Probation

The Primary Functions of the Cattaraugus County Probation Department

Intake Diversion:

Preliminary probation procedures authorized by law to evaluate all complaints regarding juveniles, either Juvenile Delinquent (JD's), or Persons In Need of Supervision (PINS) and adjust such complaints through voluntary participation in an informal probation supervision.

Investigation:

The conduct of background investigations as ordered by the court (County, City, Justice, Family) on convicted/adjudicated defendants / respondents scheduled for sentence.

Supervision:

The ongoing monitoring and case management activities of those individuals sentenced to probation. This is the most important activity of a Probation Officer as it relates directly to the public safety aspect of our mission.
