Community Corrections Partnership (CCP)
AB 109, the Public Safety Realignment Act of 2011, was signed into law by Governor Jerry Brown on April 4, 2011. Effective October 1, 2011, this Act, along with numerous trailer bills, has made major changes to the criminal justice system in California. A large shift of responsibilities has been passed from the State to the Counties. In order to prepare for this shift, PC 1230.1 created an Executive Committee of the previously established Community Corrections Partnership (CCP), found under PC 1230 which stipulates the local CCP shall be comprised of the following:
Chairperson William P. Dickinson – Chief Probation Officer
Tamarah Harber-Pickens – Court Executive Officer (Designee for Judge J. Eric Bradshaw)
Cynthia Zimmer – District Attorney
Peter Kang – Public Defender
Donny Youngblood – Sheriff
Greg Terry – Chief of Police (Bakersfield Police Department)
Stacy Kuwahara – Director of Behavioral Health & Recovery Services
Full Committee (Includes Executive Committee)

The Executive Committee continues to develop and approve an AB 109 implementation plan each year which is presented to and approved by the Kern County Board of Supervisors.
