The Onondaga County Probation Department had been aggressively implementing the concept of community supervision. Three 32-person teams were created (two city and one county) to develop crime and violence prevention strategies in collaboration with community partners. The Department had more than doubled the number of minority probation officers, who now were 17 percent of the staff. The Department has joined the Surveillance, Treatment and Rehabilitation Together Team, a community supervision initiative, in partnership with the Syracuse Police Department. Probation officers and police officers rode together in two-person teams to supervise probationers in the community. The report discusses Department programs, including investigations and probation supervision, with special attention to driving while intoxicated, domestic violence, and sexual offense cases. The Department used the following alternatives to incarceration: electronic home confinement, intensive supervision, day reporting, residential programs, pretrial release, conditional release, and MATRIX, a chemical dependency program that is part of the conditional release program. The report also discusses nine alternative programs for juvenile offenders. Figures
