SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
Dorcas Terrado began her career with the Solano County Probation Department as a Collections Officer on February 21, 2004. Ms. Terrado was assigned to the Billing and Collections Unit, and was responsible for collecting, monitoring, and pursuing victim restitution, adult supervision fees, fines, Public Defender fees, and jurisdictional transfer cases. She worked closely with the accounting staff on processing accounts, providing account updates, inquiries, and guidance on application of payments from clients. She collaborated with representatives from other county agencies on the collection and case status of jurisdictional transfer cases.
Ms. Terrado has performed her duties throughout her years of service in a dependable and professional manner. She pursued collections with flexibility, openness, and within established policies.
