“Cuts proposed to the Probation Department will make Sacramento the only County in California unable to supervise probationers, deal with victims, and provide an essential link in the public safety chain.
Crime Victims United is joining with Probation Officers in opposing these dangerous cuts.
Please call your Supervisor today and tell them to stop further cuts to Probation.”

Crime Victims United
27,000 criminals sentenced to probation in Sacramento County - for crimes like manslaughter, assault, child molestation, arson, burglary, and drug possession - will be largely unsupervised by probation officers if we don’t stop the cuts to the County Probation Department.
- We would be the only county in California with no probation officers in the field.
- More than 85% of juveniles and 99% of adults – including high risk offenders– would have no supervision.
- No more services for victims.
- Violates state Constitution and several state laws and will lead to costly lawsuits against the County.
Tell the Board of Supervisors:
No more cuts to Probation - It's too dangerous!
