Human trafficking impacts all communities, including ours. Shown is a recent monthly CSEC stakeholder meeting with CWS, where we work with community partners to review cases & coordinate support for youth identified as victims, are at risk, or show clear concerns of exploitation.

As we begin 2026, we want to thank our staff, partners, and community for being part of the work we do every day. All offices will be closed on 01/01; operations at our Juvenile Detention Facility remain active. We appreciate the staff who continue working through the holiday.

Happy holidays from@TCProbationDept. All offices will be closed on Wednesday, 12/24, & Thursday, 12/25; however, operations at our Juvenile Detention Facility remain active. We appreciate our staff who continue working during the holiday to support our community.

Keeping our community safe during the holidays means being present and proactive. Our officers remain active, conducting compliance checks and home visits as part of ongoing efforts to reduce risk and promote safety in our communities during the holidays and throughout the year.

Probation is where accountability meets opportunity. We help individuals make lasting change, so our communities stay safer and stronger. For more information about the functions of the Tulare County Probation Department, visit tcprobation.com. #CAProbation #probation

#WorldSeries Game 1 is tonight! Tulare County Probation hosted a spirited jersey day, repping their favorite #MLB teams.  Whether you cheer for the Dodgers or the Blue Jays, the playoffs spark the competitive spirit & camaraderie we love. Who is your pick, #Dodgers or #BlueJays?

Accountability is at the heart of what we do. Our officers enforce court decisions with professionalism and respect — holding people accountable while also helping them move forward. It's part of how we’re changing lives and building safer communities.

Tulare County Probation's 678 Unit supervises around 1,000 individuals on probation who are considered medium to high risk. Using evidence-based strategies, the team works to reduce risk and support lasting change. Learn more at tcprobation.com/divisions/adul…

"In 678, every day isn't the same.” That's one of the things DPO Jesus Martinez looks forward to when he reports for duty as a Probation Field Officer. In this video, he shares what a typical day in the field can look like — and why being present in the community matters.

Today, we pause to remember the lives lost on #September11th. We honor their memory and recognize the bravery of first responders. @TCProbationDept stood with our law enforcement partners at the National Day of Remembrance to reflect and pay our respects. #PatriotDay

The 26 arrests included: •Outstanding warrants •Drug-related charges •Animal cruelty •Possession of illegal items   Thank you to our community partners for their collaboration in reducing risk and helping keep Tulare County safe. (2/2)

Last week in Ivanhoe, a coordinated multi-agency operation showed the impact of strong law enforcement partnerships. @TCProbationDept joined the @TulareSheriff, @TPD93274, CDCR Parole, and Dinuba Police for a targeted compliance sweep focused on reducing community risk. (1/2)

Our officers are trained to balance accountability with rehabilitation, while helping individuals take steps toward positive change.

From the classroom to hands-on scenarios, training covers: · Safety and defensive tactics · Crisis intervention and de-escalation · Motivational interviewing and case management · Legal updates and court procedures · Cultural awareness and communication skills

Every skill a Probation Officer uses is developed through experience and training—repeated, tested, and refined over time. Probation Officers go through extensive training to ensure they’re ready to serve and support our community.

While our administrative offices in #Visalia and #Porterville will be closed, 24-hour operations at our Youth Facilities remain fully active. We're grateful to the officers and staff working through the holiday weekend to support our community. (2/2)

In observance of #LaborDay, our offices will be closed on Monday, September 1. We will resume normal business hours the following day. (1/2)
