Juvenile justice is a critical piece of the justice reform conversations taking place across the country and is at a pivotal point here in San Francisco. Katherine (Katy) Weinstein Miller, Chief Probation Officer, shares how San Francisco's Juvenile Probation Department is re-thinking the ways to prevent and respond to juvenile crime and delinquency.

Chief Miller has served in her current role since January 2020. In this capacity, she is responsible for oversight of the City’s probation services for youth involved in our juvenile justice system, as well as for the operation of San Francisco’s Juvenile Hall. She serves on the Mayor’s Blue Ribbon Panel on Juvenile Justice Reform and the Board of Supervisors’ Work Group to Close Juvenile Hall, and as a member of Youth Correctional Leaders for Justice at Columbia University.

Chief Miller comes to Juvenile Probation following 12 years at the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office, where she served as Chief of Programs and Initiatives, leading policy and program development for the DA’s alternative justice programs and strategies. In this capacity, she oversaw the DA’s Juvenile, Mental Health and Alternative Courts Units, and implemented nationally recognized programs. 

Prior to joining the DA's Office, Chief Miller worked at both the San Francisco Mayor's Office of Criminal Justice and the Delancey Street Foundation on a major initiative to reform San Francisco’s juvenile justice system, including the development of the City’s Community Assessment and Resource Center. She holds a J.D. from Yale Law School and a B.A. from the University of Pennsylvania.
