Veteran DPOs have been assigned new N3 probationers to supervise. The case- load for the current DPOs has increased dramatically for each DPO to monitor and supervise adequately. Prior to the enactment of AB 109/117, each DPO had ap- proximately 2,500 probationers to supervise. Since AB 109/117, probation has shifted probation cases for supervision away from these veteran DPOs in order to monitor the new N3 probationers.

The number of released N3s to LAC from October 2011 through mid- March 2012 is well above the projected numbers by LASD. LASD anticipated between 7,000 to 8,000 N3s to be released to LAC during the first year beginning October 2011. Be- tween October 1, 2011 and February 13, 2012, 4,749 N3s have been sent to LAC. This number is approximately 950 N3s per month or a projected 11,400 over a twelve month period.
