I THINK THE HEADQUARTERS STAFF
THAT I KNOWLEDGE EARLIER. AND
LASTLY I WANT TO THANK THE
TWENTY THREE HUNDRED EMPLOYEES
THAT ARE IN DOUBT GO.
THEY THEY DO A A TREMENDOUSLY
DIFFICULT JOB.
EVERY DAY FIFTEEN HUNDRED OF
THOSE EMPLOYEES ARE FRONTLINE.
PAROLE AGENTS.
THEY WORK WITH FIFTY THOUSAND OF
THE HIGHEST RISK HIGHEST NEED
SERIOUS AND VIOLENT OFFENDERS IN
OUR STATE.
THEY PERFORM A REMARKABLY HIGH
REMARKABLE HIGH WIRE BALANCING
ACT BETWEEN OFFENDER NEEDS IN

AND COMMUNITY SAFETY. WHILE
LOOKING THROUGH A PUBLIC SAFETY
LANDS THERE'S CALIFORNIA'S EVER
CHANGING CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM.
I ASKED THEM TO ENGAGE WITH AN

TRAINING. EXPERIENCE AND
JUDGMENT. TO DECIDE WHICH
OFFENDERS REMAIN IN OUR SOCIETY.
AND THOSE WHO ARE RETURNED TO
CUSTODY.
KNOWING FULL WELL THAT THEIR
DECISIONS WILL NOT ALWAYS RESULT.
GIVE ME IN SUCCESSFUL OUTCOMES.
AND SOME OF THOSE OUTCOMES IN
THEIR ACTIONS AND DECISIONS WILL
BE SCRUTINIZED.
UNDER AN INTENSE MEDIA AND
SOCIAL MEDIA SPOTLIGHT. THEY DO
THIS EVERY DAY. IN THE DEAL WITH
INTEGRITY AND PROFESSIONALISM.
IT IS CERTAINLY MY HONOR AND
PRIVILEGE TO BE THEIR DIRECTOR.
AND THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS MISTER
CHAIR YOU'RE MUCH OF HIS POWERS
SO WE'LL GO TO QUESTIONS.
COMMENTERS FOR THE MEMBERS WHEN
WE START TO WITH THE MISLABELED.
THANK YOU MR PRO TEM GOOD
AFTERNOON MISTER POWERS. ENJOYED
MEETING WITH YOU YESTERDAY I
THINK WE HAD A GOOD DISCUSSION
ABOUT WHAT YOUR JOB LOOKS LIKE
AND.
AND WHEN WOULD DIFFICULT TOPIC
IT CAN BE.
YOU TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT
THE SUFFICIENT SERVICES ARM FOR
PAROLEES AND AND LACK THERE OF
CAN YOU GO INTO A LITTLE BIT OF
DETAIL ABOUT THAT AND. AND WHAT
IT IS YOU THINK THEY NEED WHAT
SERVICES ARE THEY LACKING. WELL
THANK YOU.
WE WE'RE WE'RE GROWING IN PART
IN PERL POPULATION.
THERE'S NEVER GOING TO BE A
ENOUGH SLOTS BOMB FOR EVERYONE
IN OUR SYSTEM OF REGARDLESS OF
WHAT SYSTEM WE ARE WE'RE
REFERRING TO.
.
THE THE THE THE KEY COMPONENTS
FOR FOR OFFENDERS TO REINTEGRATE
BACK INTO OUR COMMUNITIES ARE
STABLE HOUSING.
AND AND JOBS. MEANINGFUL
EMPLOYMENT.
WHEN WE HAVE OFFENDERS COME OUT.
AND WE CAN PUT THEM INTO JOBS
AND WE CAN PUT THEM INTO A
STABLE.
LIVING ENVIRONMENT THE
RECIDIVISM IS SIGNIFICANTLY
LOWER THAN THOSE WHO COME OUT
WHO ARE TRANSIENT WHO DON'T HAVE
A MEANS TO SUPPORT THEMSELVES.
AND THOSE TYPES OF THINGS.
