Community Supervision Program

The Community Supervision Program (CSP) provides offense specific supervision and containment for diverse offender populations. Community safety is best attained when offenders are externally monitored while working towards self-management.

Our Mission

We are dedicated to a safe world, and we are committed to providing offense specific supervision and surveillance services for professionals, judicial agencies and special needs populations.

The Community Supervision Program is a cost-effective and industry leading supervision and containment model that is:

Dynamic - Containment systems are creatively tailored to respond to the needs of the offender.
Humane - Staff behavior must be more ethical than the offender.
Educational - Reinforce clinical and/or probationary expectations.
Distinct - Our philosophy of service and leadership sets us apart from anyone else.
Reinforcing - Seeing others all the way through to positive results that belong to them.

When we demand that offender's be accountable, we must provide the means for them to demonstrate accountability.

Offenders on community supervision must agree to intensive and sometimes intrusive accountability measures, which enable them to remain in the community, rather than in prison. Offenders carry the responsibility to learn and demonstrate the importance of accountability to earn the right to remain in the community. This demonstration must include a positive attitude toward the acceptance of the conditions of parole, probation, treatment, and the ongoing containment system.

Behavioral monitoring and supervision of high-risk populations presents a formidable task for professionals, communities, and families whose lives are affected by this population. Managing these offenders brings new challenges in attempting to balance community safety and cost containment.

Our attitude and approach has been clearly demonstrated in our actions: a willingness to support the local community in appropriately managing its local population of high-risk individuals. We believe we have a responsibility to not overstate or understate the risk this population poses to the community and potential victims.

Restorative Justice

Restorative Justice is a new movement in the fields of victimology and criminology. Acknowledging that crime causes injury to people and communities, it insists that justice repair those injuries and that the parties be permitted to participate in that process. Restorative justice programs, therefore, enable the victim, the offender and affected members of the community to be directly involved in responding to the crime. They become central to the criminal justice process, with State and legal professionals becoming facilitators of a system that aims at offender accountability, reparation to the victim and full participation by the victim, offender and community.

Restorative justice begins when offenders pay for monitoring and the Community Supervision Program has made this possible.

Acknowledging that offenders cause injury to people and communities, CSP endorses the objectives of restorative justice. CSP helps the offender examine thoughts, feelings and behaviors that may stand in conflict with making necessary attitudinal changes toward victims, legal sanctions and society in general.

Probation should be considered a privilege, offered by the community and when misused can and should be revoked. When communities grant this privilege they should not be re-victimized. This occurs when communities pay for monitoring of offenders who are revoked.

When offenders pay for monitoring communities benefit in significant ways:

  • Frees budgetary dollars that can be applied to victim services and advocacy.
  • Frees technology and treatment dollars to be allocated to those truly in need.
  • Budgetary challenges are less likely to impact supervision and monitoring decisions.
  • Communities are not re-victimized when offenders are revoked.
