The Community Relations Office (CRO) endeavors to build a foundation of trust with community groups, stakeholders and agencies in order to carry out the mission of the Department to operate sustainable and ongoing public safety initiatives for juvenile and adult probation services in the County. The CRO focuses on public education and awareness to foster a good understanding of Department operations through proactive communication and engagement linkages. Our objectives are twofold; to move the Department’s community corrections agenda toward building community capacity that is grounded in the principles of evidence-based practices and to develop an environment in the county where entire communities participate in efforts to rebuild lives and sustain healthy families and children.
