SACRAMENTO, Calif. (October 10, 2025) – The Chief Probation Officers of California (CPOC) President Steve Jackson issued the following statement in response to the LA Receivership Ruling:

“Today’s court decision highlights the urgent challenges still facing Los Angeles County.  We agree with the court that these issues must be addressed thoughtfully and judiciously.  As we continue to recognize judicial intervention as a necessary and powerful tool, it must be limited and targeted to condition an environment that empowers the Probation Department to fulfil its mission of rehabilitation and safety.  Youth, young adults and the staff that serve them deserve nothing less.”
