DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE (DUI) INTENSIVE SUPERVISION

Utilizing grant funding allocated by the Office of Traffic Safety (OTS), the Probation Department
provides a dedicated DPO to offer services to a caseload of 50 DUI offenders. The DUI Intensive

Supervision caseload provides services in the Santa Maria region. Those offenders are subject to
increased field supervision and office contacts, DUI program verification activities, searches, routine
alcohol testing via the Alco Sensor FST, warrant apprehension, and the use of SCRAM. Further,
offenders on the DUI Intensive Supervision caseload participate in regularly scheduled Court reviews
via a DUI review calendar, which provides a collaborative process, added scrutiny by the Court, and
employs graduated sanctions for those offenders who are out of compliance.

PROBATION REPORT AND RESOURCE CENTERS (PRRC)

The PRRC is a day report and resource program for adult

offenders 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 offenders 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, parenting classes, and substance
abuse intervention and referral.

Offenders referred to the PRRC receive programming, early release monitoring and re-entry services as
they transition from the custodial environment to the community. Offenders are assessed utilizing a
validated risk and needs assessment instrument, the results of which, in conjunction with the
offender’s probation terms and conditions, are considered in developing a case plan tailored to the
client. As determined by risk and the case plan, offenders could attend the PRRC up to five (5) days per

week.

JAIL ASSESSORS

Through the combined efforts of the DPO Jail Assessors and Sheriff’s Inmate Booking personnel, 90% of

inmates entering the jail have completed risk assessment scores. These scores, calculated through the
use of evidence-based screening and assessment tools, assist in identifying offenders eligible for
alternative detention and programming. Between July 1, 2015, and June 30, 2016, the assessors and
jail personnel completed over 4,885 Initial Screening Tools (IST) and over 1,952 Correctional Offender
