Two new reports on the state’s probation system reveal a department in disarray. Cases slip through the cracks, officers are overloaded with work and there are huge communication gaps between adult and juvenile law enforcement agencies. Probation department officials admit even they are shocked by how bad it is. But the new reports simply repeat findings from a similar report completed four years ago. So what will it take to finally start fixing the problems that everyone knows exist? News and Observer reporter Joseph Neff joins guest host Eric Hodge to discuss the probation system and public safety.
