About New York City Department of Probation

Mission

The New York City Department of Probation helps build stronger and safer communities by working with and supervising people on probation, fostering positive change in their decision-making and behavior, and expanding opportunities for them to move out of the criminal and juvenile justice systems through meaningful education, employment, health services, family engagement and civic participation.

Vision

The New York City Model of Probation advances public safety and improves communities by adopting a Justice Reinvestment framework. Justice Reinvestment is a two-part approach that focuses resources on individuals who pose the highest risk to public safety and reinvests in the communities where people on probation live. By partnering with government agencies, community organizations and residents, DOP:

Matches individuals to appropriate probation supervision and support services based on their needs, interests and risk to public safety.

Rewards people under supervision with incentives when they do right by themselves and their communities.

Establishes a Neighborhood Opportunity Network (NeON) with community organizations, government agencies, local businesses and residents to expand client access to quality opportunities, resources and services that build on their strengths and reduce involvement with criminal and juvenile justice systems.

Uses current research and best available information to inform policy and practice.

Reinvests in communities where people on probation live in ways that support positive individual and community outcomes.

Empowers staff by integrating them into decision-making processes, recognizing their achievements, rewarding positive change and providing the information and training needed to implement our ambitious priorities.

Reviews

College Summer Intern

June 2019 - August 2019 New York City, NY
“I interned with the CARES program and got to work one on one every day with juveniles on probation or supervision. I was able to take them on trips to museums, amusement parks and places all over NYC. During workshops on Wednesday's I was able to hear their goals for the future, and help mold their thinking process of decisions and help them figure out the appropriate responses to future scenarios in their lives. ”