SO ONE OF THE THOUGH FIRST
THINGS I DID AS I BECAME
DIRECTOR OF DAPPLE WAS TO. MEET
WITH THE RP.
STAFF. AND STRESS THE
IMPORTANCE OF EXPANDING ON ON
THOSE TRANSITIONAL PROGRAMS THAT
WE HAVE IN THE COMMUNITIES THE
DAY REPORTING CENTERS THAT THE
TRANSITIONAL HOUSING FOR LONG
TERM OFFENDERS TO EXPAND THOSE
BEDS.
SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE PAROLEES
WHO DON'T HAVE A STABLE PLACE TO
GO EVERY NIGHT WHO HAVE TWO
COUNTS OR FRUIT WHO ARE LIVING
IN. IN INTENT CAMPS ARE THINGS
LIKE THAT.
WE'VE WORKED WITH OF. THE LOCAL
WORK FORCE OR THE THE STATE
LEVEL WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT
BOARD TO. ENSURE THAT GOING
FORWARD PAROLEES AND
PROBATIONERS WILL BE
INCORPORATED INTO THE FOURTEEN.
AREAS OF OF.
THE THE STATE PLANNED EACH ONE
OF THOSE FOURTEEN AREAS WILL
WILL HAVE.
EX OFFENDERS AS AS OF A
POPULATION OF EMPHASIS TO
ADDRESS THE THE EMPLOYMENT GAP
THAT WE HAVE.
SO YOU KNOW WE NEED MORE
SUBSIDIES TREATMENT PROGRAMS. WE
NEED MORE HOUSING WE NEED MORE
JOB TRAINING.
WE'RE WORKING ON IN EACH OF
THOSE AREAS. AS I SAID IN SOME
OF THE RESPONSES TO MOVE TO THE
STRUGGLE WITH CITING SOME OF
THESE.
.
THEY'RE SOMETIMES RESISTANCE TO
TO ESTABLISHING SOME OF THESE
PROGRAMS.
BUT COMING FROM FROM THE LOCAL
LEVEL AS AS I HAVE I'M HOPING
THAT THOSE RELATIONSHIPS WILL
HELP US TO KIND OF.
WORK THROUGH SOME OF THOSE
ISSUES OKAY VERY GOOD SO I
HOUSING FIRST MODEL HE HAD A K.
GOT IT. WE ALSO TALKED A LITTLE
BIT A BIT ABOUT MEDICARE NOW AND
MY QUESTION WAS HOW DO WE MAKE
SURE THAT THE POLICE KNOW THAT
THEY HAVE ACCESS TO MEDICAL AND
YOU WERE GOING TO TRY AND FIND
THAT. DO YOU HAVE AN ANSWER IT
THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION YOU
ASKED WAS WAS BRILLIANTLY SIMPLE.
WHICH IS THE BEST KIND OF
QUESTION WHICH WAS OKAY SO WE
HAVE NINETY PERCENT OF THESE
OFFENDERS WHO COME OUT. AND ARE
SIGNED UP FOR KIT FOR MEDICARE
I'LL. WHAT DAN DO WE TEACH THEM
HOW TO ACCESS THE SERVICE WE
GIVEN THE THE ELIGIBILITY TO GET
A CARD BUT DO THEY ACTUALLY KNOW
HOW TO GO GET IT? WHICH WAS A
GREAT QUESTION THAT.
ANSWER QUESTION THAT I DIDN'T
HAVE AN ANSWER TO SO I WENT BACK
IN AND WE DID CHECK.
OUR STAFF ACTUALLY GIVE THE
PAROLEES A A LOCATION SPECIFIC
PACKET THAT HAS THE TREATMENT
PROVIDERS IN THEIR AREA THAT
THEY'RE PAROLED TO. ARM AND THEN
OBVIOUSLY AS THEY REPORT TO THE
PAROLE AGENTS IN THE OFFICES
THOSE THOSE AGENTS ALSO HAVE
THAT INFORMATION SO.
