6. Discussion and Background
In 2011, the Public Safety Realignment Act/Assembly Bill 109 (AB109) transferred the responsibility for managing and supervising adult felon offenders from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to each county under the Post Release Community Supervision (PRCS) program. AB109 helps mitigate the impact of longer sentences and is an alternative frequently used to transition inmates back into the community. Inmates eligible for release to local jurisdictions for supervision under PRCS must be:
• Currently incarcerated for non-violent and non-serious offenses
• Released on parole and non-revocable parole
• Are not high-risk sex offenders
The Police Department is working closely with Orange County Probation to help manage these offenders by conducting scheduled sweeps. The allocation amount of $85,855.93 to the City of Orange Police Department provides funding for public safety services during Fiscal Year 2023-2024.
