Probation Department

The Probation Department supervises offenders on community service, diversion, electronic monitoring and probation, completes presentence investigations, collects restitution and provides drug testing for the Court. The department receives a grant funded by the State of Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction that allows us to operate the Community Service and Electronic Monitoring programs at no cost to the local taxpayer.

Statistics

During 2008, 163 offenders participated in the Community Service Program. These offenders worked a total of 2,343.75 hours at various work sites throughout Sandusky. This program saved our taxpayers a total of $30,078.13 which otherwise would have been spent housing these individuals in jail for 547 days.

Our Electronic Monitoring Program helps alleviate jail overcrowding, while providing 24-hour supervision. This saves jail costs and allows low risk offenders to still work and provide for their families as well as pay fines and restitution. This program admitted 49 offenders in 2008. This saved a total of 1,153 jail days, saving the taxpayers $63,415.

In total, the Sandusky Municipal Court Probation Department saved the taxpayers $93,493.13 in 2008.

Since the implementation of the community service and electronic monitoring programs in 1996, these programs have saved the taxpayers more than $1.4 million.
