Scott County A&D Program

The Scott County Probation Department serves the Scott Circuit and Superior Courts, overseeing the supervision and investigation of both adult and juvenile offenders at various stages of the judicial process, including pre-trial and post-conviction. As a court-ordered alternative to imprisonment, probation offers offenders the opportunity to remain in the community under the supervision of a probation officer, provided they adhere to specific standards of conduct. This approach not only presents a cost-effective alternative to incarceration but also aims to protect public safety, support victim restitution, and facilitate the reintegration of offenders into productive society.

The primary mission of the Scott County Probation Department is to uphold the directives of the Courts by ensuring community protection and offender accountability while fostering personal growth and competency development. By leveraging community resources, the department encourages individuals under supervision to make positive changes in their lives. The department is committed to delivering the highest quality services to the Courts, victims, offenders, families, and the broader community. Through the application of evidence-based interventions, the Probation Department maintains a balanced approach, integrating both treatment and enforcement strategies to optimize rehabilitation outcomes. This comprehensive approach underscores the department's dedication to enhancing public safety and facilitating offender rehabilitation.
