Yolo County District Attorney Jeff Reisig announced this week the results of a Nov. 9 joint operation in which the DA’s Investigations Bureau led a compliance check on 13 people who are on probation or parole in Yolo County for gang offenses.
This goal of the operation was to ensure that these individuals were complying with their terms of parole or probation. Agencies who participated in the operation included Yolo County district attorney investigators, Yolo County probation officers, California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation parole agents and Investigative Service Unit officers, and Woodland Police Department Street Response Team detectives.
Eleven people were in compliance with their parole and probation terms. Two were arrested for possession of a weapon and firearm replica.
“If you suspect your child or teenager is involved in gang activity, discuss the consequences of their actions with them,” Reisig said in a news release. “Seek assistance from your local school officials and counselors. Contact your local law enforcement to report any suspected or known gang activity. Seek community youth programs that instill a positive influence in their life.
“While we will make every effort to help maintain public safety, talking to children and teenagers early will help deter their involvement in gang activity,” he added.
