San Bernardino County IMPACT/Nightlight Program

The San Bernardino County Probation Department will form a team with the City of San Bernardino Police Department that targets juveniles on probation and youthful offenders in San Bernardino. The team will conduct school, home and community surveillance to ensure offenders are in compliance with court ordered probation terms, conditions, and sanctions. The expected outcomes of these activities include increasing the number of probationers that comply with court ordered conditions, reduce recidivism for assaults, vandalism and illegal use of firearms, and increase the number of probationers who successfully complete restorative justice programs.NCA/NCF

The IMPACT program seeks to decrease or mitigate the number of gang related criminal incidents; identify and prepare field identification cards for all gang members and gang associates contacted; to work with San Bernardino City Schools to coordinate gang intelligence gathering efforts and information dissemination; to provide resource and prevention/intervention referrals for high-risk juveniles, who are not assigned to probation supervision; to increase parent, public and school personnel awareness of gang activity, gang influences and related concerns, to decrease the number of high risk warrants issued on behalf of post-placement youth identified as gang involved or associated; and to provide intervention and prevention programs services.
