We joined the American Probation and Parole Association (APPA) and a host of other agencies in recognizing members of the community corrections and supervision workforce during this year’s Pretrial, Probation, and Parole Supervision Week (PPPS Week) – July 15 to July 28, 2018.

The APPA chose “Restoring Trust and Creating Hope” as this year’s theme to encourage supervision professionals “to celebrate the amazing work you are doing to support efforts to make our neighborhoods whole” and “to continue developing and strengthening community collaborative strategies and programs that offer solutions to societal issues.”

District of Columbia Mayor Muriel Bowser recognized the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency and Pretrial Services Agency for the District of Columbia as ”invaluable community corrections agencies” who work “to promote successful reentry, reduce recidivism, [and] help make our communities safer and stronger.”

Here at CSOSA, we continue to be guided by the principles of community, accountability, and justice. Thanks to our own hard-working Community Supervision Officers and PSA’s Pretrial Services Officers, who enhance public safety in the District of Columbia for those who live, work, and play here.

    Mounting research indicates that there are significant benefits for our communities in helping men and women that have been in prison, jail, or on probation find employment.

    Unfortunately, some employers remain reticent to hiring someone who is or has been involved in the justice system, as evidenced by the need for laws such as Ban the Box, which, among other things, makes it illegal for an employer to inquire about criminal history prior to making a conditional offer of employment. In the District’s highly competitive and saturated job market, gainful employment remains an intractable challenge. For some, it is further compounded by the additional challenges posed by their history of involvement with the justice system.
