Approximately one third of the misdemeanor probations involve POM 0-2; unfortunately, the officers who supervise them are likely supervising felony probation cases, too. So you will have less money appropriated by the state for misdemeanor placements, as well as less money coming in from payment of probation fees. So, some officers will have to be RIFed, and those remaining will supervise larger caseloads. This is not a reason NOT to make the change, but it will have consequences. The probation haters out there will rejoice, but the thought of caseloads edging above 150 won't help attract good folks to the field.
