County Probation Office

The Haralson County Probation Department handles misdemeanor probation in the county for Superior and Probate Court, and is charged with overseeing probation sentences imposed as an alternative to incarceration. The Probation Department monitors offenders on probation, ensuring they follow the court-ordered conditions to avoid jail or other punishments. The Probation Office implements probation orders, conducts community-based supervision, and works to reduce the likelihood of recidivism. They also help rehabilitate adult and juvenile offenders.

This office maintains detailed records on probationers under its authority. These records include the individual's personal information, the charge that led to probation, and the terms of the probation. Probation terms can include requirements to seek treatment, attend counseling, or pay restitution to victims, and can also bar individuals on probation from traveling or contacting certain people. Probation Department records also list the length of the probation and any probation violations.
