Creating Productive Partnerships is proudly presented to you by CEQ American Probation and Parole Association. Thank you. We hope that you enjoy your course.
Law enforcement, courts, pretrial, probation, parole, and corrections all work to achieve public safety. Many of these agencies, including community corrections agencies, have entered into partnerships to achieve their goals. As agencies begin new partnerships, or continue old partnerships, community corrections professionals should be aware of the dynamics of creating and maintaining productive partnerships.
