Our purpose is to assist in the protection of the community by safely and effectively supervising probationers at the most appropriate level to affect habilitation or rehabilitation.  Compliance with court ordered conditions will be positively reinforced while holding individuals accountable for violations through the continuum of sanctions.  All divisions of the department work collaboratively to provide quality, professional services to the Court and community.
