Our Mission
The Rutherford County Probation and Recovery Services is committed to promoting and maintaining a safe community for the citizens of Rutherford County, Tennessee. The mission of the Department of Probation and Recovery Services is to protect the community by changing offender behavior, restoring losses to victims, and stressing offender accountability through effective treatment and case management practices.
What We Do
The Rutherford County Probation and Recovery Services acts as the "eyes and ears" of the Courts to supervise defendants convicted of or entering conditional guilty pleas to state and local crimes.
Services
Gather and verify information about persons who are sentenced to a term of probation by the Courts.
Enforce the Court's orders by ensuring probationers comply with the condition the Court has set for their release to the community.
Protect the community through effective supervision methods that reduce the probability that probationers will commit new criminal offenses.
Prepare reports the Courts rely on to make modification and revocation decisions. In compiling reports, Case Managers use such varied techniques as:
- Praises and/or reprimands
- Graduated sanctions
- Restricted movements and activities
- Requests for modifying the conditions of probation
- Seeking revocation of probationers who pose flight risks to public safety and/or have demonstrated a pattern of unwillingness to comply
Direct probationers to specialized services to address underlying problems that may be linked to the demonstrated criminal behavior. These services include:
- Behavioral intervention programs
- Substance abuse treatment
- Mental health treatment
- Medical care
- Vocational training
- Housing assistance - Employment assistance
Learn about Olive Branch!
We feel that helping our clients in all aspects of their life will assist them with their goals in becoming a more lawful contributing member of our community. After seeing the needs, we began gifting our giving bags, which consisted of a snack, water, socks, hand warmers and a few daily hygiene products, for the homeless and we've watched the need blossom.
Shannon heard about our cause and she and her women’s group from Living Water Church collected and donated a bunch of food and toiletry items for the Olive Branch! Thank you so much Shannon! Learn more about Olive Branch here.
