Findings and Recommendations 2 findings

F2
There are currently 5.5 Probation Officers, including the Chief Probation Officer. There have been up to twelve officers in the past. It is a strong possibility that in the near future an additional 1.5 positions will be laid off, due to budget issues decreasing the total staff to only 4.

R2
The County must increase the number of probation staff to meet state mandatory requirements based on facility size.
F3
The Facility needs an additional the control panel in the day room. The current panel may be left unattended when it is necessary for staff to leave the control room. An additional panel would enhance the safety and security of the staff and juvenile inmates especially with decreased staffing at night. The surveillance monitors are aging rapidly and do not provide for a sufficient view of all the day floor area.
