DISCUSSION:

This item conforms to Strategic Plan Goal 2, Ensure that Public Safety Continues to be a High Priority, Objective No. 2, Considering sharing services to other cities.

Over the past several years, La Habra and Placentia have entered into an agreement for Court Liaison Services. Under this agreement, La Habra provides as a service to Placentia, the handling and processing of subpoenas in all criminal and civil matters, as well as the processing and tracking of all criminal cases. This Agreement authorizes the Court Liaison Officer to act as an intermediary between the Court, Placentia, and any other court or subpoenaing agency. This has been a very cost-effective and efficient means for handling and processing subpoenas as well as tracking criminal cases associated with the Placentia Police Department.
