Mission Statement

The mission of the Judicial District Community Supervision and Corrections Department reflects our core values and beliefs. The department is committed to providing offenders with opportunities to become responsible law-abiding citizens, to ensure the safety of our communities and the restoration of crime victims through compliance with the orders of the Court. We provide quality services to the Courts by conducting pre-sentence investigations, supervising offenders at meaningful levels, and by providing alternatives to incarceration along a continuum of sanctions. The department also serves the community by protecting its citizens from illegal and antisocial acts by offenders placed on community supervision, operating community service programs, and by collecting court imposed financial obligations, such as restitution, fines, court costs, and court appointed attorney’s fees. Finally, the department serves offenders by providing them with a continuum of services and sanctions, all used as a means of working toward law-abiding and socially responsible behavior.

In delivering these services, the department is well aware of the often conflicting philosophical approaches within the criminal justice system – deterrence, rehabilitation or treatment, restitution, just desserts or retribution, and incapacitation. While the department places considerable emphasis on treatment or rehabilitation, this treatment is balanced with offender accountability.
