Standard probation supervision is the department’s main supervision program, including around 80% of the department’s caseload. Standard supervision is a sentencing option that requires probationers to comply with court ordered conditions of probation, while they remain in the community. Probation officers use a combination of evidence-based supervision techniques and referrals to community-based treatment and resource providers to address individual needs and promote pro-social behavior change. Typical sentences to standard probation are 18-24 months.
Standard probation involves several levels of supervision, which are based on the results of a validated risk and needs assessment. Individuals who are assessed at a higher risk for violating conditions and reoffending are required to report to their probation officer more frequently. Those assessed at a lower risk report less frequently. The results of the assessment are also used to develop an individualized supervision plan to promote goal setting and address probation conditions. Probation officers work collaboratively with individuals under supervision to update the case plan as progress is made. When individuals are noncompliant with their conditions, they are subject to administrative sanctions by the department, or a formal violation hearing with the court.
