Probation Oversight Commission, Los Angeles County

The Probation Oversight Commission is a civilian oversight body that advises L.A. County Probation.

The first body of its kind in the nation, the Board of Supervisors voted to implement the Probation Oversight Commission in 2020 as a result of the dedicated work and recommendations of the Probation Reform Implementation Team (PRIT). The Probation Oversight Commission has the authority and duty to:

- Review departmental policies, procedures, and practices;
- Conduct inspections in order to ensure the physical safety and welfare of youth and adults in Probation custody;
- Investigate critical matters brought to the Commission’s attention;
- Receive and review grievances;
- Compel data, real evidence, and direct testimony including the power to subpoena necessary information from the Probation Department; and
- Engage the public through robust and transparent reporting and regular meetings.

What should youth justice look like if the goal is lasting change?

Commissioner Brooke Harris brings years of experience as a public defender, law professor, and youth defense leader to her work on the Probation Oversight Commission. Her perspective centers on a critical question: Are young people receiving the resources and support they need to build a different future?

From rehabilitation and access to services to greater accountability for how public resources are spent, Commissioner Harris is focused on what it takes to create meaningful change in L.A. County’s youth justice system.

Because changing outcomes means looking beyond punishment to what helps young people grow, heal, and succeed.

100 substantiated PREA reports. 105 unsubstantiated or unfounded.

At our September meeting, LA County Probation presented PREA (Prison R**e Elimination Act) data showing 100 substantiated reports of sexual assault or sexual harassment in 2025.

Commissioner Tyrique Shipp pressed the Department on a critical question: What deemed the other 105 reports unsubstantiated or unfounded?

With LA County facing a $4 billion settlement related to sexual abuse, youth safety demands transparency, accountability, and answers.
