Community Corrections Division

The Community Corrections Division has embraced Evidence Based Practices (EBP) and Community Policing as guiding philosophies to deliver supervision service to our client population. Key EBP components of this Division are the use of Effective Practices in Community Supervision (EPICS), in-house pre-treatment programming, risk-need-responsivity and cognitive behavioral interventions, assessments, change contracts, motivational interviewing, and utilizing sanctions and services that reduce risk and promote client change.

As of April 2024, there are approximately 2,700 clients under supervision in Marion County. Of those, 870 are on limited supervision through the Limited Supervision Unit. Our current average caseload size for our 38 case-carrying POs is 50:1.

Parole and Probation Deputies provide the highest level of supervision to clients who present the greatest risk to the community. A variety of statutory, policy and contractual mandates are satisfied such as: sex offender notification, management of clients sentenced to one year or less in local jails, transitional pre-release assessment and planning, hearings, and pre-sentence investigations. Community Corrections staff work closely with other community agencies such as Treatment Providers, various Law Enforcement agencies, Transitional Housing Providers, etc. Although we are quite proud of our community partnerships, we are constantly seeking to expand our effort in this area.

Our field supervision caseloads are divided and organized into geographic regions within the county, facilitating community partnerships, familiarity with the community, and effective community policing. Community Corrections have specialized caseloads/units: Sex Offenders, Gang, Domestic Violence, Treatment Courts, Drug Endangered Children, Limited Supervision, Transitional Services, and Gender Responsive Unit.  

Our vision is to implement programs and resources that reduce recidivism through systemic integration of evidence-based principles in collaboration with the community and justice partners. We have adopted a division motto, that sums up our approach:

Hope to change.

Courage to make it happen.

Determination to follow through.

As we are constantly striving to be the best Community Corrections​ operation around, please feel free to contact us with any feedback.
