Mission Statement
The mission of the Saratoga County Probation Department is to affect positive change in juvenile and criminal offender behavior through the use of evidence-based probation practice, consistent with the rules and regulations set forth by the New York State Division of Probation and Correctional Alternatives (DPCA), which enhances public safety through the reduction of recidivism.
Probation staff members work not for the department, but for the public who expect excellence from their public servants. The public entrusts the probation department with the responsibility of affecting long-term behavioral change in the wayward members of their communities and to hold accountable those offenders whose behavior places them at risk.
RESPONSIBLE FOR:
Programs and Services
The Adult Services Unit
The Adult Services Unit completes probation reports for the Courts in Saratoga County which aid the Courts in determining the appropriate dispositions for offenders. In addition, the Probation Department provides supervision of the adult offenders who are placed on probation.
Juvenile Services Unit
The Juvenile Services Unit provides three major services:
-
Intake, where juveniles are diverted from the Family Court and handled through the Probation Department.
-
The completion of Pre-Dispositional Investigations of juveniles referred to Family Court
-
The supervision of juveniles sentenced to probation, Adjournment in Contemplation of Dismissal (ACOD), or Conditional Discharge.
Community safety is the primary consideration in dealing with juveniles and rehabilitation of the juvenile is secondary.
