OPERATION SAFE AT HOME
On March 25, 2022, the Santa Barbara County
Probation Department and the District Attorney's
Office collaborated to conduct county-wide
wellness checks on active Probation, PRCS, and
Pretrial clients. The operation covered the Santa
Maria, Orcutt, Lompoc, Santa Barbara, and Goleta
areas. The objective of the operation was to
perform wellness checks on active supervised
clients and their families. Wellness checks involve
the assessment of the living environment and the
needs of client and/or family members, in addition
to providing information on Probation and
community resources. Wellness baskets were
provided to the families and children to support
the wellbeing of those in the residence. The
combined effort was a success, which included 37
locations, 32 contacts, the distribution of 28
wellness baskets, 12 searches and no arrests. A
total of 15 DPOs and 3 District Attorney Victim
Witness Advocates participated.
