Check Out Placer's Probation Outreach Vehicle - Supervisor Bonnie Gore's September 2023 Newsletter
Placer County, California sent this bulletin at 09/29/2023 03:55 PM PDT
Dear Friends and Neighbors: The Placer County Probation Outreach Vehicle is a first-of-its-kind mobile probation office, courtroom and assessment center used to better meet the needs of the community and justice-involved people where they are. The Probation Outreach Vehicle is part of Placer County Probation’s broader efforts to foster deeper connections with the community while increasing services and accessibility to the people they serve to increase safety and stability. The Department has long been exploring ways to increase connections and efficiencies in the system. The worsening homelessness crisis and transportation barriers during COVID further underscored the need for an innovative approach. Department leaders jumped at the opportunity to enhance their services with a new, common-sense approach to public safety: bringing the services probation has to offer directly to the community members who have the most difficult time accessing them.

I spent time touring some of the areas in our community most impacted by homelessness with Probation Manager Aaron Johnson and his team. While only about 20% of homeless are on probation, the Outreach Vehicle has served as a vital part helping those residents stay in compliance with the terms of their probation and get the services they need. |
The program has also received many awards and recognitions and has been so successful in its implementation, the state of California passed legislation in 2022 to support other communities in adopting a similar program.
We cannot thank the men and women of our Probation team enough for the work they do serving and protecting our community. I encourage you to learn more about how our county is leading the way with the Probation Outreach Vehicle.
I hope you have a wonderful month and look forward to seeing you soon.
Sincerely,
Bonnie

A renewed community commitment to
fighting fentanyl
This week we observed National Opioid and Substance Awareness Day, a time to join neighbors across Placer County to continue our community conversation around the fentanyl crisis, which claimed the lives of 38 residents last year. Recently, the 1 Pill Can Kill Placer campaign announced a critical collaboration with Song for Charlie, the national family-run nonprofit charity dedicated to raising awareness about fake pills made from fentanyl, to distribute a new educational resource portal throughout Placer County.
The 1 Pill Can Kill Placer campaign is asking community members to take the Fighting Fentanyl Pledge to commit to using this new resource portal in their homes, schools and communities. By signing on to the pledge, participants will also be committing to continue the conversations with Placer County’s youth on the dangers of fentanyl.

Celebrate PlacerGROWN
Earlier this week, our Board of Supervisors declared October as PlacerGROWN Month in Placer County - a time to celebrate our local farmers and ranchers by purchasing locally grown agricultural products. Be sure to check out the event section below for special events featuring PlacerGROWN produce and products. This week also saw the release of our 2022 Crop Report. Though historic weather challenges and lower tree crop market prices contributed to a 12% decrease in the total gross value of agricultural crops and products in Placer County for 2022, our resilient agricultural community and the bounty they produced remained strong.
