San Diego County Probation Officers Assocation

What San Diego County Probation Officers Assocation does

The San Diego County Probation Officers Association (SDCPOA) is a private nonprofit membership association founded in 2009, when it was certified as the sole and exclusive representative of the Probation Officers unit in San Diego County following an election on July 15, 2009. The organization represents sworn probation officers and recruits of the San Diego County Probation Department in matters of wages, hours, working conditions, and employer-employee relations, and it advocates for the protection of members' rights, benefits, and privileges.

SDCPOA operates with approximately 35 staff and is governed by an elected Board of Directors led by President Jennifer Fox, with a Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, multiple Directors, and a Chief of Staff (Khristina L. Smith). The association's revenue model is subscription/recurring membership dues paid by sworn officers and recruits; dues structure is not publicly disclosed. Member-facing products include the Members Dashboard portal (requiring IQue login), the annual Scholarship Program (awarding $4,000 to six recipients in 2025), a Political Action program, and News and Events communications. Strategic partnerships include the State Coalition of Probation Organizations (SCOPO), the American Probation and Parole Association (APPA), SDPEBA, and STAR/PAL.

The technology footprint is minimal and undifferentiated: a standard WordPress website with member login functionality, active social media channels (Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram), and no proprietary software products, APIs, or AI/ML capabilities. Geographic scope is strictly San Diego County, with no commercial distribution or expansion beyond the certified bargaining unit.
