The Clinton County Probation Office supervises juvenile and adult clients sentenced to a term of court supervision or probation by the Clinton County Court system. Probation officers work with clients to ensure compliance with court orders. Probation Officers also assist clients in identifying areas of risk and need in order to provide resources, skill building, and cognitive-behavioral programs in order to facilitate behavior change in an equitable and non-judgemental manner. We strive to promote growth and pro-social attitudes and behaviors in our clients while reducing recidivism and increasing public safety.