I WOULD SAY THAT ES WE ARE
DOING MORE THAN JUST TELLING
THEM THEY'RE ELIGIBLE FOR THE
SERVICES WE ARE GIVEN THE
RESOURCES. NOW THAT DOESN'T
NECESSARILY MEAN THAT THAT
PACKET STAYS WITH THEM IN
PERPETUITY SO THAT'S WHY WE ALSO
HAVE THAT THE AGENTS OF. ABLE TO
WIDE TO GUIDE THEM AS WELL GREAT
GOOD ANSWER THANK YOU VERY MUCH
NO FURTHER QUESTIONS MISTER
PROTESTS.
OBVIOUSLY THE SECONDS.
Q. MR PRO TEM. AND THANK YOU SO
MUCH FOR BEING HERE AND I'M
SORRY WERE BIT LATE.
CAN I ASK IN TERMS OF THE THE.
OFFICES THE FACILITIES FIFTY TWO
OFFICES COVERING CALIFORNIA WHAT
COUNTIES DON'T HAVE AN OFFICE IS
THIS AN ISSUE OR BARRIER TO.
TO PAROLEES WELL.
I'M SURE YOU'RE NOT GONNA BE
SURPRISED WHEN I SAY THAT WITH
THE FAR AND THE MOST RURAL
NORTHERN COUNTIES WE HAVE A
REGIONAL APPROACH TO THAT SO YOU
MAY HAVE ONE OFFICE THAT SERVES
SEVERAL COUNTIES IN THE NORTHERN
REGION. BOMB ONE OF THE THINGS
THAT I'VE I'VE PUSHED ON SINCE I
BECAME THE DIRECTOR IS.
EXACTLY TO YOUR POINT WHICH IS
THE LOCATION OF THE OFFICES THAT
IS ADS ARE MORE CRITICAL THAN
THE QUANTITY OF OFFICES.
FOR INSTANCE IN LOS ANGELES WE
HAVE AN OFFICE. NEAR DOWNTOWN
ALAMEDA IT'S ON ALAMEDA THAT.
SIX THOUSAND PAROLEES ARE
ASSIGNED TO ARM THAT'S A MEGA
OFFICE FRANKLY IT'S NOT WELL
PLACED.
I'M TO SERVE THEM. AND AND WHAT
HAPPENED WAS WHEN PAROLE WAS
DOWNSIZED BECAUSE OF A B. ONE OR
NINE. OFFICES HAD TO BE CLOSED
BECAUSE WE HAVE FEWER PAROLEES
AND.
SOME OF THOSE OFFICES THAT WERE
CLOSE WERE CLOSE BASED ON LEASES
EXPIRING VERSUS WHAT THE
FUNCTIONAL. REASON WAS TO DO IT
SO. WE'VE ENGAGED WITH WITH THE
PART OF FINANCE AND INTERNALLY
TO TO LOOK AT THE LOCATION OF
THE OFFICES THE SIZE. MAYBE WE
DON'T NEED A MEDICAL OFFICE
WOULD BE BETTER OFF WITH THREE
REGIONAL OFFICES SO THAT. NOT
JUST THE PAROLEES BUT THE AGENTS
DON'T HAVE TO TRAVEL AS FAR TO
GET INTO THE OFFICE. TO THEN
TURN AROUND AND GO BACK OUT IN
THE FIELD IN THOSE KINDS OF
THINGS SO THAT THE FOCUS OF
TRYING TO BE MORE STRATEGIC
ATHLETES TO TAKE THE SERVICES.
CLOSER TO THE TO THOSE PEOPLE
WHO USE THEM YEAH RIGHT. AND SO
ARE AT LEAST IN OUR AREA I'VE
HEARD FROM THE VA THAT THEY ARE
HAVING TROUBLE FINDING AND.
PSYCHIATRISTS AND PSYCHOLOGISTS
ARE YOU HAVE AN AN ISSUE WITH
THAT TYPE OF STAFFING.
