PUBLIC PROTECTION COMMITTEE 4.
Meeting Date:10/25/2021
Subject:FY 2022-2023 Contra Costa County Division of Juvenile Justice
Realignment Plan
Submitted For: Esa Ehmen-Krause, County Probation Officer
Department:Probation
Referral No.: n/a
Referral Name: Division of Juvenile Justice Realignment Subcommittee
Presenter: Esa Ehmen-Krause Contact: Deborah Caldwell 925-313-4188
Referral History:
On September 30, 2020, Senate Bill 823 was signed into law. This bill closes the Division of
Juvenile Justice (DJJ), within the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, effective July 1,
2021. Commencing July 1, 2021, the responsibility for all youth adjudged a ward of the court will
be shifted to county governments. The state will be providing annual funding for county
governments to fulfill this new responsibility. Welfare & Institutions Code Section(s) 1990-1995
established the Juvenile Justice Realignment Block Grant program for the purpose of providing
county-based care, custody, and supervision of youth who are realigned from the state Division of
Juvenile Justice or who would otherwise be eligible for commitment to the Division of Juvenile
Justice prior to its closure. To be eligible for funding allocations associated with this grant
program, counties shall create a subcommittee of the multiagency juvenile justice coordinating
council to develop a plan describing the facilities, programs, placements, services, supervision
and reentry strategies that are needed to provide appropriate rehabilitative services for realigned
youth. County plans are to be submitted and revised in accordance with WIC 1995, and may be
posted, as submitted, to the Office of Youth and Community Restoration website. On October 14,
2020, the Probation Department established a Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council
subcommittee to look at the DJJ realignment and the first meeting was on October 29, 2020. The
committee is composed of 10 members representing the Chief Probation Officer, Juvenile
Presiding Judge, Public Defender, District Attorney, Office of Education, Children & Family
Services, Behavioral Health, Juvenile Justice Commission Chair and two Community
Representatives.
On April 15, 2021 the Department of Juvenile Justice Realignment Subcommittee approved the
FY 2021-2022 Division of Juvenile Justice Realignment Interim Plan. Contra Costa County
intends to use the block grant funds to support the total population of youth who, prior to the
promulgation of Senate Bill 823, were eligible for commitment to the California Department of
Juvenile Justice (DJJ). This includes not only youth currently committed to DJJ, but also youth
currently housed and supported by programming in two facilities maintained and operated by the
Probation Department: (1) the Youthful Offender Treatment Program (YOTP), and (2) the Girls in
Page 7 of 47
Motion (GIM) program. Both YOTP and GIM are phased residential programs that offer robust
programming to serve mental, behavioral, and cognitive needs as well as to provide education,
job, and life skills. The County plans to apply a percentage of the grant funds to support services
that promote healthy adolescent development. This includes allocating funds to support
Behavioral Health, Office of Education, and community-based organizations providing services to
the realigned population, as well as offering evidence-based programming to the realigned
population. The Probation Department is proposing a treatment program intended to be viewed in
its totality as a tiered program where residential placements are the most restrictive phase with a
step-down approach to allow youth an opportunity to progress through levels and to gain access to
greater incentives and less restrictive opportunities. Programming will include evidence-based
cognitive behavioral treatment classes, life-skills development, postsecondary coursework,
vocational and career technical education, as well as exposure to programs, services and activities
that encourage positive youth development. Upon a youth's reentry into the community,
post-release community supervision and community-based services will be utilized by the county
to reduce a youth's risk of recidivism.
