ADULT SERVICES DIVISION

PROBATION REPORT AND RESOURCE

CENTERS (PRRC)

The Probation Report and Resource Center (PRRC) is a day report and resource
program for adult clients in Santa Barbara County. The Centers, located in Santa
Barbara and Santa Maria, provide an avenue for alternative sanctions and reduce

the use of secure jail beds for certain violations of probation, while offering clients
evidence-based therapeutic interventions and life skills training to promote and
support success in the community. PRRC programming focuses on, but is not limited

to, cognitive behavioral interventions, employment development, case
management, and substance abuse intervention and referral. Clients referred to the
PRRC receive programming, early release monitoring, and re-entry services as they
transition from the custodial environment to the community.

Clients are assessed utilizing a validated risk and needs assessment instrument, the
results of which, in conjunction with the client's probation Terms and Conditions,
are considered in developing a case plan tailored to the client. As determined by the

client's risk and the case plan, individuals may attend the PRRC up to five (5) days
per week.
