Esteemed Probation Employees, Key Stakeholders & Community Partners:

I am pleased to present VISION 2023 -- the Alameda County Probation Department’s Five-Year Strategic Plan webpage. This Plan aligns with the County’s Vision 2026 and reflects the Department’s commitment to making our communities the safest in the nation. Further, it supports our vision of providing compassionate supervision to justice-involved youth and adults by providing effective rehabilitative services.

This Plan was developed by a Strategic Planning Committee (Committee), consisting of a cross-section of Department employees and union representatives, over the course of seven months. As part of the process, the Committee conducted research; solicited focus group, executive management, and external stakeholder input; considered the Alameda County 2016–17 Grand Jury Report; and reviewed staff survey responses. The final product is robust and a culmination of our shared vision of service, our community partnerships, and public safety.
