Linn County Parole and Probation has a vision to be a team of balanced professionals committed to the continuous improvement of our community. We are promoting public safety through supporting positive change in the lives of our clients.

Our first priority is always community safety. A very close second is that of client rehabilitation. We understand that without one, we can’t have the other. All of our efforts have an overarching goal to promote community safety.

• We utilize the best research based risk assessments available to ascertain risk, need and responsivity.
• We prioritize and provide the highest level of supervision resources to clients who present the greatest risk to our community.
• We believe in building and establishing professional alliances with our clients to best assist in changing criminal thinking and behavior.
• We involve clients in the change process by sharing assessment results, partnering in case plan development, enhancing motivation, increasing the desire for healthy change and supporting positive choices.
• We utilize a strength based, working and evolving, case plan that is specific to the clients risk, needs, and responsivity factors.
• We work to utilize and develop evidenced-based intervention programs that aim to reduce risk and promote healthy change.
• We monitor clients through home and office visits, urinalysis drug testing, treatment monitoring and polygraph testing and report violations to the Court, Local Supervisory Authority, or the Board of Parole.
• We utilize a continuum of sanctions that include counseling, treatment, community service, work crew, electronic home detention, GPS tracking and jail.
• We strive to tie our sanctioning recommendations to the client’s risk, need, and responsivity.
• Our field supervision caseloads are divided into geographic regions within the county, facilitating community partnerships, familiarity with the community, and effective community policing.
• In addition to general supervision, we have caseloads that specialize in sex offender supervision, domestic violence court, mental health, drug court, transition services, low/limited supervision and intensive supervision.
