Adult Field Division
Tailored Supervision and Support for Post-Sentencing Offenders
Field Supervision Programs
The Probation Department utilizes diverse supervision strategies after sentencing to provide opportunities and hold offenders accountable to court orders. Offenders are assessed using the Correctional Assessment and Intervention System (CAIS) Risk and Needs Assessment to identify their individual principal service needs and target underlying issues that may hinder offenders’ success. The assessment also outlines strategies to best manage the supervision relationship between Probation Officers and offenders to increase supervision opportunities.
1170 & Post Release Community Supervision (PRCS) Unit
The PRCS and 1170 unit is comprised of officers who supervise individuals after release from state prison or sentenced to local prison pursuant to Penal Code Section 1170(h). These officers implore enhanced supervision strategies and evidence-based practices to address this unique and high-risk population of offenders.
678 Unit
The 678 unit utilizes evidence-based supervision practices to assist in the rehabilitatation process of justice-involved individuals who have been granted a term of probation. The team currently supervises 1,000 medium to high-risk offenders in Tulare County.
Limited Supervision (LSU) Unit
The Tulare County Probation Department, Adult Transition Unit (ATU), was re-established in May 2023, in an effort to adopt evidence-based transitional strategies to help reintegrate justice involved individuals’ successful transition back into their communities. Partnerships in reentry efforts include the Tulare County Sheriff’s Office (TCSO) Programs, GEO Reentry Services, and community-based organizations through the Probation Connections Center.
The ATU will review the individual’s terms and conditions of the Court and establish reporting instructions. Risk Needs assessments will be conducted and the results will be shared with the partners to determine supervision dosage and assignment of appropriate treatment plans. Once referrals have been made and initial appointments are completed, the individuals will be reassigned to a supervision officer for compliance monitoring.

Specialty Supervision Units
Probation collaborates with our justice partners to provide specialty supervision for offenders with specific convictions. These units include the Sex Offender Unit, Domestic Violence Unit, Driving Under the Influence Unit, and the Adult Electronic Monitoring Unit. Officers utilize evidence-based supervision practices and enforce law related to registration and rehabilitative treatment to address the underlying behaviors associated with these offender groups.
Jurisdictional Transfers (1203.9) Unit
If an offender resides or moves to another County within the state of California, their adult probation case jurisdiction can be transferred to the County of residence when certain criteria is met under Penal Code section 1203.9-Jurisdictional Transfers. By transferring the jurisdiction, the power to make legal decisions and judgments can be made by the agencies where offenders reside permanently. Additionally, offenders benefit from supervision opportunities available locally, within their county of residence to address their individual needs.
Interstate Compact (ICOTS)
If a probationer must move across state lines, an Interstate Compact between the states would permit the offender to reside in the new state and transfer authority of their supervision to the state of residence. Although the jurisdiction does not transfer, offenders under ICOTS have the opportunity to remain in compliance with their probation terms from the original state while benefiting from services available within the state that they reside.
