Community Corrections works with youth and adults. The goal is to hold people accountable while helping them make positive changes.
Probation officers use research-based tools to decide how much supervision each person needs. This helps make sure resources are used where they will help the most.
People on probation are supervised where they live, work or go to school. Some receive special supervision if they have higher risk or special needs. Community Corrections works closely with police, courts, treatment providers and community partners to keep the public safe and support long-term success.
