Our motto “First in Safety and Success” embodies our objective to provide community safety by reducing recidivism rates of the individuals under our supervision. This is accomplished by providing appropriate treatment and programming opportunities while holding individuals accountable to their supervision expectations. I am proud of the dedication of our nearly 185 employees and grateful to our community partners that make this happen.
