Responsibilities

To foster accountability and responsibility first to self, then to the court, and ultimately to the community, in an effort to effect total life skills changes so that the individual is not likely again to engage in a criminal course of conduct.

The department also handles:

• Court ordered misdemeanor probation supervision for adult and limited juvenile traffic cases
• Supervision of pretrial intervention contracts established by the State Attorneys Office
