Time to Register! CPOC & CPOC Foundation 2026 Statewide Conference
December 2-4, 2026
CPOC and CPOC Foundation are excited to announce the opening of registration for our upcoming 2026 Statewide Conference ACCOUNTABILITY WITH PURPOSE | SAFETY WITH VISION! The conference will be held in Monterey, CA from December 2-4, 2026
Join us for this statewide training conference focused on the challenging yet rewarding work probation does every day – protecting communities while creating real pathways for people to change.
Today’s probation goes beyond checklists and compliance. It is smart accountability, meaningful rehabilitation, and lasting public safety. Much of this impact happens behind the headlines: in crimes prevented, lives redirected, victims spared, and safer communities. This conference is an opportunity to elevate the profession beyond the day-to-day tasks and recognizing the broader impact probation has on individuals, communities, and public safety. Attendees will also have opportunities to network and learn about strategies that support the wellness, resilience, and professional growth of probation professionals themselves.
