COMMUNITY SERVICE - Offenders are sentenced by the Courts under Sentencing Guidelines to non-custodial units. This program provides the Work Crew and Community Service placements with government or non-profit community service agencies for the benefit for the community. Custody units are credited towards the sentence imposed. In addition, community service may be imposed on offenders who violate their supervision as probationers, parolees, or post prison supervision. The program will also serve those offenders who participate in the "Community Corrections Center" as a means of providing work credit towards reduced sentences.

TRANSITIONAL HOUSING - The Transitional House is a 13 bed home for male offenders only. This house is intended to be for short term housing for offenders releasing from the Department of Corrections or Local Control custody. That said there will be some long term residents that Community Corrections allows to reside there because of public safety concerns, as well as offenders who reside there who become homeless and need temporary housing.

The Transition House is not custody and is not staffed by Community Corrections personnel, although all residents are supervised at a high level and are required to participate in appropriate programming based on their crime(s) of conviction and condition requirements.

Umatilla County Community Corrections provide an array of alcohol and drug and other programs to address problematic issues that resulted in court decisions to place individuals on community supervision.

Field supervision consists of monitoring the behavior and movement of offenders in the community to ensure compliance with the conditions of the releasing authority. Duties include conducting unscheduled/unannounced contacts with offenders in their home environments, places of employment, the probation office, and other community locations, including searches when indicated. Other duties include: gathering information from collateral sources, participating and being available to law enforcement agencies, being a physical presence in the community to aid in the deterrence of criminal conduct, being a resource to the community, enhancing public safety through community notification, reporting to the releasing authorities, and recommending appropriate sanctions and terminations. Priority is given to those offenders who pose the highest risk to re-offend.

HOW DO I OBTAIN A TRAVEL PERMIT TO LEAVE THE STATE? You need the written permission of your Probation and Parole Officer to travel outside of Oregon. Failure to obtain permission, prior to leaving the state, is a violation of your supervision conditions and could result in a sanction. It is important to plan ahead and request a travel permit several days ahead of when you actually need it. You don’t want to find yourself needing a permit for an important trip, only to find out that your supervising officer is unavailable or that the office is closed for a holiday.

I’VE BEEN CONVICTED OF A SEX OFFENSE, WILL I BE ABLE TO HAVE CONTACT AND/OR LIVE WITH MY CHILDREN WHEN I’M RELEASED FROM CUSTODY? No. Once released or new to supervision you will undergo a sex offender treatment evaluation. This evaluation along with crime specific and full disclosure polygraphs will be used to determine the number and nature of your past victims. This information, along with treatment progress and engagement will be used to determine when and if your contact will be allowed, and in what circumstances