Referral Update:
On October 14, 2021 the Department of Juvenile Justice Realignment Subcommittee
unanimously approved the FY 2022-2023 Contra Costa County Division of Juvenile Justice
Realignment Plan. This subcommittee, in accordance with the Welfare and Institutions code
section 1995, is a cross-sectional multidisciplinary body, chaired by the Chief Probation Officer
and co-chaired by a representative from a community-based organization. Membership consists of
both representatives from the public sector and community stakeholders as well as the Presiding
Juvenile Judge. In addition, the subcommittee meetings consistently had robust community
participation throughout the planning process and will continue to engage the public as the
county’s local strategy and programming evolves. Contra Costa County intends to use the block
grant funds to support the total population of youth who, prior to the promulgation of Senate Bill
823, were eligible for commitment to the California Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ). This
includes not only youth currently committed to DJJ, but also youth currently housed and
supported by programming in two facilities maintained and operated by the Probation
Department: (1) the Youthful Offender Treatment Program (YOTP), and (2) the Girls in Motion
(GIM) program. Both YOTP and GIM are phased residential programs that offer robust,
evidence-based services designed to address mental, behavioral, and cognitive needs as well as to
provide education, job, and life skills. The County plans to apply a percentage of the grant funds
to support services that promote healthy adolescent development. This includes allocating funds
to support Behavioral Health, Office of Education, and community-based organizations providing
services to the realigned population, as well as offering evidence-based programming to the
realigned population. The Probation Department is proposing a treatment program intended to be
viewed in its totality as a tiered program where residential placements are the most restrictive
phase with a step-down approach to allow youth an opportunity to progress through levels and to
gain access to greater incentives and less restrictive opportunities. Programming will include
evidence-based cognitive behavioral treatment classes, life-skills development, postsecondary
coursework, vocational and career technical education, as well as exposure to programs, services
and activities that encourage positive youth development. Upon a youth's reentry into the
community, post-release community supervision and community-based services will be utilized
by the county to reduce a youth's risk of recidivism.
Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):
Page 8 of 47
ACCEPT and APPROVE the FY 2022-2023 Plan for the Division of Juvenile Justice (DJJ)
Realignment Block Grant, as approved by the Contra Costa County DJJ Realignment Planning
Subcommittee and as recommended by the Chief Probation Officer.
Fiscal Impact (if any):
For the 2022-23 fiscal year, one hundred eighteen million three hundred thirty-nine thousand
dollars ($118,339,000) shall be appropriated from the General Fund to provide appropriate
rehabilitative and supervision services for the population specified.
For Contra Costa County, the amount is estimated to be $4,339,344.

PUBLIC PROTECTION COMMITTEE 5.
Meeting Date:10/25/2021
Subject:Legislation Impacts
Department:County Administrator
Referral No.: n/a
Referral Name: n/a
Presenter: Paul Reyes Contact: Paul Reyes, 925-655-2049
Referral History:
The Public Protection Committee was established by the Board of Supervisors to examine and
make recommendations on issues relating to public protection services provided through the
County’s criminal justice programs. The committee currently has ongoing referals spanning the
County’s criminal justice system, including juvenile justice, and juvenile/adult criminal
administrative fees. During this year's legislative session, a number of bills have been chaptered
that impact the Board of Supevisors' recent actions or will impact future actions.
Referral Update:
Numerous public safety bills were signed by Governor Newsom which will affect the County to
varying degrees. Below is a list of significant public safety Assembly Bills (AB) and Senate Bills
(SB) that have been identified as having an impact on the County.
AB 177 (Public safety): This bill by the Budget Committee transitioned from SB 586 by Senator
Steve Bradford and effective January 1, 2022, eliminates 17 administrative criminal fees; makes
past debt for these fees uncollectible; and allocates backfill funding to counties for the associated
loss of revenue from these fee repeals. In 2021-22, the backfill will total $25 million for counties.
In 2022-23 and ongoing, the backfill will increase to $50 million for counties. AB 177 also
indicates the Legislature’s intent to pursue additional legislation by March 1, 2022, to finalize the
funding allocation methodology for distribution. California State Association of Counties (CSAC)
will continue conversations with stakeholders and share further information as it is available. AB
177 was signed by the Governor on September 23rd. Staff will continue to evaluate the final
impacts of this legislation.
