BACKGROUND:
On February 13, 2018, the Board of Supervisors referred to the Public Protection Committee (PPC) a review of the production of the County's Multiagency Juvenile Justice Plan. Submittal of this plan is a condition of receiving annual Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act (JJCPA) and Youthful Offender Block Grant (YOBG) funds. In 2018, the PPC accepted an introductory report on the County's Multiagency Juvenile Justice Plan, including a summary of the Juvenile Justice Commission (JJC), the Delinquency Prevention Commission (DPC) and the Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council (JJCC). During the meeting, the Committee noted that the County has two advisory bodies that are charged with similar duties; specifically, the DPC and the JJCC. They directed staff to return to the Board of Supervisors to combine the functions of the DPC and JJCC.
On December 4, 2018, the Board of Supervisors introduced Ordinance 2018-30, which dissolved the DPC and adopted Resolution 2018/597 increasing the size of the JJCC to 19 members and designating the JJCC the body to coordinate county-wide juvenile delinquency prevention activities. The adoption of the ordinance and resolution effectuated the dissolution of the DPC.
On August 17, 2026, the PPC received the annual update report from Chief Probation Officer, Esa Ehmen-Krause. The Committee requested to have the Probation Department present the JJCC update to the full Board of Supervisors before the end of the calendar year and when convenient for the Department.
