Daily Supervision
The Intensive Probation Supervision (IPS) officer's role is to provide comprehensive, daily supervision to high-risk juvenile offenders as an alternative to the commitment to the Department of Juvenile Justice. The minor is court-ordered into the IPS program for the length of the probation term or until successfully completing a three-level phase program.
Early Completion & Requirements
If the minor completes the program before the end of the probation period, he/she would be egressed to regular probation. In addition to the regular terms of probation, the minor must abide by a strict curfew, participate in community service, intervention therapy, and submit to regular drug and alcohol tests.
