County Of LOS Angeles

The County of Los Angeles — doing business as the Los Angeles County Probation Department — is a U.S. local government entity operating as a sub-recipient on federal grant programs focused on criminal justice, gang violence reduction, and probation supervision. The Department is a division of the parent County of Los Angeles and has no role as a federal contract prime or sub; all recent federal activity flows through grant sub-awards from grantor agencies and prime grantees including Los Angeles City Hall and the California Office of Traffic Safety.

The Probation Department's federal footprint centers on three concrete grant programs. It serves as a sub-recipient on the Community Law Enforcement and Recovery (CLEAR) strategy, a gang violence reduction initiative under which the City of Los Angeles is the prime grantee; the Probation Department participates as a member of the CLEAR Team alongside the Los Angeles Police Department, the Los Angeles City Attorney, the County District Attorney, and the Mayor's Office of Gang Reduction Youth Development (GRYD). The Department has received sub-awards for CLEAR work in fiscal years 2021, 2022, and 2023 (each awarded October 1). The Department also serves as a sub-recipient on an Intensive Probation Supervision program for high-risk felony and repeat DUI offenders, with a prime grantee listed as the California Office of Traffic Safety and an award date of October 1, 2022.

Customer concentration is tight. Four federal agencies account for 100% of recent awards: the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Bureau of Justice Assistance (4 awards), the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs (1 award), the Environmental Protection Agency (1 award), and the Department of Transportation National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (1 award). The Probation Department has received 7 total awards since 2008, with combined dollars obligated across all awards standing at $2 million. Activity has been sparse and episodic — one award in 2013, one in 2019, one in 2021, two in 2022, and one in 2023 — with the most recent award closing out nearly three years ago. The Department does not compete as a federal contractor and carries no GWAC or BPA presence.
