Marshall County Probation

The Probation Department plays a crucial role in ensuring probationers comply with court-ordered conditions, focusing on misdemeanor criminal offenses that carry a maximum jail sentence and probation term of up to 11 months and 29 days per offense. Their primary goal is to improve community safety by guiding probationers through a structured rehabilitation process. Under the program, probationers may be required to complete various treatment programs, such as intensive alcohol and drug treatment, anger management, and batterer’s intervention. Additionally, they may participate in self-help groups, undergo regular alcohol and drug testing, pay restitution to victims, and perform community service work. The department's probation officers take an active, hands-on approach to ensure probationers meet their requirements and successfully complete their probation terms. This approach aims to promote personal responsibility and reduce the risk of reoffending, contributing to a safer and more accountable community.
