PURPOSE/ACTION REQUESTED
Proclaim the week of July 21-27, 2024, Pretrial, Probation, and Parole Supervision Week in Dakota County.
SUMMARY
Every year on the third full calendar week of July, National Pretrial, Probation, and Parole Supervision Week is celebrated to recognize the hard work of people involved in community corrections. The week honors all community corrections workers across the country who spend their days working to improve outcomes both for the individual they supervise and for the public safety of our communities.
Probation officers are an essential part of the criminal justice system, and they uphold the law with dignity, while recognizing the right of the public to be safeguarded from criminal activity. Probation officers are responsible for supervising adults and juveniles in the community. They are trained professionals who provide services and referrals to clients, by working in partnership with community agencies and groups, and promoting prevention, intervention, and advocacy on behalf of the clients they supervise.
They provide services, support, and protection for victims, and advocate community and restorative justice, and are a true force for positive change in Dakota County.
