In
1999, at the direction of the President Judge of the
Venango County Court of Common Pleas, the adult
intermediate punishment and juvenile probation
departments were merged in an effort to create economies
and efficiency. A total of twenty five staff are
currently responsible for a plethora of tasks including:
preparing recommendations for the Court, supervision of
offenders, collection of fines, costs, and restitution,
coordinating treatment of offenders and implementing
programs designed to increase offender competencies and
reduce recidivism. Court Supervision Services is
committed to providing a balanced approach to the
administration of justice. Our programs and supervision
strategies are designed to protect the community, hold
the offender accountable, restore the victim, and
address offender competencies. |
