million General Fund for the Division of Probation and Correctional Alternatives. This is a decrease of $9.9 million from the 2008-09 Budget, primarily reflecting a decrease in support for local probation departments and community correction agencies. However, legislation is being advanced to reduce probation caseloads by allowing probation sentences to be reduced by time served under interim supervision. In addition, a one-time $25 probation registration fee would generate revenue that could be retained by the local probation departments.
