Adult SupervisionGroup Reporting2

An adult offender placed on probation by the Superior Court in Santa Barbara County is supervised out of the office nearest his/her home.  The area offices are located in Santa Barbara, Lompoc, and Santa Maria.  The level of supervision each person receives is based upon an evaluation of the probationer's risk to the community and services needed.  Probationers who present the highest risk to the community are given the most intensive supervision.

Adults released on probation in the community may have spent some time in the County Jail as a condition of probation and may be required to participate in drug and alcohol programs, treatment programs, counseling, vocational training and/or job placement programs.  A probationer may be contacted at home, on the job or in the community in addition, may be required to submit to drug testing and to permit search of his or her personal property for contraband.  The payment of fines and fees and/or restitution to victims is also an important part of supervision caseloads.
