We strive to achieve our mission, “Working to Build a Safer Community,” by assisting clients to make positive life changes and reduce the risks for future criminal activity. Our staff delivers client case management in a fair, balanced, and equitable approach, tailored to individuals’ unique needs, while emphasizing personal accountability and justice for crime victims. The department provides court services, community supervision for persons on probation and supervised release, and operates both adult and juvenile correctional facilities. Our practices are informed by and responsive to evolving criminal justice research and outcome data.
