The Trinity County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a resolution recognizing July 20–26, 2025 as Probation Services Week.
The resolution, read at the start of the meeting, praises probation professionals for providing accountability, rehabilitation services and connections between courts, law enforcement and community partners. Deputy Chief of Probation Thomas Bradford read a statement from the chief on behalf of the department, noting staff turnover and continued service: "This year, 3 probation officers retired or moved on to other opportunities. The remaining 7 officers and 2 staff maintain a high level of service to the court, continue to provide both accountability and supportive supervise, all while working through significant system and financial challenges." Bradford added, "She's grateful for their professionalism and their dedication."
The resolution text highlights training requirements and the department's role in connecting individuals on supervision with workplace development, substance-use and mental-health services, and other supports. After brief public remarks expressing appreciation for probation staff, a supervisor asked for a motion to approve the resolution; the board then voted.
Votes: Supervisor Cox — Aye; Supervisor Lynn Weiler — Aye; Supervisor Brown — Aye; Supervisor Carpenter — Aye. The resolution passed by unanimous recorded vote.
The board did not attach additional conditions to the proclamation; the resolution is primarily honorary and records recognition of the probation workforce for the specified week.
