Background: Throughout this state and the nation, gang activity has contributed to an alarming escalation in violent crime. The Police Department has greatly improved the safety of our residents through aggressive suppression techniques and civil gang injunctions. Unfortunately, the cycle continues as newly recruited gang members quickly replace those who have been arrested. Rather than waiting until the crisis stage, breaking this cycle requires intervention to be early, at the time when the options for success are the greatest. On June 6, 2007 the US Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) announced the availability of the 2007 Ganl! Prevention Coordination Assistance Prol!ram. The due date for the grant was June 22, 2007 leaving a very narrow window of time to compile the necessary data and complete the grant. The grant application was submitted on June 22, 2007 for $200,000 to implement an ENTER program as described below. The Grants Ad-Hoc Committee heard the item on July 10,2007. The ENTER program (Erasing Negativity Through Education and Resources) is an OJJDP Model program which uses law enforcement officers to steer gang-affiliated youth out of the gang lifestyle and culture through a variety of techniques. This collaborative program is taught by specially-trained probation officers to classes of 25 gang-exposed students. Guest lecturers include medical professionals, educators, community stakeholders, and others who have the ability to positively influence the lives of the participants. If the grant is awarded, the I6-week programs will be offered repeatedly throughout the two-year funding cycle in an attempt to steer approximately 200 participants out of the gang life-style and back into a more healthy way of life. If the Council concurs with the staff recommendation and the grant is awarded, the city will enter into an agreement with the San Bernardino County Probation Department to teach the ENTER classes to San Bernardino residents currently on formal probation. The probation department will recruit and select participants based on pre-determined criteria. The Mayor's Office will continue recruiting presenters and managing the program. e Implementation of the ENTER program will require funding for personnel, equipment, training, transportation of participants, etc. The Probation Department will assign 2 probation officers to teach ENTER classes. The Probation Department will completely fund the costs of the first probation officer who will be assigned to various locations throughout the county (including the city). The grant funds, if awarded, will be applied to the costs of a second probation officer as well as the costs of travel, supplies, and miscellaneous expenses associated with the implementation of the ENTER program. These costs total $126,183 for the first year and $122,859 for the second year. The proposal includes grant funding of $99,952 in addition to a city match of $15,000, and a Probation Department match of $11 ,231. Year 2 totals $99,879 in grant funding along with $15,000 in city matching funds, and $7,859 in matching funds from the Probation Department. Financial Impact: We have not been awarded the grant and recognize that this is a highly competitive process with only 12 applicants expected to be awarded nation-wide. The source of funding for the required grant match has not been identified at this time but will likely come from the Mayor's Office budget. Ifawarded, the grant will provide $199,831 in funding. The city will provide $15,000 in FY 07-08 and $15,000 in FY 08-09. e Recommendation: e I.

As the county seat, the city of San Bernardino accounts for approximately 10% of the County's 2 million residents but includes more than 20% of the most concerning and gang-related statistics Guvenile arrests leading to detention, state parolees residing in the city limits, violent crime, etc.) along with a disproportionate share of social service delivery. Throughout the 24 cities in the County, 22.1% of children live below the poverty line. In 2002 this county had a juvenile violent crime arrest rate higher than the U.S. average. In 2006 the San Bernardino County Annual Survey conducted by the Institute for Applied Research and Policy Analysis at California State University, San Bernardino determined gangs were listed by residents as the worst thing abut living in the county. Crime and gang activity were the most frequently cited negative factors among respondents county-wide, 48% of whom live in the region that includes the city of San Bernardino. The City of San Bernardino encompasses 60 square miles, has a population of approximately 204,552. The Morgan Quinto Press, which tracks the safest and most dangerous cities in the United States based upon violent crime rates (murder, forcible rape, robbery and aggravated assault) ranked San Bernardino as the 24th most dangerous city in the U.S., down from 18th and 16th in the previous two years. According to the 2005 California Department of Justice, Bureau of Criminal Information and Analysis Report in 1 ", e e e Gang Prevention Coordinator-Grant 2 2004, 1,432 juveniles were arrested in San Bernardino County for variety offenses. Arrest ages varied from under ten years old to age 17: OFFENSE CLASS OFFENSE TYPE MALE FEMALE TOTAL FELONY HOMICIDE II I 12 FELONY ROBBERY 236 21 257 FELONY ASSAULT 599 148 747 FELONY WEAPONS 382 34 416 According to the U.S. Census Bureau (2005), only 60% of the city's population is eligible to work compared to the national average of 66%. Approximately 28.1 % of the general population lives below the poverty line compared to the national average of 13.3%. High school diploma-holders over age 25 amount to 