Tribal Probation and
Parole...
Tribal Probation/Parole serves the people through the
authority of the Tribal Council. Until July of 1996 the
programs (adult probation, juvenile probation and
community services) were components of the Tribal Court
System. At that time, upon the request of the Chief
Tribal Court Judge and the Chief Adult Probation Officer
(Jacque Morigeau), Tribal Council gave approval for the
Tribal Probation/Parole Department to separate from the
court. Physical separation was effective August 1, 1996
and budget separation became effective October 1, 1996.
Since that time there have been changes, programs have
come and gone. The Department now consists of Adult
Probation, Juvenile Probation, Youth Community Services
and Administration.
Mission Statement...
To provide a framework for adult and juvenile
probationers in order for them to become productive
citizens of the community. The Tribal Probation
Department can provide rehabilitative measures by
offering diversion opportunities, educational
opportunities, educational opportunities, treatment
opportunities, compliance incentives, job training
opportunities, which will instill work habits, give the
probationer a sense of self-worth, which will aid in
maintaining the family unit, fulfill fine obligations,
fulfill incarceration requirements, pay restitution,
satisfy the probationers debt to society, and be
released from Probation/Parole as successful. |
