Karen Fletcher’s departure after just two months on the job comes at a precarious time for the agency, which is under fire for conditions at its juvenile halls.
Karen Fletcher, Los Angeles County’s interim chief probation officer, is stepping down after less than two months leading the county’s troubled Probation Department.
A Probation Department spokesperson said Fletcher would not provide an interview and that her resignation was a simple retirement following 34 years of employment. Fletcher’s exit comes at a precarious time for the department. The Board of State and Community Corrections is set to meet May 23 to decide whether to declare L.A. County’s two juvenile halls “unsuitable,” a designation that would force the department to immediately cure a series of deficiencies or shutter both facilities within 60 days.
The board’s new authorization allows Viera Rosa to hire consultants and use existing contracts to “come into compliance with applicable laws, regulations and settlement agreements, and appear in administrative proceedings on behalf of Probation,” including the county’s plan to address issues of noncompliance at Barry J. Nidorf and Central juvenile halls at the May 23 BSCC hearing.
