Division of Adult Parole Operations
The Division of Adult Parole Operations is responsible for protecting the community by enabling parole agents to play an active role in the local community’s public safety plans and supporting parole supervised people in their effort to successfully reintegrate into the community. The Division offers a wide range of programs and services and utilizes evidence-based tools to effect long-term behavior change for parolees to earn an opportunity to discharge. The goal is to maintain gains during their parole period that will extend to post supervision.