NOT IN THE PEROT ON THE PAROLE
SIDE I BELIEVE ON THE
INSTITUTIONAL SIDE THAT'S THAT'S
A STRUGGLE OF THAT HAS BEEN A
STRUGGLE BUT I CAN'T SPEAK TO
THAT DIRECTLY BUT ON THE. ON THE
PAROLE SIDE I THINK WE'RE DOING
OKAY IN THAT AREA A CALM.
ACCESSING SERVICES. IS THE IN
THE COMMUNITIES CAN BE DIFFICULT
AND IRA QUESTION OFFICES YOU
HAVE TWO OFFICES IN SAN DIEGO
FRANKLY. I THINK YOU SHOULD HAVE
A THIRD OUT YOUR EAST COUNTY
AREA.
BECAUSE AGAIN WE'VE GOT
ESCONDIDO TO THE NORTH IN CHULA
VISTA TO THE SOUTH BUT.
SO WE'VE GOT INDIVIDUALS COMING
FROM EAST SAINT EAGLE COUNTY.
TO THE TO THE FURTHEST REGIONS
AND I THINK THAT'S A GOOD
EXAMPLE OF. OF HAVING THE THE
OFFICES MORE APPROPRIATELY OKAY.
SO ON ARM AND I'M SO NOT
SURPRISED TO HEAR HOUSING IS THE
BIGGEST ISSUE IT'S. IT'S
CERTAINLY SOMETHING I'VE WORKED
ON IN SAN DIEGO AND WHEN WE DO
THE POINT IN TIME COUNT. AND
FIND OUT WHO'S ON THE STREET
WITH HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS IS A
HGE PROBLEM.
ARE THEIR BEST PRACTICES THAT
YOU'RE AWARE OF. ARM FOR. SEX
OFFENDER PAROLEES BECAUSE THAT
SEEMS TO BE I MEAN WE HAVE A
PROBLEM WITH HOUSING JUST
GENERALLY AND AFTER A B. ONE OH
NINE. YOU KNOW I THOUGHT A
POSITIVE IMPACT WOULD BE THAT
SHARE OF SING COUNTIES WOULD BE
MORE INTERESTED IN DOING HOUSING.
BECAUSE THEY WOULD HAVE THEIR
OWN. ODD.
FOLKS DID THE RIGHT STAKE IN THE
GROUND AND THE POOR AND THE
PROBATION THERE. AND THEY'RE
STRUGGLING SO.
BUT AS IT RELATES TO THIS OTHER
POPULATION OF PEOPLE.
WITCHER HARDEST OF THE HARDEST
A HOUSE.
ARE THEIR BEST PRACTICES YOU'RE
AWARE OF ANYWHERE IN THE COUNTRY
THAT HELPS US.
THERE IS.
NOT REALLY. THAT I'M AWARE OF I
SPENT EN YEARS ON THE SEX
OFFENDER MANAGEMENT BOARD SO WE
YOU KNOW WE WE WERE EXPOSED TO A
LOT OF. PROMISING PRACTICES NOT
SO PROMISING PRACTICES YOU KNOW
BAD PRACTICES. ARM WE'VE GOT
ABOUT SIX THOUSAND SEX OFFENDERS
WHO ARE ON GPS MONITORING UNDER
UNDER PAROLE SUPERVISION IN
CALIFORNIA. WE STRUGGLE WITH
WITHOUT WITH FINDING COMPLIANT
HOUSING FOR THEM. AND WE HAVE
ALWAYS STRUGGLED CERTAINLY PRIOR
TO MY TIME AND. AND.
FOR MANY YEARS PREVIOUS TO THAT
IT'S NOT AN EASY POPULATION AND
THEN IF YOU HAVE. A SEX OFFENDER
WHO HAS MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES ON
TOP OF IT OR HEALTH ISSUES.
.
TO TRY AND FIND PROGRAMS THAT
ADDRESS THEM THAT ARE ALSO
COMPLIANT. WITH SEX OFFENDER
ISSUES IS DOUBLY DIFFICULT.
SO IT IN TERMS OF.
THE LACK OF.
I WOULD SAY RESOURCES FOR THE
HOUSING THE COMMUNITY BASED
SERVICES. IT SEEMS LIKE WHEN WE
DID A BE ONE ON ON.
