Functions
The Intake officer conducts the initial orientation of all defendants who are sentenced by the court to serve a term of probation. The officer reviews the probation order in its entirety with the probationer, assuring that all conditions and obligations are fully understood.
Determining Level of Supervision
The Intake Officer conducts a thorough interview with the probationer to gather pertinent background information that will be used to begin an assessment process. This process will determine the needs and risks of the offender and will be used to assign the offender to the appropriate probation officer for supervision.