65.3% while the national average is 84.2%. This disparity is indicative of a lack of commitment and achievement on behalf of the city's youth (SB County Children's Network 2005 Report/Urban Institute of Education Policy). High school dropout rates in San Bernardino have been increasing continuously since 2000 and the current rate of 17% is much higher than the state average of 13% (the State of the Region Report 2005). A study conducted by The Seattle Social Development Project showed that juveniles who had low academic achievement were 3.1 times more likely to join a gang. It is clear that poor academic performance and low commitment to 2 e e e Gang Prevention Coordinator-Grant 3 school correspond directly to gang membership. The Seattle project identified a direct correlation between the number of risk factors and the likelihood that an adolescent would join a gang. 1 In 2001 the San Bernardino County-wide Gangs and Drugs Task Force (GDTF) sponsored a two-year community assessment of the impact of gangs on county communities. The scope of the assessment included a survey of 470 agencies including law enforcement agencies, community and faith based organizations, all county high schools, and a sample of middle and elementary schools. Supporting information included in the survey results was based upon a review of secondary information: crime statistics, school district surveys, and input from members of the GDTF executive board. The GDTF Preliminary Assessment report issued in late 2003 revealed many issues. The approximate armual cost for detaining gang members at the county juvenile detention, county jailor in other county facilities was estimated at $25 million armually. Seventy percent of responding school administrators reported indicators of gang violence on school campuses, and fifty percent acknowledged that gangs increase problems on campus. In fact, more than half of the responding schools requested law enforcement assistance, at some point during the three years preceding the survey, to deal with gang related issues on campus. More than two hundred community-based organizations responded to the GDTF survey, but only five agencies provided intervention or prevention programs specifically for gang members. This exposes the void in our current I http://depts.washington.edu/ssdp/ 3 . tit tit tit Gang Prevention Coordinator-Grant 4 scope of services and underscores one of the reasons that our local anti-gang efforts have not been more successful. Risk factors of gang membership operate in several domains: the individual; the individual's family; the peer group; the school and community. The greater the number of ri~k factors a youth is exposed to, the greater their risk of joining a gang in adolescence. The presence of risk factors in multiple domains appears to increase the likelihood of gang membership and delinquency. (Howell, Youth Gangs, An Overview, 1998). There is an abundance of casual risk factors for gang membership impacting those youth that live within the City of San Bernardino. Community risk factors include a high level of social disorganization, high availability of drugs and firearms, high crime rates and a large number of generational gangs that have built bonds within certain communities where youth are being taught cultural norms supporting gang behavior. There is a lack of social and economic opportunities. Current anti-gang efforts in the city are broad in scope and partners. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives recently focused resources in the city with the creation of a new Violent Crime Impact Team. The Mayor has been deeply involved in state gang policy and has lent his expertise (30 years as a Superior Court judge) to weigh in on the Governor's legislative gang agenda. More local efforts include a countywide multi-agency coalition (GDTF), probation prevention programs, and a series of suppression efforts including seven active gang injunctions and meaningful partnerships with state and local law enforcement agencies. 4 e e Gang Prevention Coordinator-Grant 5 In 2004 the GDTF issued the countywide strategic plan on gangs based upon the results of the previously mentioned two-year long community assessment. The results were issued to the public as part of a comprehensive Preliminary Assessment report, which identified key findings and made recommendations for communities and agencies within the county to address gangs. The most significant recommendation, "Development of a countywide plan addressing community gang violence", resulted in the development of the Countywide Strategic Plan on Gangs, which was unanimously endorsed by members of the GDTF executive board. The plan was issued to the public in April 2005. The strategic plan consists of three components: I) Plan Development, tracking and evaluation, 2) Gang suppression, and 3) Gang prevention and intervention. Collectively the three components of the plan identify twelve objectives for the successful management, intervention and prevention of gang crime, incidents and results. Moreover, seventy-five suggested strategies to achieve the identified objectives are identified. In response to the community concerns identified as part of the assessment report in May of 2005 the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a $4.5 million Gang Initiative authorizing funding, personnel, and equipment for the County Sheriffs Department, Probation, the District Attorney's Office, and the Public Defender's Office to enhance or develop existing gang suppression, intervention, and/or prevention services. The probation department implemented a broad, three-pronged, strategy to address gangs by implementing a Gang Intelligence and e Prevention/Intervention Services Unit as part of the San Bernardino County Gang 5 e e e '''1 Gang Prevention Coordinator-Grant 6 Initiative. Probation's approach to addressing gangs is unique and progressive. Aside from suppression officers, the unit is staffed with officers that develop or implement existing gang intervention and prevention programs. A portion of the funding allocated to probation was used to implement a secondary prevention program, Gang Resistance Education And Training (G.R.E.A.T), using three full-time Probation Officers, who implement elementary and middle school components within three regions of the county. Subsequently during the 2006/2007 fiscal year the Probation Department was awarded a U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs' Bureau of Justice Assistance grant, which funds two additional full-time G.R.E.A.T officers who are dedicated to implementing G.R.E.A.T classes at elementary and middle schools within the San Bernardino City Unified School District. In summer 2007 the probation Department developed a collaboration with the Boys and Girls Clubs of San Bernardino, Victor Valley, Fontana, and the American Red Cross of San Bernardino, the County of San Bernardino County Public Health Department, the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department, Mother's Against Drunk Driving, I Love To Cook, as well as various other agencies to provide a G.R.E.A.T summer program for 11- 14 year old students throughout the county. A targeted gang enforcement contingent of nine gang officers includes three juvenile gang suppression Probation officers, three adult gang suppression Probation officers, 2 senior Probation officers assigned to multi-agency teams (comprised of a San Bernardino County Sheriffs Sergeant, 2 deputies, and a California Highway Patrol Officer), and a 6 _ 1_ _ ".'" Gang Prevention Coordinator-Grant 7 Probation Officer assigned to a Federal Bureau of Investigations Task Force. Two Probation Officers assigned to the IMP ACT program, which pairs a Probation Officer with a Police patrol officer were added to the unit. One IMPACT officer is assigned to the San Bernardino City Police Department and the second Probation Officer is assigned to the San Bernardino City Unified School District Police Department. An Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Congressional Earmark funds IMPACT. The benefits of the program are clear but the future of the program is unclear because the current funding source will be terminated next fiscal year. The extensive nature of the Probation Department collaborations permits the department to provide Ii broad range of services directed at stemming gang crimes, and potential gang involvement. Virtually every study of crime reduction and violence prevention concludes that a long- term, sustainable reduction in crime and violence cannot be achieved solely through law enforcement actions. Communities must engage in the hard work of creating programs and services that reach-out to at-risk youth, young adults, and families before they become involved in criminal or violent behavior. The Mayor created the Office of Community Safety and Violence to coordinate, centralize, facilitate, and assist existing programs and agencies in the City of San Bernardino. The Office supports existing programs and agencies with education, access, information, and partnership opportunities. The goal of violence prevention is to focus on intervention and prevention 7 tit tit e Gang Prevention Coordinator-Grant 8 instead of suppression. It serves as a conduit of information and resources and a beacon of hope. Operation Phoenix is The Mayor's multi-jurisdictional neighborhood-based attack on crime and gang violence based on a balance of suppression, intervention and prevention. The Operation is currently addressing policy issues like recidivism/victimization rates of the 2,119 parolees and 5,000 probationers in the city. Efforts also include focused attention to gangs through participation in the California Cities Gang Prevention Network with Jack Calhoun and the National League of Cities. The network serves as a resource of best practices for effective suppression, intervention and prevention techniques. The team is currently working to develop a city-specific blue-print for gang reduction. Although Operation Phoenix includes several city-wide initiatives, it is more well-known for a focused effort with the original 20-block target area that was previously the most dangerous area in the city. Located in the center of the city, the initial 20-block target area has been historically plagued with a range of disturbing crime and social statistics. In the year 2005, there were 204 Part I crimes (including four murders, 43 robberies, 44 aggravated assaults, and 52 burglaries), 2,000 child abuse referrals, over 80 substance exposed infants, 420 teen pregnancies, and 2,400 children suspended or expelled from neighborhood schools. In addition, 69 state Parolees, 90 adult Probationers, and 16 juvenile Probationers lived in the 20-block area. 8 e e e '~ Gang Prevention Coordinator-Grant 9 Recent suppression efforts include borrowed resources (CHP and Sheriff's personnel assigned to the city during peak crime areas during crisis times) and additional long-tenn resources (helicopter, reallocation of existing resources, and the hiring of 40 additional police officers to fully implement the beat plan of our community policing model) to compliment existing efforts like the seven active gang injunctions. In addition, the department has reallocated existing resources to best meet the needs of the' community. Non profit agencies have been the backbone of our intervention