For Adult Court Clients

The NYC Department of Probation (DOP) helps build stronger and safer communities by supervising people on probation and fostering opportunities for them to move out of the criminal justice system through meaningful education, employment, health services, family engagement, and community participation.

We have created a number of resources designed to explain the work we do and help our Adult Court clients get the most out of their time on probation.

Success Story

In January 2009, Mark was placed on five years of probation supervision in the Bronx. Although Mark’s grades fluctuated, his principal and guidance counselor believed that he was a very intelligent young man. His Probation Officer, Ms. Clayton, recognized Mark’s strengths and encouraged his ambitions. With PO Clayton's encouragement, Mark entered the Children's Defense Fund’s “Beat the Odds Scholarship Essay Contest” and won a $1,000 scholarship. Mark took his GED exam and scored 3,080 out of 4,000, and later scored an impressive 1400 on his SAT exam. Mark now supports himself and is making plans to fulfill his dream of becoming a doctor.
