SUBJECT: Approve the Sheriff as the Contra Costa County Correctional Administrator for Adults;
Approve the Probation Officer as the Contra Costa County Correctional Administrator
for Juveniles
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Sheriff as the Correctional Administrator, for Contra Costa County, for adults,
and the Probation Officer as the Correctional Administrator for juveniles.
Il. FINANCIAL IMPACT
None.
Ill. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:
To remain within the parameters of Penal Code Section 1203.016, the Board must authorize the Sheriff
and/or Probation Officer to act as the Correctional Administrator.
1203. PC states:
1. The Board of Supervisors may authorize the Correctional Administrator to offer a program where
low-risk offenders may voluntarily participate in a home detention program.
2. No public or private agency may operate a home detention program in any county without a written
contract with that county's Correctional Administrator.
IV. BACKGROUND:
The Sheriff has been acting as the Correctional Administrator, operating an electronic home detention
program through the Board's authorization, since January 13, 1989. A similar program has been operated
by the Probation Department for juveniles.
Through this same capacity, the Board of Supervisors authorized the Sheriff, on September 10, 1996, to
enter into a contract with Sentencing Concepts, a private electronic monitoring firm.
Originally, 1203.016 PC stated, "The Sheriff or Corrections Administrator could offer such a program." The
law now states "The Correctional Administrator"may offer these programs.
This proposal has been endorsed by Terry Starr, County Probation Officer.
V. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:
By authorizing the Sheriff and Probation Officer to act as Correctional Administrators for their respective
areas of concern, the county remains within the law of 1203.016 PC.
