Welcome

What is the Probation Service doing for the people of Leicestershire and Rutland? Our website aims to answer that question, and gives you the opportunity to feedback your comments – and your concerns about crime in the community to our Chief Officer Group.

Keeping informed, and being up-to-date with new developments will enable you to understand the different aspects of Probation work and be in a better position to tell fact from fiction.

Fact: the Leicestershire and Rutland Probation Area (LRPA) has a designated team of staff who work solely with the victims of crime to keep them informed of the progress and release date of the man or woman who perpetrated the crime against them.

The Probation Service primary aims are to the protect the public by supervising offenders in the community, who are on a Community Order or have been released from prison on a licence - and to reduce re-offending by working with offenders to enable them to maintain productive and lawful lifestyles.

Our website has been designed to provide a comprehensive overview of our work as a criminal justice agency. The home page has been specifically created for ease of access.

Find out about:

• support for victims of crime,
• nominate a project of work that can be carried out by supervised offenders,
• understand how we work with potentially dangerous offenders,
• what happens when you have been sentenced to supervision by the Probation Service?
