Background

 

In Illinois, Probation and Court Services are part of the judicial branch of government.  Department personnel are appointed by and accountable to the Chief Judge of the Circuit.  County Boards exercise budget authority.  The Administrative Office of the Illinois Courts - Probation Division provides a salary subsidy to counties for all qualified personnel.  In return, departments must comply with operational standards and monitoring requirements established by the Probation Division.  The oversight of the Division extends to all aspects of the organization, administration, and operation of Illinois Probation and Court Services Departments.

 

 The Adams County Court Services Department includes the Probation Department and the Juvenile Detention Center.  The Probation Department has 20 total positions (17 officer and administrative positions, and 3 secretaries) .

 

The Probation Department and the Detention Center are administered by the Director of Court Services. The Superintendent of the Detention Center and the Chief Probation Officer are responsible for the day to day operation of each agency.
