Parole agents from the Riverside and Tri-City districts partnered with other law enforcement officers for a sex-offender compliance sweep. In all, there were 115 contacts at 61 locations resulting in 16 arrests.
The Oct. 8 joint operation was led by Riverside County Sheriff’s Office, Moreno Valley Station Investigation Bureau.
These consisted of persons under community supervision, such as probation or parole, and non-supervised Penal Code (PC) 290 registrants.
Conducted in the city of Moreno Valley, the operation ensured all registrants were following their sex offender registration requirements. In addition to confirming residency, offenders who were on probation or parole were also checked to verify they were complying with their court-ordered terms. During the enforcement, 16 subjects were arrested for charges related to parole or probation violations, drug-related offenses, and possession of child sexual abuse material.
Those arrested were taken into custody without incident and booked at the Robert Presley Detention Center. Of the 16 individuals arrested, 13 sex offenders are under Division of Adult Parole Operations (DAPO) supervision.
In all, 10 state parole staff took part in the compliance sweep.
Community Service Officer Karie Cave and Sheriff Deputy Bowdry commended all CDCR parole personnel who assisted in the Moreno Valley PC290 Sweep Operation.
“Their hard work, positive attitude, and ability to adapt was greatly appreciated and made for a successful operation,” said Deputy Bowdry. “We also appreciate DAPO for leading by example. Investigators and deputies had nothing but positive things to say about CDCR’s parole agents.”
