HOW WE DO IT / OUR PROCESS
       
Prior To Service Of Your Court  
 
 


• Judicial Correction Services will provide a sample probation order for your review and approval. You are free to edit as necessary. Once a final draft is approved, we will print these up in multi-part form for in-court use. JCS is responsible for all printing costs.
• JCS’ Operations Manager will meet with court personnel to review exactly how we
work in a typical operation. Based on this and your specific needs we will develop a working plan for your Court.
• From the very first court date, we will have your court staffed with the trained JCS personnel.

In-Court Procedure  
 
 

• Offender is found guilty in court, and sentence includes probation.
• File and offender come to see one of the JCS Probation Officers present in court.
• Our Probation Officer completes the order by entering the sentence conditions, fine amount, etc. Court personnel do not have any paperwork to complete.
• The order is explained to the offender and a brief initial intake is done.
• An appointment date is set for the offender.
• Offender is given a copy of the order, order is returned to the bench for signature, the original is placed into the court’s files, JCS retains a copy for it’s files.

 
 
       
Operationally  
 
 

• Location is established for offender appointments. Hours structured to be convenient to the court and the offenders we serve.
• All funds received are deposited promptly at a local bank.
• Fines and other money collected will be remitted to the City no less frequently than
once a month. Along with your check, you will receive remittance advice that shows the amount collected, from whom (name and case number).
• An accounting of all activity- financial, offender, case notes, etc will be available to the City (24/7) via a secure Internet site. Reports may also be faxed to the City upon request.
• Internal measurements of our offender management program are continually monitored. JCS will report periodically results to ensure the City’s expectations are being met or exceeded.

 
 
       
Turn-Key Management Software  
 
 

JCS proudly utilizes its own proprietary Probation Management Software to track all caseloads from start to finish.
ProbationTracker is an online system where all offender and case data is managed.
Through a secure site, you (or authorized parties) can see up to the minute, accurate data on a single case, caseload, or entire court system. We depart from the typical supervised probation company philosophy in that we believe the data belongs to you, not us. Next we use a fine/fee system that favors the court and the offender. Third we employ a system that greatly reduces the number of sentence modifications a probationer may require. That creates a higher success rate and fewer burdens on your court.
