Judge's Comments - Judge Mayberry brought to the attention of the JJDPC that new
laws are going into effect (AB1367) January 1, 2026 pertaining to wards of the court.
Wardship ends at 1 year unless a request is made by Probation to extend.
Guerrero asked how this will impact kids currently in the system that are already at or
over 1 year?
Judge Mayberry mentioned there is a meeting scheduled with associated parties
(Probation, DA, PD, APD) to discuss this further and work out the logistics but cases will
need to be reviewed . There are exclusions to this new law. More information on this to
come.

Interim Chief Probation Officer – Kaci Smith
Probation is currently working on several items:
CalAIM mandate -Implementation due date is October of 2026. A lot of work going into
partnerships and collaboration and contracts to implement.
Prop 47 – State funds for transitional services and treatment – awarded $8mil – build out
the program to re imagine our Community Corrections Center (CCC) - expand services
and an increase in population.
With the County Retirement Incentive Plan (RIP) several Probation Officers are retiring. A
lot of experience leaving with these retirements but also an opportunity for growth.
Several of these retirements are in leadership and supervisor roles. There will be a lag
time with hiring and training – manage expectations during this transition. Currently
there are approx. 42 applications for DPO working through the hiring process.
As per the 12/9/25 BOS meeting, the CPO position will now be appointed by the Board
of Supervisors and not the Courts. The CPO MQs are being reviewed by HR then will go
back to the BOS for approval before moving forward with the recruitment process for
this position.
Currently the Probation Department located at Durock Rd in Shingle Springs is being
redesigned to accommodate more officers. Lack of space has a growing problem and
concern. The County has no funding available for additional space so working to
redesign the space to fit additional work stations. This is underway and will continue
through the holidays.