and prevention efforts. Along with probation's G.R.E.A.T. program, they are making a tangible impact on our gang culture. Their efforts have inspired paradigm shifts in the way services are delivered. As an example, Child Protective Services, because of the newly collected data, was able to reassign social workers so that a team was assigned specifically to the 20-block target area. This resulted in a more efficient service-delivery model and ultimately allowed more children to be served at no additional cost to the County. The primary vehicle for implementing Operation Phoenix was the creation and deployment of the Operation Phoenix "Street Team". The Street Team is a multidisciplinary collaboration between law enforcement representatives, social workers, code enforcement officers, mental health clinicians, public health nurses, victim witness advocates, and school district attendance staff. The Street Team provides referrals to other team members, coordinates activities based on law enforcement calls for service related to family issues, and coordinates services related to code enforcement "sweeps." 9 e tit e Gang Prevention Coordinator-Grant 10 During one sweep in August 2006, over 220 building code violations were found. Five referrals were made to Child Protective Services, 15 referrals were made to Public Health, and 35 children were found either not enrolled or not attending school. In an additional sweep at the end of August, five arrests were made on narcotic charges and outstanding warrants, and a stolen car was recovered.2 While the day-to-day implementation for Operation Phoenix is accomplished by the Street Team, the policy direction for Operation Phoenix is overseen by the Steering Committee. The Steering Committee meets monthly and is comprised of Directors and Managers from the partner agencies. The Committee advises the Mayor on operational issues and serves as a forum to develop new partnerships and programs. Nine months into the program crime has been reduced by 38% within the target area and 22% city-wide compared to the same period I year ago. 3 Efforts are currently underway to expand on this success by implementing similar strategies in five additional target areas. Under the leadership of the Mayor, more than 45 public, private, and non-profit partners are working together toward a common goal. The relationships have yielded an improved efficiency in the delivery of public and social services because of commitments from local, state, and federal partners like the District Attorney, county probation, local school district, public health, etc. They have been able to affect change from the street level as indicated by the data. They have also been able to influence policy by advising on local and state legislation. Members of the Operation are currently working with U.S. 2 Office of the Mayor of the City of San Bernardino, June 2007. 3 Office ofthe Mayor of the City of San Bernardino, June 2007. 10 e e e Gang Prevention Coordinator-Grant 11 Senators Feinstein and Boxer as well as the Governor's Office on a variety of legislative priorities. The implementation of the ENTER program represents an expansion of the existing program. It will provide a balanced mechanism for continuing the progress made thus far and is consistent with the anti-gang concepts recently outlined by Governor Schwarzenegger and U.S. Senators Feinstein and Boxer. Impact / Outcomes and Evaluation The Erasing Negativity Through Education and Resources (E.N.T.E.R) Program IS a sixteen-week post detention and/or post out-of-home placement intervention program for juvenile probationers, who have a history of gang involvement through gang membership or significant gang association. Significant gang association for this purpose is defined as an ongoing relationship through social, family and criminal relationships that promote gang activity, gang crimes, and exposure to the risk factors associated with gang membership. E.N.T.E.R will provide a range of services directed at juvenile gang- involved probationers. The goals of this program is to reduce gang activity in targeted communities through improved coordination of existing resources and activities that support multiple complimentary gang strategies. The second goal is to improve academic performance and decrease truancy among gang-involved youth. The third goal is to promote positive moral reasoning through Aggression Replacement Training (ART), an OJJDP model program. The last goal is to provide employment training and job placement services, which result in entry-level employment opportunities. This will be done through coordinated 11 e e e Gang Prevention Coordinator-Grant 12 strategies that provide exposure to resources, and promote pro-social opportunities for gang members to disassociate from gang groups, behaviors or crime. A variety of complimentary services from partnership organizations, who will collaborate to introduce and link juvenile probationers to appropriate services to facilitate attaining the aforementioned goals. Identified program goals will be accomplished through the implementation of strategies (objectives) specific to the identified goals or in support of the goals. Four broad strategies will be implemented to achieve the program goals as follows. This will be done through the provision of intensive community based; post detention and placement case management and linkage to a cross section of services for a minimum of 120 high-risk gang-involved juveniles annually: I. To provide alternative education support through subject specific educational tutoring and high school exit exam workshops. 