What is Self-Supervised Probation?
Self-Supervised Probation is a program intended mainly for first-time offenders that are not considered a high risk to the community. Clients do not have a probation officer meeting with them on a regular basis to ensure that they complete their requirements. Instead, they are responsible for arranging and completing all court-ordered obligations and are given a probation officer as a contact person to answer questions and/or offer guidance as needed. The Department of Correctional Services is responsible for providing the court with reports on a client’s probation status.
