Santa Ana, CA - December 23, 2025 – The Orange County Probation Department proudly unveiled its new Mobile Resource Vehicle (MRV) fleet last Friday in Santa Ana, marking a bold step forward in delivering community-centered support, reducing barriers to services, and strengthening public safety.

The MRV fleet, consisting of five specially equipped vehicles, is designed to bring resources and services directly into neighborhoods throughout Orange County. These units are part of a first-of-its-kind outreach initiative to help justice involved individuals, their families, and the broader community access vital resources more easily, without having to travel to a probation office. This fleet offers a variety of services including on-site case management, assistance meeting court-ordered conditions, connections to employment and education opportunities, and basic supplies.

“This launch represents more than new vehicles. It represents our commitment to breaking down barriers and expanding access to critical support where it’s needed most,” said Chief Daniel Hernandez “By bringing services directly into the community, we are improving pathways to success and reducing the likelihood of future justice involvement.”