2. To decrease truancy among gang-involved juvenile probationers by improving academic interest and ability through access to education supports: tutoring and exit exam workshops. 3. To provide access to vocational education and employment preparation training and job placement. 4. To improve antisocial attitudes and problem solving skills among gang-involved youth through the Aggression Replacement Training Program (A.R.T). 12 e e e Gang Prevention Coordinator-Grant 13 Outcome statistics and performance measures are easily quantifiable. Records will consist of referral forms and risk assessments. Documentation will be maintained on youth who are enrolled in the E.N.T.E.R program. Including attendance, weekly progress reviews, achievement reports, and probation compliance records. The Probation Department maintains an extensive case management and informational system, Caseload Explorer, which is a data collection and automated case management reporting system. Program performance will be measure by analyzing pre and post-program participant surveys issued to measure participants' perceptions, knowledge development, and post completion goal identification. Secondary informational will be assessed as well. Academic performance records: Academic progress reports, report cards, attendance records, and High School Exit Exam practice test, as well as tutoring progress reports. Employment training and job placement progress will be measured through pre and post surveys, which assess knowledge and knowledge retention. Moreover, placements in jobs, vocational training programs, and sustaining employment will be reviewed at six- month intervals to determine how long youth are retaining employment or advancing from entry level positions. Recidivism rates will be measured by assessing participant progress at one, two and four month intervals to determine "free from custody" status at the aforementioned intervals. 13 e e e Gang Prevention Coordinator-Grant 14 ProjectlProgram Design and Implementation E.N.T.E.R will be a multi-agency collaborative program, with the each key agency contributing personnel and resources. The San Bernardino County Probation Department will be responsible for developing the client participation criteria, the 16-week program schedule, and providing supervision during the classes. In addition, the Probation department will collect statistical pre and post-test data and complete all statistical reports. Client case management services: Orientations, home and school visits, court reports and client sanctions will also be the responsibility of the Probation department. Services that have an associated cost such as tutoring and homework support shall be funded through Probation and paid per contract agreement with service providers to avoid passing on costs to program participants. Trained instructors in three program components: Parent Project, Choosing Success, and Aggression Replacement Training (A.R.T) will be trained and provided at probation expense. The Probation Department will target youth, ages 13 to 18 years of age, who reside in the city of San Bernardino to participate in the E.N.T.E.R. program. Potential participants will be on formal probation, have a history of gang membership and/or significant gang mem bership, and exhibit a pattern of poor academic achievement and school attendance. Additional participation criteria may include an identified history of generational gang membership within the family, a history of potentially violent or violent offenses, and exhibit a risk of being return to custody or being committed to the California Youth Authority. Participants will be referred to the program upon release from juvenile detention facilities or upon promotion from an out-of-home placement program. 14 e e e Gang Prevention Coordinator-Grant 15 A program team will screen potential participants: Probation Officer, Supervising Probation Officer, and a Probation Corrections Officer. Aside from the aforementioned criteria, the panel shall review the most recent court dispositional report, Probation risk assessment, school records, and protective factors associated with the probationers' return to community-based supervision. Collaborating agencies will provide services as part of the E.N.T.E.R program through a series of program components, supportive services, and outreach techniques that will be provided to program participants, unless otherwise noted as follows: . Arrowhead Regional Medical Center (ARMC), Outpatient Services will provide free tattoo removal services to juveniles, age 15-18 years, participants will have two years from the date of referral to complete the program. Clients referred by their Probation case manager will receive free services. . A Superior Court Judge from San Bernardino County will facilitate the role of the courts in response to gang related crimes, protection of victims and roles and responsibilities in the justice system. . Personnel from the Child Support Services Division will facilitate a component describing the legal obligations to provide child support, provide information about how to access parent assistance with child support filings, financial information, and request for decrease in payments for those unable to meet support requirements. 15 Gang Prevention Coordinator-Grant 16 e . · Personnel from the District Attorney's Office will participate by providing three components from different units within their agency. I. Personnel from the Hardcore and Career Criminal Prosecution Unit will facilitate sessions describing the legal and civil consequences of gang involvement, and the elements of Penal Code Section 186.22 (p.C. Section that outline the penalties for gang enhancements, registration, etc.), and provide an overview of gang injunctions. 