The San Francisco Adult Probation Department (SFAPD) achieves excellence in community corrections, public safety and public service through the integration of Evidence Based Practices and a victim centered approach to our supervision strategies. We collaborate with city and community partners to provide a unique blend of opportunity and accountability. We are leaders in our profession, exemplifying the highest standards. We extend a continuum of integrated services to address our clients’ criminogenic needs and empower them to become productive members of the community. With the help of the San Francisco community, together we have been able to create an adult probation department that leads our state in innovative and progressive strategies that help people rebuild their lives and ensure the safety of all people in our community. The work we do is helping to move the state and nation away from the ‘tough on crime’ narrative. Locking people up in prison is not the answer; and this often disproportionately impacts people of color. We have successfully demonstrated that we can safely support individuals in the community without relying on incarceration. We will continue this work and hope that together we can create a more fair and just system for all Californians. Thank you for all you do to strengthen the community safety network for people exiting jails and prisons. This catalog is a representation of SFAPD’s reentry services investments in the community, and an illustration of some of our key community partners.
