Community Corrections

The mission of Community Corrections is to protect the safety of citizens in communities throughout the state by providing viable alternatives and meaningful supervision to offenders on probation, parole or post-release supervision.  The primary goal of Community Corrections is to reach an equal balance of control and treatment for offenders that will positively affect their behavior and lifestyle patterns. Probation /parole officers protect the public safety by helping offenders learn to live within the law. They supervise offenders' activities in the community and ensure their compliance with court orders and sanctions.

Probation is a period of court-ordered community supervision imposed as an alternative to imprisonment.

Post Release Supervision and Parole are forms of supervision in the community after completing a prison sentence.
