Overview

Deputy Probation Officers (DPOs) assigned to the Juvenile Services Division or the Coastal Valley Academy (CVA) refer youth to a variety of programs and/or services. For quality assurance and ongoing statistical analysis and reporting, the Department tracks the status of each referral by use of Enrollments, Conditions, and Flags in Monitor.

Enrollments are listed by “Group” consisting of Programs and Referrals that are broken down into more specific detail under the “Type” and “Agency” dropdown menus. Depending on the specific Enrollment, Legal Clerks (LCs), DPOs or Supervising Deputy Probation Officers (SDPOs) are required to open and/or close an Enrollment. 

Conditions are added into Monitor by a LC when processing court orders. Depending on the specific condition, LCs or DPOs are required to close the condition.  

Flags are added into Monitor by LCs, DPOs, or SDPOs to alert officers of safety concerns, such as gang involvement or history of weapons. Flags also serve as reminders when DNA collection is required or to identify when a case has an override or is a paperless file. DPOs are required to close the Flags once the task has been completed or when the Flag is no longer relevant.