2. Personnel from the Victim's Witness Advocate Unit along community- based victim's group will present personal testimonies about the effects of gang involved crime on victims and their surviving family members. As part of the victims impact component may write apology letters to their victims. 3. Personnel from the Lets End Truancy (L.E.T), a division within the San Bernardino County District Attorney's Office-Juvenile Division will facilitate a component about the legal, social, and financial impact of truancy on communities, families, and students. This section will offer a separate class for parents and/or legal guardians and care providers. Personnel from the Public Defender's Office will facilitate a component on the impact of Proposition 21, the Juvenile Violent Offender Act on the Juvenile Justice system and juvenile offenders. e e . Personnel from the San Bernardino Employment and Training Agency (SBETA) will facilitate employment-training components. The employment training section will consists of five components: locating employment opportunities, application 16 Gang Prevention Coordinator-Grant 17 e and preparation, interviewing and self-presentation techniques, mock interview video session, and how to establish a positive work history. . Private provider tutors, contracted through Probation, with general fund monies will provide subject specific tutoring services and high school exit exam preparation workshops. . Various community-based, faith-based, and state organizations and programs will provide informational' presentations about opportunities offered through programs available within their agencies. Participating agencies will include, but will not be limited to Victory Outreach, Young Visionaries, PAL Center (ROP), Computers For Kids Foundation, Job Core and California Conservation. e . The probation department will provide program oversight, case management services for participants, and instructors for the A.R. T, Parent Project, and provided to parents of program participants, who will complete the Parent Project juvenile component, Choose Success and the A.R.T program. The partnership is committed to addressing gang violence through the provlSlon of intervention services, which address the issues of gang involvement. The program is currently not staffed due to a lack of funding needed to assign two full-time personnel to the program. Although E.N.T.E.R, formally known as GRASP, was implemented, the program ended after three years. The program will be sustained beyond the grant term through a reduction in personnel. The program would be returned to the previous operating structure: One Probation Officer and one Probation Corrections Officer. e However, the status of the program would remam the same through increased 17 e e e Gang Prevention Coordinator-Grant 18 collaborations, implementing existing schedules, and coordinated services that were enhanced and/or developed during the grant term. Leveraged resources, cash, and in-kind resources from the City, the Probation department and local sources are numerous. Each collaborating agency will provide personnel to conduct workshops, provide written materials, and classroom space (as needed) at no cost to the lead agency. Probation will dedicate a full-time Probation officer to the program, a position that will be paid through probation funding. In addition, a percentage of the Supervising Probation Officers time will be dedicated to providing day-to-day supervision of the E.N.T.E.R program: development, implementation, and post grant award program management. A percentage of clerical support services will be paid at probation expense and contributed to the program as well. There will be extensive grant matches through personnel, equipment, and day-to-day program needs between the City and County (detailed budget narrative). Management and Organizational Capability The Mayor's Office has an existing working relationship with probation. Kurt Wilson from the Mayor's office will serve as a liaison between the agencies and the community and will manage the project. Kimberly Epps, a Supervising Probation Officer, will provide direct supervision of the Probation officer supported by this grant, and the additional Probation officer, Probation Corrections officer, and clerical support staff leveraged as a match through probation funding to support the program. 18 Gang Prevention Coordinator-Grant 19 e Kurt Wilson was appointed by the Mayor to lead the Office of Community Safety and Violence Prevention. He is a former elected official with a lengthy background in both the public and private sectors. He is an experienced manager with 2 masters degrees and an array of both academic and professional credentials. Kimberly Epps has 17 years experience with probation, including five years as a Senior Probation Officer.

The proposed Probation Officers and probation Corrections Officer are experienced e officers with proven competence. Their responsibilities include direct contact with probationers and at-risk youth to insure that they comply with the law and court-ordered terms of probation. Supervising Probation Officer Epps will oversee this effort and the program will be monitored and coordinated by Director Kurt Wilson. The San Bernardino County Probation Department has over 600 sworn Probation Officers. These officers administer programs or provide supervision for approximately 3,800 juvenile offenders and 14,000 adult offenders throughout the County of San Bernardino. The population grew approximately 20% from 1990 to 1,709,434 in 2000. Census figures from 2000 also show 236,800 juveniles between the ages of 10 and 17 residing in the county.
