The Office of Community Corrections mission is to protect the community by supervising offenders and reporting non-compliance to the sentencing or releasing authority. Correctional Probation Officers enforce standard conditions of supervision stipulated by statute, as well as special conditions imposed by the court or sentencing authority, including victim restitution, substance abuse and/or mental health treatment programs, and other sanctions or restrictions. Offenders are monitored through field contacts at their residences, employment sites and other locations in the community. Officers conduct investigations and violation reports. Officers make appropriate referrals to assist the offender with resources available to complete their term of supervision successfully. The office also manages offenders received for supervision from other states through interstate compact agreements.
Offenders are supervised as directed by the court or the Florida Commission on Offender Review (FCOR). Types of supervision include contractual agreement, court imposed, and post-prison release.
