Adult Probation

Adult Probation is an opportunity for you to remain in your community with conditions instead of going to jail.
When the Court grants a person probation, it will also provide a set of conditions that outlines the goals and expectations of supervision.
During a probation period, a person is supervised by a probation officer who will assist in behavior change and report progress to the Court where the person was sentenced.
