The Community Awaiting Placement Supervision (CAPS) Service currently consists of a supervision team including a collaboration of criminal justice and human service stakeholders in Santa Clara County. The team includes the Probation Department, Pretrial Services, Office of Reentry Services (ORS), Behavioral Health Services (BHSD), Custody Health, and Office of Supportive Housing (OSH). The team works in conjunction with the Superior Court, District Attorney’s Office, Public Defender’s Office, the Office of the Sheriff/Department of Correction, State Parole, and treatment providers to facilitate the release of individuals on the Jail Assessment Coordinator (JAC) List. Once a CAPS client is released, the CAPS Team provides appropriate community supervision until treatment services become available.
