The Adult Probation Department helps people on pretrial and probation supervision follow the court’s orders and make positive changes in their lives. The department offers guidance, support, and programs that help individuals build new skills and stay on the right path. Its work also helps keep our communities safe and strong.
The Adult Probation Department has three main bureaus. Each bureau has a different focus, but all work toward the same goal to help people on probation make positive changes while keeping the community safe.
The Pre-Disposition & Administrative Services Bureau provides support for people who are waiting for the Court to decide on their release or sentencing. This includes individuals who may be eligible for pretrial release, those who need electronic monitoring, people involved in court proceedings, and anyone waiting for a final decision in their case.
