3. Probation Supervision: Youth who are placed on probation are supervised in the community by an Officer of the Court. Probation Officers perform ongoing assessments, service planning and make appropriate referrals for service based on the needs and risk of each individual. These services and supervision are provided with community safety, accountability, and competency development as the guiding principles.

These services start from the day the youth is committed and continue until their release from parole.
