Duties

We provide pre-sentence and post-sentence investigations to the court with sentence recommendations. We supervise probation conditions that hold offenders accountable and impact their behavior in the community. Conditions include treatment for alcohol and drug abuse, domestic violence, mental health, sexual deviancy and restitution to victims.

In the future, our website will help you answer commonly asked questions, provide maps and various forms.
