Most probation meetings happen in person, either at a Dakota County office or in community places like schools, homes or workplaces. Meeting in person helps probation officers build relationships, check progress and support accountability.
Some people who are lower risk may check in by phone instead. This allows probation officers to focus in-person time on people who need it most.
In-person appointments
