Background:
Sections 1203.016 and 1203.017 Penal Code (PC) lists it is the intent of the legislature that the home detention program (EMP) shall maintain the highest public confidence, credibility, and public safety. The Probation Department, on behalf of the Board of Supervisors, and in partnership with the Superior Court and Sheriff's Department, meet this intent by providing professional EMP services pursuant to the attached mission and goals.

Approve annual review of Adult Electronic Monitoring Program Rules and Regulations.
