Introduction to Community Corrections 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, probation, parole, and corrections all work to achieve public safety. Yet, too often these agencies work independently through different means to achieve their common goal. However, working in isolation is often counterproductive and can unnecessarily create a competitive environment. Therefore, it is important for justice agencies-including community supervision agencies-to move away from a fragmented approach to business and move toward a more collaborative approach.
