San Bernardino County Probation performs operational "sweeps" with other law enforcement agencies to identify and contact offenders to ensure compliance with terms and conditions and locate and detain those in violation and who may have active warrants. Support began in 2011 with laptops using Virtual Private Network (VPN) access to Probation data resources. Scale and complexity has grown over time. Various applications and technology platforms have been used to enhance the overall success. These include, but are not limited to; Mobile Data Computers (MDC), Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) and California Law Enforcement Telecommunication System (CLETS). Regional “Deployment Systems” were developed which hold the necessary equipment. These are also used for deploying Department Operations Centers (DOC) during emergencies and drills. Each region (San Bernardino, High Desert and West Valley) have the deployment system with identical inventory. These kits include the following: D link 16 port Network switch Laptops Cisco 809 4g VPN routers Cables – power, network (various sizes) Surge Protectors USB Hubs – 10 port Charging station with assorted cables Projectors Projector Screen Printers The set up takes about 20-30 minutes. Portable generators and network capable command vehicles are available. The department has performed 28 operations over the past nine years.
