• Presentence Investigations: The Adult Investigations Unit prepares adult presentence investigative reports and other documents for all felonies and some misdemeanor cases following a conviction. The probation officer’s primary goal is to provide an accurate and thorough investigation for the Court to determine an appropriate sentence. These reports include the circumstances of the offense, terms of plea, background of the defendant, victim statements, aggravating and mitigating circumstances and a discussion on the recommendation to assist the court in a sentencing decision. The focus on the report is the protection of the community, rehabilitation to offenders and compensation to victims. • This unit also provides Prop 63 reports pursuant to Penal Code Section 29810. Upon conviction of a felony and certain misdemeanor offenses, the Court provides the defendant with a Prohibited Persons Relinquishment Form at the time of conviction advising the defendant to comply with the law. The Court also assigns the matter to the Probation Department to investigate whether or not the defendant owns, possesses, or has under his or her custody or control of any firearms. • Pretrial Supervision: In April 2021, the Probation Department implemented a pretrial release program.