AB 48 (Law enforcement: use of force): This bill by Assembly Member Lorena Gonzalez
provides that the use of kinetic energy projectiles or chemical agents, as defined, shall only be
used by a peace officer that has received training on their proper use by the Commission on Peace
Officer Standards and Training (POST) for crowd control if the use is objectively reasonable to
defend against a threat to life or serious bodily injury to any individual, including any peace
officer, or to bring an objectively dangerous and unlawful situation safely and effectively under
control, and in compliance with specified requirements. This legislation also will require,
Page 38 of 47
beginning January 1, 2023, that each law enforcement agency provide a monthly report to the
Department of Justice (DOJ) of all instances in which a peace officer used a kinetic energy
projectile or chemical agent that resulted in a reported injury to any person. AB 48 was signed by
the Governor on September 30th. This will likely result in training and policy revisions and
additional administrative costs to report monthly to the DOJ.
SB 16 (Peace officers: release of records): This bill by Senator Nancy Skinner increases
transparency of peace officer misconduct records pertaining to findings of unreasonable or
excessive use of force, discriminatory or prejudiced behavior, failure to intervene when
witnessing excessive use of force by a peace officer, or participation in unlawful searches and
arrests. SB 16 was signed by the Governor on September 30th. This legislation expands the
categories of personnel records of peace officers and custodial officers that are subject to
disclosure under the California Public Records Act (CPRA) and.will likely result in additonal
administrative costs to comply with CPRA.
AB 26 (Peace officers: use of force): This bill by Assembly Member Chris Holden requires use
of force policies for law enforcement agencies to include the requirement that officers
“immediately” report potential excessive force, and further describes the requirement to
“intercede” if another officer uses excessive force. Provides additional specifications for law
enforcement agency policies on the duty to intervene when another officer uses excessive force.
AB 26 was signed by the Governor on September 30th. This will also likely result in training and
policy revisions
SB 2 (Peace officers: certification: civil rights): This bill by Senator Steven Bradford creates a
system within the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) to investigate
and revoke or suspend peace officer certification for serious misconduct, including excessive
force, sexual assault, demonstration of bias and dishonesty. This legislation creates the Peace
Officer Standards Accountability Division and the Peace Officer Standards Accountability
Advisory Board within POST to review serious misconduct cases. SB 2 was signed by the
Governor on September 30th. This legislation could potential result in additonal staff costs for the
County to provide information to POST regarding the employment status and relevant
disciplinary records for peace officers.
SB 98 (Public peace: media access): This bill by Senator Mike McGuire allows duly authorized
members of the press to enter areas that have been closed by law enforcement due to a
demonstration, march, protest, or rally and prohibits officers from interfering with, or citing
members of the press for failure to disperse, a violation of a curfew, or a violation of resisting,
delaying, or obstructing, as specified. SB 98 was signed by the Governor on October 9th. This
leglislation will likely not have a local fiscal impact.
Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):
CONSIDER accepting an update on the impacts of recently signed public safety bills.

PUBLIC PROTECTION COMMITTEE 6.
Meeting Date:10/25/2021
Subject:Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council Membership
Department:County Administrator
Referral No.: n/a
Referral Name: Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council
Presenter: Paul Reyes Contact: Deborah Caldwell 925-313-4188
Referral History:
The Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council (JJCC) is a multi-agency advisory body that advises
the Board of Supervisors on the development and implementation of a multi-agency juvenile
justice plan composed of several critical parts, including, but not limited to an assessment of
existing law enforcement, probation, education, mental health, health, social services, drug and
alcohol and youth services resources which specifically target at-promise juveniles, juvenile
offenders, and their families; an identification and prioritization of the neighborhoods, schools,
and other areas in the community that face a significant public safety risk from juvenile crime.
The Council coordinates on a countywide basis the work of those governmental and
non-governmental organizations engaged in activities designed to reduce the incidence of juvenile
crime and delinquency in the greater community, develop information and intelligence-sharing
systems to ensure that county actions are fully coordinated, and provide data and appropriate
outcome measures.
Referral Update:
In October 2021, staff identified that seven (7) seat appointments had expired on June 30, 2021.
This created an immediate concern that the JJCC would not be able to establish quorum. On
October 19, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved the reappoint of the prior incumbents of the
seven (7) termed seats. This was to ensure that the JJCC would be able to establish quorum and
conduct meetings. The reappointment is through January 31, 2022 to allow the JJCC staff to
conduct an open recruitment for these seats. The current JJCC membership is included as
Attachment A.