WE WANTED TO GIVE FLEXIBILITY
AND RESOURCES BACK TO THE LOCAL
COMMUNITIES. BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE
BUDGETARY EARLY WE TOOK AWAY TOO
MUCH FROM YOUR SYSTEM.
I. BECAUSE YOU'RE STRUGGLING TO
GET THE RESOURCES AND THE MONEY.
WELL I I DON'T KNOW THAT IT'S
MONEY AS MUCH AS WE STRUGGLE IN
A IN A COUPLE OF WAYS NUMBER ONE
WAS. BUT YOU KNOW WE WE HAD
THIRTY FIVE PRISONS THAT THAT
WITHIN CDC ARE WE WERE TRYING TO
STAND UP PROGRAMS ACROSS ALL
PRISONS WHICH WAS ALL CONSUMING
FRANKLY FOR DRP. THEY WERE FOR
THING YOU'RE REALLY FOCUSED ON
THAT SO PAROLE BEING. A SMALL
PART OF THAT WASN'T NECESSARILY
AT THE TOP OF THE WISH LIST WHEN
IT CAME TIME FOR ESTABLISHING
PROGRAMS. ARM THE THE OTHER PART
OF IT FRANKLY AS WE ALSO
STRUGGLE WITH SOME NEW IDEAS AND
ISSUES ARM AND I WILL TELL YOU
PROBATION STRUGGLES WITH THAT
ISN'T AS WELL AS AS PAROLE. ARM
SO IT WHEN IT COMES TO FIGHTING
WE'VE ACTUALLY HAD CONTRACTS
READY TO EXECUTE THAT WE HAVE
NOT BEEN ABLE TO PULL OFF
BECAUSE OF OF PUSH BACK BOMB.
YOU KNOW WE'RE EXPANDING IN DAY
REPORTING CENTERS AND AND THOSE
KINDS OF THINGS. A LOT OF IT I
THINK IF IF WE DO SOME.
QUALITY OUTRAGE AND WORKING WITH
THE LOCALS.
I I THINK WE CAN ADDRESS SOME
OF THOSE BUT YOU KNOW THERE'S
THAT INITIAL.
NARROW YOU'RE GOING TO PUT
THESE PEOPLE IN MY COMMUNITY AND
TYPICALLY OUR RESPONSE IS NO
THEY'RE ALREADY IN YOUR
COMMUNITY RIGHT WE WE NEED TO
PROVIDE SOME TREATMENT FOR THAT.
AND MAKE IT SAFER FOR THEM TO BE
IN YOUR COMMUNITY.
SO YOU MENTIONED IN YOUR
COMMENTS WITH A NUMBER OF THE
RULES COMMITTEE STAFF MEMBERS.
ARE SEVERAL COLLABORATIVE
PROJECTS THAT YOU'VE INITIATED
ALONG WITH COUNTY PARTNERS WHAT
DO YOU BELIEVE TO BE THE MOST
PROMISING AND AND PARTICULARLY
IN REGARDS TO SCALABILITY. WE
HAVE WE HAVE A A JOINTLY
OPERATED DAY REPORTING CENTER UP
IN PEW COUNTY THAT HAS HAD SOME
JUST SOME PHENOMENAL OUTCOME.
NUMBERS FROM THEM.
AND WE ARE IN THE PROCESS WHEN I
SAY WE DRP I MEAN THE COLLECTOR
CDC ARE WEAK. ARM ARE IN THE
PROCESS OF OF.
DOING THE SAME SORT OF MODEL
WITH SEVERAL OTHER COUNTIES OUT
THERE AS WELL TO.
KINDA LEVERAGE THE FACILITIES
THE PROGRAMS THAT PROBATION IS
ALREADY PUT IN PLACE AND PUT OUR
OUR PAROLEES INTO THOSE PROGRAMS
AS WELL SO WE'VE JOINTLY OPERATE
IN AND CITIES ARE WILL PROVIDE
OUR PORTION OF THE FUNDING FOR
IT. I THINK IT'S A GREAT MODEL.
