Neighborhood Based Supervision

Neighborhood Centered Community Supervision is a philosophical and programmatic approach to caseload management provided by the Juvenile Probation Department of the Court of Common Pleas. It is intended to further the Juvenile Act's emphasis on the Balanced Approach to Restorative Juvenile Justice. It promotes government and community partnerships in an effort to maximize the effective supervision of juvenile offenders and reduce delinquent conduct. Direct supervision of juveniles in neighborhood settings is employed in order to facilitate the utilization of community resources and assure the accountability of juvenile offenders.

To facilitate this, the Erie County Juvenile Probation Department has three facilities where our teams of Probation Officers, Specialized Probation Officers and School Based Probation Officers collaborate for effective supervision.

The first is the Erie County Courthouse where Intake, Court Hearings, and some special services are housed. This address is as follows:
