A week of celebration & recognition!
Those who work with offenders understand that there can be many reasons why the individuals they supervise struggle with life. Perhaps they have an alcohol or substance abuse problem that interferes with work and family and that has led them into breaking the law. Maybe they lack job skills or education that hinders them in finding employment to support themselves and their families. Probation, parole and community supervision officers can help offenders gain skills, get treatment and community support that will enable them to live successful, crime-free lives. These officers can also recognize when an offender may not be ready or able to make the changes necessary to ensure public safety.
The Keys to a Better Tomorrow are right in your own agency. It's the work you do to balance providing assistance to offenders while ensuring public safety. The work is not easy. It’s often frustrating, time consuming and exhausting, but greatly needed.
Be proud of the work you do - APPA is!
