 Temporary work restrictions that prevent them from doing the job
 Out on Industrial Accident (IA) Totally Temporarily Disabled (TTD)
o Internal Investigation Pending
o Disciplinary Action Pending
● Failure to pass Field Probation Officer Core (FPOC) – 248 hour State
mandated training designed for all newly hired, transferred or promoted

officers assigned to Probation Field operations and must be successfully
completed with 12 months of appointment.

Recidivism Discussions
● PSRT has continued to work toward a common proposed definition for
recidivism in an effort to establish consistency in measuring justice
outcomes in the County.
● Recidivism definitions have been discussed at recent PSRT, CCJCC, and
Law Enforcement Subcommittee with consensus that components of the
CDCR recidivism definition should be used.

CDCR Definition of Recidivism
An individual convicted of a felony and incarcerated in a CDCR adult
institution who was released to parole, discharged after being paroled, or
directly discharged from CDCR during a defined time period (recidivism
cohort) and subsequently returned to prison during a specified follow-up
period (recidivism period).

19

Los Angeles County Probation Department

Recidivism Discussions
● Department feedback has also focused on the need to have common
definitions throughout the State. The Attorney General has expressed
interest in working on this effort.

31

LASD-BOS Motion (July 26, 2011)
Once absconders are identified:
● Each team’s Crime Analyst conducts a complete background
check utilizing numerous databases in an effort to locate past and
present addresses, associates, family members, and other details
which will lead our deputies to locate the absconders
● Many times, the addresses for the absconder are incorrect. PCT
deputies will utilize other methods to locate the PSP by finding a
phone number, vehicle license plate, or review past arrest reports
● Numerous man hours are generated to locate and address

absconders avoiding apprehension

32

LASD – Top 10
The Crime Analyst section
produces a Top 10 list

Mentally Disordered Offenders (MDO)
Five (5) individuals who were former MDOs are currently receiving services
in the community, having returned to jail with an average of two (2)
incarcerations each and an average length of jail stay of 54 days.
● One of these individuals is now employed and continues in outpatient
treatment.

● One individual had multiple 5150s, is currently incarcerated, conserved,
and pending admission to State Hospital at a cost of $250,000 annually.

36

Department of Mental Health
Three (3) individuals who are former MDOs are currently receiving housing
services through the Department’s IMD Step-downs. Step-down services
include case management, individual and group therapy, medication
management, and linkage.
The total cost of these three persons through 3/14/13 is $42,000 with an
average length of stay of 100 days to date. Cost for IMD step-down bed and
services is approximately $51,100 annually.
Emergent Issue:
Beginning July 1, 2013, revocations for state parolees will be heard in the
local Court system. Supervision and treatment services for state parolees
remain a state responsibility. Restructuring and downsizing of Parole
Outpatient Clinics may increase demand on county DMH services.

re-entry coalitions/partnerships, forums, and the CBO
representative to the PSRT to address re-entry related issues
