Domestic Violence Program

The program aims to end abuse and foster healthy relationships through new thinking and behaviors. It emphasizes victim safety, probationer accountability, close monitoring, and intervention, with components including enhanced supervision, victim outreach, and offender intervention programming.

How the Domestic Violence Program works

 

  • Mandatory minimum 32-week offender intervention program
  • Probation staff maintains contact with victims
  • Foster financial responsibility through restitution, fines, fees, and reimbursements
  • The individual is placed with appropriate community programs, counseling and therapy

Intensive Probation

Intensive Probation Supervision (IPS) is a sentencing alternative for individuals who need enhanced level of supervision and engagement with their probation officer through the increased contacts the program requires.

How Intensive Probation works

 

  • The frequency of contacts may be reduced as the individual moves through the IPS levels.
  • The probation officer monitors the individuals on IPS by conducting frequent visits to their residence, employment, and treatment locations.
  • An individual who successfully engages and demonstrates progress with the requirements of the IPS Program earns the opportunity to transition to Standard Probation upon approval from the Court.

Sex Offender Program

This program aims to increase supervision and surveillance of convicted sex offenders and provide intensive treatment for addressing sexual deviancy. This containment approach holds offenders accountable for their thoughts and behavior, emphasizing their responsibility for the harm inflicted on others.

How the Sex Offender Program works

 

  • Community supervision for offenders who respond well to treatment
  • Teaches intrinsic controls to avert hands-on offenses
  • Includes family and victim(s) when possible and appropriate
  • Progress or lack of progress is documented regularly

Standard Probation

This probation type focuses on three goals that lead to the success of individuals. They are accountability, change, and community. Together, these activities provide a foundation where intervention reduces risk, and community involvement increases long-term success. The supervision level is tied to the overall risk of re-offense by the individual.

How Standard Probation works

 

  • Reporting instructions are provided to the individual
  • Foster financial responsibility through restitution, fines, fees, and reimbursements
  • The individual is placed with appropriate community programs, counseling and therapy
  • Drug use is prohibited and compliance is monitored
