Probation Juvenile Hall Budget Unit 1100234
DISCUSSION:
Over the last few years Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS), wildfires, and adverse weather conditions and events have caused the Probation Department to closely review the department's existing Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP). One of the challenges identified was the Juvenile Hall. Probation is mandated to operate a juvenile hall; however, in the event of a forced evacuation there is no local suitable secure facility into which staff can move youth. The best available options are contiguous counties. To that end, Humboldt County Probation has previously entered into a mutual aid agreement with Mendocino County Probation and is now also seeking to enter into a mutual aid agreement with Shasta County Probation. The agreements are mutual, meaning that Humboldt County would also receive Shasta County youth in the event of a disaster forcing evacuation there.
