Community Corrections Partnership meets May 14

The Community Corrections Partnership will meet Monday, May 14 at 3 p.m. in Room 6004 of the Solano County Administration Center, 675 Texas St. in Fairfield.

The agenda for the meeting includes reviewing offender data under the public safety realignment program and discussing concepts and proposals related to day/evening reporting systems, substance abuse treatment, sanctions grid and the FY2012/13 Public Safety Realignment budget recommendations to the Board of Supervisors.

The mission of the Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) is to discuss issues related to the implementation of various pieces of state legislation that focus on adult criminal offenders, including the realignment of many state public safety functions to local jurisdictions. The overall objective is to reduce the recidivism rate of adult offenders in the local criminal justice system.

Membership of the CCP is defined by the Community Corrections Performance Incentive Act (SB 678) and includes the Chief Probation Officer, Presiding Judge of the Superior Court, a County Supervisor or County Administrator, District Attorney, Public Defender, Sheriff, Director of Health and Social Services, County Superintendent of Education, a local chief of police, a community-based organization with experience in successfully providing rehabilitative services to persons convicted of criminal offenses, and an individual who represents the interests of victims.

AB 109 establishes the Chief Probation Officer as the chair of the Community Corrections Partnership.  Information presented is fully discussed by the committee members and voted on by the Executive Committee in accordance with the legislation parameters.
