The State of California enacted historic criminal justice system changes in 2011 by passing what is commonly called Public Safety Realignment (i.e., AB 109 and AB 117). As a result, in the first six months of Realignment, over 38,000 individuals who would have been supervised by the State in prisons or on parole prior to these changes were instead being supervised and housed in jails by local county probation and sheriff departments. To respond to these changes, localities have created collaborative decision-making bodies known as Community Corrections Partnerships (CCPs), chaired by the county Probation Chief. These bodies bring together county and other agencies to develop local fiscal and strategic policies, based on local needs and resources. CCPs assist jurisdictions by ensuring that justice agencies work together in the creation of county plans, and by supporting the delivery of practices that have been scientifically shown to improve public safety.

The Nevada County Community Correction Partnership (CCP) kicked off a strategic planning effort late last year. An important part of that effort includes getting feedback from the community. We have developed a Citizen Survey, designed to collect the community's thoughts and perspectives on what the CCP can do to improve its performance. Your input is an important part of the County's ongoing effort to involve citizens in long-range planning and budget decisions. Please take a few minutes to complete this survey.
