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.
