Intake is responsible for the classification and evaluation of all Justice Involved Individuals (JII) entering Polk County Community Corrections from Circuit Court, as well as transfers from other jurisdictions. Upon initial sentencing and contact with the office, all JII’s will be scheduled individually with the Caseload Specialist and will be required to fill out an extensive intake packet prior to meeting with their assigned Probation/Parole Officers.

The Reduced Supervision Caseload (RSC) is a specialized supervision program focused on low-risk offenders who have satisfied the majority of their probation conditions.  The goal of this program is to offer offenders a less restrictive environment in which to complete supervision. The program rewards positive growth and positive completion of supervision conditions.  As in all other programs, offenders are held accountable and are monitored for compliance. 

The survey is now closed. Thank you to everyone who has filled out the Rural Broadband Survey.  

We will post the summary results on the County Web Page (www.co.polk.or.us) in September.  The summary information will also be shared with our partners to assist in developing a plan for expanding service in rural Polk County. As we develop future plans we will be sure to keep the public updated via our web site.

• 1 in 7 people don't know they have HIV. HIV is the virus that causes AIDS.
