Report to Sacramento County probation officers with a phone call to slow coronavirus
Authorities asked those on probation in Sacramento County to report by making a phone call to their assigned probation officer in effort to slow the coronavirus spread.
The Sacramento County Probation Department announced the changes in a Facebook post. Probation officials aid the changes were made in accordance with stay-at-home directives from county and state along with guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
“We play an important role both in the community and criminal justice system, and we do not underestimate the effect we have on the possible spread of COVID-19,” probation officials wrote in the Facebook post.
They also said adults on probation who do not have an assigned officer should call the main department line at 916-875-0300 or send an email to probationclient-in@saccounty.net.
Those checking-in should include their full name, an X-reference number, date of birth, current phone number and current home address. Juvenile check-ins can call 916-875-4600.
Last week, Gov. Gavin Newsom directed all Californians to stay at home and avoid nonessential social contact to slow coronavirus spread. Sacramento County on Thursday formally ordered all residents to remain in their homes and to go out for essential chores, an order carries the force of law.
