Full Notification

If you live in the East County, the California Department of State Hospitals (DSH) has recommended the placement of Sexually Violent Predator (SVP) Joseph Bocklett at 45612 Old Highway 80 in Jacumba Hot Springs. He was convicted of committing lewd and lascivious acts with children under the age of 14.

While this address falls within the jurisdiction of the Boulevard/Jacumba Sheriff's Office, THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT OR SAFE TASK FORCE (SEXUAL ASSAULT FELONY ENFORCEMENT) ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SELECTION OF THE PROPOSED SITE. THAT SELECTION PROCESS IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF DSH AND THE SAN DIEGO SUPERIOR COURT.

Due to current coronavirus/COVID-19 health concerns, a placement hearing will be held via ZOOM. Comments will be accepted during this hearing on:
