Probation

Juvenile Probation Department

Probation occurs when a juvenile offender is adjudicated under a specific order which releases the juvenile back into the community under the supervision of a Probation Officer.

The probation department holds juvenile offenders accountable for their actions while providing support to the offender and their families. Probation Officers monitor the juvenile offender's compliance with the Courts Orders; as well as assisting the juvenile and family in improving the juvenile’s overall behavior. Juveniles on probation are expected to behave appropriately at home, school, community service worksites, as well as while in the community. Through appropriate sanctions, the juvenile will be held accountable for any violation of the terms of their probation.
