Mission Statement

To promote public safety, reduce recidivism, and support victims and all those impacted by crime. In partnership with the community, Probation provides balanced supervision, accountability and opportunities for positive change through results-driven practices.

Department Budget Overview

Probation operates as an arm of the Court, and is responsible for services required by the Adult and Juvenile Courts, including pretrial assessments, probation, post-trial alternative custody and juvenile detention. The department is divided into four divisions: Adult, Juvenile, Pretrial and Juvenile Hall.

Regarded as a nationwide leader, the department promotes public safety and productive lives at all phases of the criminal justice system by focusing on evidence-based practices, custody alternatives and the humane treatment of youth and adult clients.
