More than 150 Placer County employees have moved to the county's new Bill Santucci Justice Center in Roseville.They relocated to a new two-story office building located next to an 110,700-square-foot courthouse building that opened last summer. The latter features nine courtrooms used by the Placer County Superior Court.The center is on Industrial Avenue between Blue Oaks and Sunset boulevards just west of Highway 65.The 60,850-square-foot office building at 10810 Justice Center Drive accommodates the Revenue Services Division of the Administrative Services Department, as well as employees from the District Attorney's Office and Probation Department. All three interact frequently with the courts. The main telephone number for Revenue Services is now 543-3900.Revenue Services manages payment of court-ordered fines and other fees. It moved to the Santucci Center because most of its business is court-related."My staff and I are very excited about the move, because the new location will allow us to provide even better service to the public and with more efficiency since we will be located next door to the Placer County courts and in the same building as the District Attorney and Probation Departments," said Revenue Services Manager Sandy Conte. The center now is home to most of Probation's adult services staff, including adult court, adult supervision services and alternative sentencing. In addition, a small part of the department's juvenile services relocated to Roseville.Probation officers who worked out of the Roseville Police Department also relocated to the new building at the Santucci Center. "The close proximity with Revenue Services, the DA's Office and the court will provide easy access for the public to take care of their matters," Adult Services Probation Manager Marshall Hopper said. "Further, it will also provide increased communication between our departments and provide better services to our clients."About 30 probation employees remain at the Auburn Justice Center in North Auburn. Most of them work for probation's juvenile services and benefit from being close to the Juvenile Court and Juvenile Detention Facility at the North Auburn Government Center.Probation's main telephone number remains the same: (530) 889-7900.The probation department also has some employees who work at the county Children's System of Care in Auburn and some staff at North Lake Tahoe. About 100 employees from the District Attorney's Office are now stationed at the Santucci Center. The District Attorney's main public telephone number at the Santucci Center is 543-8000.Most of the office's operations are moving to the center, but its juvenile division will remain at the Auburn Justice Center in North Auburn.
