BACKGROUND:
The Contra Costa County Probation Department received a grant in the amount of
$175,000 from the California Corrections Standards Authority (CSA) for an Enhanced
Technical Assistance Program for Disproportionate Minority Contact (DMC). DMC refers to
the over-representation of youth of color who come into contact with the Juvenile Justice
System relative to their number in the general population.
Funding from the CSA enables the Contra Costa County Probation Department to continue
to address the issue of DMC by enabling us to contract with an expert consultant to
continue Probation staff training sessions on DMC, support the education of stakeholders
about the Probation Department's DMC efforts, and to engage stakeholders in the
development of a long term DMC reduction plan for the County.
Additionally, the data collection and analysis contract will allow the Probation Department to
assist both our Department and the community in addressing DMC. We are committed to
pursuing accurate and meaningful data relating to youth of color who come into contact with
the Probation Department.
