Assembly Bill 109, the 2011 Public Safety Realignment Act, was implemented on Octoberl,
2011. The bill transferred responsibility for the incarceration, treatment and supervision of
specified adult felons from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR)
to each county under the Post - release Community Supervision (PCS) program. Inmates eligible
for release to local jurisdictions for supervision under PCS must be:
• Currently incarcerated for non - violent and non - serious offenses;
• Released on parole and non - revocable parole; and
• Are not high -risk sex offenders.
At full implementation, it is estimated that 3,434 offenders will be supervised in Orange County.
Due to the increase of PCS individuals in Orange, the Police Department is working closely with
Orange County Probation to help manage these offenders. Orange County Probation has offered
their support with both manpower and financial resources. The objective is to closely monitor
these individuals by conducting four PCS sweeps during FYI 5. Each sweep will last four hours
and have three sergeants and twelve detectives assigned for each. Each sweep will cost
approximately $4,428 for a total of $26,569.34 for the fiscal year.
