LOS ANGELES, Calif.—The county plans to hire dozens of workers to help shore up its troubled Probation Department and meet deadlines imposed by the U.S. Department of Justice.

More than half of 94 newly authorized positions remain open for mental health and healthcare professionals and administrative and support personnel to work in the county’s probation camps.

Pressed by the Board of Supervisors, department heads said they are hoping to identify candidates for most of those jobs within the next 30 days.
