The 59th District Court Probation Department services the cities
of Grandville and Walker. The mission of the Probation Department is
two-fold. First and foremost is the enforcement of the Order of
Probation, which entails a variety of conditions or requirements
that the Judge has specifically ordered for an offender to complete
or comply with. Probation Officers seek to accomplish this by
working with the offender to identify the underlying cause(s) as to
why they committed a crime and in referring them to appropriate
agencies to receive counseling, assistance or support. The goal is
to provide the person with opportunities for behavioral change and
hold them accountable for making changes that are needed in their
attitude, behavior or lifestyle.
The second part of our mission to engage with the community in a
variety of ways. This includes working with victims, helping collect
restitution; targeting work crews and community service work so that
offenders may make amends for their behavior. We also strive to
provide a degree of protection by the enforcement of curfews, "no
contact" orders and partnering with other community agencies.
Probation Officers also conduct alcohol assessments, pre-sentence
investigations, alcohol and drug tests, and hold monthly supervision
meetings with each probationer to ensure that they are being held
accountable. Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of
probation results in a hearing in front of the Judge at which time
other penalties, including jail time, may be imposed.
