In Episode 7 of the Placer County Probation Podcast, I sit down with Officer Andy Bartlett to talk about Proposition 36 and what it could mean for probation, public safety, and the community.
We break down the basics of Prop 36, discuss some of the major changes it brings, and talk about how those changes may impact the work we do here in Placer County. Andy shares his perspective on accountability, treatment options, and the challenges that come with balancing enforcement and rehabilitation.
This was a great conversation for anyone wanting a better understanding of how changes in law can directly affect the criminal justice system and the people moving through it.
Give it a listen and let us know what you think.