Today's action is to request further direction from the Committee on the recruitment process and
to consider taking the necessary actions to change the Police Dept and Education representatives
from Board appointed to "ex-officio".
Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):
1. PROVIDE direction to staff regarding the recruitment process for Juvenile Justice Coordinating
Page 40 of 47

PUBLIC PROTECTION COMMITTEE 7.
Meeting Date:10/25/2021
Subject:APPOINTMENTS TO THE CY2022 COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS
PARTNERSHIP & EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
Submitted For: Monica Nino, County Administrator
Department:County Administrator
Referral No.: n/a
Referral Name: COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS PARTNERSHIP
Presenter: Paul Reyes Contact: Paul Reyes, 925-655-2049
Referral History:
The California Legislature passed Assembly Bill 109 (Chapter 15, Statutes of 2011), which
transferred responsibility for supervising certain lower-level inmates and parolees from the
California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) to counties. Assembly Bill 109
(AB109) took effect on October 1, 2011 and realigned three major areas of the criminal justice
system. On a prospective basis, the legislation:
• Transferred the location of incarceration for lower-level offenders (specified nonviolent,
non-serious, non-sex offenders) from state prison to local county jail and provides for an
expanded role for post-release supervision for these offenders;
• Transferred responsibility for post-release supervision of lower-level offenders (those released
from prison after having served a sentence for a non-violent, non-serious, and non-sex offense)
from the state to the county level by creating a new category of supervision called Post-Release
Community Supervision (PRCS);
• Transferred the custody responsibility for parole and PRCS revocations to local jail,
administered by county sheriffs
AB109 also created an Executive Committee of the local Community Corrections Partnership
(CCP) and tasked it with recommending a Realignment Plan (Plan) to the county Board of
Supervisors for implementation of the criminal justice realignment.
The Community Corrections Partnership is identified in statute as the following:
Community Corrections Partnership
Chief Probation Officer (Chair)
Presiding Judge (or designee)
County supervisor, CAO, or a designee of the BOS
District Attorney
Public Defender
Page 43 of 47
Sheriff
Chief of Police
Head of the County department of social services
Head of the County department of mental health
Head of the County department of employment
Head of the County alcohol and substance abuse programs
Head of the County Office of Education
Community-Based Organization (CBO) representative with experience in rehabilitative
services for criminal offenders
Victims’ representative
Later in 2011, the Governor signed Assembly Bill 117 (Chapter 39, Statutes of 2011), which
served as “clean up” legislation to AB109. Assembly Bill 117 (AB117) changed, among other
things, the composition of the local CCP-Executive Committee. The CCP-
Executive Committee is currently identified in statute as the following:
Community Corrections Partnership-Executive Committee
Chief Probation Officer (Chair)
Presiding Judge (or designee)
District Attorney
Public Defender
Sheriff
A Chief of Police
The head of either the County department of social services, mental health, or alcohol and
drug services (as designated by the board of supervisors)
Although AB109 and AB117 collectively place the majority of initial planning activities for
Realignment on the local CCP, it is important to note that neither piece of legislation cedes
powers vested in a county Board of Supervisors’ oversight of and purview over how AB109
funding is spent. Once the Plan is adopted, the Board of Supervisors may choose to implement
that Plan in any manner it may wish.
Referral Update:
Each year, the Public Protection Committe reviews the membership of the Community
Corrections Partnership and makes recommendations for appointment to non ex-officio seats to
the Board of Supervisors. The Board has made these appointments on a calendar year basis. Two
members are in seats that expired on December 31, 2021 and this action would renew their
appointments through December 31, 2022.
Today's action is seeking direction from the Public Protection Committee to forward the nominees
to the Board of Supervisors following a determination and vote of the Committee today.
Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):
CONSIDER recommending nominees for appointment to seats on the Community Corrections Partnership &
Executive Committee (see attachments) for calendar year 2022.
