The Adult​ Services Division oversees the supervision of adults on probation, Post-Release Community Supervision, and Mandatory Supervision. In partnership with multi-agency task forces, the Division combines specialized supervision with rehabilitative programming to address public safety and client needs.

Adult Services includes collaborative courts, Adult Day Reporting Centers, Screening and Assessment Units, and the Community Outreach Unit, which provide alternatives to incarceration through treatment, counseling, education, job training, and restitution opportunities. The Division also partners with Health Services, Behavioral Health, Human Assistance, and Correctional Health to connect clients with medical care, mental health treatment, benefits, housing, and other supports that promote stability and successful reentry.​

Post-Release Community Supervision (PRCS) and Mandatory Supervision

In response to Assembly Bill (AB) 109, Public Safety Realignment, Probation assumed responsibility for supervising offenders released from state prison who are no longer eligible for state incarceration. Officers assigned to PRCS and Mandatory Supervision provide intensive field supervision, connect clients to appropriate services, and support their successful reintegration into the community.​​

Family Violence Unit

The Family Violence Unit supervises individuals placed on probation for crimes involving family violence. Officers monitor compliance with probation conditions, make referrals to certified Batterers' Treatment Program (BTP, and track client progress in counseling. The unit also oversees annual audits and recertification of BTP providers in accordance with state standards. For more information, please see the Batterer's Program Standards and Procedures.

Gang Intelligence Unit

The Gang Intelligence Unit is one of the most experienced law enforcement teams addressing gang activity in Sacramento County. Working in partnership with the Sheriff’s Office, Sacramento Police Department, District Attorney’s Office, and other agencies, the unit actively supervises high-risk gang members on probation and coordinates gang-prevention and intervention strategies.​

​High Risk Probation (HRP) Unit 

The High-Risk Probation (HRP) Unit provides intensive supervision for adult felony clients identified as high risk. All clients are screened using the Level of Service/Case Management Inventory (LS/CMI) tool, which informs individualized supervision plans. Clients begin at the most intensive supervision level and, with sustained compliance and law-abiding behavior, may transition through progressively less restrictive levels of supervision, culminating in web-based reporting. Each phase typically lasts eight months.

Interstate Compact

The Interstate Compact (ISC) Unit ensures compliance with laws governing the movement of offenders between states. Officers coordinate with the Interstate Commission for Adult Offender Supervision to supervise Sacramento County clients approved to relocate out of state, as well as individuals granted probation in other states who now reside locally​. ​​ 

General Supervision

The General Supervision Unit manages specialized caseloads, including:

• Two officers supervising transient PRCS clients on GPS monitoring, with a focus on providing housing and emergency resource referrals.
• Three officers managing office-based caseloads: two for moderate-risk probation clients and one for high-risk clients reporting to the Folsom Boulevard Office.​
  

Office of Traffic Safety/Driving Under the Influence (OTS/DUI) Unit

The Office of Traffic Safety / Driving Under the Influence (OTS/DUI) Unit, supported by state grant funding, intensively monitors clients on probation for felony DUI convictions or multiple DUI offenses. Officers provide close community supervision, conduct searches, and administer random alcohol and drug testing to ensure compliance and community safety.

Sexual Assault Felony Enforcement (SAFE) Unit

The SAFE Unit is part of a multi-jurisdictional task force dedicated to monitoring adult sex offenders. Probation officers conduct risk assessments, ensure compliance with probation conditions, and monitor counseling and treatment progress in coordination with local law enforcement partners.  

Rancho Cordova Probation Partnership

In partnership with Code Enforcement, Animal Control, and the Rancho Cordova Police Department, this specialized team uses a code-enforcement approach to address community issues. Officers supervise high-risk probation clients residing in Rancho Cordova, contributing to safer neighborhoods. In 2013, this partnership received the Most Innovative Program award from the California Association of Code Enforcement Officers​. 

K-9 Unit

The Probation Canine Unit consists of two highly trained dogs and their handlers who enhance safety and compliance across operations. The canines are skilled in detecting narcotics, firearms, and marijuana, supporting contraband searches and promoting safer environments during probation operations​.

​Sacramento County Auto Theft Suppression Task Force (SAC-CATS)

SAC-CATS is a partnership among Probation, the California Highway Patrol, and other law enforcement agencies, funded in part by Department of Motor Vehicles registration fees. The team conducts surveillance, suppression, and investigations of auto theft crimes. The probation officer assigned to SAC-CATS supervises a specialized caseload of high-risk vehicle theft offenders.  

​Sacramento Valley Hi-Tech Crimes Task Force

This multi-agency task force unites approximately 30 law enforcement partners, including Probation, to investigate and prosecute cyber-related crimes. Cases include identity theft, organized crime, unauthorized computer access, online child exploitation, and possession or distribution of child pornography. Probation’s assigned officer contributes specialized supervision expertise to support these investigations​.

​​California Multi-Jurisdictional Methamphetamine Enforcement Team Task Force (Cal-MMET)

Cal-MMET is a collaboration between the Sacramento Sheriff’s Office and Probation to identify, disrupt, and dismantle methamphetamine and drug trafficking organizations in the region. The probation officer assigned to this task force manages caseloads of individuals convicted of drug-related offenses, ensuring compliance and reducing reoffending. 

Gang Suppression Task Force (GSU)

A deputy probation officer from the Adult Services Division is assigned to the Sheriff’s Office Gang Suppression Task Force, a multi-agency team addressing gang-related crime throughout Sacramento County. The GSU works closely with prosecutors to deter, investigate, and prosecute gang activity. The probation officer assigned to the task force supervises validated gang members under probation supervision​.​

Jail Diversion Treatment and Resource Center - New County Initiative

The Board of Supervisors authorized Probation to accept $1.69 million in funding from the California Health Facility Financing Authority's Community Services Infrastructure (CHFFA CSI) Grant Program to establish the JDTRC. Located at 711 G Street near the Main Jail and Sacramento Superior Court, the JDTRC provides a one-stop resource for Misdemeanor Mental Health Diversion Court participants, ages 18 and older, who are living with mental illness, co-occurring substance use disorders, and/or trauma.

The JDTRC connects participants with a wide range of services, including mental health evaluations, therapeutic classes, legal support, probation supervision, and referrals to community-based providers. The center's goal is to divert individuals from incarceration to treatment and community-based care. Despite pandemic-related delays, renovation of the 5,591 square-foot facility has continued, with the center expected to open in January 2022. Get more information and updates  about the JDTRC.

Adult Day Reporting Centers (ADRCs)

Since 2010, Probation has operated three Adult Day Reporting Centers (ADRCs) in Sacramento's north, south, and central communities to reduce transportation barriers and serve clients where they live. The ADRCs provide intensive on-site interventions for moderate- to high-risk clients, ages 18 and older.

At intake, clients are assessed using the Level of Service/Case Management Inventory (LS/CMI), and a multidisciplinary team develops individualized treatment plans. Programs typically last 9–12 months and include cognitive behavioral therapy, substance use treatment, education, vocational training, housing support, and family services. Participants engage in pro-social activities and make victim restitution through the Community Outreach Program.

The ADRCs partner with community organizations to expand opportunities, including:

• Elk Grove Adult and Community Education and the Sacramento County Office of Education for high school equivalency diplomas.
• Northern California Construction Training for vocational training and job readiness.
• B Street Theatre, which co-facilitates role-playing workshops to build confidence and communication skills.
  

These targeted interventions support clients at the highest risk of reoffending, helping them build stability and lead crime-free lives.​
