On July 17, 2025, the County of Santa Barbara Probation Department conducted a countywide compliance operation with a specific focus on supervised clients convicted of sex offenses. During the operation, 24 locations were visited and 12 searches conducted in the Santa Maria, Orcutt, Lompoc, Santa Barbara, and Goleta areas. In the City of Santa Maria, the Santa Maria Police Department joined Probation in this effort.
Probation officers verified that individuals were following sex offender registration requirements, residency restrictions, and other Court-mandated conditions. As a result of the operation, two arrests were made, and 15 USB drives, one BB gun, an electronic device with unauthorized internet access, and an SD memory card were confiscated.
This operation is part of the Probation Department’s ongoing commitment to community safety. Convicted sex offenders are subject to regular monitoring to ensure they are complying with all applicable laws and restrictions. These proactive efforts ensure accountability, help reduce recidivism, and protect the community, particularly vulnerable populations.
