Offenders, whom the court would most likely have sent to prison if it were not for the program, are placed on Intensive Probation Supervision and supervised by a select group of officers. Referrals to local providers are made to address any treatment needs. Office visits and community contacts with the offender are in accordance to level of risk as determined by a validated risk assessment. Probationers who successfully complete the one year intensive probation program are then placed under regular probation supervision for the remainder of their sentence.
