Placer County Probation Department

Members of the Placer County Probation Department were honored to join the Placer County Sheriff's Office and other law enforcement partners in this year's Special Olympics Law Enforcement Torch Run.

Together, participants carried the Flame of Hope in support of Special Olympics Northern California and the incredible athletes who inspire us through their determination, courage, and achievements.

As Guardians of the Flame, law enforcement officers and public safety professionals help carry a message of hope, dignity, and support for Special Olympics athletes. The Law Enforcement Torch Run is a powerful reminder of what can be accomplished when communities come together to support these incredible athletes.

We are proud to stand alongside our public safety partners in support of Special Olympics and the athletes who continue to inspire us every day.

This Memorial Day, Chance reminds us to pause, reflect, and honor those who gave their lives in service to our nation.
We remember the courage, sacrifice, and dedication of the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedom.

The Placer County Probation Department will be attending the Placer 4 Mental Health Wellness Fair on May 21 in Roseville!

Stop by our booth to say hello, meet members of our team, and learn more about resources and services available in our community. We look forward to seeing you there!

During National Police Week 2026, we honor and recognize the law enforcement professionals who dedicate themselves to serving and protecting our communities each day.

At the Placer County Probation Department, we are proud to stand alongside our law enforcement partners as we work together toward safer communities through accountability, opportunity, and positive change.

We also take this time to remember and honor the officers who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. Their service and dedication will never be forgotten.
Thank you to all who wear the badge and serve with integrity, professionalism, and compassion.

This past weekend, members of the Placer County Probation Department had the honor of supporting the Special Olympics Northern California at the Spring Games by helping present medals to the incredible athletes competing throughout the event. 🏅
It was a privilege to celebrate the hard work, determination, and sportsmanship displayed by each athlete. Thank you to Special Olympics Northern California for allowing us to be part of such an inspiring event and congratulations to all of the athletes who competed!

On May 12, 2026, the Board of Supervisors officially approved the newest member of the Placer County Probation Department family, Chance! 🐾

Chance is a 7-month-old Golden Retriever currently training twice a week with All Stage Canine Development and will soon begin rotating through our work locations to provide support and engagement. Officer Lauren Maben will serve as Chance’s primary handler.

Chance will engage with clients, spend time at the Juvenile Detention Facility, and participate in community events as a positive and supportive presence for both staff and clients alike.

This program would not have been possible without the support and generosity of our community partners. Thank you to All Stage Canine Development, Miranda,
Crème Brulée Goldens owners Yvette and Ed for donating Chance, and Tuff Fluff Dogs and Unee for helping care for and support Chance throughout the development of the program.

We are also grateful to the agencies and staff who took the time to answer questions, share information, and provide guidance about their own support dog programs:
City of Roseville, California Police Department - Social Services Practitioner CJ Smith and Officer Gaines
Folsom Police Department – Officer Sears
Placer County District Attorney's Office – Jessica Waterford
