In response to the AB109 Realignment Act and the impact the legislation could have in terms of longer county jail terms, the Probation Department has developed and has secured approval from the Sierra County Board of Supervisors to implement the Pretrial Electronic Monitoring Program (EM).

We find that the Probation Department is operating very effectively with limited staff. They have a wide range of clients and responsibilities. Their effectiveness could be better with more staff and resources. The Probation Department will be getting more staff with the realignment funds, and the staff is up to the challenge of improving the results of the programs
