Probation RequisitesParticipation in the Traditional Probation and ISP programs requires offenders to abide by several probationrequisites. These include: Level of Participation; Length of Sentence; and Probation Conditions.1. Level of ParticipationThe levels of participation in Traditional Probation are reporting, non-reporting, or mail-in.The decision regarding the level of participation is often based on a participant’s need foraccountability. Reporting is the only level of participation for offenders sentenced to ISP.Reporting probationers are required to report to their Probation Officer, in person, a minimumof once a month. Non-reporting probationers are not typically required to meet with theirProbation Officer unless the Officer feels a visit is warranted (e.g. offender is suspected ofviolating a condition of probation). Mail-in probationers are required to submit a written reportonce per month and typically do not reside in Ottawa County.The following table (Table 7) illustrates the number of offenders who were sentenced toprobation as well as their level of participation.Table 7Type of ProbationTraditional ISP TotalReporting 1,171 (87.4%) 232 (100%) 1,403 (89.3%)Non-Reporting 151 (11.3%) 0 (0.0%) 151 (9.6%)Mail-In 18 (1.3%) 0 (0.0%) 18 (1.1%)Total 1,340 (100%) 232 (100%) 1,572 (100%)Source: Department of Probation and Community CorrectionsTraditional ProbationISP11%1%88%100%Reporting Non-Reporting Mail-InEvaluation: Traditional and ISP Probation Page 7 Prepared by: Ottawa County Planning Department (08/03/07)
