PROBATION DEPARTMENT

The Probation Department, as a legally-constituted arm of the Superior Court, is an integral part of the County's justice system.

The department is charged with the responsibility of community protection through the provision of mandated direct services to all of the courts, including the supervision, control, and reform of offenders who are granted supervised probation.

Probation is a privilege that usually includes conditions that require serving a specific amount of time in jail or a juvenile institution, paying restitution to crime victims, abstaining from the use of alcohol and drugs, paying fines, and doing community service work. Failure to comply with these conditions results in the offender's removal from probation status and the imposition of other penalties.
