The San Luis Obispo County Probation Department’s Victim Restoration Unit is in charge of enforcing the orders of the Courts through the collection of restitution and fines. It is vital and necessary to uphold the orders of the court and make the individuals who have committed crimes financially accountable in terms of fines, fees, and restitution and, to reimburse the County for expenses incurred as a result of criminal activity.
It is the intention of the Court that victims be made whole for any losses incurred. Representatives of the Victim Restoration Unit can assist victims in submitting claims for restitution to be assigned to those defendants granted probation.
