The Adult Division holds offenders accountable while promoting change through the principles of "correctional best practices", empirically measured assessments, and program initiatives, which target and reduce criminogenic factors. Agents promote personal responsibility in offenders by encouraging pro-social attitudes, while connecting offenders with resources that address individual needs. Victims are served through restorative justice measures implemented by probation officers, other professional staff (Victim Services), and volunteers.
Agents provide probation, supervised release, investigative services and reports for the Court and Department of Corrections. Additional duties may include treatment group co-facilitation, transfer investigations, collateral services, and assessments. The Olmsted Supervision Unit is sub-divided into three specialized teams (Female, Domestic/Violent, and Drug/Alcohol/Property) in order to better address the unique needs of offenders. The Unit manages cases, except sex offenses, of adult offenders requiring correctional supervision.
The Adult Probation Division consists of the following:
- Olmsted County Intake Unit
- Olmsted County Supervision Unit
- DFO Sex Offender Unit
- Dodge, and Fillmore Probation
Juvenile services provides community supervision, monitoring of court-ordered conditions, restorative justice opportunities, coordination of collateral services and out-of home placements, investigative services and reports for the court, and correctional counseling of probation, parole and extended jurisdictional juvenile offenders through contact with the individual, their families and other system professionals.
