By announcing the appointment of Chief Probation Officer John Keene to the California Interstate Commission for Adult Offender Supervision Monday, Gov. Jerry Brown charged the county’s top probation officer with representing California in a law enforcement group focused on monitoring the interstate transfer of law offenders.
Tasked with overseeing a compact between states governing the interstate movement of offenders and ensuring the supervision of their transfers is guided by considerations of public safety, offender accountability and the rights of victims, the commission notifies victims and jurisdictions where offenders are authorized to travel or relocate, according to a press release.
Having served as the county’s chief probation officer since 2013, Keene will serve a four-year term on the commission and will take the reins from Jim Salio, chief probation officer of San Luis Obispo County and president of the Chief Probation Officers of California.
“I feel privileged to receive this appointment from the governor,” Keene said in the release. “I believe my experience will be beneficial to the commission to help ensure effective supervision strategies are being utilized and am proud to be a representative of the California probation profession on the commission.”
