According to Public Information Officer Gil Rebollar, Officer Guerrero has been involved in the Wraparound Services Program working with high-risk clients, helping stabilize families, scheduling Child Family Time meetings, creating case plans with youth and family input, and supporting youth services.

“I am both honored and humbled by this important recognition,” expressed Officer Guerrero, “My fellow officers and I strive to promote public safety through our efforts to hold offenders accountable while at the same offering them rehabilitative programs and services. I am proud to be part of Imperial County Probation and its ongoing commitment to improve the quality of life in our communities.”

Beginning his career with the Imperial County Probation Department in 2015, Officer Guerrero has also expanded into legislative ambitions. Rebollar added that the honored probation officer helped develop SB 283, a bill that shifted the responsibility for long-term correctional care and case management for juveniles to their corresponding counties.

"Officer Guerrero has provided significant input into the Facility Upgrade considerations and has provided an outline and plan for Secure Track youth to increase services for them and their families," Rebollar continued. "Most recently, he also volunteered and was deployed to provide mutual aid assistance to El Dorado County in response to the growing Caldor Fire."

The CPOC is an association of Chief Probation Officers from each of the 58 counties of California. It advises California lawmakers to create legislation and policies that are aligned with the goals and missions of probation departments across the state.
