Building strong communities takes strong partnerships.

Alameda County Probation Department staff joined the Berkeley Police Department and local partners at Coffee with a Cop to discuss housing stability, supportive services, and ways to better coordinate resources for people under supervision in the Berkeley area.

The conversation highlighted a shared goal: connecting people to the services and support they need while strengthening community safety through collaboration.

We appreciate the opportunity to build new relationships, learn from our partners, and continue working together to improve outcomes for the communities we serve.

Creating safer communities takes partnership, trust, and a shared commitment to prevention.

Last month, Alameda County Probation joined community partners and the Oakland Police Department at a Gun Buyback Event hosted by Thy Word Ministries in Oakland. The event provided community members with an opportunity to safely surrender unwanted fi****ms while connecting with local organizations committed to supporting community well-being.

Thanks to strong community participation, approximately 90 fi****ms were collected during the event. ACPD staff were also on site with the Mobile Probation Van, distributing hygiene kits and engaging with community members in a welcoming and supportive environment.

Events like these reflect the power of collaboration and the important role communities play in creating safer neighborhoods for everyone. We are grateful to our partners and community members who continue to invest in a safer, stronger Alameda County.

Supporting young people takes more than a single program or agency. It takes partnership, collaboration, and a shared commitment to prevention, opportunity, and long-term success.

Alameda County Probation’s Resource Connection Network (RCN) recently gathered in person with Youth Service Centers and Community Program providers from across Alameda County to continue strengthening the collective work supporting system-involved and at-promise youth.

The meeting created space for providers to share updates, discuss challenges, and continue building collaborative strategies that help young people and families access meaningful support and resources throughout the county. The gathering helped strengthen relationships across agencies while building the trust and familiarity that make ongoing collaboration more effective and responsive.

Providers heard from the Juvenile Justice Delinquency Prevention Commission (JJDPC), whose work helps advocate for youth and promotes a juvenile justice system grounded in dignity, fairness, accountability, and community partnership.
