This work is accomplished through the departmental values of the potential for positive change; safe communities through collaboration; public service with integrity and respect; and department staff and their development.

The Request for Approval of Records Disposition Schedule has been prepared after careful examination of all policies with regard to operating, administrative, legal, fiscal, research, historical or archive value, as well as the application of appropriate county, state and federal rules, ordinances, regulations and/or statutes governing records retention. The approval of this records retention schedule will help the Probation Department carry out its mission by being in compliance with countywide standards and policies and conformance with accepted records management practices.
